Record 3 2008-01-15

English

Subject field(s)
  • Aeronautical Engineering and Maintenance
CONT

Two-stage line-type hydraulic system filters are being used in some recent aircraft models. The typical two-stage filter has two filter elements, two bypass valves, and two differential pressure indicators. The first-stage element can filter out smaller particles than the second-stage element can. Normally, the fluid passes through both elements, flowing first through the first stage element. As long as the first stage element is unclogged and functioning, there will be no foreign matter left for the second-stage element to remove. However, if the first-stage element becomes clogged, its bypass valve opens and fluid goes directly from the filter inlet port to the second-stage element, which then takes over the job of filtering out foreign particles.

OBS

two-stage filter (Boeing 727); dual element filter, dual filter (Douglas).

Somatic Cell Nuclear Transfer(SCNT) involves transferring the nucleus of an adult somatic cell into an enucleated egg cell. The cell is then cultured until it divides a number of times to form a blastocyst or early embryo. At this stage, the embryonic stem cells within the blastocyst may be removed. Alternatively, the embryo may be implanted into a surrogate mother and left to develop normally.
