The formula for this calculation is very simple and very accurate. It requires three factors (1) the difference in temperature of the machine housing between the feet and shaft bearings, (2) the distance between the shaft centerline and the feet, and (3) the coefficient of thermal expansion of the machine housing material. The thermal... 

Materials handling applications can be made wherever materials are transported, positioned, or.stored, the most extensive use being in mahufg. Manufg involves elements of motion, time, quantity, and space motion to transport materials between work stations, time to process and handle materials, quantity to establish work schedules and.material flow rates, and space to house materials, machines, and employees. The...

In-house materials development is most prevalent in the microelectronics industry, even down to polymer substrates for circuit lithography. Here, companies such as AT T and IBM have established some of the most impressive polymer science laboratories in the world to design and develop polymer systems for their own microelectronic products. They recover their development costs from the margins on final products. 

Quality assurance considerations lead to the need for appropriate reference materials, and their consistent and effective use to monitor the precision and accuracy of laboratory analyses. In this context, certified reference materials (CRMs), now still largely lacking in the polymer/additive area, play an important role. In previous years, some attempts have been undertaken to prepare some inorganic CRMs (VDA and PERM projects), but this is highly insufficient when we consider that some 60 elements are used in polymer/additive formulations. The lack of CRMs for organic compounds in polymeric matrices is an even more serious handicap. Nagoumey and Madan [122] have demonstrated that intermediate or finished in-house materials can be utilised successfully as QA reference materials. Good QC of polymer/additive formulations as yet has not been achieved. 

Independent Methods. In the absence of appropriate certified reference materials one may have to rely upon in-house materials that can be analyzed by independent methods (other than the candidate method). These independent methods should include a reference method and other methods that utilize different physical/chemical principles for analyte quantification. Reference methods are generally arrived at by concensus following extensive accuracy testing by a large number of laboratories. The American Society of Testing Materials (ASTM) is one of the largest compilers of reference methods. Additional information on the use of reference methods may be found in a paper by Cali and Reed (.2),... 

Collaborative Testing. A second approach to assessing accuracy, when no certified reference material is available, may be used in conjunction with analysis by independent methods and in-house materials. Sample exhanges with other laboratories can help establish the existence or absence of systematic errors in a method. Collaborative tests are most useful in this regard when some of the participating laboratories use different sample preparation and quantification. The utility of independent analysis methods and comparisons between destructive and non-destructive analysis is again emphasized here. 

If a Reference Material (RM), without a certified value or if an in-house material is used, there is no certified, traceable value. However, the procedure is the same. The value assigned to the material by the laboratory itself is the best available estimate for the tme value. Of course the determination of trueness is not as reliable as with a CRM. 

Use of certified reference materials for this purpose is possible, but actually it is not an appropriate use of the material. It is better and more economical to use in-house materials of adequate homogeneity and stability (see chapter 13).

Another important use of CRMs is for the validation of in-house reference materials. Since CRMs are fairly expensive and perhaps not as specific as necessary for certain analysis, it would be cost-effective to prepare in-house reference materials when possible. By analyzing a specific sample (that is homogenous and available in a reasonably large quantity) along with a similar CRM, traceability of the found value is established to the certified value. Then this in-house material can be used as a complement to the CRM. A recently published procedure describes how to get the most complete information out of CRMs [16]. 

The date of the symposium on which this book is based marked the 15th anniversary of the severe petroleum shortage of 1973—1974. Much of the research presented in this volume was begun in the early 1970s in response to shortages of petroleum-based adhesives for the forest products industry when the nation was in the midst of a record-setting demand for housing materials. Left with this indelible memory, the forest products industry has supported the development of adhesives from renewable resources. 

A quality control sample, often known as a QC sample or check sample may be an in-house material prepared for this purpose or it may be from a previously analysed batch of samples.

Similar to these hard plastic applications, the use of elastomers has a number of advantages over silicon as biosensor housing material. Besides fabrication cost and brittleness as described above (PDMS is about 50 times less expensive than siUcon on a per volume basis), moving parts are extremely difficult to make in the stiff silicon material without increasing the overall size significantly. Also, valves, which will be discussed in more detail below, need a soft material as valve seat to close completely (thus, elastomers have to be...
