Hj) Height of Burst (Sonic) Test. The purpose of this test is to det the height of burst of a fuze using sonic techniques. This technique requires the measurement of the time of arrival of sound at directional microphones precisely placed in a plane. A brief description of this test is given on p IIIB-20 Ref 39 Addnl info can be obtd from "Instrumentation Section, Technical Services Laboratory, Ammunition Development Division, Ammunition Engineering Directorate, Picatinny Arsenal, Dover, NJ 07801 H2) Hydraulic Ram and Vibrator Test. This test could be used to simulate impact shock on bombs or rockets assembled with fuzes that are launched from aircraft. It also could check the transportability of fuzes that experience this environment. This test is listed, but not described in Ref 39, p IIB-37...

Which of these criteria will be critical for the development of a specific process will depend on the particular catalyst and transformation. In the following section we describe the various steps that were necessary to develop a technical process for the production of (S)-metolachlor. 

Ruhrchemie AG was the first to seize upon the idea of applying a water-soluble rhodium catalyst and thus commercialize a process which has been elaborated on a laboratory scale by Rhone-Poulenc earlier [13, 14]. It took only two years of intensive research to develop the technical concept and to erect the first plant, which went on-stream in 1984 [15]. By 1987 the second unit was already built and today the total capacity for n-butyraldehyde amounts to more than 350000 tons per year [16, 17]. An additional plant for the production of n-pentanal from n-butene was brought on-stream in 1995 (see Section 6.1.3.1.8). 

Section 2 presents the assumptions and requirements upon which the INEL concept was developed. Section 3 contains an overview of the reactor concept. Section 4 lists the conclusions and recommendations. Most of the technical details and discussions are contained in the appendices. The first task was to examine plutonium destruction rates and isotopics for different neutron spectra, as discussed in Appendix A. This study lead to the adoption of a thermal reactor concept instead of reactors with fast or epithermal neutron spectra. The second task was to study the addition of seed materials for selfprotection from materials diversion. Appendix B illustrates that fission products provide the best. self-protection, and seed materials are not needed for the INEL concept. Various fuel types were investigated and are described in Appendix C. The core neutronics studies presented in Appendix D and thermal-hydraulics studies pre.sented in Appendix E were performed concurrently. An evaluation of potential offsite radiation doses... 

To ensure a more reliable temperature control and the formation of a cylindrical layer of cold gas in each section of the reactor, several collectors for its introduction can be mounted, with thermocouple 7 and control device 8 ahead of each to adjust the volume of supplied cold gas. As the cold gas, the discharge gas or initial natural gas or any combination thereof can be used. Furfhermore, the oxidation by-products can be pumped from the vat of column 11 by pump 12 into mixer 14, from which, along with the circulation gas (boosted by compressor 13) or initial gas, they move in the cooling gas flow to final oxidation. Making use of the method for temperature control of the process by supplying additional amount of cold gas, the AMTEK-engineering company has developed a technical project of a plant with a capacity of 5000 tons of methanol per year. 

The development of technical systems is assisted by several procedural systems with different focuses (VDI/VDE 2221, Pahl/Beitz, VDI 2422, and others). The specifics of the development of mechanical electronic modules are largely taken into account in VDI 2206, Design Methodology for Mechatronic Systems. This VDI guideline 2206 is discussed in Section 8.1.1. 

The simplest way to add a non-adiabatic correction to the classical BO dynamics method outlined above in Section n.B is to use what is known as surface hopping. First introduced on an intuitive basis by Bjerre and Nikitin [200] and Tully and Preston [201], a number of variations have been developed [202-205], and are reviewed in [28,206]. Reference [204] also includes technical details of practical algorithms. These methods all use standard classical trajectories that use the hopping procedure to sample the different states, and so add non-adiabatic effects. A different scheme was introduced by Miller and George [207] which, although based on the same ideas, uses complex coordinates and momenta. 

Steels having adequate hardenabiHty develop martensitic stmctures in practical section sizes. Molybdenum is a potent contributor to hardenabiHty, and has been shown to be even more effective in the presence of carehiUy selected amounts of other alloying elements (26). The end-quench test has become the accepted method for measuring hardenabiHty, and the data can be correlated with section size. Technical societies worldwide have standardized hardenabiHty limits (bands) for a large number of carbon and alloy steels standards of the Society of Automotive Engineers are examples (27).

The nations represented at the launch of the resulting standard were France, Germany, Italy, UK, and USA who together with representatives from ISQ/TC 176 developed a sector standard which became ISQ/TS 16949. This technical specification incorporates section 4 of ISQ 9001 1994 and includes requirements taken from QS-9000, VDA 6, AVSQ 94, and EAQF 94 and some new requirements, all of which have been agreed by the international members. The evolution of ISQ/TS 16949 is illustrated in Figure 1.2. 

The overall conclusion that can be drawn from a survey of CPI data collection systems is that the better systems do attempt to address the causes of human error. However, because of the lack of knowledge about the factors which influence errors, the causal information that is collected may not be very useful in developing remedial strategies. General information in areas such as severity, work control aspects and the technical details of the incident will be required in all data collection systems. However, in almost all cases a structured process for causal analysis is lacking. Some of the requirements for causal analysis are set out in the following sections. 

Because of the great importance of liquid-liquid biphasic catalysis for ionic liquids, all of Section 5.3 is dedicated to specific aspects relating to this mode of reaction, with special emphasis on practical, technical, and engineering needs. Finally, Section 5.4 summarizes a very interesting recent development for biphasic catalysis with ionic liquids, in the form of the use of ionic liquid/compressed CO2 biphasic mixtures in transition metal catalysis. 

What is going to be the first area of broad, commercial ionic liquid application This is probably the question most frequently asked of everybody who is active in developing ionic liquid methodology. The answer is not easy to give. Some petrochemical processes are ready to be licensed or are in pilot plant development (as described in Section 5.2), but there is still some time needed to bring these applications on stream and to claim a broad replacement of existing technologies by ionic liquids in this area. For some non-synthetic applications, in contrast, the lead time from the first experiments to full technical realization is much shorter. 

This chapter will cover sulfosuccinate monoesters and diesters. The monoesters are best used in cosmetics and toiletries the diesters—especially those based on 2-ethylhexanol—play an important role in, for example, the textile industry due to their outstanding wetting activities [5]. Sulfosuccinamates and sulfosuccinamides are consumed in technical fields like emulsion polymerization. The next section discusses the historical development of the sulfosuccinates.
