English

Subject field(s)
  • Space Exploration Equipment and Tools
  • Collaboration with WIPO
CONT

This disclosure relates to a spacesuit and vehicle port interface(suitport) used in subject ingress and egress relative to the spaceport.... The suitport concept has evolved from concepts for rear entry space suits donned in conventional airlocks. As a result, existing rear-entry suit systems carry all the mechanisms needed to draw the "backpack" portable life support system(PLSS) to the upper torso of the pressure suit and all the levers, cams, and associated hardware used to secure the backpack to the suit to obtain a robust attachment and pressure seal.

Subject field(s)
  • Taps and Plumbing Accessories
  • Aircraft Systems
DEF

A valve which controls pressure, volume, or flow direction in a fluid transmission system.

CONT

Pneumatic systems are often compared to hydraulic systems, but such comparisons can only hold true in general terms.... Control valves are... a necessary part of a typical pneumatic system.... The control valve consists of a lever with two lobes. [In the off position], a spring holds the left poppet closed so that compressed air entering the pressure port cannot flow to the brakes. [In the on position], one lobe of the lever holds the left poppet open and a spring closes the right poppet. Compressed air now flows around the opened left poppet, through a drilled passage, and into a chamber below the right poppet. Since the right poppet is closed, the high-pressure air flows out of the brake port and into the brake line to apply the brakes. To release the brakes, the control valve is returned to the off position.

Record 5 2008-05-05

English

Subject field(s)
  • Aircraft Systems
  • Helicopters (Military)
CONT

The fire extinguishing equipment for an airliner such as the Douglas DC-10 incorporates three systems with six pressurized agent containers, two for each engine. The containers for the wing-mounted engines are located in pairs in the leading edge of the wing between the nacelle and the fuselage on each side of the aircraft.... The discharge cartridge is an electrically fired explosive unit that provides force to rupture the disk seal in the outlet port of the container and release the extinguishing agent to the deployment lines. One discharge cartridge is installed on each wing-mounted container and two are installed on the aft-engine container. The discharge cartridge contains two squibs(explosive charges) that are fired by an electric circuit that heats the powder to the ignition point. When the fire extinguisher control handle is pulled down, the electric circuit is closed and the squibs are fired. The force of the explosion ruptures the disk seal, thus releasing the extinguishing agent. A screen in the discharge head prevents particles of the disk from entering the deployment line.

OBS

This system is specific to the McDonnell Douglas Corporation aircraft (DC-9, DC-10).

OBS

fire control handle : term officially approved by the Aeronautical Terminology Standardization Committee (ATSC) - Helicopters.

Record 8 1999-04-23

English

Subject field(s)
  • Analytical Chemistry
DEF

A device by means of which a liquid or gaseous sample is introduced directly into the chromatographic column or is swept into the column by the mobile phase.

CONT

An injection port is necessary in all g. c. [gas chromatography] and h. p. l. c. [high-performance liquid chromatography] systems in which syringe injection is employed. The injection port joins the top of the column to the mobile phase supply line, and has a third outlet through a small orifice covered by a self-sealing septum. Injection of samples is done by inserting the hypodermic syringe containing the sample through this septum so that the point of the needle is immediately above the head of the column. Design of the injection port must be such that it can be maintained at a uniform temperature and will possess a very small dead volume.

Key term(s)
  • sample injector
  • sample port

French

Domaine(s)
  • Chimie analytique
CONT

Chambre d'injection pour liquides ou solutions. C'est le système le plus utilisé [...] le gaz porteur, de préférence préchauffé, entre dans une chambre chauffée, obturée par une pastille d'élastomère, le septum, qui assure l'étanchéité. À l'aide d'une seringue hypodermique de petite capacité, on pique au travers de la membrane, de telle manière que l'extrémité de l'aiguille arrive au-dessous du niveau de l'arrivée du gaz porteur, puis on pousse le piston pour réaliser l'injection. La condition demandée à la chambre d'injection est d'avoir un volume interne aussi petit que possible, pour limiter les volumes morts de l'appareil. Pour assurer la vaporisation instantanée de l'échantillon, l'injecteur est habituellement maintenu à une température au moins 30 °C plus élevée que celle du four contenant la colonne.

OBS

L'injecteur à liquides classiques comprend: un écrou à ailettes pour serrage et refroidissement du septum, le septum, le bloc chauffé, la chambre de vaporisation, le capillaire de préchauffage, le raccord de colonne.
