Reuse of single use products. Especially valuable are the searchable CDRH databases. These include Manufacturer and User Device Experience (MAUDE) PMA, Premarket Notifications [510(k) s], and Device Listings, a list of medical devices in commercial distribution by both domestic and foreign manufacturers. The OCP site includes examples of newly approved combination products guidance documents related to combination products jurisdictional updates (among CDRH, ODER, and CBER) and instructions for submitting an RED. 

Manufacturers were required to report to the Department of Health and Human Services any device that caused or contributed to the death, illness, or serious injury of a patient. User device problem reporting systems were required, in addition to a tracking mechanism for devices. 

Assistive devices can be viewed as artificial systems that either completely or partially bridge a gap between a given human (with his or her unique profile of performance capacities, i.e., available performance resources) and a particular task or class of tasks (e.g., communication, mobility, etc.). It is thus possible to consider the aspects of the device that constitute the user-device interface and those aspects which constitute, more generally, the device-task interface. In general, measurements supporting assessment of the user-device interface can be viewed to consist of (1) those which characterize the human and (2) those which characterize tasks (i.e., operating the assistive device). Each of these was described earlier. Measurements that characterize the device-task interface are often carried out in the context of the complete system, that is, the human-assistive device-task combination (see next subsection).

Thus, within a PEMFC controt perspective (an extremely important issue for cell incorporation into an end-user device) it will be necessary to develop reduced mathematical models derived from more complete physical models accounting for the irrterplay between aging mechanisrrts. Similar discussions can be made regarding other empirical approaches such as in Carter et al. 

Polonium can be mixed or alloyed with beryllium to provide a source of neutrons. The element has been used in devices for eliminating static charges in textile mills, etc. however, beta sources are both more commonly used and less dangerous. It is also used on brushes for removing dust from photographic films. The polonium for these is carefully sealed and controlled, minimizing hazards to the user. 

By electronic engineering, a system of interconnected switching devices is able to respond in one of only two modes (on or off), and these modes can be controlled at the basic level of a bit. Bits are assembled into bytes, as with an 8-bit device, and through programming of the bytes a computer central processor can be made to follow sets of instructions (programs) written in special languages, either at a direct level (machine code) that can be acted upon immediately by a computer or at a high level that is translated for the user into machine code. 

Nickel carbonyl should be used in totally enclosed systems or under good local exhaust. Plants and laboratories where nickel carbonyl is used should make use of air-monitoring devices, alarms should be present in case of accidental leakage, and appropriate personal respiratory protective devices should be readily available for emergency uses. Monitoring of urinary nickel levels is useful to help determine the severity of exposure and identify appropriate treatment measures. Some large-scale users of nickel carbonyl maintain a supply of sodium diethyldithiocarbamate, or Antabuse, a therapeutic agent, on hand for use in case of overexposure. 

Because of the high functional values that polyimides can provide, a small-scale custom synthesis by users or toU producers is often economically viable despite high cost, especially for aerospace and microelectronic appHcations. For the majority of iudustrial appHcations, the yellow color generally associated with polyimides is quite acceptable. However, transparency or low absorbance is an essential requirement iu some appHcations such as multilayer thermal iusulation blankets for satellites and protective coatings for solar cells and other space components (93). For iutedayer dielectric appHcations iu semiconductor devices, polyimides having low and controlled thermal expansion coefficients are required to match those of substrate materials such as metals, ceramics, and semiconductors usediu those devices (94). 

Any program developed in-house must be easy to use, or user-friendly. If the program has various options for input, analysis, computation, and output, then it must provide the user with a fast way to select them. To meet this need, the system is likely to be menu-driven. The peripheral interactive devices such as mice, joysticks, light pens, graphic tablets, and templates are helpful and often used to expedite the selection process. 

A tablet is a device for placing selectable menus or modules on a separate, peripheral plate. It is helpful for a user of CAD software to have all the modules available displayed on the screen for selection. The only drawback in such an arrangement is that it takes away a portion of the screen space and therefore less space is available for the actual CAD activities. Selection of an item from a tablet can be made with a mouse or light pen (Fig. 4). 

Where the manufacturer of the measurement device does not supply the associated eqiiipment (thermowells, sample conditioning equipment, and the like), the user must incorporate the characteristics of these components to obtain the dynamics of the measurement system. 

These devices are replacing the older tank and spiral-conveyor devices. Better provisions for speed and ease of fill and discharge (without powered rotation) minimize downtime to make this batch-operated device attractive. Heat-transfer coefficients ranging from 28 to 200 W/(m °C) [5 to 35 Btu/(h fF °F)] are obtained. However, if caking on the heat-transfer walls is serious, then values may drop to 5.5 or 11 W/(m °C) [1 or 2 Btu/(h fH °F)], constituting a misapplication. The double cone is available in a fairly wide range of sizes and construction materials. The users are the fine-chemical, pharmaceutical, and biological-preparation industries. 

Particulate Scrubbers Wet collec tors, or scrubbers, form a class of devices in which a liquid (usually water) is used to assist or accomplish the collection of dusts or mists. Such devices have been in use for well over 100 years, and innumerable designs have been or are offered commercially or constructed by users. Wet-film collectors logically... 

Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) A microcomputer-based solid-state control system which receives inputs from user-supplied control devices such as switches and sensors, implements them in a precise pattern determined by instructions stored in the PLC memory, and provides outputs for control or user-supplied devices such as relays and motor starters.
