Using technical information

An extensive list of the commercially available resins is available from Sigma-Aldrich (www.sigmaaldrich.com), Novabiochem (www.novabiochem.com), Fluka and other chemical companies. Sigma-Aldrich and Novabiochem have excellent catalogs. In addition, the Novabiochem catalog and website are a rich source of useful technical information. 

A critical but often overlooked aspect of the technical service function is the value of relationships that develop between more senior members of the technical service staff and their colleagues at customer sites. Professional relationships provide value both to supplier and customer by virtue of the tmst and respect generated in a successful technical service interaction, analogous to the types of mutually valuable relationships that can develop between supplier sales personnel and a customer s purchasing personnel. A more efficient process of gathering and dispersing new and useful technical information can result from these relationships, because the persons involved work in different environments and are exposed in the course of their work to different external sources of information. 

Generate useful technical information about methodologies and technologies for reducing pollution, which could help the U.S. EPA assist other companies implementing pollution prevention/waste minimization programs. 

NMR instrumentation is continually improving in sensitivity, sophistication, and ease of use. The sales literature from the major producers of NMR instruments, probes, and accessories often contains very useful technical information on recent advances and examples of current applications. The manufacturers of isotopically enriched materials also provide useful information on the availability of deuterated and other specialty solvents. 

In order to get a better view on what information was available on dioxin emission and abatement, the industry delegation organised a special woikshop, in September 2003. This workshop was attended by over 30 partieipants, both TWG members and industry experts. It provided additional operational data and useful technical information. 

In this chapter we are going to look at how we use technical information so this might be a good time to revise the work done in Chapter 3. 

Limd, Herbert E, ed. Industrial Pollution Control Handbook. New York McGraw-Hill, 1971. Although somewhat dated, this volume contains very useful technical information on different control processes in different industrial sectors. 

Preliminary remark A wealth of useful technical information complementary to this review can be found in refs. 16 and 17. 

For many years, the technical capabilities of standard NDT methods did not allow for this approach. If NDT would have produced quantitative data on defect size from the beginning, it is highly probable that current acceptance criteria for weld defects would have used this information. Acceptance criteria would have been completely different from what they are... 

CS4JSI/SND. The Canadian Scientific Numeric Database Service (CAN/ SND) is provided by the Canada Institute for Scientific and Technical Information (ClSTl), a division of the National Research Council of Canada. It contains 140,000 ir spectra of 96,000 compounds. Entries consist of peak locations and some intensities. This system is searchable on-line using the SPIR (Search Program for Infrared Spectra) (85). Table 9 summarizes the available databases in the area of spectra. 

The bulk of the patent specification is the disclosure, the text and illustrations that describe the claimed invention in detail and explain how the claimed invention differs from the prior art. Modem patent disclosures contain a summary of the claimed invention, a description of the background of the invention, a general description of the way in which the invention is made and used, specific examples, and, where appHcable, drawings of the invention in general or specific embodiments. The technical information provided in a patent specification may be used without infringing the patent only practicing the invention defined in the claims within the term and territory of the patent grant is forbidden. Because much of the information in patent specifications is never pubHshed in refereed journals or other nonpatent media, patent disclosures are an invaluable part of the technical Hterature. 

Perhaps the most notable aspect of the history of the API operation is that it has been shaped at every step by those who use the system. Created by information speciaHsts within the petroleum iadustry, it has beea governed by a technical information committee made up of company representatives, and guided by a series of iadustry task forces, which have modified as aeeded the indexing thesaums, subject selectioa guideliaes, and selection rules for countries ia pateat coverage, journals, and other sources ia the aoapateatHterature. 

The National Safety Council, National Fire Protection Association, and other similar organizations pubHsh technical information that describes general safety practices for use during the testing, handling, storage, and transport of sulfur (21,36—40). Each of these pubHcations include a Hst of references for additional health and safety information.

The Center for Chemical Process Safety (CCPS), a directorate of AIChE, was established in 1985 to develop and disseminate technical information for use in the prevention of major chemical accidents. The CCPS is supported by a diverse group of industrial sponsors in the chemical process industry and related industries who provide the necessary funding and professional guidance for its projects. The CCPS Technical Steering Committee and the technical subcommittees oversee individual projects selected by CCPS. Professional representatives of the sponsoring companies staff the subcommittees, with a member of the CCPS staff coordinating the activities of the sub-committee. 

This checklist presents detailed information for assessing VDU terminals and their workplaces. The items concern technical information about VDU characteristics but they do not directly consider the nature of the task performed using the VDU system. 

Data access The contact for technical information, the document ordering address and phone number, the report number to use when ordering, the cost where available, and the data or report accessibility, if relevant.
