Homeostasis. Anyone who tries to regulate a chemical reaction system by a multitude of valves or switches (Figure 5) soon becomes frustrated with the instability of his experimental system and appreciative of automatic control devices (servo systems). For example, for the external control of preselected pH and C02 activity, an automatic titrator (pH — stat) can be used to dose continuously and automatically the quantity of C02 which is necessary to maintain constant pH. Feedback is an essential feature of such a control system there are essentially two major components, a controlling system (error detector) and a controlled system (13) (Figure Id). 

From the controlled system, a signal is supplied via feedback loop to the error detector which generates an error signal which in turn adjusts the value that controls the C02 supply to the reactor. The same kind of cybernetic mechanism prevails at the level of the individual organism... 

Completion of the Incubation time is detected by the LAS error-detector assembly, which monitors the analytical stream at the outlet of the Incubator. The microprocessor activates the magnets and, as stated above, the solid-phase antibody Is trapped while the free antigen washes through. The pinch valve is... 

Bourdon pressure element (receiving element). This part of the system evaluates the signal from the primary element, and converts it into scale readings, chart records, and actuation for the error detector. 

Error-detector Elements (unbalanced detector, summing point, or primary relay). In Fig, 9-18, the error detector is the baffle and jet. The error detector compares the measured value of the controlled variable with its desired value, and produces an error signal when deviation exists. A brief description of how the error detector of Fig. 9-18 operates is given in the following paragraphs. 

The desired value is represented by the position of the left end of the baffle, as determined by manual adjustments to the set-point knob. The measured value of the controlled variable is represented by the position of the right end of the baffle, as determined by the deflection of the bourdon tube. Thus, the baffle is a differential lever the position of its center (at the jet) represents the deviation (difference) or error between the desired and measured values of the controlled variable. In order to be usable, this very weak, small deviation or error signal, represented by the position of the baffle mid-point, must be both measured and amplified. This is done (in this particular controller) by the baffle-and-jet error detector. 

Self-operated and Relay-operated Controllers. Some control systems obtain all power for operating the error detector and final control element from the controlled medium of the process via the primary element and measuring means. Such control systems are termed self-operated controllers (Fig. 9-20a). 

Control systems that use an auxiliary source of power, in addition to the power provided through the primary element, are termed relay-operated controllers (Fig. 9-206 and c). This auxiliary power may be introduced into the measuring system, the error detector, or one or more amplifying relays. In the typical controller of Fig. 9-18, the measuring means is self-operated. The auxiliary power is provided by compressed air supplied at the bafile-and-jet error detector and at pilot-valve power amplifier. 

These responses will be illustrated by use of the heat-transfer process of Fig. 9-18, but with different types of error detectors and compensators.

In Dynamic Spatial Reconstructor at the expense of use 2D matrix of detectors there was the opportunity to use a divergent cone beam of source emission. This system had a number of lacks. In particular the number of projections is rigidly limited by the number of x-ray sources. The dispersion of source emission results in errors of data collected.. However the system confirmed basic advantages of application of conic beams and 2D matrices of detectors for collecting information about 3D object. 

The first of them to determine the LMA quantitatively and the second - the LF qualitatively Of course, limit of sensitivity of the LF channel depends on the rope type and on its state very close because the LF are detected by signal pulses exceeding over a noise level. The level is less for new ropes (especially for the locked coil ropes) than for multi-strand ropes used (especially for the ropes corroded). Even if a skilled and experienced operator interprets a record, this cannot exclude possible errors completely because of the evaluation subjectivity. Moreover it takes a lot of time for the interpretation. Some of flaw detector producers understand the problem and are intended to develop new instruments using data processing by a computer [6]. 

Detector tubes should be refrigerated when not in use to prolong shelf life. They should not be used when cold. They should be kept at room temperature or in a shirt pocket for one hour prior to use. Lubrication of the piston pump may be required if volume error is greater than 5 %. 

A more difficult criterion to meet with flow markers is that the polymer samples not contain interferents that coelute with or very near the flow marker and either affect its retention time or the ability of the analyst to reproducibly identify the retention time of the peak. Water is a ubiquitous problem in nonaqueous GPC and, when using a refractive index detector, it can cause a variable magnitude, negative area peak that may coelute with certain choices of totally permeated flow markers. This variable area negative peak may alter the apparent position of the flow marker when the flow rate has actually been invariant, thereby causing the user to falsely adjust data to compensate for the flow error. Similar problems can occur with the elution of positive peaks that are not exactly identical in elution to the totally permeated flow marker. Species that often contribute to these problems are residual monomer, reactants, surfactants, by-products, or buffers from the synthesis of the polymer. 

It is crucial in quantitative GC to obtain a good separation of the components of interest. Although this is not critical when a mass spectrometer is used as the detector (because ions for identification can be mass selected), it is nevertheless good practice. If the GC effluent is split between the mass spectrometer and FID detector, either detector can be used for quantitation. Because the response for any individual compound will differ, it is necessary to obtain relative response factors for those compounds for which quantitation is needed. Care should be taken to prevent contamination of the sample with the reference standards. This is a major source of error in trace quantitative analysis. To prevent such contamination, a method blank should be run, following all steps in the method of preparation of a sample except the addition of the sample. To ensure that there is no contamination or carryover in the GC column or the ion source, the method blank should be run prior to each sample.
