background: medical liability systems play an important role on doctors’ everyday practices and their relationship with patients. they can be established in two ways, fault-based and non-fault. basing medical liability upon the element of fault links it to various issues of medical ethics.  in this paper, we have studied the possible ways each system, could affect the applicability of values an...

Battery management systems (BMSs) are used in many battery-operated industrial and commercial systems to make the battery operation more efficient and the estimation of battery state nondestructive. The existing BMS techniques are examined in this paper and a new design methodology for a generalized reliable BMS is proposed. The main advantage of the proposed BMS compared to the existing system...

development of monitoring systems to fault detection, in offensive and defensive systems, uav, aircraft and other complex systems technically make it possible and favorable, predictive diagnosis of faults. health management model and predict equipment failures (phm) were created in recent years by formation a strong bond of science in engineering, computer and reliability. for this reason, more...

current inversion condition leads to incorrect operation of current based directional relay in power system with series compensated device. application of the intelligent system for fault direction classification has been suggested in this paper. a new current directional protection scheme based on intelligent classifier is proposed for the series compensated line. the proposed classifier uses ...

This paper presents a distributed network management system which provides a means to manage communication network for distributed systems. For efficient network management, the multi-level domain approach has been used. Management function (Configuration , Fault, Performance management) is distributed in each management domain. The management system was composed of several elements. Some of th...

introduction: voluntary counseling and testing (vct) for hiv infection is a confidential service offered to individuals in the community. this study intended to present a pattern for regional surveillance of vct services in iran. methods: this was an applied descriptive study. at first, the existing regional vct surveillance in 2009 was investigated through visiting the clinical deputy of medic...

The reliable execution of a mobile agent is a very important design issue in building a mobile agent system and many fault-tolerant schemes have been proposed so far. To further develop mobile agent technology, reliability mechanisms such as fault tolerance and transaction support are required. For this purpose, we first identify two basic requirements for fault-tolerant mobile agent execution:...

System level virtualization provides several advantages: (i) customization is eased since virtual machines may be based on different systems; (ii) virtual machines are isolated from hardware, subsequently applications are isolated via the virtual machines; (iii) basic fault tolerance mechanisms – pro-active fault tolerance through virtual machine migration and virtual machine snapshot/restore; ...

This paper proposes a new tool for analysis of power system disturbance. The information from proposed analysis method is useful to many control, operation and protection applications such as reliability analysis, asset management and outage management. Development of automated disturbance analysis and fault location software is introduced. Concerns in implementation, including source of data, ...
