Interfaces control

Turnkey operation A complete fabrication line or system, such as an extruder with a thermoformer line with upstream and downstream equipment. Controls interface all the equipment in-line from material delivery to the end of the line handling the product for in-plant storage or shipment out of the plant. 

There are many products based on these life sciences standards, such as the aforementioned gene expression standard that is used in Rosetta Merck s Resolver product and the European Bioinformatics Institute s (EBI) Array-Express database. The LECIS (Laboratory Equipment Control Interface Specification) standard is used by Creon as part of their Q-DIS data standard support (note that one of the authors was the finalization task force chairperson for this standard).

Further details of the above techniques to improve the transverse fracture toughness of composites by controlled interfaces of various nature and modifying materials are discussed in the following sections. The effectiveness of these toughening methods on transverse fracture toughness and strength in relation to the controls are summarized in Table 7.1. 

The automatic apparatus consists of a viscosimeter and phototran-sistorized sensing devices mounted in a precision thermostat ( 0.005°C) connected to a cooled prethermostat ( 0.1°C). The base apparatus is commercially available (Schott Viscotimer, Jenaer Glaswerk, Schott Gen., Mainz), but the viscosimeter control functions and the time measurements are performed by using an electronic computer-controlled interface. This modification enables one to follow slow reactions and to reduce standard errors on the outflow times to 2 msec. The final results are evaluated numerically by an on-line computer-plotter system.

IC reactions can be of two types. The nucleation of the new phase (e.g. Ni produced by the reduction of NiO) may be rate determining. In that case, separate nuclei of the new phase can be detected (Fig. 1(a)). These are called nucleation-controlled interface or NCI reactions. In other cases, all the surface of the initial solid reacts, and a continuous interface entirely covers the solid reactant. With respect to kinetics, the interfacial process entirely controls the reaction in this last case. This is an ICI reaction (Fig. 1(b)). 

PCX interfacing Pacific Scientific liquid counter/controller interfaces Pacific Scientifics complete family of liquid sensors to their Particle Vision Online software. The iPCX is designed for online continual monitoring applications. 

The self-adaptive software engineering model introduces a control interface for the software component in addition to the existing interfaces for input data and the output data. In this new component modeling, each software component has three external interfaces (1) existing interface for receiving input data to be processed by the component, (2) additional interface for... 

The software component interacts through three external interfaces one for accessing input data ( input interface), another for producing output data ( output interface), and the last ( control interface) for accepting environmental variables and characteristics to adjust the internal behavior of the software component accordingly with the runtime parameters. With this innovation, the launched software is able to discover the runtime environment and dynamically adapt to the target environment.
