Record 1 2023-03-17

English

Subject field(s)
  • Collaboration with the FAO
  • Commercial Fishing
DEF

... the movement of fish off a fishing vessel ...

CONT

Electrical/hydraulic derricks and hoists are recommended for the lifting of boxes from the fishroom and transferring them ashore. In many instances[, ] the [fishing vessel' s] own gear is adequate and shore-based equipment unnecessary. The unloading of larger tubs may require more substantial cranage and the use of spreaders. Hoists should have good line-speed control to prevent the "jumping" of boxes and the spillage of fish.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Occupation Names (General)
  • Geophysics
  • Geological Research and Exploration
  • Seismic Prospecting
DEF

The member of a seismograph crew who attends to the placement of the geophones.

CONT

Seismic Line Crew Helper. As a Line Crew Helper, Andre lays out and picks up seismic recording equipment for 2D and 3D land seismic data acquisition.

CONT

... the [seismic exploration] industry needs chainsaw buckers to help clear a path in forested areas, survey helpers to mark where the explosives and vibrators need to go, driller helpers to handle the explosives and help drill the shot hole for the explosives, and line crew helpers to lay the cable and sensors that will record the data. ... With as many as fifty line crew helpers needed on a crew, these juggies are the muscle on the team. Line crew helpers are often called recorder helpers because much of their work involves laying the electronic equipment and wires that record sounds coming from underground.

CONT

Helpers are inexperienced people in training positions on seismic crews. After they gain skills and experience, helpers may move to other positions on a crew. Recording helpers, often called jug hustlers, assist seismic observers. In preparation for recording activities, observers may require as many as twenty or more helpers to haul cables, geophones and other recording equipment, and place and connect recording equipment.

CONT

A Line Crew/Recorder Helper/is responsible for the laying out and picking up of seismic recording equipment for the purposes of both 2D and 3D land seismic data acquisition. In preparation for recording activities, there may be as many as fifty or more helpers to lay out cables and plant geophones. The position involves working twelve to fourteen hours per day, walking six to 20 km on uneven terrain, carrying cables and geophones for pick-up or layout(up to 90lbs) ensuring quality control on lay-out and pick-up, participating actively in all company safety initiatives, following all helicopter safety protocol, and loading and unloading of seismic equipment from seismic line vehicles or helibags.

OBS

jug hustler; juggy: slang terms. The term «jug» is a synonym of «geophone».

Subject field(s)
  • Grain Growing
  • Rail Transport
  • Transport of Goods
  • Rail Traffic Control
CONT

The unloading process commences when cars are spotted on tracks leading to a terminal' s trackshed.... The car is spotted over the unload position in the trackshed by a winch(cable carhaul), or by a shunt engine. It is then unloaded. The grain flows into the unloading pit where it remains until communication is received from the scale floor to indicate that the appropriate garner is empty. Communication between trackshed and scale floor can be carried out in a number of ways including a simple voice tube, telephone system or signal light system. Remote control systems are also used.

French

  • Culture des céréales
  • Transport par rail
  • Transport de marchandises

CONT

Le processus de déchargement commence au moment où les wagons sont placés sur les embranchements conduisant au hangar ferroviaire du silo. [...] Chaque wagon est placé en position de déchargement dans le hangar ferroviaire à l'aide d'un treuil (câble de halage de wagons) ou par une locomotive de manœuvre. Le déchargement s'effectue ensuite. Le grain déversé dans la fosse y reste jusqu'à ce que le préposé à la bascule signale que la trémie de réception appropriée est libre. Les communications s'effectuent par tube acoustique, par téléphone ou par signaux lumineux. On utilise également des systèmes de télécommande.

Record 4 2011-06-20

English

Subject field(s)
  • Hoisting and Lifting
CONT

Stowage in a open rack location is carried out automatically by a rack servicing stacker. Retrieval is accomplished by entering the pallet number and unloading station for the desired material at the control console. By then pressing the "Start" button, the pallet is automatically extracted by the stacker, transported to the unloading station chosen and placed on the trestle. These automated sheet stock rack systems can be designed as dual-row layouts but also as a simpler design with a stationary stacker as well as single or dual-row towers.

... we have applied the Contour Adducted Trochanteric-Control Alignment Method(CAT-CAM) prosthetic concept to the fabrication of the unloading component of the Knee-Ankle-Foot Orthosis. This orthosis, with the addition of a silesian belt, proved to be very effective in providing the much needed proximal medial-lateral control.

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

Three Axis Magnetometer [-] TAM... Redundant TAMs are provided to sense the local strength and direction of the Earth's magnetic field. Each TAM consists of a sensor and a separately packaged electronics unit. The analog outputs provided by the TAM allow for sensing magnetic field data in three orthogonal axes. TAM-Operation Once the TAM is powered there will be no ground interactions necessary. The TAM data is used by the FSW ACS [Flight Software Attitude Control Subsystem routine to determine the local magnetic field when reaction wheel momentum unloading is deemed necessary via the magnetic torque rods [Landsat].
