What's the difference between filature and spool?

Filature


Definition:

  • (n.) A drawing out into threads; hence, the reeling of silk from cocoons.
  • (n.) A reel for drawing off silk from cocoons; also, an establishment for reeling silk.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) A clinical survey in two silk filatures revealed that 36.2% of the persons engaged in the processing of natural silk were suffering from bronchial asthma, while 16.9% of the total subjects had asthma of occupational origin.
  • (2) The risk of developing stomach cancer was significantly high in male and female agricultural workers, while that of developing cancer of the mouth-and-pharynx was significantly high in construction workers in men and filature-and-spinning workers in women.

Spool


Definition:

  • (n.) A piece of cane or red with a knot at each end, or a hollow cylinder of wood with a ridge at each end, used to wind thread or yarn upon.
  • (v. t.) To wind on a spool or spools.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) Three possible cases for the ejection process friction are considered: friction in the tail-part channel, that of DNA segments with each other in the whole globule volume (it is essential for the collective way of the globule decondensation with simultaneous movement of all the loops--the first type way), the globule friction with internal capsid surface (it is most essential for the decondensation by the way of the globule rotation as a whole "spool"--the second type way).
  • (2) Colonel Steve Warren, the spokesman for the command operating the war against Isis, said that Keating was part of a quick reaction force (QRF) spooled up in support of a US “advise and assist” mission that “just happened to be in that village” meeting with peshmerga leaders at Tel Osqof, less than four km behind the front.
  • (3) Subsequently, the acceptor region spools up single-stranded polypyrimidines as they are released by progressive denaturation of the donor region; both the spooling and the denaturation result in relaxation of negative supercoils in the rest of the DNA molecule.
  • (4) The patients were dialysed with a spool dialysator with cuprophan membrane of a surface of 1 m2.
  • (5) This graft is flexible during insertion but becomes rigid after proper intraaortic placement as the spool is dilated and the ratchest lock into position.
  • (6) Under Nény’s insistent questioning, the quietly spoken Benhaim repeats that “that version of events is wrong” Eventually, the spooling, repetitive question-and-answer becomes hard to follow.
  • (7) Spool forward through a most unusual period in BBC history when all three main output divisions – TV, Radio and News – were being run by candidates for Mark Thompson's job; and also a contender was No 2, Caroline Thomson.
  • (8) Recent events in Shanghai’s stock markets have been all too reminiscent of the tales that have entered American folk memory from the days of the Wall Street crash in 1929: of stock-tipping shoeshine boys, exhausted traders, and ticker-tape machines spooling late into the night.
  • (9) A device containing a spool of fine line was carried by released mammals so that the line unwound under minimum tension as the animal proceeded and could be followed the day after release.

  • (12) After covering the radioactive filter positions with an adhesive plastic foil from both sides, the film spool is directly inserted into a specially constructed gamma-counter.
  • (13) The third is the globule friction with the capsid inner surface, that is most important when decondensation proceeds via the globule rotation as a whole spool (mechanism 2).
  • (14) The core may be a protein spool about which the phage DNA is wound.
  • (15) We now are using this device whenever possible in all substitutions of the aorta, although in approximately 40% of patients, it is necessary to remove one of the spools and suture either the proximal or distal end of the graft owing to the close proximity of the aneurysm to the coronary ostia or the origin of the subclavian artery.
  • (16) Studies on negatively stained preparations of purified capsids suggest that the toroid consists of DNA arranged as if it were spooled around the cylindrical mass.
  • (17) From our results we have proposed a double-helix model for the gene 5 protein-DNA complex in which the protein forms a spindle or core around which the DNA is spooled.
  • (18) When metacarpal epiphyseal cartilage (growth plates) ossifies with age, break joints on the distal end of the metacarpals fuse and the end of the bone then appears as a spool joint rather than as a break joint.
  • (19) In the streets and lifts of nearby office blocks, everyone seems to be carrying reels of old-fashioned tape recorder spools.
