DEF

A cylindrical fishing tool having an upward-tapered inside surface provided with hardened threads.

CONT

When slipped over the upper end of lost, cylindrical, downhole drilling equipment and turned, the threaded inside surface of the bell tap cuts into and grips the outside surface of the lost equipment.

CONT

The die collar is made up on the drill pipe and lowered into the hole until it contacts the lost pipe. Rotation of the die collar on top of the pipe causes it to cut threads on the outside of the pipe, forming a firm attachment. Then the pipe is retrieved from the hole.

[...] La cloche et le taraud [...] sont tout simplement constitués par un cône très allongé (femelle pour la cloche, mâle pour le taraud), en acier extrêmement dur, comportant des filets triangulaires très minces et à pas très faible. Des rainures disposées suivant les génératrices du cône permettent le dégagement des copeaux d'acier produits au moment de la prise de l'appareil. Ce sont ces rainures qui empêchent le rétablissement d'une circulation correcte.

Subject field(s)
  • Fences and Enclosures
  • Radioelectricity
CONT

Radio Fence is an underground electrical barrier which works with a receiver on your dog's collar. It beeps your dog when he nears the boundary and gives him a small electrical correction if he tries to cross it. It keeps your dog safe... Radio Fence acts as a hidden barrier that gives your dog access to the whole yard but inhibits his movements into unwanted areas.... A crystal-tuned transmitter plugs into a standard outlet and emits a radio signal that travels along an underground wire [which is] buried an inch or two [below the surface. ] The four-ounce receiver, worn on your pet's existing collar, picks up the radio signal and alerts him as he nears the hidden boundary that you have customized for your yard. If he crosses the boundary, he will receive a small electrical correction.

  • Enceintes et clôtures
  • Radioélectricité
CONT

La clôture futée «ANTI-FUGUE» est un système de clôture radio, donc invisible, qui permet de maintenir l'animal dans une limite que le maître a établie. [...] Un émetteur envoie un signal radio basse fréquence le long d'un fil qui sert d'antenne. Ce fil enterré juste sous la surface du sol (3 cm) ou posé sur une clôture existante détermine le périmètre dans lequel on souhaite limiter l'animal. Un bouton sur l'émetteur permet de régler la zone de correction de 1 à 10 m de part et d'autre du fil. Des fanions permettent de visualiser le périmètre choisi pendant l'apprentissage. Lorsque l'animal muni d'un collier récepteur s'approche de la limite fixée, il perçoit un signal d'avertissement sonore. S'il s'avance plus, il reçoit une correction similaire à une décharge d'électricité statique. Bien qu'inoffensive, cette correction le dissuade d'aller plus loin.

Record 6 1992-06-30

English

Subject field(s)
  • Landscape Architecture
CONT

Most large trees and shrubs require support staking or guying to hold them erect against buffeting winds. Wood or metal stakes are usual for single-trunked trees up to 3 inches in caliper and provide better support if used in pairs. Guy wiring with turnbuckles is used for anchoring large plant materials.... All wiring should be shielded with either rubber or plastic hosing buffers where it contacts the stems to avoid bark damage and the creation of an entryway for insects and diseases into the trunk. A wire collar should never be left in place beyond its original need, since normal stem enlargement will engulf it and permanently damage the vital interior plumbing system.

OBS

The Twistlock concept is unique and represent a major advance in locking Karabiners. Use it wherever you would use a Screwgate Karabiner, i.e. on harnesses main belays, cosmic arrester, abseiling, etc. The twistlock action gives total security at all times. You cannot forget to lock the karabiner. The revolving ferrule not only locks the karabiner at the danger points, i.e. (a) where the gate opens, (b) at the hinge pin, but ensures that the ferrule cannot revolve until the gate is closed.

OBS

Twistlock gate with nylon collar resists freezing up.

CONT

With conventional gas furnaces, little can be done to prevent losses of heated house air up the chimney when the furnace is firing. What can be prevented, though, is the loss that occurs when the furnace is not firing. A positive vent damper consists of a tight-fitting hinged damper door mounted in a steel collar and fitted into the flue pipe just before the pipe enters the chimney base. A fail-safe interlock switch prevents the furnace from firing unless the damper is completely open. This device may also be used with propane furnace.
