Record 2 2014-09-12

English

Subject field(s)
  • Spacecraft
CONT

Surface charging of spacecraft in synchronous orbit can occur due to incidence of a large incoming flux of electrons in the absence of sufficient charge drainage by mechanisms such as photoemission.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Engins spatiaux
CONT

Dans une orbite synchrone, la charge électrostatique de la surface des engins spatiaux peut se produire en raison de l'incidence de l'arrivée de vastes flux d'électrons en l'absence d'un drainage suffisant de la charge par des mécanismes comme les émissions photoélectriques.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Exploitation minière
DEF

Endroit où l'on garde, répare, entretient les lampes d'un établissement, d'une gare, d'une mine.

Record 4 1999-05-11

English

Subject field(s)
  • Mining Equipment and Tools
DEF

A mine locomotive driven by compressed air. It is very safe and much used in gassy mines in Europe. The air is brought down by pipeline from the surface to a charging station near the pit-bottom.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Outillage et équipement (Exploitation minière)
CONT

La vapeur peut être remplacée par de l'air comprimé, stocké dans des réservoirs qu'on remplit périodiquement à des postes fixes munis de compresseurs. Ce système [est] très utilisé dans les galeries de mines, car il donne, à l'échappement, de l'air frais, et non de la vapeur ou des gaz de combustion.

Record 5 1992-06-09

English

Subject field(s)
  • Pre-Fire Planning
CONT

The result of two full-scaled fire engulfment test on a liquefied petroleum gaz tank protection with a "sublimation coating" (THERMO-LAG 440) and an a tank protected with an intumescent coating (CHARTEK-III) are presented.

OBS

Workpieces having dimensions less than 4 in. can be powder coated with a device known as an electrostatic fluidized bed. In this process, powder is held in a container having an open top and a porous bottom through which an upward flow of air causes the powder mass to levitate or "fluidize". Charging electrodes near the surface impart an electrical charge to the powder. Electrically grounded workpieces pass over the surface of the bed and collect a coating of powder. The coating is then cured in a baking oven. There are techniques for applying dry powder coatings without the use of electrostatics.... These processes typically involve preheating the workpiece to a temperature substantially above the melting point of the powder and then applying the powder, either by dipping the workpiece into a fluidized bed or by spraying air-suspended powder directly onto the hot surface of the workpiece. The powder melts immediately upon contact and flows to form a film, which is subsequently cured in a bake oven.

Domaine(s)
  • Prévision des incendies
OBS

Le terme "sublimation" désigne le passage d'un corps de l'état solide à l'état gazeux. Le terme "revêtement (appliqué) par sublimation" a été proposé par analogie avec celui de "teinture par sublimation" (dans TERMIUM, tiré de la source VETEX). Voir la justification qui se trouve dans la partie anglaise de la présente fiche. Elle décrit des techniques de revêtement qui se rapprochent peut-être de la notion qui nous intéresse ici.

Subject field(s)
  • Electric Heating
CONT

Another method of(thermal) storage is the night-store heater. The outer casing... gives a surface temperature of... 180 deg. F... at the end of the charging period, declining to 100 deg. F... at the end of the day.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Chauffage électrique
CONT

Pour permettre l'utilisation du "courant de nuit" moins cher, on a créé les poêles à accumulation qui accumulent la chaleur pendant la nuit et la débitent pendant la journée.
