Signal-flow graphs are useful in another sense they provide an objective representation of "how the system works" which can be used to evaluate the worker s subjective mental representation of the system. The influence modeling and assessment (IMAS) technique, which is described in subsequent sections, can also be used to elicit the worker s representation of the system. Both techniques, IMAS and SFG, can therefore be used for training personnel. 

In the next two examples, we illustrate how state space models can handle a multiple-input multiple output (MIMO) problem. We ll show, with a simple example, how to translate information in a block diagram into a state space model. Some texts rely on signal-flow graphs, but we do not need them with simple systems. Moreover, we can handle complex problems easily with MATLAB. Go over MATLAB Session 4 before reading Example 4.7A. 

As flow rates decrease, the perfusion medium in the probe approaches equilibrium with the ECF (Wages et al., 1986). Therefore, the dialysate concentration of an analyte sampled at very lowflow rates more closely approximates the concentration in the extracellular environment (Menacherry et al., 1992). Like no net flux and the zero flow models, this is another steady-state analysis with limited application to transient changes based on behavior or pharmacological manipulations. However, the advent of new techniques in analytical chemistry requiring only small sample volumes from short sampling intervals may signal a potential return to the low flow method. 

Identification of the experimental RTD curve by deconvolution of the two signals, to the plug flow model with axial dispersion Figure 3, allows access to residence time x and the Peclet number.

A convenient way of creating and organizing functional-level models is to use signal flow simulators with graphical user interfaces, such as MATLAB Simulink [http //www.mathworks.com]. Signal flow simulators offer the user a simple way to express physical behavior in diagrams of directed and nonfeedback building... 

Several parameters have been used to gather information about sample dispersion in flow analysis peak variance [109], time of appearance of the analytical signal, also known as baseline-to-baseline time [110], number of tanks in the tanks-in-series model [111], the Peclet number in the axially dispersed plug flow model [112], the Peclet number and the mean residence time in the diffusive—convective equation [113]. 

Typical records obtained from slurries are shown in Figs. 6.26 and 6.27. The variation of the signal profile can be explained by different flow models (Porges, 1984). The averaged flow velocity can be derived from the PNA signal recorded by the detector at a known distance downstream from the PNA source. The PNA velocity results agreed with timed-diversion measurements to within 0.5% and no systematic deviation was found. We believe that the accuracy achieved by the PNA technique can be better than that obtained by other techniques because the PNA system irradiates the entire duct, and the shape of the readout is directly related to the motion of the tags. 

Figure 11.8 shows the signal-processing model of the blown bottle. The funny shaped function in the middle models the tendency of air to flow into or out of the bottle as a function of the differential pressure on the piston. It is similar to the reed reflection coefficient table shown in Figure 11.4, but the... 

The following matrix shows the signal flow in the software part of the system. This part is typically reahzed and integrated in the processor. It is not possible to analyze a reliability block diagram from a system displayed in Fig. 4. Therefore the functional description of the system is necessary. This could be derived fi om the Simulink model or an analysis of the systems architecture. Some essential parts are displayed in figure 11. This figure represent the later described so called atomic units . This units holds only one connection form of the possible coimec-tion forms.Within the matrix Input-ZOutput relations... 

One or both features are missing in other models, more oriented towards different synthesis tasks, such as the signal flow graph (SFG) [5] (missing the first feature), and the stream model [10] (missing the first feature, and for nonconstant loop boundaries the second one as well). Details on the model and on how to deal with singular index functions and signals with different dimensions can be found in our previous publications [22, 23]. 

One of the main reasons for the success of this approach is that in our PDG control flow model, changes of placement and ordering vectors have explicitly measurable effects on storage- and access-related optimization criteria. This is lacking in the conventional signal flow graph models.
