Contents 1 Material Performance Requirements

Nevertheless the use of dielectric materials obtained by conductive filler dispersion (carbon black, graphite fibres, metallic powders) is limited. As a matter of a fact material performances are dependent on the filler content as well as particle aggregation phenomena. These composites require a high level of reproducibility and their behaviour is linked to the control of electronic inter-particular transfer. The measured parameter (complex permittivity) depends on the texture of the percolation aggregates and consequently on the processing conditions. The percolation threshold (the particle concentration, after which particles are in contact and the electrical current exists) depends on the particle shape (sphere, plates or fibres). 

With such a drying suite, users can process their experimental data. They can select an appropriate dryer or get the appropriate dryers recommended after material characteristics (such as moister contents, particle distributions, and experimental drying curves), and product requirements (such as final moisture content, product quality requirements) are specified. They then can perform relevant heat/ mass/pressure balance calculations for not only the dryer(s) but also the ancillary unit operations of the drying operation. Users should be able to further carry out scoping, on... 

High cBN content materials are used in rough machining apphcations, whereas lower cBN content tools tend to perform better in finishing applications where shallow depths of cut are being taken and a good surface finish is required. 

The sohd can be contacted with the solvent in a number of different ways but traditionally that part of the solvent retained by the sohd is referred to as the underflow or holdup, whereas the sohd-free solute-laden solvent separated from the sohd after extraction is called the overflow. The holdup of bound hquor plays a vital role in the estimation of separation performance. In practice both static and dynamic holdup are measured in a process study, other parameters of importance being the relationship of holdup to drainage time and percolation rate. The results of such studies permit conclusions to be drawn about the feasibihty of extraction by percolation, the holdup of different bed heights of material prepared for extraction, and the relationship between solute content of the hquor and holdup. If the percolation rate is very low (in the case of oilseeds a minimum percolation rate of 3 x 10 m/s is normally required), extraction by immersion may be more effective. Percolation rate measurements and the methods of utilizing the data have been reported (8,9) these indicate that the effect of solute concentration on holdup plays an important part in determining the solute concentration in the hquor leaving the extractor. 

The requirements placed on the performance and reliability of CVD coatings are continuously upgraded. For one thing, this means the need for an ever increasing degree of purity of the precursor materials since impurities are the maj or source of defects in the deposit. The purity of a gas is expressed in terms of nines, for instance, six nines, meaning a gas that is 99.9999% pure, which is now a common requirement. It is also expressed in ppm (parts per million) or ppb (parts per billion) of impurity content. 

The second requirement is that enforcement methods for food must be validated by an independent laboratory [independent laboratory validation (ILV)]. The sample set is identical with the general sample set (see Section 4.1). If the method is identical for all four crop groups (mentioned at the beginning of the section), it may be sufficient to perform the ILV for plant materials with a minimum of two matrices, one of them with a high water content. In the case of food of animal origin, the ILV should be performed with at least two of the matrices milk, egg, meat, and, if appropriate, fat. 

Primary container-closure system-related data will need to cover storage, transportation, and use. The choice of materials of construction, their description, and the ability of the container-closure system to protect from moisture and/or light will need to be considered. The compatibility of the container-closure and its contents will need to consider sorption, leaching, and safety. The performance of the container-closure system will also need to be considered in terms of dose delivery from any associated device that is to be supplied as part of the product. Container-closure components will require adequate specifications covering description, identification, critical dimensional tolerances, and test methodology (including pharma-copeial and noncompendial methods). More data are likely to be required for liquid or semi-liquid products than for solid dosage forms. In the latter, product stability data and container-closure system specifications may suffice.
