Eskimo: term once given to Inuit by European explorers and is now rarely used in Canada. It is derived from an Algonquin term meaning "raw meat eaters," and many people find the term offensive.

«Qimmiit» est le pluriel de «qimmiq», le nom inuit donné au chien inuit canadien(Canis familiaris borealis), un type particulier de husky qui est considéré comme étant la race la plus ancienne et la plus rare des chiens de race indigène de l'Amérique du Nord. 1, record 2, French, - chien%20inuit%20canadien

Esquimau : Les explorateurs européens avaient donné aux Inuits l’appellation Esquimau. Ce terme, rarement utilisé au Canada, provient d’un nom algonquin qui signifie «mangeur de viande crue». Bon nombre de personnes jugent ce terme péjoratif. Cependant, ce mot (sous sa forme anglaise Eskimo) est encore utilisé aux États-Unis pour désigner les Inuits qui vivent en Alaska. À noter que ce terme s’accorde en genre et en nombre : Esquimaude, Esquimaudes et Esquimaux. 3, record 2, French, - chien%20inuit%20canadien

Within EROC [expedient route opening capability], the role of the Buffalo is to uncover mines and IEDs [improvised explosive devices] (disarming or detonating them if possible). Key to the role is the Buffalo's distinctive manipulator arm, an extensible crane tipped with a tined claw dubbed 'spork.' The manipulator arm and 'spork' are remotely-controlled from the relative safety of the armour cab – a camera and light are mounted on the arm giving the operator a close-up view on his monitor of any suspected IED. 2, record 3, English, - manipulator%20arm

Thixomolded parts, like molded plastic parts, are finished right out of the mold. Compounding, debinding, and sintering steps are not required, as they are in PIM [plastic injection molding]. And, unlike PIM, Thixomolding can be used to mold much bigger IMMC parts, using much bigger molding machines, such as those over 500 tons. Thixomolding is used to mold net-shape parts out of metal alloys that are traditionally used in die-casting metal alloys like magnesium. In many regards, this IMMC process is very similar to the single-step plastics injection molding process. Still, there are differences in the Thixomolding machines, as well as in the Thixomolding materials. 2, record 5, English, - Thixomolding%C2%AE

Chrysler est fier d’annoncer que le thixomoulage d’aluminium lui permet de réaliser les bras de suspension et de direction de son Prowler en bénéficiant d’un substantiel gain de poids. Les techniques d’injection sous forte pression de lingots semi-solides se rapprochent finalement beaucoup de l’injection thermoplastique, et permettent à l’aluminium de s’immiscer dans les liaisons au sol tout en réalisant des pièces à la géométrie optimisée à un prix raisonnable. 3, record 5, French, - Thixomolding%C2%AE
