Highly automated driving

Rake drive controls protec t the drive mechanism from damage and usually incorporate an alarm to indicate high torque with an interlock to shut down the drive at a higher torque level. They can have an automated rake raising and lowering feature with a device to indicate the elevation of the rakes. 

Specifically, within the aerospace industry, for aircraft, the airframe manufacture itself is one of the major cost drivers, using the factors already addressed. Let s look at the character of how we would build an aerospace vehicle. There is typically a lot of manpower dependence. The industry itself is cyclic because the demands ebb and flow. There is typically little automation simply because of relatively low production rates, and there are very few customers. But, despite all those characteristics, there is typically also a large capacity that is founded on many highly skilled personnel, and the orientation is much more high tech than that of most other industries. Without product excellence as a driving factor, the whole industry would be an unworkable mess. 

Finally, the fourth element is a widened scope of application. The fact that LC/MS is now routinely used during every stage of drug development is a powerful benchmark for acceptance. The increased performance of applications that incorporate LC/MS have, in turn, stimulated new performance levels for sample preparation, high speed separations, automated analysis, information databases, and software tools, to name a few. Motivated by unmet industry needs, the drive for new applications has stimulated tremendous growth in pharmaceutical analysis marked by invention and creativity. 

Automated synthesis of peptide and oligonucleotide libraries was initiated about 10 years ago [4], Within the last three years, there has been much attention focused on the generation of combinatorial libraries of small molecules. As with biopolymers, the use of solid resin support was central to the advance of this field. In solid-phase synthesis, one of the reactants is covalently bound to the solid support and an excess of the other reactants may be used in each step to drive reactions to completion. Purification of the intermediates and final product is easily achieved through extensive washing of the resin after each chemical step. For the purpose of high throughput synthesis, cleavage of the final...
