Basic system inspection

When you receive your unit be sure to inspect the surfaces for damage. Surface damage can affect operation. For instance, one unit we received had a dent in the door that prevented it from closing completely. The door was connected to a switch so that the unit would not turn on unless the door was closed. The door had to be hammered back into shape to correct the situation. 

Read the manual before you first open up the fuel cell unit and start poking around. There may be special instructions for accessing certain parts of the unit. Also note if the unit is dirty or not. If it is, vacuum and wipe down the unit as well as possible. Many units have air ducts, filters and fan blades that should be inspected and cleaned on a regular basis.

Some units have batteries to run components like fans in the unit. 

They are kept charged by the fuel cells. When the unit is shipped, the wire connectors are removed from the battery supply, and the breakers in the system are turned to the off position if the batteries are left in the unit when shipped.

The QAP system additionally was developped for inspection documentation purposes to meet the modern requirements in process documentation (ISO 9000). It is the basic system required to install a fully automated inspection by a camera system and image processing. 

Another similar instrument is also manufactured by TSI. The basic system for measuring the aerodynamic diameter of aerosol fine particles is shown in Fig. 7. Using this instrument, the velocity of a moving fine particle being accelerated across the inspection zone is measured with the Doppler shift in two beams that have a different directional reference to the moving... 

The basic approach of the agri-environmental programmes is that farmers enter a voluntary contract with a governmental agency. The farmers commit themselves to specific farming practices that are perceived to be beneficial to the environment and receive a certain amount of money in return. Contracts are usually made on a five-year basis. A control system inspects a small sample (usually 5 per cent) of the farmers to check whether they actually abide by their commitments. 

If a driver undergoes an inspection and no violations are found, the inspection is entered into the system, and will he counted in the appropriate BASICs, hut no violation values will be entered to any of the BASICs. Driver inspections are counted in the HOS Compliance, Driver Fitness, and Controlled Substance and Alcohol BASICs. Vehicle inspections are counted in the Vehicle Maintenance BASIC. The HM BASIC uses HM inspections. 

By implementing proactive safety measures now, your roadside inspection reports should eventually become clean. This in turn will have a positive impact on your motor carrier s Safety Measrmement System (SMS) score for each Behavior Analysis Safety Improvement Category (BASIC) dming inspections. 

In this paper the technical specifications of a Real Time X-Ray system are given. The procedure for inspection is explained briefly. The resolution of film and of Real Time X-Ray inspection are compared. The basic equipment needed to inspect Real Time X-Ray data is defined. 

The relationships between the importance measures is based on the assumption that the systems are not reconfigured in response to a component outage. If this is done, the basic definition of the importance measure is still valid but there is not such a simple relationship. Disregarding this complication, some interpretations of the importances may be made. The Bimbaum Importance is the risk that results when the i-th system has failed (i.e., it is the A, term in Equation 2.8-9). Inspection Importance and RRWI are the risk due to accident sequences containing the i-th system. Fussell- Vesely Importance is similar except it is divided by the risk so may be interpreted as the fraction of the total risk that is in the sequences contains the Q-th system. The Risk Achievement Worth Ratio (RAWR) is the ratio of the risk with system 1 failed to the total risk and is necessarily greater than one. The Risk Achievement Worth Increment (RAWI) is the incremental risk increase if system 1 fails and the Risk Reduction Worth Ratio (RRWR) is the fraction by which the risk is reduced if system 1 were infallible. 

Colorimeter Also called color comparator or photoelectric color comparator. An instrument for matching colors with results about the same as those of visual inspection, but more consistent. Basically the sample is illuminated by light from the three primary color filters and scanned by an electronic detecting system. It is sometimes used in conjunction with a spectrophotometer, which is used for close control of color in production. 

While quality was formerly achieved by inspection of final products, it is accomplished now by prevention through controlling critical steps in the production processes along the agri-food chain. Hazard analysis critical control points (HACCP) represent a typical example of such a preventive approach. Although this concept was developed primarily to assure food safety, the basic principle is also applicable to assuring non-safety quality attributes such as color, flavor, and nutritional value. " This section translates the HACCP principles into a critical quality control point (CQP) concept that can be part of a system to assure food quality.
