Record 6 2001-05-17

English

Subject field(s)
  • Grain Growing
CONT

Two basic grain grading systems are in use throughout the world: the fair average quality system and the numerical system. The numerical system is the more common system. It separates grain into divisions of quality defined by grading factors. Each division is identified by a grade name or number and grain is bought and sold on the basis of these grades. Buyers obtain the specific quality desired by selecting the grain by grade name and number. In some grading systems, such as Canada's, a certificate of grade is acceptable to an importer, and no additional samples are required as evidence of quality. In other systems, importers demand additional safeguards, such as a sample, together with analytical details of the actual grain being shipped.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Culture des céréales
CONT

Il existe deux méthodes principales d'agréage : la méthode de la bonne qualité moyenne et la méthode numérique. La méthode numérique est la plus répandue. Elle divise le grain d'après sa qualité, définie par certains facteurs d'agréage. Chaque division reçoit une appellation ou un numéro de grade qui sert de base dans les transactions. Les acquéreurs achètent la qualité particulière qu'ils désirent d'après l'appellation ou le numéro de grade. Dans certains systèmes d'agréage, comme celui du Canada, l'importateur se contente d'un certificat d'agréage, sans recourir à des échantillons supplémentaires comme preuve de qualité. Ailleurs, les importateurs exigeront des garanties supplémentaires telles qu'un échantillon avec analyse détaillée du grain expédié.

Record 10 1987-10-02

English

Subject field(s)
  • Automatic Control (Machine Tools)
CONT

The closed loop system is similar to the open loop system with the exception that a feedback unit is introduced in the electrical circuit. This feedback unit, generally called a transducer, compares the amount the machine table has been moved by the servo motor with the signal sent by the control unit. The control unit instructs the servo motor to make whatever adjustments are necessary until both the signal from the control unit and the one from the servo unit are equal.... Closed loop numerical control systems are very accurate because the accuracy of the command signal is recorded and there is an automatic compensation for error.
