Service Blocks Sample Clauses

Service Blocks. 12.1. The TKS is entitled to block the service completely or partly if the TKS has significant knowledge that the phone number use has caused repeated or serious violations of legal prohibitions in the meaning of § 45o TKG.

Service Blocks. Executive Block In addition to the four computational blocks mentioned above, six service blocks are utilized. The Executive Block assigns logical unit numbers to off-line files (disk/tape/drum) and determines the block or sequence of blocks to be executed. All access to the computational and service blocks and transfers between them must pass through the MAIN program of the Executive Block. Transfers are accomplished on off-line devices (disk/tape/drum) that may be saved for multiple trials or permanent record using control parameters described in Section 2. Dependency on machine-dependent job control language should be minimized. Graph Block Line-printer plots of hydrographs, pollutographs and other time series output may be obtained using the Graph Block, which is documented along the Executive Block in Section 2. Measured as well as predicted time series may be plotted. Alternatively, the user may access the time series file (known in this manual as the “interface file”) for plots by other graphics software. Combine Block This block allows the manipulation of multiple interface files in order to aggregate results of multiple previous runs for input into subsequent blocks. In this manner large, complex drainage systems may be partitioned for simulation in smaller segments. Rain Block Continuous simulation relies upon precipitation input using long-term data available on magnetic tapes from the National Weather Service (NWS) National Climatic Data Center in the United States or Atmospheric Environment Service in Canada. The Rain Block processes NWS tapes for input into the Runoff Block. A synoptic statistical analysis may also be performed on rain- fall data, similarly to the EPA SYNOP program (Hydroscience 1976, 1979). Temp Block In a similar manner, the Temp Block processes NWS long-term temperature data for input into the Runoff Block for snowmelt calculations. Statistics Block Output from continuous simulation can be enormous if results for every time step are printed. Even the monthly and annual summaries contain more information than may easily be assimilated. The Statistics Block has the capability to review the time step output from a continuous (or single event) simulation, separate output into discrete storm events, rank the events according to almost any desired criterion (e.g., peak or average runoff rate, pollutant load, etc.), assign empirical frequencies and return periods to runoff and pollutant parameters, tabulate and graph the results,...
