Requirements technical

In order to install and run the OPUS version 4.0 demo you will need a Pentium III nbsp class PC with the Microsoft WINDOWS NT 4.0, WINDOWS 2000 or WINDOWS XP platforms, but note that neither WINDOWS 95 nor WINDOWS 98 are suitable. It is recommended to use an 800 MHz (or higher) processor with at least 128 MB RAM base memory (256 MB recommended) and a hard disk. The demo version of the software and the spectra database are both stored on the CD-ROM enclosed. A corresponding CD-ROM drive is therefore required. Prior to starting the installation proeedure you should ensure that the operating system WINDOWS NT 4.0 with the Service Pack 6 or WINDOWS 2000 or WINDOWS XP is already installed on your computer. The minimum technical requirements for your OPUS workstation are summarized in Tab. 2.1.

The planning of a project starts with the definition of what reference material is to be produced. Usually, this definition just say is something like  

Although this definition might need some further specification, it is satisfactory to start the design of the project. The first task in such a project is to obtain a sufficient amount of raw material with the desired properties. The amount of material needed is dictated by the following parts of the projects  

Each of these aspects will be addressed briefly in this Section. 

The number of samples of reference material needed is a commercial issue in the first place. An important variable is the number of samples likely to be sold during the lifetime ( shelf life ) of the reference material. As the lifetime is a function of the intrinsic stability of the material, this variable also affects the amount of raw material is needed. For instance, microbiological materials have limited intrinsic stability, and therefore their lifetime is expected to be shorter than for a dry sediment certified for trace elements. So, under the assumption of an equal number of sam- 

In those cases where there are any doubts about the feasibility of producing a sufficiently homogeneous and stable reference material, a feasibility study might be needed. For this study, an extra amount of material is needed. Questions regarding the best way of preparing the sample, the stability of the material, or the fitness for purpose might justify the inclusion of a feasibility study in the project. In the BCR projects, it is common practice to have a feasibility study, which usually has as the sole purpose of assessing the performance of the laboratories in the collaborative study in relation to the certification of the reference material. The feasibility study allows the participants to fine-tune their equipment, their methods, and their procedures in view of the characterization measurements. In each of these cases, a considerable extra number of samples is needed. 

The software and the comprehensive NMR data base are both stored on a CD-ROM. A corresponding drive is therefore required and a hard disk with at least 100 MB spare capacity is advisable.The use of floppy diskettes for importing ID NMR data sets is possible, but this is not feasible for 2D data sets because of their size. 

If you plan to use your PC for accessing NMR data stored on remote computers, you 

The databases produced by Chemical Abstracts Service are currently offered by one or more hosts. Hosts are companies owning powerful computer systems on which their own language of retrieval commands is run, in order to provide different producers files for combined searching. Currently there are about 6000 databases available in the world, on offer from approximately 160 hosts. There are 1150 files offered by 15 hosts which are concerned with the central points of interest of the chemical or natural sciences and engineering. 

The most important host in chemical information is STN - Scientific Technical Network International. The nature of this host is most specific, as three institutionalized computer centers are backing it, the Chemical Abstracts Service, Columbus, Ohio, the Fachinformationszentrum (FIZ) Karlsruhe, and the Japan Information Center of Science and Technology (JICST), Tokyo. These three are permanently interrelated by use of satellite lines (Fig. 78). The

The earlier policy on technical harmonisation within the then European Community was to adopt directives for individual products and which set out the technical requirements in great detail. This resulted not only in a great number of directives needing to be developed but the setting out of the technical requirements in such detail proved to be a hindrance to technical progress. 

With the New Approach the number of directives needed to achieve the internal market target significantly decreased. In addition the European Council and the European Parliament were no longer required to deal with detailed technical requirements. Instead they were called upon only to define essential requirements needed to protect the public interest. The main elements of the New Approach can be summarised as follows ... 

