Section A. Fundamentals

Typical ionic hquids consist of a cation and an anion represented in Figure 17.2 [11, 12]. However, as described in the previous section, a fundamental electrochemical property such as high electrolytic conductivity is required for ionic liquids in their use as a hquid electrolyte. Many combinations of heterocyclic cations and various anions have been examined, and the ionic compounds containing the l-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium cation (EMl ) have generally showed the highest conductivity. No cation better than EMl has been found. 

The frequency spectrum of the analysed microphone signals consists of a stochastic, broad spectrum of noise contributions and of the narrow spectrum of rotation frequencies of the turbomachinery. The compressor section contributes a fundamental frequency of 2800 Hz and the turbine section a fundamental frequency of 4200 Hz. The averaged total sound power within the helium-circuit and its piping increases with the power of the drive motor up to a maximum level of 160 dB. The total sound power as dependant on the drive power at measuring point 13 is shown in Fig 28. 

We must now discuss how the terms y and are obtained in practice when a regression line is used for calibration as described in the preceding sections. A fundamental assumption of the unweighted least-squares method is that each point on the plot (including the point representing the blank or backgroimd) has a normally distributed... 

As mentioned in the previous section, a fundamental requirement for correlation techniques is that the objects of a data set. the data points, have to be described by a fixed number of variables. This number can vary from experiment to experiment, but not within one run. Whereas a fixed-length representation of a spectrum can easily be achieved, the representation of molecular structures (see Structure Representation) is much more difficult, because each molecule has to be transformed into a fixed-length code independent of the size of the molecule and the number of atoms involved. In addition, it can easily be understood that the quality of the correlation results is highly dependent on the information content of the code. Since every structure coding procedure causes a loss of information, it must be ensured that the code still contains those aspects of structure information that are important for correlation with the spectral properties. In our case, the code has to describe the properties of a molecule that cause the individual patterns of an IR spectrum. Different approaches to meeting these requirements have been reported in literature.
