A valve is attached to the shunt tubing. It controls the direction the cerebrospinal fluid flows and keeps a normal amount of cerebrospinal fluid in the ventricles. The valve adjusts the amount of cerebrospinal fluid that flows from the ventricles and prevents the ventricles from over-draining, which is called over-shunting. 3, record 1, English, - overdrainage

Un système de shunt est un corps étranger sur lequel peuvent se fixer des bactéries. Habituellement, l'administration d’antibiotiques n’ est plus d’aucune utilité. La seule solution est alors l'enlèvement du système. La période qui s’écoule jusqu'à la mise en place d’un nouveau shunt doit parfois être surmontée en plaçant une tubulure vers l'extérieur, un drain externe. Enfin, il peut arriver que, par siphonnage, une quantité trop importante de liquide céphalorachidien s’écoule par le système. C'est ce que l'on appelle surdrainage. Cela peut provoquer des symptômes, même si ce n’ est pas toujours le cas. Lorsque les ventricules sont très volumineux et qu'il y a un surdrainage, il existe un risque d’épanchement de sang entre le cerveau et les méninges, ce que l'on appelle hématome sous-dural. 1, record 1, French, - surdrainage

The second type of rain-gauge is the autographic gauge which can be either of the tilting-siphon type or the tipping-bucket type. The recording chart on an autographic rain-gauge is mounted on a drum which is driven by clockwork and typically rotates round a vertical axis once per day. For a tilting-siphon rain-gauge, the rainwater in a collector displaces a float so that a marking pen attached to the float makes a continuous trace on the paper. 4, record 10, English, - natural%20siphon%20gauge

Pour pouvoir remplir le cryostat d’hélium liquide, sans utiliser beaucoup d’hélium, il faut d’abord prérefroidir les 2 réservoirs avec de l'azote liquide afin d’abaisser la température du cryostat à 77 °K. Après avoir attendu que tout l'intérieur du cryostat se soit thermalisé à cette température, on chasse l'azote en envoyant de l'air sous pression dans les réservoirs. [Puis], on pompe le gaz [...] à l'intérieur des réservoirs afin d’éviter qu'il ne gèle lors du transfert d’hélium liquide. [...] Une fois que le vide est fait, on fait rentrer de l'hélium gazeux puis on siphonne doucement. Comme le siphonnage d’hélium se fait par le bas du cryostat, des vapeurs froides d’hélium vont d’abord refroidir la bobine et le réservoir. [...] Le réservoir est donc amené à une température de 4, 2 °K, ce qui est la température de l'hélium liquide. 1, record 11, French, - cryostat%20d%26rsquo%3Bh%C3%A9lium%20liquide
