A form of resistance training, suspension training is a type of bodyweight exercise in which a variety of multi-joint and multi-direction movements can be performed. Suspension training is an approach to fitness that uses a system of adjustable straps with handles called a "suspension trainer." The suspension trainer is anchored to a point above head level allowing the user to move and work against their own body weight. 1, record 2, English, - suspension%20training

Pièce de mobilier urbain privilégiée par sa fonction et très utilisée, le banc permet une variété infinie de formes et d’intégrations. Aucune règle ne régit sévèrement la conception d’un banc, si ce n’ est la hauteur, qui doit varier de 700 mm à 760 mm, et l'inclinaison du dossier, préférablement entre 9 et 12 °. Pour le siège, on utilise surtout les surfaces en bois, car ce matériau semble régulariser les températures. La mobilité d’un banc ou sa permanence dépendront de la nature des lieux(en fonction du vandalisme), du poids du module, des possibilités de remisage durant l'hiver ou de son intégration au style ou à d’autres éléments. 2, record 3, French, - banc

From the milling separator, the grain passes to a gravity separator. This machine separates materials that may be similar in shape and size but that differ in specific gravity, such as wheat and small stones. Uncleaned wheat is "floated" on a metal screen which is oscillating rapidly. The grain moves down the sloping screen to the outlet while the stones are propelled toward the head of the screen by the oscillating movement, and collected separately. Although only a very small percentage of stones may be present, their removal is important since they cause extensive damage to processing machinery. Also, if they are ground along with the wheat, the undesirable fine mineral matter will end up in the flour. 1, record 6, English, - metal%20screen

Tandis que le grain suit l'inclinaison du tamis, les pierres sont projetées vers la tête de celui-ci par le mouvement oscillant et elles sont recueillies séparément. Bien qu'il n’ y ait que très peu de ces pierres, leur suppression est importante en raison des dommages importants qu'elles causeraient aux machines de meunerie.
