Control real-time

The ionization potentials, measured by photoelectron spectra, of the 3,5-dihydro-4/f-l,2,3-tria-zoles (68, X = O, NMe and CH2, R = Me and CH2Bu ) have been assigned to specific molecular orbitals based on MNDO, AMI and PM3 calculations. The most important occupied molecular orbitals are characterized as jinnn, nN.3, Unn", Unn and n,. The gas phase thermolyses of (68) are studied by photoelectron-controlled real-time gas analyses <93CB2683>.

The reason for the non-satisfying control performance of batch process units very often is the slave process that can have a more complex dynamics than the master loop has. As the slave process is determined by the mechanical construction, it is straightforward to design a model-based controller based on a nonlinear tendency model of the slave process. It has been shown that the parameters of the model-based slave controller (namely the parameters of the tendency model) can be easily determined by simple process experiments, and the complexity of the controller is comparable to that of a well furnished PID controller. Real-time control results showed that the proposed controller effectively handles the constraints (no windup) and gives superior control performance.

It would be tlierefore thus easy to obtain in real time, on computer, tlie image of a long standard defect that is to even to produce the impedance variation observed. It would be thus possible to realize the control by absolute measures and to avoid the recourse to standard defects. 

Of all NTD methods for quality control of materials, products, welded and soldered joints the most informative and perspective are radioscopic ones that enable to obtain a visual image of an inner structure of a tested objects in real time under any projection. 

Once the feasibility of using real time X-ray as an inspection method was established, it was decided to proceed with the design of a system equally suited for control of incoming frozen fish blocks and for developing inspection procedures. These inspection procedures are, when completed, to be the basis of the inspection standards for the complete concern. 

The control of the airborne sound location system, the coupling monitor and the real-time evaluation of all signals, including the echo indications from the ultrasonic instrument, is carried out on two additional boards in the PC. The graphic user interface (under Windows 95), including online help, enables an easy operation of the system. The evaluation program links all echo indications in real time with the probe position and displays them in a graphic repre-... 

Online control of the AlR-1 robot is done from within the UltraSIM/UlScan generic scanner control module. With a scanning program as input, the control application is able to calculate and perform cartesian motion for any usual robot manipulator having an inverse solution. The planned robot motion can be simulated off-line before online execution regarding joint and robot position, speed and acceleration. During robot inspection the 3D virtual inspection environment is updated real-time according to the actual robot motion.

Thus, a computer attached to a mass spectrometer must operate on two levels. When mass spectral information is arriving, this must be acquired in real time. When the computer has spare time, it controls the operation of the instrument. Both operations are carried out at such a high speed that the dual level of computer tasks is not obvious. 

It is imperative that any HDR reservoir be created in rock which is free of natural faults. This can be accompHshed by a thorough geologic study of a rock body prior to creation of an HDR reservoir within it, by close control of the hydrofracturing operation, and through real-time analysis of microearthquake data arising from joint opening to assure that the HDR reservoir stays within known bounds. 

On-line analysis is often more expensive and difficult to set up initially but can be more accurate and rehable if performed properly. On-line analyzers can also be used to provide real-time control of a process through a secondary variable such as severity or conversion, as opposed to controlling a primary variable, such as temperature (36,52).

Statistical Control. Statistical quahty control (SQC) is the apphcation of statistical techniques to analytical data. Statistical process control (SPC) is the real-time apphcation of statistics to process or equipment performance. Apphed to QC lab instmmentation or methods, SPC can demonstrate the stabihty and precision of the measurement technique. The SQC of lot data can be used to show the stabihty of the production process. Without such evidence of statistical control, the quahty of the lab data is unknown and can result in production challenging adverse test results. Also, without control, measurement bias cannot be determined and the results derived from different labs cannot be compared (27).

A wide variety of particle size measurement methods have evolved to meet the almost endless variabiUty of iadustrial needs. For iastance, distinct technologies are requited if in situ analysis is requited, as opposed to sampling and performing the measurement at a later time and/or in a different location. In certain cases, it is necessary to perform the measurement in real time, such as in an on-line appHcation when size information is used for process control (qv), and in other cases, analysis following the completion of the finished product is satisfactory. Some methods rapidly count and measure particles individually other methods measure numerous particles simultaneously. Some methods have been developed or adapted to measure the size distribution of dry or airborne particles, or particles dispersed inhquids. 

The objective ia any analytical procedure is to determine the composition of the sample (speciation) and the amounts of different species present (quantification). Spectroscopic techniques can both identify and quantify ia a single measurement. A wide range of compounds can be detected with high specificity, even ia multicomponent mixtures. Many spectroscopic methods are noninvasive, involving no sample collection, pretreatment, or contamination (see Nondestructive evaluation). Because only optical access to the sample is needed, instmments can be remotely situated for environmental and process monitoring (see Analytical METHODS Process control). Spectroscopy provides rapid real-time results, and is easily adaptable to continuous long-term monitoring. Spectra also carry information on sample conditions such as temperature and pressure. 

An ethylene plant contains more than 300 equipment items. Traditionally, operators were trained at the site alongside experienced co-workers. With the advent of modem computers, the plant operation can be simulated on a real-time basis, and the results displayed on monitors (107). Computers are used in a modem plant to control the entire operation, eg, they are used to control the heaters and the recovery section (108). A weU-controUed plant is much more profitable than a poorly controlled plant. For the heaters, a model-based control system is gaining importance (109). Instead of simply controlling the coil outlet temperature (COT), severity is actually controlled. The measurement of severity (either or C H /CH ratio) requires on-line effluent... 

A real-time optimization (RTO) system determines set point changes and implements them via the computer control system without intervention from unit operators. The RTO system completes all data transfer, optimization c culations, and set point implementation before unit conditions change and invahdate the computed optimum. In addition, the RTO system should perform all tasks without upsetting plant operations. Several steps are necessaiy for implementation of RTO, including determination of the plant steady state, data gathering and vahdation, updating of model parameters (if necessaiy) to match current operations, calculation of the new (optimized) set points, and the implementation of these set points.

Real-time clocks (RTCs). Real-time systems are required to respond to events, as they occur, in a timely manner. This is especially crucial in process control systems where control actions applied at the wrong time may amplify process deviations or destabilize the processes. The nodes in the systems are interrupted periodically by the real-time clocks to maintain the ac tual elapsed times.
