[The] leakage flux of a magnetic circuit [is] that part of the flux which does not flow in the main (intended) path. For example the leakage flux in a transformer is that which does not link with the secondary winding and does not therefore contribute to the secondary voltage. 2, record 1, English, - leakage%20flux

La perméabilité relative du circuit magnétique n’ a pas une valeur infinie par rapport à celle de l'air. Il en découle que tout le flux produit par la source n’ est pas entièrement canalisé dans le circuit magnétique.

A nondestructive method for detecting cracks and other discontinuities at or near the surface in ferromagnetic materials. Finely divided magnetic particles are applied to the surface of a part which has been suitably magnetized. The particles are attracted to regions of magnetic nonuniformity associated with defects and discontinuities, thus producing indications which are observed visually.... 7, record 2, English, - magnetic%20particle%20inspection

Magnetic particle testing is used for detecting surface and subsurface flaws in ferromagnetic materials ... The test is generally conducted by magnetizing the part to be inspected ... If finely divided ferromagnetic particles are applied in the vicinity of the crack, the particles will be attracted by the magnetic flux between the two poles. The visible accumulation produces a readily discernible indication on the surface of the test part. 1, record 3, English, - ferromagnetic%20particle

Distress calls is the term commonly used to describe the sounds emitted by a bird under different conditions of stress. They have also been called warning calls, agony calls, etc. .... The bird should be persuaded to give a distress call which is recorded on magnetic tape. When it is required to drive away birds of that species, the call is played back through a loudspeaker. Provided that the call is the correct one and it is played back over suitable equipment, good results can be obtained in dispersing birds by this method. 2, record 6, English, - distress%20call

On désigne couramment par cris de détresse les sons qu'un oiseau émet sous l'effet de tensions diverses. On les appelle aussi cris d’avertissement, cris d’agonie et par d’autres noms. [...] Il s’agit de forcer un oiseau à émettre un cri de détresse que l'on enregistre sur bande magnétique; lorsqu'il est nécessaire de chasser des oiseaux de la même espèce, on diffuse l'enregistrement par haut-parleur. S’ il s’agit bien d’un cri de détresse et si ce cri est rediffusé au moyen d’un équipement approprié, cette méthode de mise en fuite des oiseaux est efficace. 2, record 6, French, - cri%20de%20d%C3%A9tresse

Si(...) on fait parcourir une pièce par les lignes de force d’un champ magnétique, et que ces lignes de force rencontrent un défaut, c'est-à-dire une zone plus réluctante, elles ne vont pas le traverser, mais le contourner. Cette perturbation se communiquera aux lignes de force adjacentes, et se propagera jusqu'aux lignes proches de la surface de la pièce. Ces dernières, "bousculées" à leur tour et ne trouvant plus de place pour cheminer au travers du métal, vont "fuir" à l'extérieur, créant un champ local dénommé pour cette raison, "champ de fuite", au droit du défaut(...) 1, record 7, French, - champ%20de%20fuite
