Whereas intelligent control comprises the aforementioned computer technology, control methods, and sensors, the control methods and advances in them are the focus of this chapter. Sensors parallel control methods in their importance to intelligent control of product quality, but a discussion of them is left to other works [1-8]. The control methods discussed in this chapter are on-line supervisory control methods, as opposed to regulatory control methods. The latter are commonly used, for example, to keep the operation of an autoclave in control When a ramp in temperature is called for, regulatory control methods govern the autoclave in achieving that ramp however, the supervisory control determines the ramp rate in order to influence product quality. 

In the case of chemical and physico-chemical tests, unless otherwise specified, the technical inspection must start with at least two measured amounts, or two mutually corroborating determinations, in other tests, it is necessary to start with at least two parallel performed control determinations. 

Collins et al (1986) used five stirred UF cells in parallel to determine the apparent IVIW of HS. This method was found to provide a relative comparison for samples. Shaw et al (1994) compared UF with dialysis. UF showed larger compounds in the permeate, whereas only smaller compounds than the MWCO were found with dialysis. Dialysis is purely diffusion controlled. This was attributed to tbe effects of pressure and stirring in UF which may have lead to a sub-division of molecules, although diffusion coefficients could also have played a major role. 

The control technique of fuel distribution in uranium - graphite fiael elements seems to be most perform. The technique allows to determine weight of uranium or its connections in a chosen zone of fuel elements. There were used the sources of radiation on a basis radionuclide Am. The weight of uranium in fuel element or its parts is determined by combine processing of a tomograms, set received on several parallel layers of fuel element. The comparative results of tomographic researches and chemical analysis of weight of uranium in quarters of spherical fuel elements are resulted in the table. 

In the case of parallel reactions, the fastest reaction will set or control the overall change. In all rate determining cases, the relative speed of the reactions will change with the temperature. This is caused by different energies of activation among the steps in the sequence. This is just one more reason for limiting rate predictions from measurements within the studied domain to avoid extrapolation.

The simplest case to be analyzed is the process in which the rate of one of the adsorption or desorption steps is so slow that it becomes itself rate determining in overall transformation. The composition of the reaction mixture in the course of the reaction is then not determined by kinetic, but by thermodynamic factors, i.e. by equilibria of the fast steps, surface chemical reactions, and the other adsorption and desorption processes. Concentration dependencies of several types of consecutive and parallel (branched) catalytic reactions 52, 53) were calculated, corresponding to schemes (Ila) and (lib), assuming that they are controlled by the rate of adsorption of either of the reactants A and X, desorption of any of the products B, C, and Y, or by simultaneous desorption of compounds B and C. 

In some cases the original reaction with a slow rate-determining step may continue in parallel with the catalyzed reaction. However, the rate is determined by the faster path, which governs the overall rate of formation of products. A very slow elementary reaction does not control the rate if it can be sidestepped by a faster one on an alternative (usually catalyzed) path (Fig. 13.35). 

The quality control of immunoglobuhns includes potency tests and conventional tests of safety and sterihty. The potency tests consist of neutrahzation tests that parallel those used for the potency assay of immunosera, except that in the cases of some immimoglobulins the assays are made in vitro, fit addition to the safety and sterihty tests, total protein is determined by nitrogen estimations, the protein composition by... 

In their broadest application, CRMs are used as controls to verify in a direct comparison the accuracy of the results of a particular measurement parallel with this verification, traceability may be demonstrated. Under conditions demonstrated to be equal for sample and CRM, agreement of results, e.g. as defined above, is proof. Since such possibilities for a direct comparison between samples and a CRM are rare, the user s claims for accuracy and traceability have to be made by inference. Naturally, the use of several CRMs of similar matrix but different analyte content will strengthen the user s inference. Even so, the user stiU has to assess and account for all uncertainties in this comparison of results. These imcertainty calculations must include beyond the common analytical uncertainty budget (i) a component that reflects material matrix effects, (2) a component that reflects differences in the amount of substance determined, (3) the uncertainty of the certified or reference value(s) used, and 4) the uncertainty of the comparison itself AU this information certainly supports the assertion of accuracy in relation to the CRM. However, the requirement of the imbroken chain of comparisons wiU not be formally fulfilled. 

A final special case may occur during the validation of common moiety methods. Based on the normal set of recovery experiments (two control samples, five samples fortified at the LOQ and five samples fortified at 10 times the LOQ), in total 12 samples have to be analyzed per matrix and analyte. A typical intention of common moiety methods is their suitability for the parallel determination of residues of the parent compound and a broad spectrum of metabolites. In the common moiety method discussed above for residues of spiroxamine, validation experiments were performed with four compounds. This results in at least 48 experiments per matrix. Assuming a normal...
