FAST system

For pressure, slow and fast systems are compared. An example of a slow system is control of the pressure of compressible gas in a large process volume. A fast system could be the pressure of fuel oil (incompressible liquid) supply to a burner. For flow, a single set of settings is recommended. 

Prototyping basically provides a 3-D model suitable for use in the preliminary evaluation of form, design, performance, and material processing of products, molds, dies, etc. When properly used this automatic/fast system can accelerate product development, improve product quality, and time to the market for a product. 

Another programming consideration is the effective use of the I/O channel between the ST-100 and the host. With a VAX host, the data transfer rates are less than 1 megabit/second. This precludes the possibility of having a fast system where the three-dimensional coordinates are transferred from the host to the ST-100 and the subsequently computed energies and forces retrieved from the ST-100 on every step. The GEMM package has been designed to minimize synchronous data transfers. In an ideal situation, the ST-100 runs without direction from the host, and data that need to be saved are streamed to the host while the ST-100 continues to produce new data. 

Drugs are administered by various means from oral to intravenous to topical. The oral route is a relatively slow process where a drug must be absorbed across the GI tract and then passed through the liver and metabolized before it becomes available to bind to receptors and perform its intended function. On the other hand, intravenous application is quick but has the potential of fast systemic reaction if adverse reactions occur. In the case of topical administration, the effects of the drug are localized. 

All the above mechanisms can be called the simplest catalytic oscillators. In all these mechanisms self-oscillations of the reaction rate are realized due to the combination of the fast system of steps (adsorption mechanism) leading to the sharp change in the number of unoccupied surface sites and of the "slow reversible step ensuring self-oscillations of their concentration. If the parameters of the "buffer step are sufficiently small compared with those of the main mechanism, all these oscillations will be typically relaxa-tional. 

Remark 2.3. Conditions (i) and (ii) describe a strong stability property of the boundary layer (fast) system (2.17). Note that, if x2 is sufficiently close to x.2(t = 0), then condition (ii) encompasses condition (i). Also, the condition... 

Remark 2.4. In a general nonlinear system, there may be several distinct solutions X2i G 1,..., k. In such a case, one focuses on a particular solution and the corresponding representation for the slow subsystem (2.13) in an appropriate neighborhood. The choice of a particular quasi-steady-state solution depends on the initial condition x x . The solution of the fast system will... 

Equation (A.22) indicates that the system response is bounded by the time constant t, which measures how quickly a small increase in the system s exergy storage would dissipate due to a corresponding increase in the rate of entropy production. A small time constant means a fast system response and an opportunity for tight control. This occurs... 

Therefore, a system suitability test with a known set of probes such as MIX 1 could be used as an internal test to provide further conhdence in regard to the batch-to-batch reproducibility of the packing material and/or to observe if the bonded phase has been compromised. This could also be used to probe the lot-to-lot reproducibility of new types of stationary phases that are available on the market. Once this simple and fast system suitability test is performed with MIX 1 and acceptable results are obtained using a set of defined acceptance criteria, the analysts may commence with his/her analytical method and run the specihc system suitability test stated in the method for their particular target pharmaceutical analyte.

Most studies of the kinetics of the isocyanate-hydroxyl reacfion have been done in systems composed of monofunctional reactants in various solvents (2 ). Even in these ideal systems, which have little resemblance to the more complicated polyurethane formulations, the reaction mechanism and kinetics are not well understood especially for the catalyzed reaction. This coupled with the added complexities encountered in polyurethane systems requires empirical determination of kinetic data if conversion during polymerization is to be predicted. A few kinetic studies on simple polyurethane systems have been reported (3, 4 ). Infrared spectroscopy was used to measure reaction rates in low catalyst formulations (3) while adiabatic temperature rise methods have been used to study fast systems (3 4, 5 ).

The first and most well-known feature is the adequacy of the integral methods for calculating space-dependent flux distribution in heterogeneous geometries. This characteristic can be essential for accurate calculations of reactivity worth of small samples in fast systems [see Foell s monograph (2) and its references]. The heterogeneity is due to the perturbing sample as well as to the inherent structure of the unperturbed reactor. 

Thus for a method taking one step of the fast system followed by a step of the slow system, using fixed step size /i > 0, we can write the update scheme for z = [q,pV as...
