FAST cycle

Similarly, with cycling temperatures, large fast cycles can cause discomfort. To avoid this, if the time to complete one cycle is less than 15 minutes and the peak-to-peak temperature variation is greater than 1.1 °C, the average rate of temperature change should be less than 2.2 °C/h (Fig. 5.9). Very slow rates of temperature change dT/dt < 0.5 °C/h) are much less difficult to adjust to and the change can go unnoticed until the temperature is beyond the comfort zone temperature. 

Thermoplastic RPs (RTPs), even with their relatively lower properties when compared to thermoset RPs (RTSs), consume about 55wt% of all RP products. Practically all of the RTPs are injection molded with very fast cycles using short glass fiber producing highly automated and high performance products. 

The RIM process involves the high-pressure impingement mixing of two or more reactive liquid components and injection of the mixture into a closed mold at low pressures. Large and thick products can be molded using fast cycles with relatively low-cost materials. Its low energy requirements with relatively low investment costs make RIM attractive (9). 

The formation of colloidal sulfur occurring in the aqueous, either alkaline or acidic, solutions comprises a serious drawback for the deposits quality. Saloniemi et al. [206] attempted to circumvent this problem and to avoid also the use of a lead substrate needed in the case of anodic formation, by devising a cyclic electrochemical technique including alternate cathodic and anodic reactions. Their method was based on fast cycling of the substrate (TO/glass) potential in an alkaline (pH 8.5) solution of sodium sulfide, Pb(II), and EDTA, between two values with a symmetric triangle wave shape. At cathodic potentials, Pb(EDTA)2 reduced to Pb, and at anodic potentials Pb reoxidized and reacted with sulfide instead of EDTA or hydroxide ions. Films electrodeposited in the optimized potential region were stoichiometric and with a random polycrystalline RS structure. The authors noticed that cyclic deposition also occurs from an acidic solution, but the problem of colloidal sulfur formation remains. 

In the beginning there is a general loop to decide if more lot sizing procedures should be applied to the existing quant network to meet the constraint of the minimum batch sizes of products. Then the quant network is examined, free usable stocks and free quantities of quants are made available. The material balances of any quant are calculated and decisions are taken whether quants require further explosions of their BOM. Structures for a fast cycle checking, sorting of existing quants and quant links and forecast intervals are built up. A recalculation of the due dates for all quants - also the ones of orders - can be done if specified by the user. 

Tandem mass spectrometric methods have demonstrated superb specificity because of their ability to isolate analytes selectively in the presence of endogenous interferences. Attempts to further increase sample throughput led to the idea of using LC/MS/MS without the LC. Traditional chromatographic separations were replaced with flow injection analysis (FLA) or nanoelectrospray infusion techniques. The MS-based columnless methods attracted a lot of attention because of their inherent fast cycle times and no need for LC method development. 

A different approach to the preparation of preferentially oriented surfaces on polycrystalline systems has been demonstrated by Sumino and Shibata [219]. It has been shown that a fast-cycling treatment...
