-The trustworthiness of safety critical system (SCS) is very important. To assess their trustworthiness depends on data from test. In order to ensure the reliability and validity of test data, especially for such complex SCS, development of test languages is inevitable trend for automatic test of SCS. As general test language for SCS should be independent of specific equipment, in the paper typ...

omputers and communications networks transport data from multiple locations to multiple locations. Network configurations address Quality-of-Service issues (e.g., component reliability, equipment costs, data buffer sizes, bandwidth limitations, and routing protocols). Planning for and implementing network equipment, software, and security mechanisms costs hundreds of millions of dollars per yea...

Abstract: A multi-proposal mobile system for electroencephalography recording is here presented, which is based on a previous modification of a consumer EEG equipment, with the intention to be used for BCI proposes. Still, for test purposes, a reference displacement was done to compare the data with its original position. To validate this equipment, SSVEP and ERD/ERS trials analysis were done, ...

Although the intrinsic philosophy at the core of medical care has remained unchanged over the centuries, modern medicine is heavily dependent on pharmacological and technological advances. Effective medications, from analgesics and anesthetics to antibiotics and chemotherapeutic agents, are continuously being developed and improved. The sophistication and reliability of ubiquitous medical equip...

The paper focuses on the impact grid-connected, largescale photovoltaic (PV) has on the power system operation (stability, availability, reliability) and protection philosophy. It assesses qualification methods and standards of particularly the utility-interactive equipment (grid inverters), which directly influences the security of supply and power quality of the grid. Advanced emulation of gr...

reliability evaluation of a large-scale composite power system faces to numerous events/outage and consequently imposes an extensive burden of calculations. in order to simplify the problem, determination of an equivalent system for large-scale power system is inevitable. this paper proposes a framework as reduction technique to separate a composite power system to three areas: external area, o...

The development of modern science requires the equipment grid to provide a scientific collaboration research platform, which can realize remote collaboration and sharing with the key instruments and equipment in wide areas. The reliability and high efficiency of a grid service chain model are key points in creation of a grid equipment system. The π-calculus as powerful process algebra has a spe...

OBJECTIVES The weight bearing lunge test is increasing being used by health care clinicians who treat lower limb and foot pathology. This measure is commonly established accurately and reliably with the use of expensive equipment. This study aims to compare the digital inclinometer with a free app, TiltMeter on an Apple iPhone. DESIGN This was an intra-rater and inter-rater reliability study....

With ongoing smart grid activities, there are a number of active demonstration projects in different parts of the USA. In the northwest, a demonstration project is being implemented by Avista Utilities to improve the reliability and efficiency of the distribution system. This project includes automated management of the distribution system and bi-directional communication capabilities between t...
