Carding performance

Report cards/performance records Monthly or quarterly reports comparing and evaluating physicians prescribing patterns are generated and distributed to all participating physicians... 

The experiment was repeated using 33% acrylic fiber as a carrier instead of cotton. The carding performance and composition and proportion of waste removed was the same as observed with the cotton blend. In all cases the material processed without incident in the needle-punch machine, and the resultant needled nonwovens had a satisfactory appearance, the double density products having the best. The main problem with this process was the high proportion of waste fiber generated at carding. 

Each half-card performs the same processing, but the electrical information is complemented. This eieates a certain dissimilarity in the digital processing carried out on the cards, thus reducing the risk of activation in homologous effect mode between the two half-eatds (which are identical in composition) diversification of the process on a similar architecture. 

Samples of analyte are dissolved in a suitable solvent and placed on the IR card. After the solvent evaporates, the sample s spectrum is obtained. Because the thickness of the PE or PTEE film is not uniform, the primary use for IR cards has been for qualitative analysis. Zhao and Malinowski showed how a quantitative analysis for polystyrene could be performed by adding an internal standard of KSCN to the sample. Polystyrene was monitored at 1494 cm- and KSCN at 2064 cm-. Standard solutions were prepared by placing weighed portions of polystyrene in a 10-mL volumetric flask and diluting to volume with a solution of 10 g/L KSCN in... 

The second part of the requirement deals with inspection and test records, which are also covered in clause 4.10.5. The difference between these requirements is that clause 4.10.1 requires you to document the records to be established (in other words define ) in the quality plan or procedures and clause 4.10.5 requires you to produce the records defined in the quality plan or procedures. Your inspection and test procedures therefore need to specify or contain the forms on which you intend to record the results of the inspections and tests performed. The details are covered later in this chapter, but there are two types of record to be considered the record that shows which inspections and tests have been performed and the record that shows the results of these inspections and tests. One may be a route card, shop traveler, or document which acts as both a plan of what to do and a record of the progress made and the other may be a table of results with specified parameters and accept/reject criteria. 

Figure 12-16D illustrates the type of reciprocating compressor performance problems that can develop from various mechanical details. To maintain peak efficiency in a compressor cylinder, a pressure-time indicator card of the cylinder during operation can be quite helpful in pointing to a problem and its nature. ... 

A general appreciation of some of the effect of gas pulsation on the performance and impact on the compressor pulsation drums, their nozzles, the piping system, and the cylinder valve performance, as well as possible other effects in some unique systems or items of equipment, can be discovered by examining the cylinder performance using an indicator card. This examination (see Chapter 12) can reveal acceptable and unacceptable performance in terms of pressure variations within the cylinder as the piston passes through its cycle. Hicks presents a helpful analysis see Figures 13-3 and 13M. 

The power indicator cards of typical two- and four-cycle gas engines are compared with an accepted goal for a fuel-air cycle. The performance depends upon the type and composition of the fuel. Figure 14-35. 

For catalyst testing, conventional small tubular reactors are commonly employed today [2]. However, although the reactors are small, this is not the case for their environment. Large panels of complex fluidic handling manifolds, containment vessels, and extended analytical equipment encompass the tube reactors. Detection is often the bottleneck, since it is still performed in a serial fashion. To overcome this situation, there is the vision, ultimately, to develop PC-card-sized chip systems with integrated microfluidic, sensor, control, and reaction components [2]. The advantages are less space, reduced waste, and fewer utilities. 

Sediment deposition. Horizontal surfaces collect particles primarily by sedimentation deposition, sometimes referred to as fallout . These can provide valuable information relating to exposure for horizontal surfaces in the field such as water and ground. Most studies measuring spray performance within the application area, and/or outside this area by drift, include horizontal collectors. The most common types of such collector include flat papers, cards and plates. Water- and oil-sensitive papers have been widely used for looking at the uniformity of spray coverage, coefficient of variation, droplet densities and approximate droplet size within a spray block. 

Water-sensitive papers are readily available in most countries and provide a convenient system for visually assessing spray drift performance. These papers are coated with bromoethyl blue, which turns from yellow to blue when contacted with water. " However, since any water can cause this change in color, care needs to be taken to prevent accidental exposure to sources of water other than the pesticide. Such cards do not work well under humid conditions, and are not appropriate for sampling droplets with diameter below 15 qm. Quantitative estimates of droplet size distributions must take account of the exponential increase in droplet volume as the droplet diameter increases. As droplets strike the paper, the liquid spreads over the surface and leaves a stain with a size that is dependent on the volume of the droplet. The apparent droplet size will be greater for large droplets than for small droplets, and the size determination must be corrected to avoid bias. 

Each time one of these changes is made, there is a chance for an error to occur. So after each change the program must be checked to see that it responds correctly under as many varied situations as possible. Most programs have special input card decks, or tapes, that have been prepared to perform these tests. These are merely a set of specific input data for which the responses have been hand-calculated. If the computer and hand-calculated results agree, the program is considered correct. Of course, when the data bank is altered the answers are altered. This means a corrected set of hand calculations must be made whenever the data bank is changed. 

Four different types of tasks are performed by automation. Two involve the sequencing of valves and pumps Involved 1n the setup and completion of the designed experiment through the operation of the test and hydraulic fluid systems. The other tasks involve the control of the temperature bath and data collection. To perform these tasks, a1r-actuated solenoids and optically coupled sol Id-state relays are used. These devices are controlled by an electrical circuit consisting of the device connected 1n series with a power supply and a channel on the actuator card In the HP 3497. The power supply 1s either 24 VDC for use with the solenoids or 5 VDC for the solid-state relays. The actuator output channel acts as a simple on/off switch which allows power to be supplied to the solenoid or relay when closed. The logic of the circuit 1s controlled by application programs running on the local HP 1000. 

Then, the basis set has to be selected. Let s take as an example the amino acid alanine. It is a small enough system so that a fairly large basis set could be used, such as 6-31G. Suppose one is interested in the optimum geometry of the molecule, as obtained at Hartree-Fock level and at the energy corresponding to this geometry. Then, geometry optimization has to be performed so the card will read ... 

Bender-Gestalt Test. The Bender-Gestalt is a nonverbal performance test in which the individual copies a design shown on a card. It is often used to identify a problem of visual perception and/or motor performance or minimal brain dysfunction in children. 

There are several methods for actually performing the randomization process. The three most commonly used are card assignment, use of a random number table, and use of a computerized algorithm. 

A card reader system is a type of electronic identification system that is used to identify a card and then perform an action associated with that card. Depending on the system, the card may identify where a person is or where he or she was at a certain time, or it may authorize another action, such as disengaging a lock. For example, a security guard may use his or her card at card readers located throughout a facility to indicate that he or she has checked a certain location at a certain time. The reader will store the information and/or send it to a central location, where it can be checked later to ensure that the guard has patrolled the area. Other card reader systems can be associated with a lock, so that the cardholder must have his or her card read and accepted by the reader before the lock disengages.
