BLAST [7 records]

Record 1 2021-12-20

English

Subject field(s)
  • Bombs and Grenades
OBS

The grenade body is designed to split along 4 grooves on detonation, instantly ejecting the OC [oleoresin capsicum] powder load, and eliminating the possibility of throwback.

OBS

This device is most effective and useful for indoor deployments when fire may be a threat from secondary fire hazards. This round does not have the heat related issues that traditional pyrotechnic tear gas has associated with it.

Record 2 2012-03-15

English

Subject field(s)
  • Freezing and Refrigerating
  • Food Industries
DEF

[The] freezing of produce in a high velocity air stream.

CONT

Samples are jet frozen under pressure between two metal sample hats or planchettes. In operation, specimens are subjected to a pressure of 2100 bar for a few milliseconds followed by jet freezing with liquid nitrogen under the same pressure. The water of the sample is vitrified under this regime and ice-crystals are retarded, thereby avoiding structural damage to the specimen by ice-crystal formation. Cryoprotectants may not be required, thus eliminating the possibility of induced artifacts.

  • Industrie de l'alimentation
DEF

Congélation par soufflage d’air froid à grande vitesse sur les produits.

Record 4 1999-08-26

English

Subject field(s)
  • Underground Mining
  • Ore Extraction and Transport
CONT

The tonnage produced by a single blast depends on the face area and does not compare to that yielded by the overhand stope blast. However, the output of trackless equipment is vastly superior to the manual method, while roof control can be accomplished by the drill jumbo which drills smooth-blast holes together with the stope blast.

Key term(s)
  • smooth blast hole
  • smooth blasthole
  • smooth blast-hole
  • smooth shot hole
  • smooth shot-hole
  • smooth shothole

  • perimeter shot hole
  • perimeter shot-hole

  • perimeter blasting hole
  • perimeter mining hole
