In the eighties and early nineties, first steps towards this so called Electronic Fee Collection (EFC) have been undertaken. Existing toll operators are starting to equip some dedicated lanes for EFC. They still have the traffic channelled through the toll station, i.e. a so called mono-lane EFC system. 2, record 1, English, - electronic%20toll%20system

If a system of allocation such as a standard cost system with pre-determined rates is used, the amounts charged to activities during a month may be greater than or less than the expenditures charged to the suspense activity account in the same month. As a result, there may be a residual balance account in the same month. As a result, there may be a residual balance remaining in the suspense activity account a the end of each month during the year. These balances will be disclosed against the suspense activity account in the month and year-to-date columns of the monthly reports until allocated to the relevant activities. 2, record 2, English, - predetermined%20rate

Si la méthode de répartition utilisée est la méthode du prix de revient standard (qui repose sur des taux prédéterminés), les sommes imputées aux activités pendant un mois donné peuvent être supérieurs ou inférieures à celles imputées aux comptes d'attente pendant le mois en question. Par conséquent, le compte d'attente peut afficher un solde à la fin du mois, et ce, chaque mois de l'année. Ces soldes seront présentés en regard du compte d'activité dans les colonnes des rapports mensuels qui sont destinées au total du mois et au cumul annuel, jusqu'à ce qu'ils aient été répartis entre les activités pertinentes. 1, record 2, French, - taux%20pr%C3%A9d%C3%A9termin%C3%A9

Where the enzyme is expensive then the extra cost of immobilization, with its attendant promise of catalyst re-use, may be less than the cost of continually adding more enzyme to the reaction system. Thus the criterion of re-use of enzyme is important; so too is the stability of the immobilized enzyme in relation to the average residence time of substrate within the reactor. In order to obtain a high yield of product a balance must be struck between flow rate, reactor volume, and enzymic activity. High flow rates and small reactor volumes will give a small residence time and thus, for high product yield, will require a highly active enzyme preparation. Increasing the reactor volume will increase the residence time but will, at least in the case of the packed bed reactor, increase the quantity of immobilized enzyme required and thus the cost of the process. 1, record 6, English, - residence%20time

In an idealized reactor, all the fluid elements would spend the same time in the reactor. But in most real reactor systems, there would be a distribution of residence times of different fluid elements due to nonideal flow characteristics. Thus, space time is a parameter which describes only the macroscopic flow behavior. 2, record 6, English, - residence%20time

Le réacteur à lit fixe [...] se présente sous forme d'une colonne garnie par un lit fixe d'enzymes immobilisées. On peut l'alimenter soit à flux descendant, soit à flux ascendant. Dans le cas idéal, toutes les molécules traversent le réacteur à la même vitesse et y séjournent donc pendant le même temps. On dit alors que l'on a un écoulement piston. Dans la réalité, il y a un certain échange de matière par diffusion, ce qui se traduit par l'apparition d'une distribution des temps de séjour. 1, record 6, French, - temps%20de%20s%C3%A9jour
