Law/Patents - Patents / a distance
English term or phrase: a distance
a second zone extends axially from the first zone a distance less than the distance to the outlet end of the porous walls and comprises the platinum group metal coating and the first SCR catalyst coating.

Puse esto: una segunda zona se extiende axialmente desde la primera zona a una distancia inferior a la distancia hasta el extremo de salida de las paredes porosas y comprende la capa metálica del grupo del platino y la primera capa del catalizador SCR.

No sé si está bien poner "a una distancia".

¡Muchas gracias!

Extends a distance puede leerse como se extiende a lo largo. No obstante, la expresión extends a distance less than the distance parece pretender sugerir, precisamente, la idea de extenderse a una distancia inferior a (aunque el original resulta algo torcido...).

agree  Neil Ashby: Agree with your suggestion but not with the part about "Extends a distance puede leerse como se extiende a lo largo" - "extends a distance" does not equal "extiende a lo largo" (that would be, extends along/throughout).Patents are almost always torcido;@)

  -> You are completely right; I was thinking precisely of it extends a distance along the (whatever). I guess I was messed up by the torcido original after all ;) Thanks for the warning!!
