Digital Equipment Corporation was a pioneering American company in the computer industry. It is often referred to within the computing industry as DEC.(This acronym was frequently officially used by Digital itself, but the official name was always DIGITAL.) Its PDP and VAX products were arguably the most popular minicomputers for the scientific and engineering communities during the 1970s and 1980s. DEC was acquired by Compaq in June 1998, which subsequently merged with Hewlett-Packard in May 2002. As of 2007 its product lines were still produced under the HP name. From 1957 until 1992 its headquarters was in an old woolen mill in Maynard, Massachusetts.

La raison pour laquelle les imprimantes à laser et les copieurs produisent de l'ozone, c'est qu'elles utilisent une décharge électrique de haut voltage pour transférer les particules d'encre sèche sur le tambour d'impression. Cette décharge électrique provoque une combinaison des atomes d'oxygène contenus dans l'air qu'elle traverse ce qui donne de l'ozone. [...] on trouve des imprimantes à laser utilisées depuis deux ou trois ans et dont le filtre à ozone n'a jamais été changé.

Subject field(s)
  • Foreign Trade
CONT

As with "mutual recognition" of goods and services, the policy is that once accredited in one EC Member State, this accreditation will be accepted throughout the Community. As with testing and certification, there exists European specification for testing laboratories(EN 45 000), drawn from the UK/ISO model. Multinational manufacturing companies such as Hewlett-Packard and Rank Xerox are already harmonizing their European bases of operation to ISO 9000/EN 29 000. Thus, their suppliers are necessarily being accredited to BS 5750/ISO 9000 as a means of remaining capable of supplying companies throughout the EC. The European equivalent of Canadian testing and certification organizations are known as "Notified Bodies", who access the responsibility of manufacturers to the regulations in European Directives. At the present time, it is not certain who will decide upon the credibility of a third-country Notified Body, although the EOTC is set to perform this task.(Europe 1992. Standards and Industrial Trade, article published in CGBB/DSS(Canadian General Standards Board].

Pour la Commission, l'important c'est que les organismes notifiés dans le cadre des directives communautaires participent d'une manière directe ou indirecte à tous les travaux de l'Organisation européenne pour les essais et la certification qui les concernent. Prenons l'exemple d'un comité sectoriel qui traite des machines. C'est au sein de ce comité que se discuteront le développement des normes, des pratiques relatives aux machines, etc. Il faudra donc que les organismes notifiés dans les directives concernant les machines soient impliqués dans ces travaux et y participent de façon active. D'une manière générale, les comités sectoriels de l'Organisation constitueront un cadre dans lequel seront abordés toutes les questions relatives aux normes, aux pratiques, à l'état de l'art de la discipline visée, ce qui touche au fonctionnement de ces organismes notifiés.

Gas chromatography(GC). The use of GCs for detecting organics is rapidly becoming a standard technique in air pollution analysis.... GC systems are reliable, expensive and extremely sensitive.... Commercial GC systems are provided by many companies, and systems by Finnegan, Hewlett-Packard and Varian are among the better known. Commercial ambient monitoring GCs are made by Bendix(8200) and Beckman(6800) and are called Ambient Hydrocarbon Monitors. Total organic content of the air with and without methane is measured with GC-FID systems.

For example, if a signal changes from 9. 999V to 10. 012V, a four digit DVM without overranging could measure the first voltage as "9. 999V", but would require a range change to make the second measurement with a resulting reading of "10. 01V. The 0. 002V change would not be seen. With overranging, the second measurement could be made as "10. 012V" with no loss of resolution. Taken from Hewlett-Packard.
