Objectives This study aimed to identify problems and issues that arise with the implementation of online health information exchange (HIE) systems in a medical environment and to identify solutions to facilitate the successful operation of future HIE systems in primary care clinics and hospitals. Methods In this study, the issues that arose during the establishment and operation of an HIE sys...

Downhole drilling motors or mud motors are frequently used during the oil and gas well construction, especially for construction of directional and horizontal segments. However, low operation life of the down hole drilling motors and high rate of wear in their working elements may constrain their application due to technical and economical disadvantageousness. In this work, a high-torque modula...

Time delays in system subcomponents or control may result into unacceptable system operation or uncertainty in specialised technical systems like aircraft control, plant control, robotics, etc. In parallel computing, different computing subunits share their tasks to balance loads to increase performance and throughput. To be able to do so, subsystems have to communicate among themselves, which ...

Generically system includes two types of categories, computerized based system and socio-technical system; the difference between both types of systems is that the socio-technical systems deals with technical operation and involves the users. Information system that deals with the flow of information regarding business and social perspective falls in socio-technical based system. ERP (Enterpris...

Multifunctional battery storage system. In the national research project " Multifunctional Battery Storage System (MBS) " open questions were answered concerning the technical feasibility and profitability of a grid-connected battery storage system using a vanadium-redox-flow battery in combination with the renewable power generation plants PV and small wind power (Sterrer et al., Multifunktion...

This technical report introduces a real-time per-clock-cycle energy measurement technique for power analysis and reduction of synchronous state machines. This technique guarantees accuracy with a sampling rate of twice the clock frequency under spiky current draw common in digital systems. In addition, it acquires the energy consumption profile in real-time, thus, not requiring repeated operati...

background: several reservoir systems have been constructed for hydropower generation around the world. hydropower offers an economical source of electricity with reduce carbon emissions. therefore, it is such a clean and renewable source of energy. reservoirs that generate hydropower are typically operated with the goal of maximizing energy revenue. yet, reservoir systems are inefficiently ope...

Deception systems have produced promising results in protecting networks from recent attack campaigns. Their development and operation, however, is regulated by technical and legal circumstances. There are several aspects to be considered when operating a deception system, such as privacy, entrapment and liability. In addition to these general aspects, domain specific law that, for example, app...

This paper is a summary overview of a study conducted at the NASA Marshall Space Flight Center (NASAMSFC) during the initial phases of the Space Launch Initiative (SLI) program to evaluate a large number of technical problems associated with the design, development, test, evaluation and operation of several major liquid propellant rocket engine systems (i.e., SSME, Fastrac, J-2, F-I). One of th...
