When accidents occurring in a factory automation (FA) system are analyzed, it is found that many of them cannot be expressed in terms of probability. They include accidents occurring when an interlock did not function as designed due to the dead angle in the object detection sensor, and those caused

✦ Synopsis
In this contribution an automation system for the control, measurement uptake, evaluation and visualization is presented as well as its application for two different flow-injection immunoassays.
Both systems are based on the principles of flow-injection analysis and were developed for a reliable, fast monitoring of relevant proteins in animal cell cultivation processes. One system uses a homogeneous assay with turbidimetric detection, the other a heterogeneous assay with an immobilized immunocomponent applying fluorescence detection. The on-line application during a mammalian cell cultivation as well as off-line measurements of medium samples are presented. The results obtained from on-line measurements are compared to ELISA results. The automation of the analysis systems with respect to its flexible control as well as the reliable evaluation of the measurement signals -even if they are severely distorted -are discussed in detail.

We have summarized current knowledge on the aging of the immune system in three vertebrate groups: fish, amphibians and birds. Available data are few due to difficulties in studying ageing in natural populations and in accurately determining age. In all vertebrates, the most obvious evidence of the
