Software PHOENIX

The design for the photomask to be used for the PDMS stamp fabrication was designed using the Clewin software (PhoeniX Technologies, The Netherlands). Different patterns including squares, circles, lines and diamonds were designed... 

Individual process steps identified in a conceptual design (reactors or separation/purification units) are studied experimentally in the laboratory and/or by computer simulation (see simulation programs as given in SOFTWARE DIRECTORY or Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) programs for studying fluid dynamics, such as PHOENIX, FLUENT, and FIDAP). 

Aside from the processor, the most important chip on the motherboard is the basic input/output system (BIOS) chip. This chip is a special memory chip that contains the BIOS software that tells the processor how to interact with the rest of the hardware in the computer. The BIOS chip is easily identified if you have a non-clone computer (e.g. Compaq, IBM, HP, etc.), this chip will have the name of the manufacturer and usually the word BIOS. For example, the BIOS chip for a Compaq will say something like Compaq BIOS on it. For clones, the chip will usually have a sticker or printing on it from the three major BIOS manufacturers (AMI, Phoenix, and Award). 

Phoenix Technologies Phoenix Technologies was the pioneer who developed BIOS in the first place. Their BIOS software supports user-defined hard drive types and 1.44MB floppy disk drives. 

In 1998, Award and PhoenixTechnologies merged. The new company is Phoenix Technologies. The new company will provide technical support for older products from both companies as well as produce new BIOS software. 

Emission spectra and absorption spectra were recorded on a Perkin-Elmer 650-iOS Fluorescence Spectrophotometer and a Perkin-Elmer 320 tn/ Spectrophotometer, respectively. Fluorescence decay data were obtained on a single-photon-counting apparatus from Photochemical Research Associates. The samples were bubbled witli nitrogen for the steady-state fluorescence spectra and the fluorescence decay measurements. In some cases, front face spectra were taken. The data were analyzed by a software package from PRA based on the iterative convolution method. NMR spectra were obtained on a JEOL FX90Q, and FTIR spectra were recorded on a Nicolet 5DX. The elemental analyses were conducted by M-H-W Laboratories of Phoenix, AZ. 

The molecular mass of the recombinant protein is measured on a Bio-Q triple quadruple mass spectrometer (Micromass, Manchester, UK). Samples are dissolved in 1 % (v/v) acetic acid/50% (v/v) acetonitrile and injected into the ion source at a flow rate of 10 ml/min using a Phoenix syringe pump. Spectra are collected and elaborated using the MASSLYNX software provided by the manufacturer. 

Table 6.3 summarizes the evolution of the computer hardware typically employed in automated x-ray spectrometers. The movement proceeded from punch cards to paper tape (1968), then to tape cassette (1970), to floppy disk (1972), to Phoenix hard drive (1974), to Winchester disk technology (1975), to the personal computer (1980), and finally arrived at the implementation of the CD-ROM (1987). Not insignificant in this development cycle is the impact on the software. In the days of 4K minicomputers supported by paper tape all programs were written in assembler language. With the industry rate of one instruction per hour for a good programmer, a 4K program took the best part of two years to write. Needless to... 

Executable environment for Learning by Doing (xLBD) The xLBD is a solution to enable the remote execution of EKRs through a web service approach. xLBD uses several software applications and languages (Apache Tomcat web server, Java, AKM web services and Phoenix Integration Model Center ) to deploy EKRs as web services. Users can access and execute the software remotely, so they do not require a dedicated installation of software on their desktops. 

The formed dose-response functions were incorporated into a Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) software program, simulating the environment of a sample within a Phoenix-exposed IP/DP (Instrument Panel/Door Panel box) box, based on sun position and weather conditions, including radiation interactions. Observed local effects as well as the general ageing advance of PP hats are compared with respect to simulation and experiment.
