Useful packaged components

A double balanced mixer is a three port device. When two frequencies are presented at two of the ports, the sum and difference frequencies appear at the third port. A modern DBM is a broadband device, for example 2-200 MHz, and comes in extremely compact packages with or without connectors. DBM s are very useful in a variety of applications. 

As a phase sensitive detector When signals at the same 

Phase shifters range from simple delay lines to mechanically or electronically controlled delay lines to those based on phase locked loops or other active circuits. Quadrature and 180° hybrids as well as DBM s can be used as fixed value broadband phase shifters. This last point is important since most continuously adjustable phase shifters are frequency dependent. Phase shifters in NMR spectrometers are required to set the reference phase in a phase sensitive detector and also to set the relative phases of rf pulses as required for various pulse sequences. 

The power divider is a broadband multi-port device which permits the rf inserted in one port to be equally divided between the outputs. The outputs have the same phase and the same amplitude and are highly isolated from each other. Conversely, if two rf signals are put into the output ports of the power divider, they will be added vectorially. Hence the 

Power dividers are used for splitting and recombining signals to create a train of pulses with different phases. The diagram at left shows a scheme using two power dividers, two DBM s, and two phase shifters, to cre e such a pulse train. Whenever a DBM is turned on, an rf pulse of corresponding phase will be outputted from the second power divider being used as a combiner.

Filtered valves contain a fine internal filter, typically below the body orifice. This filter prevents clogging by the debris sometimes found in product and package. The use of filtration is recommended with any valve systems containing body, stem, or actuator orifices of 0.25-mm (or smaller) diameter unless exceptional care is taken in the cleaning of product and package components. Valves containing these small orifices are used for products propelled by compressed gas. 

The polymeric encapsulating resin, modified by additives, must possess adequate mechanical strength, adhesion to package components, manufacturing and environmental chemical resistance, electrical resistance, GTE matching, as weU as thermal and moisture resistance in the use-temperature range.

The terms quality assurance and quality control are sometimes used interchangeably, but there is an important difference. Quality control generally refers to testing of raw materials, packaging components, and... 

The manufacture and sale of parenteral products is regulated by federal and state laws, as well as by the USP. Federal drug regulations are discussed in detail in Chapter 20. The USP provides specifications, test procedures, standards, etc. for parenteral products and their packaging components. In addition to individual monographs, the USP limits the use of certain additives (see Table 4), limits the size of multiple-dose containers to 30 mL, and requires a suitable preservative to be added to containers intended for multiple use. 

Parts II, III, and IV cover basic techniques for modeling with objects and advanced techniques for factoring and then recombining models and designs using packages, frameworks, and components. They do not describe a development process the steps to validate and document these models. 

Do not confuse the use of a component with the definition of the component. One component may be shared between the implementations of several others. In each use, there may be particular restrictions or simplifications that apply these are not part of the intrinsic definition of the shared part. Use packages to distinguish these.

Nokia, the world s largest manufacturer of mobile phones, has committed to phasing out brominated flame retardants (BFRs) and PVC plastic. Chicco, a manufacturer of toys and baby products, will eliminate the use of PVC within threeyears small amounts of this plastic are still used in components, accessories and packaging. 

The Food and Drug Administration (1999) permits the use of triethanolamine as a component of adhesives in food packaging as an indirect food additive, as a component of the uncoated or coated food contact surface of paper and paper board for use with dry solid foods with no free fat or oil on the surface, and to adjust pH during the manufacture of amino resins permitted for use as components of paper and paper board in the United States. 

The polymeric materials usually used to manufacture rigid closures are practically the same as those seen under plastic containers (Section 6.1.3.2). The same impurities are therefore to be expected in these packaging components. On the other hand, though made of polymeric materials, elastomeric closures present a different structure. In the manufacture of rubber, elastomer, the chief component, is combined with other chemicals to produce a material with specific properties that meet target needs, such as its above-mentioned ability to reseal on repeated use. Table 28 lists the common elastomers used in the pharmaceutical industry and their monomeric structures. 

In addition to providing data to show that a proposed container closure system is suitable for its intended use, an application should also describe the quality control measures that will be used to ensure consistency in the packaging components. These controls are intended to limit unintended postapproval variations in the manufacturing procedures or the materials of construction for a packaging component and to prevent adverse elfects on the quality of a dosage form.
