Performance levels

Most laminated glass appHcations are concerned with impact strength, and minimum performance levels are required by specification. The impact strength of two pHes of laminated, aimealed glass and various PVB thicknesses are available (4). Aircraft laminates may utilise electrical resistance heating as deicing for vision enhancement. 

Economics and price of the final article often dictate a specific type of mbber that can be used. The expected usable life for the product is controlled by many factors including end customer awareness, competitive situation in the marketplace, safety, reUabiUty, and other factors. Rubber is almost always used as a functional part of another system. For example tires, hoses, belts, O-rings, and numerous mbber components are used in manufacturing automobiles and tmcks. The overall life of the vehicle as well as its performance level often control or direcdy relate to the service life or quaUty level of the mbber parts. 

Experienced and qualified people are essential to a company s performance level. Successful tolling operations may show evidence of proper personnel selection, career planning and advancement. 

Experienced and qualified people are important to the performance level of a company. Proper personnel selection and career planning are therefore complimentary to the success of a company. 

What-if analysis This program should allow the user to do various studies of plant operating scenarios to ascertain the expected performance level of the plant due to environmental and other operational conditions. 

With the constant competitive pressures on the petrochemical industry, it is important to operate all plant equipment at the best performance level possible. This is certainly true for compressors.

The primary indicator of acceptable performance is the quality of the product delivered by the mixer. Although there is no direct way to measure this indicator, feedback from the quality assurance group should be used to verify that acceptable performance levels are attained. 

Before an oil can be allocated any given API performance level it must satisfy requirements laid down for various engine tests. In the SG category, for example, the engine tests are as follows ... 

Reconditioning is the removal of contaminants and oxidation products (at least in part) but not previously incorporated additives. It may also involve the addition of new oil and/or additives to adjust the viscosity and/or performance level. This process is sometimes referred to as laundering or reclamation . The method treats used lubricating oil to render it suitable for further service, either in the original or a downgraded application. Two types of treatment are generally employed. 

Filtration to remove contaminants followed by the addition of new oil and/or additives to correct performance level ... 

The evaluation of competing chemistries and subsequent product selection may be difficult, and feed rates for the wide array of available phosphonates and novel homo-, co-, and terpolymers available vary considerably. Polymers do not control all types of contaminants at an equal performance level, and product selection depends on the type, level, and ratios of contaminants present. 

Nevertheless, extensive studies have shown that, with careful calibration and operation, extremely useful information that helps maintain utility boilers at knife-edge performance levels can be gleaned. Some generalizations resulting from monitoring dissolved or entrained hydrogen in FW and steam are ... 

Taken together, these performance levels represent a million-fold improvement over present-day computers. This means that the current rate of exponential growth in computing power will be sustained for another half century if carbon-based computers were to become commodity items by 2050. It may then be feasible to implement a finite-element model of a complete human at a cellular level.

Table 4 and Fig. 18 illustrate the performance levels achieved by the active players in DMFC R D. The main goal in DMFC research in the U.S. and European programs is to achieve a stable performance level of 200 mW/cm at a cell potential of 0.5 to 0.6 V. It is because of the relatively low activity of the electrocatalyst for methanol electrooxidation that this power level is less than half that of a PEMFC with Hj as a fuel. A higher power level of the DMFC is essential for a transportation application, but the present power level goal is quite adequate for small portable power sources. 

On NP tests of gross motor activity and fine motor speed, he was mildly impaired in comparison to adult norms. However, he was able to attain normal performance levels with practice and direct encouragement. It is important to note that all other NP tests of sensory, perceptual, and conceptual functions were in the normal range his minimal errors are often made by normal, nonimpaired 1 ndi vidua1s. 

The key point to remember, in the merits of year-round radon removal, is that there is no guarantee that radon problems will not be present even in the summer months. The radon levels found in individual houses are a complex result of radon source strength, soil transport, the number, size, and location of entry points, weather, and the way the house is operated.2 To be certain of maintaining low radon levels in the house normally requires that an SSD mitigation system works properly 24 h per day, 365 days per year. It is for this reason that durability and system performance are very important considerations. The performance level goal for the system is 100% on-time operation for the life of the building. This requires excellent durability of system components and a reliable means for determining whether the system is fully operational at all times. 

Startup is the time when the validity of all the approximations made in the design stage is tested in practice. It is also a test of the competency of the contractor and his crews, and of the ability of the equipment to meet its predicted performance levels. It is a time of stress when everyone is racking their brains trying to figure out why something is not responding as expected. It can also be a very expensive operation in terms of both time and money.
