Three-level switching

An industrial example requiring simple sequence logic is the effluent tank with two sump pumps illustrated in Fig. 8-59. There are two sump pumps, A and B. The tank is equipped with three level switches, one for low level (LL), one for high level (LH), and one for high-high level (LHH). All level switches actuate on rising level. The logic is to be as follows ... 

A three-level switching device has been demonstrated in which photochromic properties are used to control electrical properties, and vice versa. Such a system has been realized in the form of thiophene bisphenol [90, 91]. Conversion of the open (8a) to the closed (8b) form of the thiophene was achieved by absorption of 312 nm light, and revered by absorption of 600 nm light. The bisphenol oxidation occurs at +0.735 V (vs. SCE), forming the closed-ring bisquinone, compound 8c. This species has large absorptions at 400 and 534 nm. The optical properties of the quinone phenol couple have previously been used in a bianthrone-based system [87]. The bisquinone (8c) cannot be converted to the open thiophene, and locks the system in the closed form. The thiophene has also been incorporated as a component in two-level molecular switches [99, 128] and switchable molecular wires [30]. 

When a higher switching frequency is combined with three level switching many of the lower frequency harmonics previously produced are no longer present. 

The average recovery obtained for fenoxycarb when the analysis of pond water was performed using three-column switching LC/fiuorescence detection was 100% at fortification levels ranging from 0.001 to 10 ugL The LOQ and LOD were 0.001 ugL and 0.4 ng injected, respectively. 

As early as 1982, a diode laser-pumped miniature NdtYAG laser with a linewidlh of less lhan 10 kHz. was demonstrated. The research in this area continued apace at Stanford University and by a numher of commercial electronics limis. w ith emphasis placed on ihe development of three-level lasers. Q-switched and mode-locked operation, single-frequency operation (monolithic nonplanar ring oscillator), visible radiation by harmonic generation, and array-pumped solid-slate lasers. See Fig. ft. 

Computer network infrastructure should be qualified in support of validated applications. Bristol Meyer Squibb have adopted a three-level model to assist the quahfication of their computer network infrastrucmre. This approach is summarized in Table 14.3. Layer 1 comprises computers that provide shared resources such as servers, hosts, mainframes, and mini computers. Layer 2 is the network infrastrucmre (e g., hubs, routers, and switches). Layer 3 comprises the user desktop environment (i.e., workstations, personal computers, and laptops). 

Several molecular and supramolecular luminescent systems of varying complexity have been reported, whose emission can be turned on/off at will by means of an external input (either a pH or a redox potential change) and have been therefore considered as molecular level analogues of everyday life light switches [9-13], The Ni(II)-3 system is different in that it controls three levels of illumination high-low-off, as switches operating car headlights do in the macroscopic world. 

The numerical results shown in Fig. 6.2 confirm that the rotation direction of n electrons temporally changes between clockwise and counterclockwise in the case of a single-pulse control. Switching of the rotation direction can be prevented efficiently, and unidirectional rotation of Jt electrons can be realized consecutively in a simple manner. In the three-level model analysis in a short-pulse limit, as already stated, the pulse with e+ (e ) creates a coherent superposition L) - - H) ( L) — H)), and L) - - H) created by a pump pulse with e+ evolves as L) - - H) L) — i H). Then the population in —) can be dumped to G) by applying a dump pulse with e just after the created state has completely shifted as L) — i H) L) — H). Thus, only clockwise rotation can be generated. Figure 6.3 shows the results of a pump-dump control simulation of an R enantiomer of DCPH. The values of the parameters of the pump pulse were/ = 2.24 GVm i, = 19.4 fs, co = 7.72 eVM, and e = e+, and those of the dump pulse were / = 2.37 GVm , tj = 19.4 fs, co = 7.72 eV/h, and e = e. The delay time between the pulses was 19.4 fs. 

The chemical feed system consists of three systems, as shown in Figure 4.5. The SBS system consists of a 570-1 feed tank and two injection pumps rated for 18.9 1/h at 5.5 bar g. The anti-sealant (A/S) system consists of a 570-1 feed tank and injection pumps, rated for 18.9 1/h at 5.5 bar g. The caustic soda (NaOH) system consists a 570-1 feed tank and injection pumps rated for 1701/h at 5.5 bar g. The PVC injection pumps are positive displacement types with PVDF diaphragms. Each tank is provided with a mixer and a level switch. All motors are rated for 220 V/1 Ph/50 Flz. 

This coherent picture involves three levels of understanding or perspectives on the nature of chemistry macroscopic, microscopic, and symbolic. By the end of this course, you should be able to switch among these perspectives to look at problems involving chemistry in several ways. The things we can see about substances and their reactions provide the macroscopic perspective. We need to interpret these events considering the microscopic (or particulate ) perspective, where we focus on the smallest components of the system. Finally, we need to be able to communicate these concepts efficiendy, so chemists have devised a symbolic perspective that allows us to do that. We can look at these three aspects of chemistry first, to provide a reference for framing our studies at the outset. 

Phase-dependent coherence and interference can be induced in a multi-level atomic system coupled by multiple laser fields. Two simple examples are presented here, a three-level A-type system coupled by four laser fields and a four-level double A-type system coupled also by four laser fields. The four laser fields induce the coherent nonlinear optical processes and open multiple transitions channels. The quantum interference among the multiple channels depends on the relative phase difference of the laser fields. Simple experiments show that constructive or destructive interference associated with multiple two-photon Raman channels in the two coherently coupled systems can be controlled by the relative phase of the laser fields. Rich spectral features exhibiting multiple transparency windows and absorption peaks are observed. The multicolor EIT-type system may be useful for a variety of application in coherent nonlinear optics and quantum optics such as manipulation of group velocities of multicolor, multiple light pulses, for optical switching at ultra-low light intensities, for precision spectroscopic measurements, and for phase control of the quantum state manipulation and quantum memory. 

To protect the woiksheet, choose Protect Worksheet... from the Tools menu, shown in the bottom part of Fig. 6.34. Worksheet protection comes in three levels presented by switches Protection Level in the Protect Worksheet dialog box. The first level, File, the lowest one, protect the worksheet from being saved in some formats, for example as earlier Mathcad versions. Figure 6.35 shows two lists of file formats for saving the current worksheet even without protection level File. In Mathcad 12, this protection level makes it impossible to save the worksheet as Mathcad 11, 2000i, or 2000.
