The parallel plate geometry [1,3] offers uniform current density and potential distribution. The incorporation of this electrode geometry into a plate and frame cell body, particularly in a modular filter-press format, provides a versatile workhorse for many electrochemical reactors. Many developments start with a small, single cell before being scaled-up by increasing the electrode area and then by designing a multiple cell stack in a filter press stmcture. Parallel plate cells have many advantages ...

If the analyses are to be performed on board, the room in which the samples are prepared and analysed should, in fact, be built as a clean room. Many modern oceanographic vessels are constructed to accept modular laboratories, which can be removed between voyages. Clean room modules, complete with air conditioning and filtered air supply, have been built for several vessels. It is possible to perform accurate, precise microanalyses on board ship under less favourable conditions, but the analyst is really fighting the odds. 

The memory organization of DSPs are also different from ordinary processors because (1) Memory is typical static RAM and virtual memory support is totally absent (2) Several machines separate data and instruction streams (Harvard Architecture) (at the cost of extra pins). Additionally, modular arithmetic address modes have been added to most processors. This mode finds particular utility in filter coefficient pointers, ring buffer pointers and, with bit reversed addressing, FFTs. One further difference is the use of loop buffers for filtering. Although often called instruction caches by the chip manufacturers, they are typically very small (for example, the AT T DSP-16 has 16 instructions) and furthermore, the buffer is not directly interposed between memory and the processor. 

A complete U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) particulate sampling system comprises four major subsystems (1) a Pitot tube probe assembly for temperature and velocity measurements and for sampling, (2) a two-module sampling unit that consists of a separate heated compartment with provision for a filter assembly and a separate ice-bath compartment for the impinger train and bubblers, (3) an operating control unit with a vacuum pump and a standard dry gas meter, and (4) an integrated, modular umbilical cord that connects the sample unit and Pitot tube to the control unit.

Dr. Honie (41) produces two basic units which are shown in Figure 31, the Sol 2, (A) Compact Solar Simulator, table-top series and Sol 500, (B), stand-alone modular units. Both units are powered by the company s proprietary, iron-based, air-cooled, metal-halide lamps. The SOL 2 and SOL 500 use 400 W bulbs whereas the SOL 1200 and 2000 units use 1000 and 2000 W air-cooled, bulbs, respectively. All SOL units are ozone free and have a total test area of approximately 1400 cm. The spectral range covered is from 295 to 3000 nm but can be varied with the use of alternate filters, which are available.

There are many filter configurations within the industry, such as sheet or modular depth filter types for prefiltration purposes, flat filter membranes mainly for microbial detection and, specifications, and, most commonly, filter cartridges containing either depth filter fleeces or membrane filters. Such membrane filters are available in a large variety of membrane polymers for different applications. These materials are discussed later in the chapter.
