SOUND CUTTING [9 records]

Record 1 2019-07-10

English

Subject field(s)
  • Wood Sawing
CONT

Flat(plain) sawing is performed by cutting planks from a log without changing the orientation of either the blade or the log. Cuts are therefore made parallell to a tangent of the log, whose angle in relation to the log's growth rings ranges from almost 0 degrees for exterior boards, to almost 90 degrees near the log's core.... Due to the minimal waste factor associated with flat sawn lumber, it is the most commonly used method for lumber manufacturing. Despite these benefits, plain sawn lumber is also the least structurally sound...

Record 2 2016-03-10

English

Subject field(s)
  • Wood Sawing
DEF

A system, applied to lumber(mainly hardwood lumber) that is likely to be cross-cut and/or ripped before use, which determines the grade of a piece according to the % of the total surface(generally of the worse face), as calculated in cutting units, that can be included in a specified number of clear face or sound face cuttings of a certain minimum size.

Key term(s)
  • cutting unit method

French

Domaine(s)
  • Sciage du bois
DEF

Estimation du rendement d'une pièce de bois devant être débitée, par son côté le moins avantagé, afin de procéder à son classement.

Record 3 2008-09-08

English

Subject field(s)
  • Wood Sawing
DEF

Under the cutting system of grading, a cutting that is free of all visible defects on the face graded(other than certain minor defects allowed in some grades in certain grading rules) while the reverse face must not be worse than as defined under a sound face cutting.

Key term(s)
  • clear face cutting

French

Domaine(s)
  • Sciage du bois
DEF

Partie d'une face exempte de défauts sur toute sa largeur.

OBS

Le classement des faces sert à apprécier la qualité de la surface d'une bille. Pour ce faire, la bille est visuellement divisée en quatre faces, de façon à concentrer le plus grand nombre de défauts dans un nombre aussi restreint de faces que possible.

  • Fruits and Vegetables (Types and Processing - Food Ind.)
CONT

Dried apples are prepared from sound, properly ripened fruit of the common apple(Malus pumila) by washing, sorting, trimming, peeling, coring, and cutting into segments. The prepared apple segments are properly dried to remove the greater portion of moisture to produce a semi-dry texture.

OBS

Not to be confused with dehydrated apple.

Record 6 2005-10-24

English

Subject field(s)
  • Slaughterhouses
  • Meats and Meat Industries
CONT

The word "cutter" is a trade term, and refers to the manner inwhich such carcasses are marketed--generally in cuts. Usually, only the ribs and loins of such carcasses will be accepted by the retail fresh-meat trade. Cutter carcasses, as a rule, lack fat covering, except for a thin coat over the back.... Carcasses of this grade are therefore usually boned out for the boneless meat trade, and for curing, sausage, and canning purposes.... Carcasses thrown out of any grade because of extensive bruises often are referred to as "cutters, "because they are never sold in sides or quarters, but are sent to the cutting departments, where the sound parts are converted into commercial cuts. When thus treated, the cuts fall in the grade to which they belong on the basis of quality, conformation, and finish. "Cutter" in this sense has no reference to the "cutter" grade.

  • Audio Technology
  • Cinematography
CONT

Fairly soon after the introduction of talkies in the late 1920s, the movie industry settled on using an analogue optical soundtrack on the edge of the film to carry the sound. This was read by the projector and converted to an electrical audio signal. This was a very noisy medium, so in the absence of advanced noise reduction technology such as Dolby A(the cinema equivalent of, and precursor to, the Dolby B and C noise reduction systems on compact cassettes), the situation was eased by sharply cutting the treble response(at around 5kHz). The bass was also cut, which accounts for the characteristic pinched sound of old movies. The recommended system of frequency response tailoring was called ’Academy Sound. ’

OBS

Academy aspect ratio: 1.37:1, the aspect ratio for movies used almost exclusively up to the early 1950s.

Record 8 2002-07-09

English

Subject field(s)
  • Machine-Tooling (Metallurgy)
CONT

An abrasive jet uses water that is pressurized up to 40, 000 pounds per square inch(psi) and then forced through a small sapphire orifice at 2500 feet per second, or about two and a half times the speed of sound. Garnet abrasive is then pulled into this high-speed stream of water and mixed with the water in a long ceramic mixing tube. A stream of abrasive laden water moving at 1000 feet per second exits the ceramic tube. This jet of water and abrasive is then directed at the material to be machined. The jet drags the abrasive through the material in a curved path and the resulting centrifugal forces on the particles press them against the work piece. The cutting action is a grinding process where the forces and motions are provided by water, rather than a grinding wheel.
