Topic: Continuous operation


In the News (Mon 28 Dec 09)

  
  Continuous operation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Operation in which certain components, such as nodes, facilities, circuits, or equipment, are in an operational state at all times.
Continuous operation usually requires that there be fully redundant configuration, or at least a sufficient X out of Y degree of redundancy for compatible equipment, where X is the number of spare components and Y is the number of operational components.
In data transmission, operation in which the master station need not stop for a reply from a slave station after transmitting each message or transmission block.

 Developing A Continuous Operations Capability
Thesis: Developing a continuous operations capability is vital to sustaining the performance of Marine forces because it will slow down or negate the degrading effects of continuous operations, preserve the fighting capabilities of Marine units, and reduce the potential for battle fatigue (BF) casualties among Marines and leaders.
A continuous operations capability should not only be a goal for all units but a mission essential task necessary to ensure success on the battlefield.

 DD 3/6 Continuous Operation Clauses in Bankruptcy
The lease required continuous operation during specified hours, specifically as a Bullock's store, and the allegations were that the debtor's rent was considerably lower than market in exchange for this covenant.
During this entire period of time, the court continued the period during which the trustee had to assume or reject the lease.
There may be one here, but the court's language that breach of the continuous operation clause is not a breach of the lease may suggest even that there is no damage claim.

To provide continuous operation, six valves are used to control the suction and discharge of the flow compressor to the loop.
The valves used for continuous operation are Valves A, B, C, D, E, and F. The following paragraphs discuss how the valves are opened and closed to achieve continuous looping.
The loop could operate in a clockwise direction when the suction and discharge valves are as shown.

The authors carried out tests on short-term performance, long-term operation and no-load continuous operation using various kinds of unrefined rapeseed oil (deacidified oil, degummed oil and crude oil) produced in the process of refining, and refined rapeseed oil and light oil for comparison.
In addition to these 3 conditions, reliability and stable operation performance over long running periods and low carbon coating to the combustion chamber in the no-load operation with the substitute oil are required.
The conditions for no-load continuous operation for each kind of fuel included rated revolutions(2,400 rpm), and the target time of the continuous operation was 100 h.

 EPA: Federal Register: Transponder Continuous Operation
The FAA believes that continuous operation considerations should include inhibiting any further inputs from the ATC transponder control panel, for example any attempts to change beacon codes or to switch the transponder to standby, as well as for improving the security for electrical power to the transponder equipment.
To prevent this situation, operators who choose to install an additional and dedicated transponder to meet these proposed requirements should provide a means to inhibit replies from all other ATC transponders installed on the airplane at the time that this dedicated ATC transponder is activated.
The simplest, and quickest, solution for some operators is a transponder software upload, which is expected to be on the market for less than $3,000, and which could be accomplished on the airplane (that is, the transponder would not have to be removed).

 The Hindu : FBTR passes 53-day continuous operation test
R. Kapoor, Associate Director, Reactor Operation & Maintenance Group, IGCAR, said the fast-breeder technology developed indigenously was put to test for power generation and it demonstrated the ability to operate in a sustained manner when connected to the grid.
During the first synchronisation with the grid in 1997 the reactor was in continuous operation only for 12 days.
The grid synchronisation and the continuous run comes in the wake of IGCAR preparing itself for the likelihood of starting the construction of the fast-breeker nuclear power plant prototype by the end of this year.

The idea is that in these operations, they do not have the luxury of shutting down for holidays or only operating during normal business hours such as Monday to Friday from 9 to 5.
For example, in some trucking enterprises, the organization is divided into various components such as drivers, loaders, dispatchers, mechanics, etc. Many of the above workers may be necessary to the operation of the running of trucks, so are considered to be employed in a "continuous operation".
For others, such as office staff, they usually work in support of the operation by handling paperwork, billing, payroll, etc. Under these circumstances, they are not considered to be employed in a "continuous operation" since their presence is not required outside of normal business hours to keep the trucks running.

 Versitile enough to work with any ticket dispenser.
n the Continuous Input Operation the ticket drive input (pin 3 of the 8 Way JST connector) must be driven "high" to initiate ticket dispensing.
In the Continuous Output Operation the ticket drive output (pin 2 of the 8 Way JST connector) is driven "high" to initiate ticket dispensing.
However if it is a matter of choice the continuous operation for both the input and the output is preferable to a pulse operation.

 Converted WP file 21806
Both parties filed motions for summary judgment which focused on the issue of whether the lease agreement contained an express or implied covenant of continuous use, thereby obligating the appellee to continue to operate its drug store on the demised premises during the lease term and to pay the appellant percentage rentals due.
The appellant maintains that in Thompson Development we held that the existence of a noncompetition clause weighed in favor of implying a covenant of continuous operation.
The appellant is referring to the fact that the trial court concluded that (1) the lease agreement contained no inconsistent express terms and the percentage rental was substantial; (2) the tenant did not have free assignability of the lease; and (3) the lease contained a noncompetitive provision.

 Berardi v. Acme Markets, Inc.
The absence of a continuous operation obligation in an anchor tenant's lease does not necessarily mean that the tenant can board-up the premises if it continues to pay rent.
While the Court felt that the "no continuous operation" provision certainly appeared to grant the supermarket a "privilege" to close its store if it continued to pay the minimum monthly rental, it found that such a result was not the likely intention of the parties.
Furthermore, both the "no continuous operation" clause and the assignment and sublet provisions were intended to be protective shields for luckless tenants, not for use as swords of destruction against landlords.

 rediff.com US edition: "This will be a continuous operation": Rumsfeld
"The operation launched by the United States today will continue until we achieve our objective, which is to knock out the terrorist networks operating out of Afghanistan," Donald Rumsfeld, Secretary of Defence, said in course of a media briefing at the Pentagon around 3.30 pm EDT.
The defence secretary said that the operation was multi-pronged, and that the military force now in use would complement humanitarian, diplomatic and financial efforts now on to cripple and eliminate the terrorist network.
Rumsfeld said that the ongoing operation was intended to have several outcomes: To make clear to the Taleban that harbouring terrorists was unacceptable, to acquire information for further strikes against Al Qaeda, and to make it difficult for the terrorist fraternity to use Afghanistan as a base.

A storage vessel that functions adequately in a batch operation may not work well in a continuous operation, particularly when handling materials that exhibit time-dependent properties or tend to segregate.
Yet if a storage vessel is poorly designed for your operation, it can have discharge problems that ultimately reduce your product’s value.
Investing time in understanding how various vessel designs will work with your material’s properties when you switch from batch to continuous operation can ensure that the vessel you choose won’t rob value from your final product.
