ULTIMATE PRESSURE [8 records]

Record 1 2016-01-19

English

Subject field(s)
  • PAJLO
  • Law of Contracts (common law)
CONT

... the doctrine of undue influence reaches beyond the boundaries of physical duress, or duress to goods and property, at common law. Equity was more concerned with the more subtle effects of non-physical pressure upon the mind and ultimate consent of the party being influenced.

OBS

May be either of the person or of property or goods.

OBS

Générique par rapport à «contrainte sur la personne» et «contrainte sur biens».

Record 2 2012-02-01

English

Subject field(s)
  • Pumps
DEF

An oil-sealed rotary displacement pump.

CONT

Rotary vane vacuum pumps are built in single-and two-stage versions. Two-stage pumps achieve lower ultimate pressures than single-stage pumps. Moreover, the effects of the gas ballast on the ultimate pressure are lower, as the ballast gas is only admitted in the second stage.

Record 3 2009-07-29

English

Subject field(s)
  • Aerospace Medicine
  • Astronautics
  • Medical and Dental Services (Military)
  • Air Forces
DEF

The speciality of medicine concerning the determination and maintenance of the health, safety and performance of those who fly in air or space.

OBS

The ultimate aim of this specialty is to promote the safety and effectiveness of humans while they are exposed to the stress of aerospace flight, such as extreme temperatures, low atmospheric pressure, radiation, noise, vibrations, oxygen deprivation and the strong forces of acceleration and deceleration. Other hazards of space flight include weightlessness, motion sickness, pilot fatigue, discomfort from hunger or sleepiness due to the absence of the Earth's day-and-night cycle, and psychological disturbances caused by confinement and isolation.

OBS

The military applications of this speciality directly support the full spectrum of aerospace operations. Aeromedical operations deliver four basic effects in support of military air operations: ensuring fit and healthy forces; preventing casualties; restoring health; and optimizing human performance.

OBS

aerospace medicine: term to be used by the Department of National Defence and the Canadian Forces.

  • Médecine aérospatiale
  • Astronautique
  • Service de santé et service dentaire (Militaire)
  • Forces aériennes
DEF

Spécialité de la médecine qui s'occupe de déterminer et de maintenir l'état de santé, la sécurité et la performance de ceux qui voyagent dans les airs et dans l'espace.

OBS

Les applications militaires de la médecine aérospatiale soutiennent directement l'ensemble des opérations aérospatiales. Les opérations aéromédicales soutiennent les opérations militaires aériennes de quatre façons : en s'assurant que les forces armées sont en bonne forme et en bonne santé; en évitant les pertes de vie; en restaurant la santé; et en optimisant les performances humaines.

OBS

médecine aérospatiale : terme d'usage obligatoire au ministère de la Défense nationale et dans les Forces canadiennes.

Record 4 2006-01-24

English

Subject field(s)
  • Simulation (Cybernetic Systems)
CONT

Hennequin's prototype of a pneumatic tactile glove has layers of strategically placed air bladders that are rapidly inflated and deflated. The inventor claims that the size, location, and pressure of the tiny air bladders are the critical variables needed to create tactile illusions. By inflating the right patterns of bladders in the glove to the right amount of pressure, Hennequin hopes to be able to replicate the sensation of grasping an object and recognizing its shape. This is not the same kind of computerized glove that has dominated the VR story so far, although the ultimate goal is to combine a tactile glove with a gesture-sensing glove.

OBS

Tactile gloves are viewed as output devices whereas Data Gloves are input devices.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Soil Mechanics (Engineering)
  • Soil Tests (Construction)
DEF

... the ability of the ground to accept loading. Thus, the ultimate bearing capacity is the loading intensity on a given size of foundation which just causes shear failure of the ground, and the safe bearing capacity is the loading intensity which allows of a suitable factor of safety against shear failure. The latter is not the same as allowable bearing pressure.

DEF

Load per unit area which can be safely supported by the ground.

Domaine(s)

DEF

Aptitude d'un terrain à supporter des charges.

DEF

Charge par unité de surface, qui peut être supportée par le sol.

CONT

La portance d'un sol est la faculté qu'il possède de résister aux efforts c'est-à-dire, pour une route, aux efforts dus aux roues des véhicules et surtout aux roues les plus lourdement chargées.

OBS

portance : terme et définition uniformisés par le Groupe de travail de terminologie du génie.

DEF

A method for increasing ultimate oil recovery by injecting gas, water, or other fluids into the reservoir before the reservoir pressure has dropped appreciably, usually early in the life of the field, to reduce or eliminate a decline in pressure.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Geophysics
CONT

(The) fields are filled with pressurized hot water of "connate" origin at pressures ranging from about 40% to about 90% in excess of the hydrostatic pressure corresponding to the depth. The explanation of these very high pressures is believed to be that gradual subsidence via growth faults has led to the ultimate isolation of trapped pockets of water contained in alternating layers of sandstone and shale. The trapped fluid supports a substantial share of the weight of the overburden and has prevented the full compaction of the formation.
