Many screw designs have been utilized over the years for the various extrusion processes and materials.... The best-known screws can be loosely separated into two categories-conventional screws and barrier screws. Conventional screws usually are single flighted designs with the flight lead(or flight pitch) equal to the screw's nominal diameter. This type is termed a square-pitched screw, and when no mixing devices are present, it usually is referred to as a metering screw.

CONT

The two basic approaches are used: the single metering or compression screw ...; and the barrier flight screw.

CONT

Skin slides or flows are surficial debris movements on rocky slopes. They occur in the thin mineral soil veneer and the organic cover on relatively steep slopes (>35°).

CONT

On less steep tundra slopes, ice-rich permafrost is commonly insulated from thaw by stable, vegetated regolith. If sudden slippage of regolith occurs, exposure of the permafrost may lead to seasonal retrogression or failure. Alternatively, deeper penetration of thaw into the permafrost itself may induce rapid slippage in which the surface regolith is passively rafted away by failure of the thawed, ice-rich material below.... Such rapid failure of the active layer are commonly referred to as skin flows.

Subject field(s)
  • Audio Technology
DEF

The changing of phase of a signal as it passes through a filter.

OBS

A delay in time of the signal is referred to as phase lag and in normal networks, phase lag increases with frequency, producing a positive envelope delay... It is possible for an output signal to experience a time shift ahead of the input signal and this is called "phase lead. "The phase shift is always dependent on frequency.

St. Stephen's Day in Hungary is observed on August 20, the day on which the allegedly sacred relics of Stephen I of Hungary were transferred to the city of Buda. This day is the ultimate public holiday in Hungary. Stephen I, or "Stephanus" as he was named in Latin by Pope Sylvester II, was originally a pagan chieftain's son answering to the name "Vajk". He gouged out the eyes and poured boiling lead into the ears of his arch rival(Vasoly) and was awarded a crown by the pope for forcing catholicism onto the Hungarian people. The converted king was canonized by Pope Gregory VII in AD 1083 and has since been referred to as St Stephen of Hungary. Under communism St. Stephen's Day was referred to by the Hungarians as "The celebration of the new bread-the end of the harvest".

CONT

12-lead electrocardiogram. When an electrocardiogram is completed, several wires, or "leads", are usually attached to the arms, legs and chest. This is referred to as a "12 lead ECG". This allows a doctor to take 12 different recordings at the same time. Each lead records the same electrical impulse, but from a different position in relation to the heart.

CONT

An EKG (also called ECG) is one of the simplest and fastest procedures used to evaluate the heart. ... Each lead of the 12 lead EKG is "looking" at a specific part of the heart from different angles.

  • Gold and Silver Mining
OBS

The descriptive mineralogical terms quartz-(kaolinite)-alunite (QAL) and adularia-sericite (ADS) are preferred here, although the ... deposits have been variously termed "high-sulphur" (Bonham, 1988), "acid-sulphate" (Heald et al., 1987), "high-sulphidation" (Hedenquist, 1987), or kaolinite alunite (Berger and Henley, 1989) deposits. ... the [high sulphur] or [high sulphidation] terminology (not to be confused with high sulphide contents) can be misleading ...

OBS

Copper and the other base metals, lead and zinc, may also occur with gold, especially in deposits with high silver grades. Indeed, quartz-(kaolinite)-alunite-subtype deposits are sometimes referred to as enargite-gold deposits(Ashley, 1982).

Key term(s)

Nous préférons utiliser les expressions minéralogiques descriptives quartz-(kaolinite)-alunite et adulaire-séricite, même si les gîtes de la première variété ont été désignés par diverses autres expressions, par exemple «gîtes à forte teneur en soufre» (Bonham, 1988), «gîtes à altération acido-sulfatée» (Heald et al., 1987), «gîtes à fort degré de sulfuration» (Hedenquist, 1987), ou gîtes à kaolinite-alunite (Berger et Henley, 1989). [Les termes] «forte teneur en soufre« ou «fort degré de sulfuration» (qu'il ne faut pas confondre avec [...] forte concentration de sulfures) [peut] être déroutante [...]

OBS

On peut [...] trouver associées à l'or, surtout dans les gisements dont la teneur en argent est élevée, des concentrations de cuivre et d'autres métaux communs (plomb et zinc). En fait, on appelle parfois les gîtes à quartz-(kaolinite)-alunite des gîtes d'énargite-or (Ashley, 1982).

The buckwheat flower has no petals-the sexual parts, the ovary, three styles and eight stamens being enclosed in the petallike sepas. Four of the anthers bend out but turn their pollen inward. The other four turn their pollen outward(Knuth 1909, pp. 341-342). Some plants have flowers, referred to as the "thrum" type, with short styles and long filaments so the stamens extend above the styles. Other flowers, referred to as "pin" types, have long styles and short filaments so the stigma is avobe the anthers. Occasionally, the styles and stamens are at the same height. The long stamens and filaments are fully 3 mm; the shorter ones, about 2 mm. Although each plant bears flowers of only one form, the seeds from either form will produce plants having the dimorphic forms in about equal numbers. The thress styles lead to a single ovary with one ovule, so a flower can produce only one seed, which is about one-quarter inch long.

Conventional screws usually are single flighted designs with the flight lead(or flight pitch) equal to the screw's nominal diameter. This type is termed a square-pitched screw, and when no mixing devices are present, it usually is referred to as a metering screw. Barrier screws are seen in many design configurations used in the extrusion industry, depending upon the designer. These screws have a second flight, which acts as a melt/solid separator designed to enhance output stability and allow higher usable output performance levels.

La vis Maillefer consiste en deux canaux séparés, constitués par deux filets de vis de pas différents, se succédant le long de la vis avec une zone de chevauchement des deux filets. Le filet supplémentaire, dont le pas est tel qu'il correspond à un tour de moins que le filet principal sur la longueur de la zone de compression, balaie dans cette zone la largeur du canal, définissant deux canaux de largeur variable. En fait la position du filet supplémentaire correspond à celle que prendrait la frontière entre solide et liquide du processus de plastification par l'arrière du filet. On peut alors constater que le solide reste contenu dans le filet principal et que le liquide s'accumule dans le filet secondaire situé en arrière. Tout se passe comme si le filet supplémentaire était une frontière forcée entre le lit solide et la poche de matière fondue. Ainsi les deux états de la matière sont parfaitement séparés, ce qui permet d'éviter la pollution de la poche liquide par des fragments de solide.
