Apologies for not providing more context or other communication you were looking for.
However, I find the 'filter' comment a bit overdone. There are so many inappropriate comments and behaviors on this board where this would surely be a reasonable reaction. But filtering someone because of 'silence in the woods'? I wish you an enlightened, happy day (if you have not filtered my out yet, which - as I heard - does neither cause physical pain nor bad karma). Cheers!

Eg, A 747 cargo door opened," to prevent inadvertent opening of forward cargo door"

Or, "In one form of the structure for preventing inadvertent opening of a cover lid of a water-proof watch"

And, "At 9.44 am, 22 seconds after the inadvertent opening of the SRVs, the reactor automatically scrammed due to a reactor pressure vessel"

Stefani, can you not provide the rest of the description as that's the only way to be sure that we're barking up the right tree?

Thanks, very kind of you. :-) This time I don't have any pretensions to answer however, as my time is running out. :-)

Yes, I am looking for a 'set in stone' translation! ;-) Opolt, why not submit spurious opening as an answer for grading etc.?

13:11 Aug 3, 2010 

you're not looking for a "general" translation as all these phrases are pretty much set in stone (I guess).

... as in Cat-2 accident description "Spurious opening of a pressurizer safety valve" (Druckhalter=pressurizer) on http://books.google.de/books?id=5X2Hxad9BoQC&pg=PA40&lpg=PA4...

... as in "spontaneously at the wrong time, without being triggered/actuated". But yes, the translation could vary depending on the context. My feeling tells me it's not likely to be "failure to open correctly", as Cialian suggests, but that can't be excluded either...

12:37 Aug 3, 2010 

could mean failure to open correctly, or that it opens when it shouldn't
