English

Subject field(s)
  • Measuring Instruments
  • Archaeology
CONT

Frederic Dumas... developed a device for measuring in three dimensions. This tool can be used on a site in which both horizontal and vertical measurements are desired.... Dumas’ device consists of a square metal frame... with graduated sides... the frame is mounted on adjustable legs. A horizontal bar, also graduated, slides across the frame at right angles to two sides and to this is attached a graduated rod with vertical motion.... This rod can be moved back and forth across the bar as well as up and down. After it is placed over an object or section of the site, the entire device is made precisely horizontal. When the tip of the vertical rod is positioned so that it touches an object, three measurements are attained at once.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Appareils de mesure

CONT

Le dernier système, couramment utilisé pour effectuer des relevés point par point dans les trois dimensions, est le cadre de mesure dont la conception [...] est due à F. Dumas. Il se compose d'un simple cadre métallique rigide, supporté par des pieds télescopiques [...] et dont les côtés sont gradués. Sur le cadre, une barre transversale se déplace perpendiculairement aux côtés et porte une tige verticale, elle aussi graduée, mobile verticalement et qui coulisse le long de la transversale. Le cadre étant disposé au-dessus de la zone à relever, la tige verticale est amenée au contact de chaque point en déplaçant la transversale.

Record 5 2007-10-31

English

Subject field(s)
  • Weather Stations and Meteorological Instruments and Equipment
DEF

A graphical profile that exhibits ram resistance with depth.

CONT

The ram profile is a record of a hardness index through a vertical section of the snowpack. The ram hardness(R) is measured by driving a ram penetrometer(ram or ramsonde) vertically into the snowpack. The ram is a tube or rod with a centimeter scale for depth and a standard cone-shaped tip. The operator drops a hammer(H) a certain distance(f) and records the penetration depth(p) of the ram into the snow.

CONT

The ram profile highlighted a deep weak layer. [Example approved by the Avalanche Bulletin Terminology Standardization Committee.]

OBS

The ram resistance is an index of the relative hardness of snow as measured by a rammesonde.

OBS

ram profile; ramsonde profile: terms officially approved by the Avalanche Bulletin Terminology Standardization Committee.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Stations, instruments et équipements météorologiques
DEF

Profil établi à l'aide d'un sondage de battage qui représente sous forme d'histogramme la résistance au battage (ou à la pénétration) en fonction de la profondeur.

CONT

Le profil de battage a permis de détecter une couche fragile en profondeur. [Exemple entériné par le Comité d'uniformisation de la terminologie des bulletins d'avalanche.]

OBS

[Un profil de battage] permet de se faire une idée de la stratification et de la dureté du manteau neigeux.

OBS

profil de battage; profil par battage : termes uniformisés par le Comité d'uniformisation de la terminologie des bulletins d'avalanche.

Record 6 1998-10-15

English

Subject field(s)
  • Soil Tests (Construction)
  • Measuring Instruments (Engineering)
  • Soil Mechanics (Engineering)
CONT

Cone Penetrometer Testing(CPT) is performed by hydraulically advancing penetrometer rod into the ground while collecting real-time data. The data collected via downhole instrumentation represents the soil responses(as the rod is advanced) in relation to tip resistance, friction sleeve resistance, pore pressures and electrical resistivity.

OBS

The most widely used static penetrometer is the "Dutch Cone" ....with this equipment, the point resistance and the friction on the outside of the casing can each be measured. In a further modification the friction is measured on a separate sleeve of limited length, located just above the point.

CONT

Pénétromètres statiques. (...) Certains appareils sont équipés d'un dispositif spécial permettant la mesure du frottement latéral exercé par le sol sur un élément de tube; ce dispositif, placé généralement dans la pointe, à l'arrière du cône, est appelé manchon de frottement.

Record 7 1997-11-26

English

Subject field(s)
  • Plastics Manufacturing
CONT

The preform mold consists of four major components: preform cavity, injection nozzle, neckring insert, and core rod assembly.

CONT

The core rod assembly... has four functions or features : It forms the interior of the preform. It supports the parison or the bottle during transfer. It is the valve where air enters to expand the parison. The valve is located either in the shoulder area or in the tip, the location being governed by the bottle or core rod length-to-diameter ratio. Wide mouth bottles(that is, core rods with low length-to-diameter ratios) will usually have a shoulder valve. The core rod has a "blow by" groove. This annular groove, located near the seating shank... is needed to seal the parison and prevent excessive air loss during bottle blowing and to eliminate elastic retraction of the parison during the transfer between cavities.

CONT

Even though the parison is exposed to the air, melt strength is not as crucial because of the support provided by the parison core rod.

OBS

See Figure 82.21 in PLMAT, p. 1085.

Record 8 1994-03-17

English

Subject field(s)
  • Hunting and Sport Fishing
CONT

Action, briefly, is a measure of a rod's flexibility, and it determines the use for which the rod is suited. In fast-action rods, best suited for dry-fly fishing, most of the flex(or bend) is at the tip. Medium-action rods, often used for wet-fly and nymph fishing, bend down to about the middle. Slow-action rods, designed for fishing streamers, bass bugs, and the like, bend well down to and even into the butt.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Chasse et pêche sportive
CONT

Action. La courbe prise par une canne au moment du lancer et sa vitesse de réaction à l'impulsion du poignet. Le fléchissement d'une canne et la vitesse à laquelle elle réagit ne sont pas toujours liés: deux cannes de courbure fondamentalement identique peuvent réagir à des vitesses très différentes.

OBS

Il existe sur le marché des cannes à action légère, à action moyenne et à action lourde. L'action désigne la rigidité de la canne.

CONT

Drifting with the current is a widely used technique in rivers.

CONT

When drift fishing for walleye, it's important to keep your rod tip down and slightly to one side, so that you can set the hook when you feel a tap.

French

  • Chasse et pêche sportive
DEF

Technique qui consiste à laisser voguer l'embarcation, au gré du vent ou du courant, alors que la ligne retenant le leurre ou l'appât traîne à l'arrière.
