Danfoss QueCheck Vision System performs a continuous analysis directly from the production line, typically at 0.5 s intervals. The final results of the measurement are available after 100-300 frames so that an equivalent sieve analysis is completed every 3 min. The particle size distribution is documented via an interface with database and printer. The material is fed in a fine stream, by means of a vibratory feeder, past a vision camera that calculates the size distribution as it falls. The system has been applied to measuring the size distribution of sugar crystals. Online image processing has also been applied to monitoring granule size distribution and shape in fluidized bed granulation [150]. 

Analytical pyrolysis requires heating of the sample at a temperature significantly higher than ambient. Commonly selected temperatures are between 500° C and 800° C, but for special purposes this temperature can be higher or lower. The pyrolytic process is done in a pyrolysis unit (pyrolyzer), which has a source of heat. The pyrolyzer is interfaced on-line or off-line with an analytical instrument, which is used for the measurement of the pyrolysis products. Common techniques applied for this purpose are gas chromatography (GC), gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS), mass spectrometry (MS), etc. Pyrolysis GC/MS (Py-GC/MS) is probably the most common technique in analytical pyrolysis. 

Ethanol, categorized as a supercommodity, can be converted to olefins such as ethylene for the production of the commodity plastic polyethylene, which provides a direct interface between the biorefinery and the conversion infrastructure of the petrochemical industry. The Braskem company has established the product line for biopolyethylene production. 

In addition, a solver alone does not solve the variability problems in industry because there is a strong need for a visualization that represents the solver results in an adequate way to the user. The visualization of product line models and their dependencies that represents the far end in product Une engineering has to deal with huge variability models and often an incredible number of constraints (more than 200,000) for a complete product line. To the best knowledge of the authors there is currently no tool with an appropriate user interface available able to visualize such models, their constraints and analysis results from a solver in an effective and efficient way. 

Due to the results of the process portfolio, the improvement of coordination between companies is focused. Web-based support of coordination processes facilitates efficient matching of business partners on different chain levels as well as efficient matching of product lines on one chain level. Improvement between chain levels can be realized through automation. The reduction of customer interfaces improves the organization on the distributing chain levels. 

Reduction of interfaces through bundling of information flows for product lines and business partners by matching, adds to improvement of order processing... 

It is essential to obtain first-hand information on customer likes, dislikes, preferences, and prejudices. Eyeball-to-eyeball discussion, question and answer, and examination of competitors trends and specifications are all useful inputs to tlie product designer. To a great extent, such input will depend on whetlier tliere are product line precedents already on tlie market or whetlier it is a product breaking new ground. Customer input is, nevertlieless, essential to success. The degree of difficulty with which tliis input is obtained varies enormously from the large on-off turnkey type of project where tlie designer will interface directly with tlie customer, to tlie mass-produced product where one will not. 

The product teams, though cross-functional, focus on a specific product, product line, or service. They are customer and vendor interface teams that are... 

Particularly from a quality management standpoint, control systems for the complete inspection of textile production within a spinning mill as well as open interfaces with suppliers and customers are necessary. Before the implementation of control systems, a phase model of the production process should be used to construct the textile production line and its partial processes. At present, these principles are already applied in OE-rotor spinning. The goal is to implement this processing strategy in the entire textile production process. 

The burner assemblies are typically constructed of joined cast iron segments and are water-cooled with either internal or external channels to prevent burner deflection due to thermal expansion. Control of ribbon burner energy output is primarily achieved by managing the air/gas mix, system air pressure and the burner (rib-bon/flat) design. As production line speed increases, ribbon burner BTU output must increase commensurately. However, the gap between the burner face and material typically needs to be adjusted with changes with BTU output such that the primary treatment zone (above the tips of the inner cones) interfaces with the treatment material. 

Broadly speaking, the machines have much the same periphery as those for SMD placement. They can be coupled to component feeders for the common types of SMD package or for special types (e.g., bare die). There are gripping tools for all the various types of package. Most of these tools are variations on the vacuum-pipette principle. The robots have the requisite interfaces and conveyor belts for integration into production lines. 

Automated production requires a workpiece carrier that can be used all the way along the production line. Consequently, the design is such that the carrier can be conveyed by the printed-circuit board conveyor to all the machines in the process chain. The appropriate number of workpiece carriers is required if production is to be continuous. An interface for energy supply and communication between the automatic machines and the workpiece carrier is necessary, particularly for the dispensing unit and the automatic placement machines. The electronics built into the workpiece carrier render it unsuitable for reflow soldering, so a handling step has to be included so that the MID can be lifted on to a separate, passive workpiece carrier for this process. This transfer can be manual or by means of an industrial robot such as the Scara robot. 

An extraction plant should operate at steady state in accordance with the flow-sheet design for the process. However, fluctuation in feed streams can cause changes in product quaUty unless a sophisticated system of feed-forward control is used (103). Upsets of operation caused by flooding in the column always force shutdowns. Therefore, interface control could be of utmost importance. The plant design should be based on (/) process control (qv) decisions made by trained technical personnel, (2) off-line analysis or limited on-line automatic analysis, and (J) control panels equipped with manual and automatic control for motor speed, flow, interface level, pressure, temperature, etc. 

The following discussion is primarily based upon EN6I000-3-2, which is more industrial-based products. EN60555 is the newer version of IEC-555 and covers the emitted harmonics of household products. Knowing the product class is very important for designing the power factor interface for the ac line. Products that draw less than 75 W today and 50 W in the near future, do not have to comply with the relative limits, only to absolute maximums laid out by the specifications. The limits presented in Table C-I may change, so please refer to the latest...
