Synchronous, defined

The local dynamics of tire systems considered tluis far has been eitlier steady or oscillatory. However, we may consider reaction-diffusion media where tire local reaction rates give rise to chaotic temporal behaviour of tire sort discussed earlier. Diffusional coupling of such local chaotic elements can lead to new types of spatio-temporal periodic and chaotic states. It is possible to find phase-synchronized states in such systems where tire amplitude varies chaotically from site to site in tire medium whilst a suitably defined phase is synclironized tliroughout tire medium 51. Such phase synclironization may play a role in layered neural networks and perceptive processes in mammals. Somewhat suriDrisingly, even when tire local dynamics is chaotic, tire system may support spiral waves... 

This is a very good motor for direct connection to certain loads, particularly where constant speed is required. NEMA defines it as a synchronous machine which transforms electrical power from an alternating-current system into mechanical power. It usually has direct-current field excitation by a separately driven direct-current generator or one directly connected to the motor. This motor remains synchronous with the supply frequency and is not affected by the load. Proper application requires consideration of the following ... 

Alternating-current motors are of three general types, induction, synchronous, and series, and are defined as follows ... 

As defined above, F consists of three operators acting simultaneously on the state G >. More generally, one may prescribe any of 10 possible time-orderings to the operators H, and. That is, specify certain intermediate state dependencies, so that, for example FilG >= (H )( G >) would in general be expected to yield results different from, say, F2 G > H( ( G>)). While we will be solely concerned with the synchronous time ordering defined above, we do not expect the qualitative results to depend critically on this choice. 

Now, to be sure, McCulloch-Pitts neurons are unrealistically rendered versions of the real thing. For example, the assumption that neuronal firing occurs synchronously throughout the net at well defined discrete points in time is simply wrong. The tacit assumption that the structure of a neural net (i.e. its connectivity, as defined by the set of synaptic weights) remains constant over time is known be false as well. Moreover, while the input-output relationship for real neurons is nonlinear, real neurons are not the simple threshold devices the McCulloch-Pitts model assumes them to be. In fact, the output of a real neuron depends on its weighted input in a nonlinear but continuous manner. Despite their conceptual drawbacks, however, McCulloch-Pitts neurons are nontrivial devices. McCulloch-Pitts were able to show that for a suitably chosen set of synaptic weights wij, a synchronous net of their model neurons is capable of universal computation. This means that, in principle, McCulloch-Pitts nets possess the same raw computational power as a conventional computer (see section 6.4). 

The multiple sites that serve as origins for DNA replication in eukaryotes are poorly defined except in a few animal viruses and in yeast. However, it is clear that initiation is regulated both spatially and temporaUy, since clusters of adjacent sites initiate rephcation synchronously. There are suggestions that functional domains of chromatin replicate as intact units, implying that the origins of rephcation are specificaUy located with respect to transcription units. 

Both methods obtain the necessary sensitivity by modulating the electrode potential between two values which define two distinct states of the electrode surface thus the chemistry to be observed is directly modulated and may be detected with great sensitivity by an appropriate form of synchronous detection. In the case of EMIRS, the modulation frequency is made sufficiently high compared to the wavelength scanning rate to enable a phase sensitive detection system to be used whereas, for SNIFTIRS, the electrode potential is held for a sufficient period at each potential to accumulate data from several interferometric scans and, after an adequate number, the two sets of data are ratioed. 

Hardware requirements — The system controller responsible for synchronizing the events is defined as LC System 1. It requires at least two time event outputs to trigger the injection of LC System 2 and start MS data collection. If MS fails, the injection of LC System 1 should be inhibited. Autosampler with ready-in, alarm-in, and stop inputs indicate capability to be stopped remotely. The autosampler of LC System 2 must be able to prepare a sample before the run from LC System 1 is finished and hold the sample in the injector loop until an injection signal is received. A manual injection input devices indicates that the autosampler can perform the required function. 

The starting point for describing an architecture is to define the kinds of elements that constitute it. At the simplest level, interfaces and implementations are the elements of architecture. Beyond that, concrete implemented elements—specific kinds of buffers, synchronization primitives, coordinators, kits of parts to be assembled—can be specified as types or interfaces more-abstract ones—design patterns, patterns of connectors and components—can be described using model frameworks. It is even possible for certain architectural qualities to be quantified, in a parameterized form, on the framework level. After these elements have been defined, the architecture itself can be described using these as primitives. ... 

In effect, synchronized commerce allows UPS to sell more products and services to its existing customers. To effectuate this model, UPS acquired nearly thirty service providers with expertise in different areas of synchronized commerce freight forwarders, customer clear-ers, a bank for export financing, fulfillment services, customer returns and repairs. Eskew defined synchronized commerce as the coordinated...
