When network weights have been trained to appropriate values, the NSC is ready to start classifying. The data set to be classified is specified in the same manner as previously used for the training and validation sets. The classifier is applied to data through the use of a menu and generates a list including filenames, suggested class and the neuron outputs from the output layer (used for decision). The result is currently presented in a simple text editor, from which it can be saved and included in other documents. 

Personal computers have introduced new ways to handle pdvate biblographic and text files. The most important factors to consider to achieve satisfactory results in building a bibhographic or text database are the type of information to be stored and the needs of the user. Types of information include correspondence, research results and documentation, meeting notes, and bibliographic references. Needs of the user to be considered should include the potential number of users of the database, restrictions for the access and display of the information because of privacy or proprietary reasons, and the retrieval mechanisms (eg, by keyword, authority list, controUed vocabulary, author, tide, date, or other document or information attributes). In addition, criteria for selecting and encoding information for the database need to be established. 

A distinct difference between examiners citations on granted U.S. patents and those on pubHshed patent appHcations is that the latter can indeed represent direct anticipation. Thus they represent a close subject relationship to the document in question. An important factor in the citations on EPO and PCT appHcations is that they are categorized by the examiner with regard to their relevance documents of particular relevance in themselves, documents of particular relevance in combination with some other document(s), and documents defining the general state of the art but of no particular relevance in themselves. Clearly not aH citations have the same value. 

The quahty manual should be organized to faciUtate referral to the quahty system standard. It should be brief and refer to other documentation for more detail. The manual should be under document control, ie, each page is uniquely identified as to date or revision number and its preparer. It is common practice to offer customers a copy of the manual upon request, ie, the manual should not be proprietary. 

In 1964, B. F. Skinner observed that Education is what survives when what has been learnt has been forgotten [219]. Another survivor is information appearing in such documents as company practices and published codes. Recommendations of uncertain origin are in some cases copied from previous editions or from other documents without thorough re-evaluation. 

Contractors/subcontractors shall prepare and submit reports of the work as required. This may include daily technical reports, invoices, or other documents. 

All correspondence, inspection reports, and other documents pertaining to the project, particularly those validating visits and inspections conducted by outside enforcement agencies, shall be kept in the project file. 

For a quality manual to be a manual it should contain the procedures and instructions, as does a computer manual or a car maintenance manual, so whether one volume of the manual contains or refers to other documents does not prevent the collection of documents being referred to as the quality manual. Manuals tend to include operating instructions, hence the word manual. The quality manual should therefore contain all the policies and practices but not necessarily in one volume. 

By producing a quality plan or a verification plan that identifies the verification stages from product conception to delivery and further as appropriate, and refers to other documents that define the specific requirements at each stage... 

Don t divorce the quality system documents from other documents of your business - develop an integrated system. 

In addition to the documents that serve product manufacture and installation or service delivery, documents may also be required for maintenance and operation. The product descriptions, handbooks, operating manuals, user guides, and other documents which support the product or service in use are as much a part of the design as the other product requirements. Unlike the manufacturing data, the support documents may be published either generally or supplied with the product to the customer. The design of such documentation is critical to the success of the product, as poorly constructed handbooks can be detrimental to sales. 

An aspect not covered by the standard is the effect of one change on other documents. It is important to maintain compatibility between documents. When evaluating the change you should assess the impact of the requested change on other areas and initiate the corresponding changes in the other documents. 

Provide a means of evaluating the effects that a change in one document has on other documents. 

While the ISO 9001 requirement applies only to quality records, ISO/TS 16949 extends retention times for many other documents because you cannot demonstrate you have or had operations under control without specifications, plans, procedures, etc. You may also need to retain tools, jigs, fixtures, test software - in fact anything that is needed to repair or reproduce equipment in order to honor your long-term commitments. 

In addition, you may also want to revisit some of the flowcharts and other documentation you developed during systems design (Chapter 6). Training. Pilot participants must be properly trained otherwise the results of the pilot can be veiy misleading. Don t assume that you can defer training until later or that it doesn t pay to invest in training just to do a pilot. 

Basic data collection procedures need to be comprehensive and formalized. They should address completion of the collection forms, the filing and distribution of these forms, and retention requirements of data source materials and other documents. 

Depending on the requirements of local fire officers, statutory regulations and insurance bodies (or any other documents or bodies having jurisdiction), there may well be a need to address the clearance of smoke from escape routes, the control of smoke spread generally and the removal of smoke during and after firefighting activities. 

Any tests, photographs, samples or other documents relied upon ... 

CADD, a part of CAD, is the computer-assisted generation of working drawings and other documents. The CADD user generates graphics by interactive communication with the computer. The graphics are displayed on a video terminal and can be converted into hard copy by a printer or plotter. 

Any other documentation related to product quality, which is not mentioned elsewhere (e.g. microbiological controls on air and water). 

Summary and conclusions The Inspector(s) should state whether, within the scope of the inspection, the company operates in accordance with the EU GMP Rules provided, where relevant, that appropriate corrective actions are implemented and mention any other item to alert requesting authority. Reference may be made to conclusions recorded in other documents, such as the close-out letter, depending on national procedures. 

You may wish to refer to other documents, eg works rules, safety checklists, training programmes, emergency instructions, etc. 

All employees may not need to see all the other documents, but they must see the policy statement itself.

Today, much more than just data are produced electronically. Many documents needed for studies that fall under the Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) standards regulations are being managed electronically. These records include not only data, such as chromatographic data from automated electronic capture systems and raw data collected in electronic field notebooks, but also other documents, such as methods, protocols, reports and standard operating procedures (SOPs). Frequently, these records are generated, distributed, reviewed, and archived electronically. 

An organized document filing system must be maintained. This could be a paper file, an electronic document file, or a mixture of both. The equipment inventory system contains key information on the components of each system, their performance criteria and maintenance and calibration status. All documents including installation and performance documentation, as with other documents necessary to demonstrate the quality of the data, include SOPs for the qualification procedures, calibration, maintenance, personnel training, etc. If the manufacturer s operating, service, or maintenance manuals are used or cited in the operating procedures, copies of these manuals should be maintained. To facilitate retrieval, documentation should be stored in a central location and be indexed for easy retrieval.
