In the history of firearms, it is used principally to denote the instrument required to prepare for firing any discharge mechanism of the wheel lock type. In its simplest form, it consists of a handle terminating in a steel plate pierced with a square hole. This hole fits on the squared arbor of the wheel. When the handle is moved, the wheel rotates against the pull of the mainspring, until it is caught by the sear mechanism, and held until released by the trigger.

  • Cranes (Hoisting and Lifting)
CONT

A boom derrick is a lifting device that incorporates the advantages of a gin pole and the long horizontal reach of a boom. Use the boom derrick to lift and swing medium-size loads in a 90-degree arc on either side of the resting position of the boom, for a total swing of 180 degrees. When employing a boom derrick in lifting heavy loads, set it on a turn plate or turn wheel to allow the mast and boom to swing as a unit. A mast is a gin pole used with a boom. The mast can swing more than 180 degrees when it is set on a turn plate or turn wheel.

Subject field(s)
  • Optics
  • Scientific Research Equipment
OBS

The Molecular Dynamics Sarastro 2000 has a simple light path that makes it ideal for conversion to a 2-photon scope. We retained the ability to use the microscope in the 1-photon, confocal mode by replacing mirror 2 with a beamsplitter that passes IR from the Mira 900 or reflects visible excitation from the on-board 25 mW argon-ion laser. Mirror 3 and the two scanning mirrors were replaced with broad-band mirrors for better IR throughput. We installed a plate that blocks the IR laser beam whenever the lid is opened to change filters, for safety. That is it--No more modifications necessary! To use in the 2-Photon mode, the on-board laser is turned off, the Mira 900 IR laser is turned on, the primary dichroic wheel is rotated to a 680 SP(Chroma) mirror, and the excitation filter and aperture wheels are rotated to the "open" settings. To improve rejection of excitation light, a barrier filter(680 SP, Chroma) is used in the detector housing.

French

Domaine(s)

  • Matériel et équipement (Recherche scientifique)
OBS

Deux photons peuvent combiner leurs énergies pour provoquer le passage vers un état excité plus élevé du fluorochrome [Gu and Sheppard 1995], (références, exemple de transformation d'un confocal pour (l'imagerie 2-photons): deux photons situés dans le Rouge peuvent exciter un fluorochrome dont la gamme d'onde correspond aux UV. Les dommages opérés généralement par les rayons UV sont donc évités. En outre, cette technique minimise le phénomène d'évanescence (photobleaching) de la sonde et autorise une meilleure pénétration dans le tissu. Enfin, les dommages du laser sont très réduits dans le cas de l'imagerie multi-photons en raison d'une faible émission du signal laser au niveau des plans non focaux.

OBS

Caractéristique du microscope confocal.

Subject field(s)
  • Biotechnology
CONT

In the case of the high-speed colony picker, the machinery consists of two tables capable of computer-controlled movement positioned underneath a pair of plungers with a rotating carousel wheel in between that is fitted with 24 reusable needles. To operate the system, a Petri dish containing colonies of yeast or bacteria is placed on one table, and a 96-well microtiter plate is placed on the other. Guided by a digital image that shows the location of colonies in the dish, the first table moves a colony directly underneath a plunger which at the same time is being armed with a needle from the carousel. On a signal from a computer, the plunger dips the needle into the colony and immediately retracts it with "picked" cells. The carousel then rotates the needle over to the second plunger and the table bearing the microtiter plate moves until the correct well is directly underneath it. The computer activates the second plunger, dipping the needle into the growth medium where some of the cells will be deposited. After retraction from the growth medium, the needle is rotated by the carousel through a tank filled with sterilizing liquid and made ready for reuse.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Biotechnologie
CONT

Seule la sociéte Hybrid a développé un appareil pour le repiquage automatique des colonies, le Colony Picker. Doté d'un système optique sophistiqué couplé à un bras multiaxe, il repique les plages de lyse ou les colonies bactériennes des boîtes de Pétri et les distribue dans un milieu pour la culture cellulaire. Sa très forte capacité permet d'augmenter très sensiblement la cadence dans les laboratoires de séquençage.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Resistance Welding
  • Packaging in Metal
CONT

Welded cans are manufactured by one of two methods, wheel or wire welding. Both are variations of a forge-welding process.... Wire welding can accommodate the use of tin plate while wheel welding is best suited for tin-free steel, TFS. When using TFS, both methods require grinders to clean the edges to be welded so that they are free of oxides and chrome surface materials. Prior to side seam welding, the body blanks are formed into cylinders and tack-welded to maintain shape and proper relationship of the edges to each other.... Welded seams are used extensively for three-piece beverage, aerosol and food cans.

OBS

The wire weld system has been developed by Soudronic A.G. Switzerland.
