Fifteen papers are published following this two day international technical conference concerning plastics in medical and pharma applications. Papers include plastics in modem pharma packaging smart syringes bio-medical waste management PVC in medical application pre-filled syringes. 

Technologically it is important that smart battery packages, featuring power management by electronic devices within the battery package, are becoming a necessity due to the sensitive charging characteristics of Li and Ni-MeHy batteries, it should be noted that the same principles at a fraction of the cost have been successfully applied realized by simple reversal protection and overflow components by the low-cost RAM batteries. 

The expected contribution of catalysis in this area will derive both from the availability, at low processing costs, of new monomers obtained from biomasses and from the development of an optimized combination of biotechnology processes with classical and new biocatalytic processes. Research priorities for catalysis in the area of polymers from renewable materials for packaging, furniture, domestic water purification and recycling include the need to develop novel catalysts, e.g., for functionalization of polymeric and dendrimeric materials, with side-chain photoactive molecular switches (to be used as smart materials), or the development of multifunctional materials, combining, for example, nanofiltration with catalytic reactivity.

When purchasing system software, standard instruments, microcontrollers, smart instruments, and standard software packages, it is the practice of organizations to initially rely on the history of the supplier and the industry operating experience as assurance of the supplier capability of program performance suitability. 

Similarly to other software packages such as DISCO and Catalyst, Phase uses chemical features (hydrophobic, H-bond acceptors, H-bond donors, negative charge, positive charge, aromatic ring) to define the pharmacophore points called sites. These features are encoded in SMARTS and can be edited. H-bond-ing features are vectorized features (their directionality is considered). 

The process of evaluating the firm s overall operation, such as the laboratories, manufacturing sites, packaging and storage areas, quality systems, and personnel practices is usually a long one and may require an FDA team approach, as discussed above. Having invested in a third-party internal audit that mimics the FDA PAI process is extremely prudent and a smart investment of resources. 

To improve the accuracy of HTG systems, a third transmitter located at a fixed distance above the bottom transmitter can be used for density compensation (Figure 3.109). These tank expert packages, in addition to level, can also calculate mass, density, and volume on the basis of measurements from three or more d/p cells and one temperature transmitter. Most manufacturers offer optional digital communication and the ability for remote adjustments of suppression and linearization. "Smart" level transmitters can convert the level readings of spherical or cylindrical tanks into actual volume percentage readings (Figure 3.113). 

The potential for smart packaging for improvement of food quality and safety is very high. Although sensory evaluation is essential in the early stages of development, there is an important role for sensory evaluation simultaneously with analytical assessments of new materials in contact with food systems. New materials or novel applications of materials may deliver value in improved sensory quality or create unexpected sensory impact that may not be interpreted from analytical chemical or physical methods of assessment.

Applieation software may be both Commereial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) software as well as customized software. Applieation software ineludes the configuration of COTS packages (e.g., spreadsheets, smart operator interfaees) but not the off-the-shelf software package itself. Application software may require equipment to render it human-readable and may include ...
