Provençal asparagus gouge. This asparagus cutter... is identical in design to those that have been in use in France for hundreds of years. The curved, sharply beveled blade cuts asparagus below ground level neatly and effortlessly. The shaft is firmly anchored in a smooth European ash handle, and its angle with the handle makes for great leverage and effortless work. Even if you don’t have an asparagus patch, this tool is the ultimate weeder, especially for noxious tap-rooted weeds such as dandelion, dock, and burdock. 1, record 2, English, - asparagus%20gouge

... neutron production is a vital concern in a spallation system. The ultimate goal of the system design is to produce as many neutrons as ideally possible. However, in the practical engineering neutron production is a much more complicated matter. It has to be a balance between the technical constraints imposed by the performance requirements from other concerns in the system and their corresponding economic costs. 1, record 3, English, - spallation%20system

Ces systèmes fonctionnent avec des particules chargées accélérées (proton, deuton, ...) dans la gamme dite des énergies intermédiaires : de 20 MeV à plusieurs GeV. Ces particules chargées de grande énergie provoquent dans un matériau approprié fait d'atomes riches en neutrons, appelé cible de spallation, des réactions de spallation qui se manifestent par une fragmentation du noyau en plusieurs entités : des particules légères (neutrons, protons, ...) et des groupements de nucléons résiduels désignés par les termes de clusters, résiduels ou produits de spallation. 1, record 3, French, - syst%C3%A8me%20spallateur

The project is named the Autonomous Space Processor for Orbital Debris(ASPOD) and is a NASA/Universities Space Research Association(USRA) sponsored design project. The development of ASPOD and the students’ abilities in designing and building a prototype spacecraft are the ultimate goals of this project. This year's focus entailed the development of a secondary robotic arm and end-effector to work in tandem with an existent arm in the removal of orbital debris. The new arm features the introduction of composite materials and a linear drive system, thus producing a light-weight and more accurate prototype. The main characteristic of the end-effector design is that it incorporates all of the motors and gearing internally, thus not subjecting them to the harsh space environment. Furthermore, the arm and the end-effector are automated by a control system with positional feedback. This system is composed of magnetic and optical encoders connected to a 486 PC via two servo-motor controller cards. Programming a series of basic routines and sub-routines has allowed the ASPOD prototype to become more autonomous. The new system is expected to perform specified tasks with a positional accuracy of 0. 5 cm. 2, record 6, English, - autonomous%20space%20processor%20for%20orbital%20debris

Masks for printed or microcircuitry work can be prepared by simple techniques such as knife cutting, or by means of sophisticated systems. For both printed and integrated-circuit work, the original circuit layout is the starting point. Then, means for generating the pattern, reproduction, and mask making must be devised. Photomask making for integrated circuit production required far more precision, accuracy, and resolution than does the printed circuit manufacturing process. Whereas printed circuits require careful design and production attention in X and Y dimensions, IC production introduces the third dimension, Z. ICs consist of several layers which must register one with the other to a precision of better than 10 um(250 nm). To provide geometries of the order of one or two microns, very-high-resolution optics are necessary. Because integrated circuits are very susceptible to defects, the ultimate in cleanliness and temperature control is required. 1, record 8, English, - photomask%20making
