The changes described above also allowed much easier access to the high voltage cable for routine (6-month) owner directed, service operations, and provided better upper and lower x-ray cabinet and control cabinet ventilation. With the exception of the x-ray tubes, all the individual manufactured components, on all four systems are identical. There are very subtle differences in the warm-up/start-up sequence on the x-ray controllers on the newer systems due to model/year and x-ray tube differences. The last three systems were supplied with environmental type key-boards for the image processors and base-mounted , rather than conduit-mounted exterior warning indicators. The first system was subsequently upgraded to include the better keyboard and the external warning appliances/features.

To determine if a process unit is at steady state, a program monitors key plant measurements (e.g., compositions, product rates, feed rates, and so on) and determines if the plant is steady enough to start the sequence. Only when all of the key measurements are within the allowable tolerances is the plant considered steady and the optimization sequence started. Tolerances for each measurement can be tuned separately. Measured data are then collec ted by the optimization computer. The optimization system runs a program to screen the measurements for unreasonable data (gross error detection). This validity checkiug automatically modifies tne model updating calculation to reflec t any bad data or when equipment is taken out of service. Data vahdation and reconciliation (on-line or off-line) is an extremely critical part of any optimization system. 

This polymer first appeared commercially in 1965 (Parylene N Union Carbide). It is prepared by a sequence of reactions initiated by the pyrolysis of p-xylene at 950°C in the presence of steam to give the cyclic dimer. This, when pyrolysed at 550°C, yields monomeric p-xylylene. When the vapour of the monomer condenses on a cool surface it polymerises and the polymer may be stripped off as a free film. This is claimed to have a service life of 10 years at 220°C, and the main interest in it is as a dielectric film. A monochloro-substituted polymer (Parylene C) is also available. With both Parylene materials the polymers have molecular weights of the order of 500 000. 

Troubleshooting Fhe sequence of events carried out by a service engineer to determine the reason for faulty operation of a system. 

Some electronic equipment has self-calibration routines built in to the start-up sequence. This should be taken as an indication of serviceability and not of absolute calibration. The device should still be subject to independent calibration at a defined frequency. 

Process— The combination of people, equipment, materials, methods, and environment that produce output (product or service). A repeatable sequence of activities with measurable inputs and outputs. 

These laboratory tests may be followed by engine dynamometer tests (BS5117 Section 2.4 1985(1989)) and finally by road tests in working vehicles (BS 5117 Part 2 Section 2.5 1985 (1989)), thus completing the sequence of laboratory, field, service testing. 

Ion exchange plant should be put into regeneration and inspected for correct sequence timing, backwash rate, regenerant draw, rinse times, and slippage from the service valve. 

Control systems will play a key role in future distributed plants ]139,145]. As a rule of thumb, plants will be smaller and simpler, but the control systems will be much more advanced, of a standard not known today. Plant personnel for operation and managing will ultimately no longer be required, except for start-up, shutdown, and services. This is a shift from a regulatory to a servo role, supported by a sophisticated sequence control. Control is needed for safety issues, operability, and product quality control. Sensors have a central role to provide the information needed for control and modeling and simulation is needed for process models.

One last comment about pulse widths it is important that we know what the 90° pulse width is for the nuclei that we observe as accurate pulse widths are required for many pulse sequences (as mentioned previously). Failure to set these correctly may give rise to poor signal to noise or even generate artifacts in the spectrum. When instruments are serviced, these pulse widths are measured and entered into a table to ensure that the experiments continue to work in the future.
