When the recorder sends an e-mail message, it locates the e-mail server and uses SMTP (Simple Message Transfer Protocol) to send the message to the e-mail server.
  • Page 261: Appendix F: Fuzzy Logging

    Appendix F: Fuzzy Logging What is Fuzzy Logging? is a real time Data Compression technique. Patent no. US 6,405,155 B2, Fuzzy Logging developed as an alternative to the more standard methods of recording data. Paperless Recorders are primarily used for exception recording. They spend most of their life trending and recording straight lines.
  • Page 262 Time Input Signal Continuously Sampled data: Fuzzy Logged data: 12 points only! Changing ‘slope’ requires more data points to be logged, to capture the shape correctly. Diagram 1 Points marked: are NOT logged, as they lie on an ‘imaginary’ straight line between points marked: The graph of the Fuzzy Logged data, looks identical to the graph of the sampled data, but has taken less than half the points to build it.
  • Page 263 What about slowly drifting inputs? Again – No Problem. The algorithm is processed in ‘Real Time’, i.e. as the reading is taken. As it already knows the previous logged readings it can calculate where the next point should be (assuming it’s on a straight line) – if the measured value does not equal the pre- dicted value, the point is logged as it no longer forms part of the straight line.
  • Page 264 It provides an excellent illustration of how less data points can be used to construct an iden- tical trace. Fuzzy Logged Sampled Logged Diagram 2. Note. This data extract was taken from a 56 hour temperature run, which resulted in approx- imately 1 Mbyte of sample data, and approximately 40 Kbyte of Fuzzy Logged data.
  • Page 265: Appendix G: F Sub Zero Sterilisation

    Appendix G: F sub zero Sterilisation The significance of F The F value is used in the pharmaceutical and related industries in the sterilisation of items. A brief summary is included here to give the essence of the meaning of the terms used. When items are subjected to sterilisation by heating, the rate at which micro-organisms are killed is dependent on the temperature.
  • Page 266 Because of this small, but increasing contribution to F once T reaches 100 ºC, and the fact that in this trace the temperature exceeds 121.11ºC, the F value reaches 15 at time t = 20 minutes, at which point the sterilisation is complete, and cooling begins. For some applications it is allowed to report the F value that is finally achieved as the sample cools back to the start temperature, in this example 100 ºC, and so the...
