To evaluate the image quality of the processing system, one can determine classical parameters like spatial resolution, contrast resolution, dynamic range, local and global distortion. Guidelines for film digitization procedures have been well described now. Furthermore, a physical standard film for both equipment assessment and digitization calibration and control, will be available in a next future (4). 

One more significant aspect of modem microscopy is the quantitative interpretation of the images in terms of the microstmcture of the object. Although most microscopes include or can be combined with powerful image processing systems, the interpretation of the contrast is still the main problem. On the other hand, reliable micromorpbological information could be easily obtained from a set of thin flat cross sections which reveal only density information, from which case accurate two- and three-dimensional numerical parameters of the internal microstmcture could be calculated. 

The characterization of probe contributes to understanding the probe behaviour and gives the probe features as well. We have illustrated though different examples how to manage to limit the measurements to what is strictly necessary. We think that many things are still to do either to simplify with automatic process system existing procedures or to imagine different tests. 

Correlative signal processing in MIA pulse flaw detectors is an effective way to increase the sensitivity and signal to noise ratio. Instruments with such processing system should be provided with a device for adjusting and sustaining initial phases of both current and reference pulses.

Aseptic processing systems have found wide use for packing juices and milk products for the retail market and for the bulk preservation of tomato paste and fmit sHces for use as ingredients. Further information on aseptic processing can be found in the Hterature (2). 

Polyethylene. This is essentially a closed-ceU insulation manufactured at 448 2 K by an extmsion process. A blowing agent and nucleating agent are employed to control the ceU size, and primary use is in insulating pipelines for hot and chilled water lines, air conditioning, and processing systems. 

Separation is done between 32 and 38°C, although temperatures as high as 71°C are acceptable. Cold milk separators, which have less capacity at lower temperatures, may be used in processing systems in which the milk is not heated. 

The multiplicity of nylon blends, processing systems, and uses requires a large variety of staple types. Tex per filament may be 0.1—2 (1—20 den), the cross section may be round or modified, the luster may be bright or dull, crimp may be present or absent, and the fiber may be heat-set or not, depending on its use. The staple length is about 4 cm for cotton system processing, 5—7 cm for the woolen system, 8—10 cm for the worsted system, and about 18—20 cm for carpet staple. 

The quahty of an analytical result also depends on the vaUdity of the sample utilized and the method chosen for data analysis. There are articles describiag Sampling and automated sample preparation (see Automated instrumentation) as well as articles emphasizing data treatment (see Chemometrics Computer technology), data iaterpretation (see Databases Imaging technology), and the communication of data within the laboratory or process system (see Expert systems Laboratory information managet nt systems). 

Overlay Proofing. Overlay proofing systems can be categorized as wet- or dry-processed systems. The negative working wet-processed systems are generally composed of polymeric diazo resin salts (haUdes or heavy metal), which after photolysis form an insoluble adduct. 

Process Systems. Because of the large number of variables required to characterize the state, a process is often conceptually broken down into a number of subsystems which may or may not be based on the physical boundaries of equipment. Generally, the definition of a system requires both definition of the system s boundaries, ie, what is part of the system and what is part of the system s surroundings and knowledge of the interactions between the system and its environment, including other systems and subsystems. The system s state is governed by a set of appHcable laws supplemented by empirical relationships. These laws and relationships characterize how the system s state is affected by external and internal conditions. Because conditions vary with time, the control of a process system involves the consideration of the system s transient behavior. 

Process systems are broadly categorized as self-regulatory and nonself-regulatory. The former is one in which a change in an external condition can cause the system to move from an initial steady state to another steady state without additional external intervention. The latter, a nonself-regulatory process system, does not achieve another steady state without additional control action once the first external change occurs. 

The dynamics of the secondary control loop should be approximately two to four times as fast as the dynamics of the primary control loop in order to achieve stable control. The secondary controller is actually part of the primary controller s process system. Hence, changes in the secondary controller tuning constants change the process system of the primary controller. Therefore, cascade control loops should always be tuned by first tuning the secondary controller and then the primary controller. If the secondary controller tuning is changed for any reason, the primary controller may need to be retuned also.
