Many transaction processing applications execute at isolation levels lower than SERIALIZABLE in order to increase throughput and reduce response time. The problem is that non-serializable schedules are not guaranteed to be correct for all applications. The semantics of a particular application determines whether that application will run correctly at a lower isolation level, and in practice it ...

a power divider (pd)/ power combiner (pc) with high quality factor and enhanced output ports isolation using substrate integrated waveguide (siw) technology is proposed. an siw cavity is designed to provide a high quality factor filtering response and an smd resistor is attached between two output ports to realize the high isolation. the value of the applied resistor is calculated by using the ...

A trench isolation technology employs trenches refilled with dielectric material to create, in a single layer, electrical isolation between mechanically joined components. This paper explores further use of this technology for MEMS fabrication, particularly the fabrication of electrostatic microactuators. Adding extra features to a two-mask trench isolation process new design opportunities, lik...

Sterile compounding in hospital, home care, and ambulatory care settings is undergoing changes. Barrier-isolation technology for the preparation of sterile compounding is becoming available. The regulatory influence of state boards of pharmacy and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on maintaining the sterility of parenteral products and that of the Occupational Safety and Healthy Administra...
