When two electrical conductors are connected, an electrical resistance forms at the transition point between the two conductors. This resistance depends on the contact size and state of the surface. Since surfaces are never flat in microscopic measure, contact only takes place at the highest point. If one considers that the contact point is made by conductor metal on conductor metal, it is valid, as for all resistance, that the value is determined by specific resistance, the surface through which the current rate flows and the height of the "contact peaks. "The greater the amount of contact point surfaces there are, the lower the resulting resistance and consequently the greater is the capacity which the contact points can transmit. The conductors must be firmly pressed together so that the distance, the height of the "contact peaks" is as small as possible and the contact area as large as possible. 2, record 5, English, - transition%20resistance

RAGA January 1981, 61. Track Circuit Conductor Retainer Clip : Bootleg and crossbonds often become damaged due to the track circuit conductor becoming dislodged from the rail and moving into the path of passing trains. To prevent this, a retaining clip has been developed which holds the track circuit conductor against the contour of the rail. Called a track circuit retainer, the clip will fit most sizes of rail and will accommodate either 4-76 mm bare or insulated strand, or 7-94 mm bare bond strand. It can be used with welded and plug bonds attached to the rail heads or webs. The clip comprises two strips of metal joined by two semi-circular holders through which the conductor passes. The clip is located under the rail and bent round to the opposite side, so that there is a holder above and below the rail bottom, so keeping the conductor in place. 1, record 8, English, - track%20circuit%20retainer

Since September last year, Dean College of Franklin, Mass., in cooperation with the Massachusetts Transit Authority, has offered continuing education courses that cover marketing and management as well as the 60 Km between Franklin and Boston. With the aid of a microphone and portable sound system, a business instructor from Dean College delivers a 50-minute lecture two or three times a week from the last car of the commuter train, pausing only for the conductor to shout out the name of each upcoming stop. The commuter courses cost US$ 330 each, can be applied toward a two-year associate of science degree and are especially popular with administrative assistants and executive secretaires seeking to improve their stations in life(En Route, Air Canada in-flight magazine, june 1994, p. 15). 1, record 15, English, - commuter%20course

En anglais, splice a un sens générique et un sens particulier. Le premier désigne [le résultat de] la jonction de deux conducteurs par entrelacement : c'est [l'] épissure. Il est probable qu'à l'origine toutes les jonctions se faisaient par entrelacement, ce qui expliquerait le dédoublement du sens de splice avec l'évolution de la réalité technique. En français, par contre, épissure a gardé son sens précis; lorsqu'un joint est exécuté au moyen d'une pièce appelée raccord (à compression, à braser, à sertir, etc.), ce qui est maintenant le cas le plus répandu, il ne convient guère de parler d'épissure. 1, record 16, French, - joint

A geotextile can be applied in a drainage function because of its ability to filter selectively and to keep two media, grains and water, apart .... In the drainage process there is a division of functions within the construction into: the water-discharge element, and the surrounding element which is permeable and separates the water-discharge element from the surrounding granular material. 3, record 17, English, - drainage%20function

Hydraulic properties of geotextiles are those that relate directly to filtration and drainage functions of geotextiles.

La diversité d'emploi des géotextiles dans les ouvrages de génie civil montre que ces derniers sont en mesure d'assurer plusieurs fonctions non seulement durant la phase de fonctionnement de l'ouvrage, mais également pendant la phase de construction. On recense deux rôles majeurs : le rôle hydraulique, le rôle mécanique. Dans le rôle hydraulique, on citera : la fonction drain où le géotextile collecte, transporte et évacue les eaux de surface et souterraines; la fonction filtre où le géotextile présente quelques similitudes avec la fonction séparation, mais aborde cet aspect du problème uniquement sur le plan hydraulique. 1, record 17, French, - fonction%20drain
