Generic services

This section is focused primarily on source and detector technologies. For some applications the source or the detector actually defines the entire measurement technology, for example tunable lasers (source) and array spectrographs (detector). There are other important technologies to consider, especially in the area of data acquisition, control, computer, and communication technologies. These are rapidly changing areas and, if viewed generically, service all forms of instrumentation. Where practical, companies tend to use standard platforms. But for certain applications where performance is critical, there is still a case for proprietary solutions. 

Before a project can be started, some preparation is needed. In the past, it was often the case that RE methods assumed that RE was performed for a specific customer, who could sign off a requirements specification. However, RE is actually performed in a variety of contexts, including market-driven product development and development for a specific customer with the eventual intention of developing a broader market. The type of product will also affect the choice of method RE for information systems is very different from RE for embedded control systems, which is different again from RE for generic services such as networking and operating systems. 

Thus, major dimensions of a generic service value network approach to an e-pharmacy-based services support strategy are identifiable (Hamilton, 2004a, 2004b, 2005a Hamilton Selen, 2005). 

Consider bundling generic services but be careful with highly technical or unique knowledge activities—they may not make sense to bundle.

Additionally, the EPA pubhshes a newsletter entitled Pollution Prevention News that contains information including EPA news, technologies, program updates, and case studies. The EPA s Risk Reduction Engineering Laboratoiy and the Center for Environmental Research Information has pubhshed several guidance documents, developed in cooperation with the California Department of Health Services. The manuals supplement generic waste reduction information presented in the EPA s Waste Minimization Opportunity Assessment Manual (Ref. 9). 

The quality system developed to meet the requirements of ISO/TS 16949 is likely to be a generic system, not specific to any particular product, project, or contract other than the range of products and services which your organization supplies. By implementing the policies and procedures of the documented quality system, product, project, or contract specific plans, procedures, specifications, etc. are generated. ISO 9001 contains a series of quality system requirements, not product quality requirements. For a given product, project, or contract there will be specific product, project, or contract requirements and it is these requirements to which this clause of the standard refers. 

Generically there are two types of requirements defining requirements and verification requirements. Defining requirements specify the features and characteristics required of a product, process, or service. (Within the standard these are termed specified requirements.) These may be wholly specified by the customer or by the supplier or a mixture of the two. Verification requirements specify the requirements for verifying that the defining requirements have been achieved and again may be wholly specified by the customer or by the supplier or a mixture of the two. With verification requirements, how-... 

Many data cells in the CCPS Taxonomy use equipment boundaries found in available generic data sets in which equipment and service is similar to that in the CPI. The boundaries established for other data cells were generally combinations of normal equipment modules—such as pump, seals, coupling, motor and base plate, or refrigeration units—and functionally interdependent basic and auxiliary components, such as motor controllers. Boundaries may change as greater amounts of equipment reliability data become available. 

The review of the data portion of the Indian Point 2 (IP2) and 3 (IPS) PRA (a 1982 internal document prepared by Consolidated Edison and the New York Power Authority) is confined to the plant-specific and generic component failure and service hour data sections because these were the only segments available to the reviewers. The LERs produced during a ten-year span of IP2 s operation were evaluated to determine their applicability to the PRA data needs. It was eventually decided to use only the LERs generated after IP2 became critical (from May 23, 1973 to December 31, 1979) for the component data base development, based on the availability of failure event information and more uniform operability, testing, and reporting criteria. 

Opening segments of the IP2 PRA data analysis section describe the definitions of terms and concepts employed, the assumptions made, and limitations recognized during the data base construction. A set of 39 plant-specific component failure mode summaries established the basis for component service hour determinations, the number of failures, and the test data source for each failure mode given for each component. Generic data from WASH-1400, IEEE Std 500, and the LER data summaries on valves, pumps, and diesels were combined with plant-specific failure data to produce "updated" failure information. All the IP2 specialized component hardware failure data, both generic and updated, are contained in Table 1.5.1-4 (IP3 1.6.1-4). This table contains (by system, component, and failure mode) plant-specific data on the number of failures and service hours or demands. For some components, it was determined that specifications of the system was warranted because of its impact on the data values.

Assist in Standardization of Nomenclature. The profusion of trade names, initials, numbers, and combinations thereof for pesticides contributes to misuse and errors in the handling of these preparations. The coining of common or generic names for pesticides is a recent and commendable innovation in this field of science. It presents many problems which require the services of many groups. The many years of experience of the Council on Pharmacy and Chemistry in the development of generic names for drugs is at the disposal of the committee in its consideration of nomenclature problems.

This price cap is established in the form of a price index for a set (or a series of subsets) of the services offered by the regulated company, excluding those offered on competitive markets (for example, generics). 

Java provides a light-weight serialization mechanism the implementor need do no additional work for objects to serialize and restore themselves correctly. The mechanism uses the underlying reflection services to implement generic save and restore functionality only once.
