Standard interface

The main aims of MicroChemTec are the development of a unit construction kit for micro reactors, definition of standardized interfaces, investigations of modules on the market for their suitability for affiliation in the unit construction kit, documentation for this purpose, and demonstration of functioning of the concept with the example of selected unit operations or processes.

Bean instances will be nested. The containing context may (1) provide standard containment services and (2) interpose its own behavior before its parts execute their methods. Standard interfaces are defined for this purpose. 

Reuse of specifications leads to reuse of implementations. In particular, whenever you can implement standardized interfaces, whether domain-specific or for infrastructure services, you enable the reuse of all other implementations that follow those standards. 

Reuse Lemmas (1) If you reuse a specification, try a component-based approach implement against the interface and defer binding to the implementation. (2) Reuse of specifications leads to reuse of implementations. In particular, whenever you can implement standardized interfaces, whether domain-specific or for infrastructure services, you enable the reuse of all other implementations that follow those standards. (3) Successful reuse needs thorough interface specifications. (4) If you can componentize your problem domain descriptions themselves and reuse domain models, you greatly enhance your position to reuse interface specifications and implementations downstream. 

Calibration procedures and test methods and frequencies need to be defined usually as part of an SOP. If you intend to transfer data from the instrument to a software package, ensure that data integrity is preserved during transfer. Don t assume that the transfer protocols on standard interfaces always work as intended. It is good practice to ensure that the data have not been truncated or distorted during transfer. 

During the 1990s, electrospray ionization (ESI) and atmospheric pressure chemical ionization (APCI) became the standard interfaces for LC/MS. Unlike thermospray, particle beam, or continuous-flow FAB, ESI and APCI inter-... 

In the case of the chemistry database, the situation is more complex. Compound data cannot be queried or updated using standard SQL. The read and write operations are encapsulated in vendor-specific Oracle data cartridges. Therefore, the Data Persistence Layer has another responsibility— hide vendor specifics with a standard interface so that the Business Layer does not care about vendor variations. 

Companies, too, must be simpler with a more standardized interface. They need to be proactive and flexible, involved with universities early and continuously. There are many poorly packaged commercialization opportunities as presented by the universities. What s more, they don t know what they don t know. What does a professor typically know about the various applications of his technology ...

There is also a kind of division of labor between industrial suppliers of apparatus and plant engineering companies. As installation of a plant amounts to about 10% of all costs [16], pressure from the engineering companies was great enough to introduce common qualification standards and also standardized interfaces between industrial apparatus. 

The modular backbone introduced here allows both commercial and demonstration-type micro structured devices to be coupled in all three dimensions in a flexible and easy manner. Micro structured heat exchangers, reactors and mixers of different manufacturers are surface mounted on this backbone. Owing to the standardized interfaces, devices can easily be exchanged, for example, to evaluate different types of mixers. The backbone itself consists of elements which can be combined individually and flexibly in all directions, according to the demands of the plant to be built. The backbone provides the flow paths for fluids and electrical conduits for power supply and signal transmission of sensors and actuators. 

While the overall development used a Windows application programming interface, incompatibilities exist across platforms (Microsoft Windows, Apple OS X). For this reason, we opted to use a more standardized interface using HTML that would be more accessible, at the cost of a few features (pairing text to certain times in the videos and full-screen video). Aside from these two features, the HTML interface is identical to the enhanced interface, using the same color scheme and layout and containing the same content. 

The message-passing interface (MPI) standardization effort has produced a draft of a proposed standard interface.More than 40 research institutes and computer hardware and software vendors are participating in this international effort. 

ISDN Abbreviation for Integrated Services Digital Network. A worldwide digital communications network emerging from existing telephone services, intended to replace all current systems with a completely digital transmission system. Computers and other devices connect to ISDN via simple, standardized interfaces, and when complete, ISDN systems will be capable of transmitting voice, video, music, and data. 

RS-232-C In asynchronous transmissions, a recommended standard interface established by the Electrical Industries Association. The standard defines the specific lines, timing, and signal characteristics used between the computer and the peripheral device and uses a 25-pin or 9-pin DB connector. RS-232-C is used for serial communications between a computer and a peripheral such as a printer, modem, digitizing tablet, or mouse. 

The extensibility paradigm requires that readability of the code is favoured over special code optimization in ESPResSo and that it has standardized interfaces for interaction potentials, analysis, thermostats etc. Even for a beginner it should be possible to implement a new potential in a couple of days. 

Interface extension Object interfaces in CORBA are defined in IDL, in order to hide implementation details and heterogeneity in distributed systems. Extending the IDL specification with management functions, yields a modular approach. The management functionality provided by the object can be accessed by management components via the standardized interface and thus be modified without having to reconstruct the entire... 

In order to provide a uniform management functionality which allows managers to access these applications via standardized interfaces and thus avoids proprietary and application-specific management solutions, a new approach was chosen, which is presented in the following. 

In this second alternative the use of standardized interfaces based on integrated product and process models enables the design and seamless interplay of several modules e.g. for the generation of simulation input data. The restructured scenario builds the basis for the integrated ID and 3D simulation where MOREX and BEMFlow were coupled (see Subsect. 5.4.5). 

Aside from this standard, guidelines and so-called style guides of software manufacturers like Microsoft or Apple exist to ensure a uniform look and feel [886, 964]. They also contribute to a standard interface design. Therefore, new applications, such as those developed in the scope of IMPROVE, try to adapt to these guidelines and to use standardized symbols and functions. In this manner, the software system should be familiar to the user. Furthermore, the programming effort can be reduced.
