Le miroir parabolique : la surface est un paraboloïde de révolution autour de l'axe principal. Si la source lumineuse est sensiblement un point au foyer du paraboloïde, le faisceau réfléchi est un faisceau cylindrique. Les réflecteurs de phares de marine ou d’automobiles sont souvent des miroirs paraboliques. Le miroir parabolique étant stigmatique pour le point à l'infini(son image est au foyer du paraboloïde), on l'utilise comme objectif dans certains télescopes. 2, record 1, French, - parabolo%C3%AFde

En géométrie, il existe trois types de paraboloïdes : hyperbolique, elliptique et celui de révolution, qui est obtenu par la rotation d’une parabole autour de son axe. Dans le domaine de l’optique, le miroir parabolique a la forme d’un paraboloïde de révolution. S’il s’agit de décrire la forme d’un miroir, l’emploi du terme paraboloïde sous-entend paraboloïde de révolution, soit de forme concave. (sphérique) 3, record 1, French, - parabolo%C3%AFde

Aqueous Film-Forming Foaming Agents (AFFF). Aqueous film-forming foam agents are composed of synthetically produced materials that form air foams similar to those produced by the protein-based materials. In addition, these foaming agents are capable of forming water solution films on the surface of flammable liquids, hence the term "aqueous film-forming foam" (AFFF). 8, record 2, English, - aqueous%20film%2Dforming%20foam

While a number of different types of foam are commercially available for fighting chemical fires, only two types of foam are considered in this book: "ordinary" foam, such as AFFF or protein foam and "alcohol" foam, i.e., alcohol resistant foam.

The dutch oven is essentially a refractory lined combustion furnace which is attached to the package boiler. The dutch oven, up until a short time ago, was one of the most common methods of burning bark. The dutch oven is still used in certain cases when large quantities of bark are to be burned, when the moisture content is very high, and when the fuel has not been hogged to the normal size required for a grate. In the dutch oven configuration, fuel is introduced through the roof of the dutch oven and forms a conical pile which burns on the surface and around the edges. 1, record 19, English, - dutch%20oven
