FOCS

We introduce the dimensionless bending coordinates qr = t/XrPr anti qc = tAcPc ith Xt = (kT -r) = PrOir, Xc = sJ kcPc) = Pc nc. where cor and fOc are the harmonic frequencies for pure trans- and cis-bending vibrations, respectively. After integrating over 0, we obtain the effective Hamiltonian H = Ho + H, which is employed in the perturbative handling of the R-T effect and the spin-orbit coupling. Its zeroth-order pait is of the foim...

With years of research and development in the field of static drives, it is now possible to identify and separate the.se two parameters (f, and /, ) and vary them individually, as in a d.c. machine, to achieve extremely accurate speed control, even slightly better than in d.c. machines. In d.c. machines the armature current and the field strength arc also varied independently. A.C. machines can now be used to provide very precise speed control, as accurate as 0.001% of the set speed, with closed-loop feedback controls. This technique of speed control is termed I ield-oriented control (FOC) and is discussed below. 

FOC drives are capable of providing precise speed control and are used for applications calling for high performance and precision (e.g. machine tools, high-speed elevators, mine winders, rolling mills, etc.). These drives are capable of regulating a number of variables at the same instant such as speed, position, acceleration and torque. 

This is an alternative to FOC and can provide a very fast response. The choice of a static drive, whether through a simple V7/control, field-oriented phasor control or direct torque control with open or closed-loop control and feedback schemes, would depend upon the size of the machine, the range of speed control (whether required to operate at very low speeds, 5% and below), the accuracy of speed control and the speed of correction (response time). The manufacturers of such drives will be the best guide for the most appropriate and economical drive for a particular application or process line. 

These drives are normally open loop (sensor-less) without encoder. For higher regulation, it is better to adopt a two-phasor control, such as a field-oriented control (FOC) or a direct torque control (DTC) drive.

Both FOCS and FOBS rely on optical fiber waveguides which have become available in adequate quality in the late 1970s. In fact, they are so good now that sensing without intermittent amplification has become posssible over distances as large as 10 km. Clearly, this was only possible once the respective laser sources have become available. 

This section covers early indirect fiber optic chemical sensors (FOCS) for species that cannot be sensed directly but require the use of indicators, probes, labeled biomolecules, or color-forming reactions. 

Peterson et al.52 were the first to demonstrate sensing of oxygen in-vivo. The FOCS for measuring p02 consisted of two 250-pm strands of plastic... 

Numerous other FOCS schemes have been described for heavy metals in the past 20 years (for reviews, see 113-115). In looking at the more recent literature one may state, however, that some of the newly described "chemistries" perform hardly better than the rather old commercial systems based on the use of dry reagent chemistries, with the additional advantage that they are compatible with a single instrument for read-out. In fact, some of the newer systems involve rather extensive chemistry and - worst of all -seem to strongly differ in terms of spectroscopy and analytical wavelengths so that they all require their own opto-electronic platform. On the other hand, there is substantial need for (low-cost) sensors for less common...

In conclusion, it can be said that the past 20 years have seen a tremendous leap forward in the technologies leading to FOCS and FOBS. 

The signal conversion, occurring in the fibre optic chemical sensors (FOCS), proceeds in several steps, which are shown in Figure 1. 

The aim of this tutorial is to present briefly some of the optoelectronic elements, which can be used for designing of the interfaces for FOCS. More details on optoelectronic devices can be found in the references6 8. Special attention is placed on the appropriate spectral matching of these elements in order to obtain a sensor exhibiting optimal measuring properties such as dynamic range, sensitivity etc.
