To date, most work has been focused on how to enhance the process control loop itself or how to interact directly with the process and the control system. For near term applications, we claim that artificial intelligence should be used purely in a monitoring role. Rather than being involved in the active control of the system, artificial intelligence should be used to identify and assist with rapidly correcting any problems which cause the process control system to fail.</p><p>We also claim that it is too early to be concerned with real time issues. Rather, the emphasis should be on on-line systems, with particular emphasis placed on aids in knowledge base development and trending capabilities to provide early prediction of failure.</p><p>We have developed a system called <em>Annie</em> that embodies these principles into a working process monitoring system.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100043,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Engineering Software (1978)","volume":"12 3","pages":"Pages 129-132"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1990-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/0141-1195(90)90029-6","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"53543340","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Thus, during natural movements, forces can act on a limb segment even if a segment is not exposed to active muscle forces. Passive reactions arise from forces in tendons, ligaments, and peri-articular tissues, as well as from dynamical limb reactions related to inertial, Coriolis, and centripetal forces. Consequently, limb trajectories are influenced not only by active muscle forces but also by passive, intersegmental forces. For a more complete understanding of movement control, it is important to explain the mechanisms by which active and passive forces are coordinated. To achieve this, an analysis of limb intersegmental dynamics is essential, and here we provide a detailed description of the equations used for the planar analysis of limb intersegmental dynamics from spatial coordinate-time data, as well as the FORTRAN software to perform those calculations.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100043,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Engineering Software (1978)","volume":"12 3","pages":"Pages 123-128"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1990-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/0141-1195(90)90028-5","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"53543172","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

After the shock wave, the fluid properties can be obtained if continuity, momentum and energy balance laws are used. The method to compute the thermal and caloric properties of the fluid is explained in brief. A suitable FORTRAN 77 computer code is proposed, developed, tested and run with the operating system VMS on a MicroVAX II. With minor changes, it can run with MS-DOS on a PC/XT. The refrigerant R22 has been used as a fluid. Its thermal and caloric equation of state and the corresponding values are given in the following subroutines.
