A switch point derail …, sometimes referred to as a split switch derail, is a track switch installed at the derail location. The switch point derail can be operated as a power derail or as a conventional hand-operated derail. In both cases, the switch is activated from outside the track just as a regular track switch would be. However, there is no track extending from the diverging route. When the switch point derail is in the derailing position, rail cars are diverted directly to the roadbed. 2, record 3, English, - switch%20point%20derail

A Unique Freeze Dryer Shelf and Condenser Chilling System. Most lyophilizers(freeze dryers) are designed with a single refrigeration system, which is required to switch from product chilling to condenser cooling in the lyophilization phase. If the shelf heating cycle should demand both cooling and heating to maintain a given temperature set point during the drying phase(as is the case with long and slow shelf temperature rises), the refrigeration system must operate in the dual role of cooling both the shelves and the condenser in order to maintain operational vacuum. If the sublimation rate from the product is high, this can often result in the refrigeration systems inability to meet both requirements. Most manufacturers attempt to compensate for these conditions by oversizing the compressor, which can lead to overloading in the terminal phase, resulting in reducing compressor life and reliability. 1, record 20, English, - sublimation%20rate

A number of design approaches were taken to control the sheet flutter problem, including changes in the pocket geometry and the use of air doctors to divert the more damaging air currents. However, the most widely utilized stratagem on existing machines was to switch to a single-felt configuration for the first dryer section where the sheet is most prone toward wrinkling. In the so-called serpentine felt run, the bottom felt is eliminated and the top felt follows the sheet and wraps both the top and bottom dryers. Thus, the felt supports the sheet in the draws between top and bottom dryer cylinders, but also runs between the sheet and the bottom dryer surfaces. The serpentine felt run is effective in controlling sheet flutter up to a point, but instabilities are still evident at higher speeds. Unfortunately, with this arrangement, the bottom tier of dryer cylinders becomes redundant. 1, record 30, English, - serpentine%20felt%20run

Mais la technique la plus couramment employée est l'utilisation d'un feutre «serpentin» dans la première partie de la sécherie où la feuille a le plus tendance à se déchirer et à se plisser. Dans le système serpentin on dispose un seul feutre autour des cylindres supérieur et inférieur de façon à soutenir la feuille dans les tirages entre les cylindres sécheurs. Dans la partie basse de la sécherie, le feutre se trouve entre la feuille et le cylindre sécheur.

The outer switch time recorder(OSTR) is a micro-computer-based system developed by CN Technical Research to record and report the arrival and departure of trains as they pass over a predefined point called the outer switch limit. This point is where the pay rate changes from a mileage basis to a time basis or vice-versa depending on train direction. The OSTR records the time of arrival, direction, speed, and the number of axles of every train that goes by. 1, record 47, English, - outer%20switch%20time%20recorder

A rectangular array of horizontal and vertical input or output leads with diode or correed crosspoints at the intersection, used as a means of switching from any input to any output.(SMICO, 71 : 238) In circuit switching at least, the matrix has proven to be the most difficult section to reduce to electronics partly because of the mass of contacts that is represented, but also because the best electronic device is not as good a switch point as are metallic contacts.(LEETEL, 76 : 90) 1, record 50, English, - matrix

Ensemble de m x n points de connexion individuels disposés dans une structure rectangulaire à m lignes et n colonnes et telle que la ligne de rang m et la colonne de rang n soient mises en communication par le fonctionnement du point de connexion du rang m [indice]i n [indice]i. (TECHNI, E-2875: 5) Le réseau de connexion se présente comme une suite de "N étages de mailles" séparés par "N+1 étages de matrices". (TECHI, E-2875: 5) La notion de matrice est utilisée pour décrire géométriquement la topologie du réseau de connexion, le terme "commutateur élémentaire" sera réservé au composant technologique tel que le commutateur crossbar. Dans certains systèmes ("Pentaconta") il y a presque toujours identité des deux notions, dans d'autres non (CP 400). Dans les systèmes rotatifs, la matrice correspond au groupe de sélecteurs, qu'ils soient à deux mouvements (Strowger) ou à un mouvement (R6). (TECHNI, E-2875: 6) 1, record 50, French, - matrice

Équivalent proposé par André Sénécal, traducteur à la Technique centrale. On parle de "voyant", car le dispositif en question ne saurait être autre chose qu'une lampe-témoin ou un voyant. Le terme "switch" n'a rien d'un interrupteur: il signifie tout simplement que lorsque le régime va baisser sous un point critique, un contact va s'établir, de façon que l'opérateur puisse en être averti. Quant au terme "speed", il est traduit ici par "régime" (qui s'exprime en tours/minute et s'applique à un moteur), plutôt que par "vitesse" (qui s'exprime par exemple en m/h et s'applique à des corps ou véhicules en mouvement) ou par "rotation" (qui s'exprime également en tours/minute, mais s'applique à des arbres mécaniques). Le terme "zero" en anglais ne signifie pas ici que le régime est nul, mais qu'il passe en dessous d'un niveau déterminé. 1, record 57, French, - voyant%20d%27avertissement%20de%20bas%20r%C3%A9gime
