Infiltration flooding. After a few days of steady rain, when spring snow-melt occurs or during an extreme rainfall event, the soil around [the] home can become saturated with water. Steady snow-melt and precipitation can also raise the ground water level to a point where it is higher than [the] basement floor. This groundwater can infiltrate into basements through cracks in basement walls(or foundation walls) and cracks in basement floors.

The Zarya control module, also known by the technical term Functional Cargo Block and the Russian acronym FGB, was the first component launched for the International Space Station and provides the station's initial propulsion and power.... The U. S.-funded and Russian-built Zarya, which means Sunrise when translated to English, is a U. S. component of the station although it was built and launched by Russia.... The Zarya module is 41. 2 feet long and 13. 5 feet wide at its widest point. It has an operational lifetime of at least 15 years. Its solar arrays and six nickel-cadmium batteries can provide an average of 3 kilowatts of electrical power. Using the Russian Kurs system, the Zarya will perform an automated and remotely piloted rendezvous and docking with the Service Module in orbit. Its docking power will accommodate Russian Soyuz piloted spacecraft and unpiloted Progress resupply spacecraft. Each of the two solar arrays is 35 feet long and 11 feet wide. The module's 16 fuel tanks combined can hold more than 6 tons of propellant. The attitude control system for the module includes 24 large steering jets and 12 small steering jets. Two large engines are available for reboosting the spacecraft and making major orbital changes. 6, record 5, English, - Zarya%20control%20module

The pick is wide at the head and tapers to a point at the end … The primary use for it in the fire service is as a digging tool.

The Rutschblock test (shear block) and it’s cousin the Rutschkiel test (pronounced Rootch-kyle) have rapidly become the standard snowpit test of choice for avalanche professional who do a lot of snowpits ... First, on a slope of at least 30 degrees, isolate a block of snow about a ski length across, and a ski pole length up the slope (2 meters wide by 1.5 meters upslope). If you use a snow saw which mounts on the end of an avalanche probe ski pole you can cut the block in under a minute ... Next, simply step onto the block with your skis or snowboard on and jump progressively harder until the block fails. 1, record 15, English, - Rutschkiel%20test

Le principe de fonctionnement des GFO [gyromètre à fibre optique] correspond non plus à une cavité optique résonante mais à une bobine de fibre optique qui peut atteindre plusieurs kilomètres. La différence de chemin optique rencontrée par les deux ondes contra-propagatives, en présence d'une rotation suivant l'axe de la bobine, est mise en évidence par une différence de phase au point de combinaison. Il ne s'agit donc plus d'une différence de fréquence des deux ondes comme dans le cas du gyrolaser, mais d'une différence de phase. 4, record 19, French, - faisceau%20de%20lumi%C3%A8re%20contra%2Drotatif

In a single-crystal blade casting the first element to solidify is a "starter block" attached to the root of the [turbine] blade by a narrow helical passage in the mould. The helical passage obstructs the growth of multiple crystal boundaries, with the result that the blade is formed from a single crystal. This crystal propagates in two halves around the strong-back. The two halves of the blade can then be joined by a process called "transient liquid phase" bonding, in which the halves are mated around a foil "gasket" of the same alloy as the blade--coated with boron to reduce its melting point--and joined under pressure. The gasket and the thin layer of metal immediately adjacent to it melt, the boron dissipates completely and the part solidifies while still under pressure. As far as can be ascertained, the join produced by this means in a single-crystal blade is effectively perfect. 1, record 28, English, - gasket

Dans le procédé de coulée des aubes à structure mono-cristalline, le premier élément solidifié est un «bloc de démarrage» relié à la base de l'aube par un étroit passage hélocoïdal pratiqué dans le moule. Ce passage empêche la formation de joints multiples entre les cristaux, ce qui fait que l'aube est formée d'un seul cristal. Ce cristal se propage en deux moitiés autour de la pièce de renforcement. Les deux moitiés de l'aube sont ensuite scellées au moyen d'un procédé appelé «transient liquid phase», qui consiste à assembler les deux moitiés autour d'une feuille du même alliage que l'aube -- feuille qui est revêtue de bore pour abaisser son point de fusion -- et à les assembler ensuite sous pression.
