INSIDE LEAD [15 records]

Record 1 2016-02-29

English

Subject field(s)
  • Food Preservation and Canning
CONT

Flipper: a can that normally appears flat; when brought down sharply on its end on a flat surface, one end flips out. When pressure is applied to this end, it flips in again and the can appears flat. Flippers result from a lack of vacuum.

CONT

Normally, the two ends of the food can should be flat indicating partial vacuum. If pressure develops inside, the ends bulge and the extent of bulging can lead to a flipper, a springer, a soft swell or a hard swell depending on the pressure inside the can.

CONT

The words "flipper," "springer," "swell," etcetera are used rather loosely by the canning trade.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Conservation des aliments et conserverie
DEF

Récipient fermé traité à la chaleur [...] dont l'aspect est normal mais dont, lorsque l'on frappe le serti ou l'un des fond, l'autre fond ressort.

OBS

Le fond peut être remis en place ou rendu légèrement concave par une légère pression.

CONT

Los defectos físicos que se observen en el envase [de alimentos] como abolladuras, golpes que lo deformen, oxidación, [...], abombamiento, etcétera. Según su apariencia externa clasificarlas como sigue: Latas. [...] Latas planas o normales. [...]. [Latas con] abombamiento ligero (flipper), [...] únicamente uno de los extremos de la lata se encuentra ligeramente abombado, pero puede comprimirse fácilmente. [Latas con] abombamiento elástico (springer), [...] uno de los extremos se encuentra abombado; al presionarle el extremo opuesto se abulta.

Record 2 2016-01-19

English

Subject field(s)
  • Liver and Biliary Ducts
DEF

[The] closure or absence of some or all of the major bile ducts.

CONT

In biliary atresia the bile duct that leads from the liver to the intestine becomes damaged preventing bile from leaving the liver. In the early stages the bile duct outside the liver is mainly affected, but in later stages bile ducts inside the liver are also damaged. This can lead to build up of bile in the liver which can be harmful to the liver.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Foie et voies biliaires
CONT

En présence d'atrésie des voies biliaires, le conduit allant du foie à l'intestin se détériore, ce qui empêche le foie d'évacuer la bile. Dans les premiers stades de la maladie, le conduit biliaire situé à l'extérieur du foie est principalement affecté, mais aux stades plus avancés, les conduits biliaires situés dans le foie se détériorent eux aussi. Une accumulation de bile peut alors se former dans le foie et l'endommager.

Springer: A can with one end bulged out. With sufficient pressure, this end will flip in, but the other end will flip out.

DEF

Canter on the outside lead, performed [unintentionally].

CONT

In the false canter(Counter Canter) or the canter on the wrong lead, the horse leads with the outside foreleg instead of the inside foreleg as he should.

CONT

The counter canter refers to the horse’s ability to take the unnatural lead. In a circle to the right the horse would counter canter in his left lead, in a circle to the left he’d be on the right lead. When used properly, the counter canter can be a tool to encourage the horse to travel with an improved capacity for straightness, balance and rated cadence or speed ... The counter canter or a disunited lead can crop up when a horse is positioned incorrectly for a canter depart or lead change. Make sure you’ve asked for the counter canter when it shows up.

CONT

Melissa Cannon has a lovely horse in Northern Express but today is not their day, the horse losing balance few times during the extended trot work and switching legs during the counter canter before asked.

CONT

Coming out of an extended walk that needed more on it, the horse strikes off into canter on the wrong lead but once Blair swaps his legs over the magic begins ...

OBS

In an intentional counter canter, the horse's body is upright as the lead leg follows the bridge of the nose, which is tipped ever-so-slightly to the outside. In an accidental wrong lead, the horse's nose is tipped to the inside of the circle causing the inside shoulder to drop when the lead is picked up. They are very different, even though the footfall is the same.

OBS

The term "counter canter" can refer to both an intentional and an incorrect lead.

Record 10 1998-02-27

English

Subject field(s)
  • Fluid Mechanics and Hydraulics (Physics)
  • Engines (Motor Vehicles)
CONT

Automotive engineers could imagine, for instance, constructing an electrorheological clutch. The fluid inside this clutch would couple a car's engine to its drive shaft, which delivers power to the wheels. When solidified, the fluid would force the drive shaft to rotate. As it liquifies, the fluid would allow the engine to disengage from the drive shaft and spin freely, as if in neutral gear. Such a clutch would have few parts to wear or fail. And with a response time of a few milliseconds, it would make purely mechanical clutches look slow. It was also hoped that electrorheological fluids would lead to valveless hydraulic systems, in which solidifying fluid would shut off flow through a thin section of pipe.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Mécanique des fluides et hydraulique (Physique)
  • Moteur (Véhicules automobiles)
CONT

Les ingénieurs du secteur automobile imaginaient par exemple de construire un embrayage électro-rhéologique. Le fluide de l'embrayage pourrait coupler le moteur d'une voiture à son arbre moteur, qui délivre la puissance aux roues. Solidifié, le fluide entraînerait l'arbre moteur dans sa rotation. En se liquéfiant, le fluide laisserait le moteur se désolidariser de l'arbre moteur et tourner librement, comme au point mort. Un tel embrayage aurait peu de composants susceptibles de s'user ou de tomber en panne. Son temps de réponse de quelques millièmes de secondes ridiculiserait les embrayages purement mécaniques. On espérait aussi que les fluides électro-rhéologiques permettraient d'élaborer des dispositifs hydrauliques sans soupapes, où le fluide solidifié arrêterait le débit à travers une section étroite de la tuyauterie.

  • Medical and Surgical Equipment
CONT

Doctors sometimes have to resort to inserting a feeding tube directly into the stomach of a patient who cannot maintain their weight by eating. But, like any surgery, this can lead to complications. Now an inventor believes he could achieve the same result more safely using two magnets--one inside the stomach and one outside. The two magnets gradually come together, boring a small, neat hole between the stomach and the outside.
