CONT

Percutaneous Balloon Microcompression. Fluoroscopy is used to guide a 14-gauge access needle through the skin of the cheek into the entrance of the foramen ovale.... A 4. 0 french(1. 35 mm) balloon catheter is inserted through the cannula of the needle and advanced to the entrance of Meckel' s cave. The balloon, filled with approximately 0. 75-1 ml of a contrast material, is inflated to compress the gasserian ganglion and nerve root against the dura and the petrous ridge for 1 minute. The contrast material allows the position of the balloon to be verified under fluoroscopy. After deflation, the balloon and cannula are removed concurrently.

Subject field(s)
  • Computer Graphics
CONT

Seed filling is an interactive method of shading an area within any closed boundary on a raster screen. The user first draws a design using line-drawing techniques. Then areas bounded by lines and curves... are chosen for color filling. The idea is to position a cursor inside the area to be filled and instruct the computer to color-fill the area within the bounds. Color filling begins at this user-specified "seed" and spreads throughout the area.

CONT

Filter Fabric Soil Retention Test.... a laboratory test to evaluate the ability of filter fabrics to act as silt curtains or fences. The test apparatus consists of two plastic tanks... with one end of each tank being open and capable of holding the fabric to be tested in a fixed and vertical position. One tank is filled with water and given a dry weight of soil from the site of the proposed construction. After a prescribed mixing procedure the soil-water suspension is allowed to pass through the fabric separating the two tanks. Hydrometer analyses are used to evaluate the weight of soil in each tank and thereby the percent of soil passing the fabric. Head differentials allow for calculation of the velocities involved for repeated trials.

Record 11 1995-03-06

English

Subject field(s)
  • Computer Graphics
CONT

A conventional animation is created in a fairly fixed sequence : The story for the animation is written(or perhaps merely conceived), then a storyboard is laid out.... Next, the soundtrack(if any) is recorded, a detailed layout is produced(with a drawing for every scene in the animation), and the soundtrack is read-that is, the instants at which significant sounds occur are recorded in order. The detailed layout and the soundtrack are then correlated. Next, certain key frames of the animation are drawn-these are the frames in which the entities being animated are at extreme or characteristic positions, from which their intermediate position can be inferred. The intermediate frames are then filled in(this is called inbetweening), and a trial film is made(a pencil test)... Many stages of conventional animation seem ideally suited to computer assistance, especially inbetweening and coloring, which can be done using the seed-fill techniques.... Before the computer can be used, however, the drawings must be digitized. This can be done by using optical scanning, by tracing the drawings with a data tablet, or by producing the original drawings with a drawing program in the first place. The drawings may need to be postprocessed(e. g., filtered) to clean up any glitches arising from the input process(especially optical scanning), and to smooth the contours somewhat. The composition stage, in which foreground and background figures are combined to generate the individual frames for the final animation, can be done with the image-composition techniques....

Subject field(s)
  • Blasting Work (Mining)
DEF

A length of safety fuse with the cap or detonator crimped on before it is taken to the place of use.

CONT

[The plain detonator] consists of an aluminum tube closed at one end and partly filled with a sensitive initiating explosive. The tube is only partially filled because a plain detonator is always used in conjunction with a safety fuse, and the empty space enables the fuse to be inserted into the tube until it comes into contact with the detonating composition. The safety fuse is then secured in position by indenting the detonator tube, this process being known as crimping. The combination of safety fuse and plain detonator is called a capped fuse.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Travail aux explosifs (Exploitation minière)
CONT

Le détonateur à capsule (...) allumé à la mèche de sécurité, consiste en un cylindre de cuivre ou d'aluminium, long de 1 1/4" à 1 7/8" et d'un diamètre de 1/4" rempli au tiers de sa longueur de fulminate de mercure ou d'un mélange contenant du chlorate de potassium. L'espace vide de la capsule est destiné à l'insertion de la mèche de sécurité. L'allumage du fulminate produit un choc amplement suffisant pour "détoner" la charge explosive. Pour placer la mèche dans la capsule, on se sert d'une pince spéciale à sertir (crimper), de manière à obtenir un serrage suffisant pour maintenir la mèche dans la position requise.

  • Scientific Instruments

  • Boring and Drilling (Mines)
DEF

A borehole-surveying device consisting of a gimbal-mounted open frame, rigidly enclosing a graduated circle inside of which is a gimbal-mounted compass. This assemblage, inserted in a glass tube filled with a melted gelatin mixture is placed inside a tightly sealed brass tube or clinometer. When the tube is lowered into, and suspended at a point in a borehole for a sufficient length of time to allow the gelatin to set or jell, the position of the gimbal parts becomes fixed in the solidified gelatin, thereby providing a means whereby the compass course and inclination of the borehole at a specific point may be determined.

La Carlson Compass (...) est d'un principe analogue [à celui du Tro-Pari], mais la boussole est immergée dans un liquide à base de gélatine qui se gélifie au bout d'un temps donné. Les températures élevées empêchent le fonctionnement normal de cet appareil. Pour éviter la perturbation du champ magnétique provoquée par l'acier des tiges, ces instruments sont en bronze et sont fixés à des tiges de cuivre ou d'aluminium d'une dizaine de mètres de longueur.