Technical requirements Sound engineering practice, essential requirements tarticle 3t The directive includes a particular technical requirement with respect to equipment which presents only a minor pressure hazard. For such equipment the essential requirements and the certification procedures are not applicable. Instead the so-called sound engineering practice of one of the Member States must be applied. That practice must ensure that design and manufacture takes into account all relevant factors influencing safety during the intended lifetime. The equipment must be accompanied with adequate instruetions for use and must bear the identification of the manufacturer. The CE-marking shall not be applied for such equipment.

Sihcone products dominate the pressure-sensitive adhesive release paper market, but other materials such as Quilon (E.I. du Pont de Nemours Co., Inc.), a Werner-type chromium complex, stearato chromic chloride [12768-56-8] are also used. Various base papers are used, including polyethylene-coated kraft as well as polymer substrates such as polyethylene or polyester film. Sihcone coatings that cross-link to form a film and also bond to the cellulose are used in various forms, such as solvent and solventless dispersions and emulsions. Technical requirements for the coated papers include good release, no contamination of the adhesive being protected, no blocking in roUs, good solvent holdout with respect to adhesives appHed from solvent, and good thermal and dimensional stabiUty (see Silicon COMPOUNDS, silicones). 

Chloriaated paraffias and modified types are used as solvents ia carbonless copyiag paper production based on the encapsulation of a solution of reactive dyes. Chloriaated paraffias fiiUfill the technical requirements for a solvent including excellent solvency for the dyes they do not react with the dyes nor encapsulation material, are immiscible with water, and have low volatihty and low odor. 

The technical requirements for such applications are highly specific, and the technology is also highly specialised and beyond the scope of this book. 

Technical Requirments - These will define the performance specifications for the equipment supplied. 

The Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986 reauthorized CERCLA to continue cleanup activities around the country. Several site-specific amendments, definitions, clarifications, and technical requirements were added to the legislation, including additional enforcement authorities. Title HI of SARA also authorized the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA). 

ISO EN 9886 presents the principles, methods, and interpretation of measurements of relevant human physiological responses to hot, moderate, and cold environments. The standard can be used independently or to complement other standards. Four physiological measures are considered body core temperature, skin temperature, heart rate, and body mass loss. Comments are also provided on the technical requirements, relevance, convenience, annoyance to the subject, and cost of each of the physiological measurements. The use of ISO 9886 is mainly for extreme cases, where individuals are exposed to severe environments, or in laboratory investigations into the influence of the thermal environment on humans. 

The control and subproducts for the instrumentation are governed by the general technical requirements for the other subproducts in the system. In addition, to fulfill all the general technical requirements, the encapsulation and protection of the environments in which the subproducts are used have to be considered, including danger of explosion, pollution, moisture, temperature, vibration, influence on heating and cooling, etc. See (Table 9.7). 

These are the characteristics which need to be specified and their achievement controlled, assured, improved, managed, and demonstrated. These are the characteristics which form the subject matter of the specified requirements referred to in ISO 9000. When the value of these characteristics is quantified or qualified they are termed quality requirements or requirements for quality. ISO 8402 1994 defines requirements for quality as an expression of the needs or their translation into a set of quantitatively or qualitatively stated requirements for the characteristics of an entity to enable its realization and examination. While rather verbose, this definition removes the confusion over quality requirements and technical requirements. (An additional definition is provided in Appendix A.) Technical requirements for a product or service are quality requirements. The requirements of ISO 9000 are quality system requirements.

The specific technical requirements within each category will depend upon the type of building and the use to which it will be put. For example, the requirements for fire escapes will be different for an office and for a factory.

In summary, you will find that Acts contain the broad legal principles whereas you are more likely to find the detailed technical requirements of the law in the regulations. 

Directives, on the other hand, are addressed to member states and require that they enact national legislation so as to achieve the objectives of the directives. Thus, a directive allows flexibility in how national legislation is enacted. In practice, national legislation will frequently refer you back to the directive, particularly when a directive contains large amounts of detailed technical requirements. 

Finally, where applicable, you will find detailed technical requirements in one or more Annexes.
