In designing a neural network control system, one must select the overall structure of the system and decide which components will utilize neural network algorithms. Several examples of control system structures are provided below, each of which utilizes one or more neural networks as described above. This section of the chapter provides a brief overview of some neural control systems that have potential for application in biomedical control systems. For excellent, thorough reviews of recent developments in neural network control systems, the reader is referred to Miller [1990b] and White and Sofge [ 1992]. 

The compact bicyclic lactams 15 and 16 are examples of chiral systems that show high facial selectivity. Interestingly, 15 is alkylated from the convex face. When two successive alkylations are done, both groups are added from the endo face, so the configuration of the newly formed quaternary center can be controlled. The closely related 16 shows exo stereoselectivity. 100... 

Adjust this frequency to include the demand, for example, a reactor failure frequency is divided by 12 if the reactor is used only 1 month during the entire year. The frequencies are also adjusted (reduced) to include the benefits of preventive maintenance. If, for example, a control system is given preventive maintenance 4 times each year, then its failure frequency is divided by 4. 

An example of a system that can be switched reversibly in three different states through electrochemical control of the guest properties of one component is illustrated in Figure 10.1281 Tetrathia-fulvalene is stable in three different oxidation states, TTF(0), TTF+, and TTF2+. On oxidation, the electron-donor power of tetrathiafulvalene decreases with a... 

In conclusion, metal-support substrates provide good examples of composite systems that can be studied efficiently by GF techniques. The key parameter is clearly seen to be the film thickness it controls the extent to which the metal-support system mimics the chemisorption properties of the pure metal. Also important is the bond strength (7) between the metal and the support, as it governs the flow of charge between the metal and the support, thus determining the amount of charge available at the surface to partake in chemisorption. 

The dynamics of controlled systems is an open problem that has recently attracted the attention of scientific community [13]. In fact, oscillatory behavior in chemical systems is an interesting topic (which has been typically studied in autocatalytic reactions, e.g., the Lotka system see [44] and references therein). Dynamics of controlled systems can be explained in terms of interconnections. Indeed, by analogy with control systems, autocatalytic chemical systems can be described as examples of chemical feedback [44]. 

A different but very important area of chemical engineering in the life sciences involves the design and manufacture of health care systems for diagnostic or therapeutic purposes. Consider the example of controlled release drugs or dermal penetration drugs. Here the emphasis is on the system rather than on the compound. The design of these systems requires an understanding of reactions, kinetics, fluid mechanics, and membrane systems. 

Catenane 404+ (Fig. 13.35) is another example of a system in which the coconformational motion can be controlled electrochemically.41 It is made of the symmetric tetracationic cyclophane 124+ and a nonsymmetric ring comprising two... 

Numerous other applications could be listed in which electrokinetic characterization provides a convenient experimental way of judging the relative stability of a system to coagulation. Paints, printing inks, drilling muds, and soils are examples of additional systems with properties that are extensively studied and controlled by means of the f potential. 

This observation has become an important contributor to the development of rapid, automatic scanning of outer tissues of grains (primarily bran tissues) which contribute both strong color and taste characteristics to grain products such as wheat flour. The ability to measure both the concentration and distribution of such components is paramount to quality control in bakeries, and to definition of raw materials. An example of the systems necessary for routine analysis is included in a following section. 

An example of a system transient is shown in Figure 9.3. The figure shows a 20 amp load increase on a nominal 3 kW SOFC system using a stream-reformed methane fuel. Stack load current, stack voltage, and input fuel flow rate are shown. Here, the system is pre-warmed to the conditions shown (ca. 20 amps), following which the controller permits exporting more power to a load at the ramp rate shown. As the transition occurs, numerous other system variables also adjust, some in direct response to the increase in load, and others imposed by the control system in order to keep all system components within their design limits. 

Although examples of delivery systems using the parenteral and oral (solid) routes are presented in this chapter, application of dissolution controlled release matrix and coated systems concepts can extended easily (and has been) used for many other delivery routes. 

Noise — Electrical noise is unwanted electrical signals that produce undesirable effects in the circuits of control systems in which they occur. Figure 1.5 shows an example of noise in a 480-V power wiring due to switching resonance. 

Other examples of typical system sequencing include the correct automatic operation of equipment controlled by a computer system such as fluid bed system, automated packing lines, and product release is another function that involves sequencing. 

Chemically-Controlled Systems. In these systems, the polymer matrix contains chemically-labile bonds. On exposure to water or enzymes the bonds hydrolyze, erode the three dimensional structure of the polymer and release the incorporated reagent into the surrounding medium. Depending on the polymer used, the erosion products may act as interferences, such as by altering the pH of the solution. Examples of these systems are polyglycolic acid (PGA) and a polyglycolic acid - polylactic acid (PGA/PLA) copolymer. PGA hydrolyzes to hydroxyacetic acid, and PGA/PLA hydrolyzes to lactic acid and hydroxyacetic acid. Other chemically-controlled systems are based on polyorthoesters, polycaprolactones, polyaminoacids, and polyanhydrides. 

A specific example of this type of control system is seen in the case of the interrelated roles of cholecystokinin 8-sulfate (CCK8S) and glucose in the regulation of insulin secretion from the beta cell of the Islets of Langerhans (Fig. 5). Each of these extracellular messengers stimulates insulin secretion under the appropriate conditions, but each does so by different mechanisms, allowing for a considerable range of responsiveness [28,29].
