Tuning The Forgotten Loop
By Steve Rubin, President and CEO, Longwatch, Inc.
The purpose of tuning loops is to reduce errors and thus provide more efficient operation that returns quickly to steady-state efficiency after upsets, errors, or changes in load. State-of-the-art manufacturers in process and discrete industries have invested in advanced control software, manufacturing execution software, and modeling software to "tune" everything from control loops to supply chains, thus driving higher quality and productivity.

| WEBINAR: Temperature-Modulated DSC Techniques (TMDSC) |
Wednesday, March 24
Temperature-modulated DSC techniques (TMDSC) are widely used in thermal analysis in industrial and university research laboratories to separate overlapping temperature-dependent and time-dependent thermal effects. Methods used up until now have overlaid the isothermal temperature or heating ramp with a (usually) sinusoidal temperature modulation of just one frequency (single frequency method). In contrast, TOPEM, the new, advanced, multifrequency temperature-modulation technique, uses a large number of different frequencies (multifrequency approach). Register for the Webinar today!
