Review Of Reviews

Introduction This paper is a systematic review of the relevant literature surrounding the implementation and utilisation of eHealth to identify key challenges and opportunities to future eHealth applications. Methods NHS Evidence, PubMed, IEEE Explorer, Cochrane Library and JMIR Publications were all searched for reviews published between 1 January 2010 and 30 June 2017. Results A total of 47 papers met the final inclusion criterion. The published literature focused on a wide array of challenges categorised into five areas, facing the implementation and utilisation of eHealth; from this, four areas of opportunity to advance eHealth were identified. Discussion The five challenge areas are (C1) stakeholders and system users, (C2) technology and interoperability, (C3) cost-effectiveness and start-up costs, (C4) legal clarity and legal framework and (C5) local context and regional differences. The four opportunity areas are (O1) participation and contribution, (O2) foundation and sustainability, (O3) improvement and productivity and (O4) identification and application. Conclusion The literature analysed in this systematic review identifies design and implementation priorities that can guide the development and utilisation of future eHealth initiatives.

Computer Controlled

In this article we discuss the design and implementation of a computer controlled instructor workstation. The original design consisted of an AT-class computer controlling a laser videodisc player, with graphics overlay, data acquisition, administrative support, and central file serving included. We include the background leading to the decision to develop an instructor workstation, as opposed to a standalone tutorial system; goals of the system design; rationale behind the choice of programming language used; description of the system design; and description of the current configuration. As currently implemented, the system consists of a controlling computer, the videodisc player, and the central file server.

Minority Entrepreneurs

The role new start-ups may play in the economic recovery has been thrust into the political limelight, with a number of policy makers and advocates calling for network interventions to stimulate and foster an environment conducive to their growth and development. However, the design and implementation of these policies may have differential effects for low-wealth minority enterprises. In this article, the author draws on social resource theory to conceptualize the effects of social networks on access to financial resources. The findings suggest that disparities do exist among low-wealth minority enterprises in the amount of social resources they possess as well as in the formal financial resources obtained. Low-wealth minority enterprises that do obtain a higher level of formal financial resources have upward connections to those that possess greater social resources. The research has implications for the design and implementation of policies geared toward low-wealth minority entrepreneurs.

Secondary Hazards

Hazardous thermal hydraulic loading conditions and unintended plant shut downs from turbine trips that are identified shortly after a plant start up may be the tip of the iceberg of even greater interrelated hazards and costly damages. This paper presents a case study to further illustrate (from ASME PVP2002-1124 paper) additional considerations for the testing and risk analysis to identify a systematic approach to reduce the hazards and risks of equipment failure from thermal hydraulic forces and secondary hazards (such as fires) to the plant and personnel. This paper examines problems of turbine trip caused by fuel computer controlled regulator valves that results in thermal hydraulic forces from compressor pressure wave surges in the process system that result in piping “Y” fitting (45° laterals) failures in the process piping from crack growth and brittle fracture which lead to process chemical release and fires.

Abstract This paper describes the design, fabrication, and testing of “Bigfoot,” a bipedal walking machine designed to optimize speed, cost, and ease of assembly. Bigfoot walks at near-human walking speed (0.24 m/s), can be assembled/disassembled in two hours, and has a programmable, computer-controlled start-up procedure. Design for manufacturing and assembly techniques (DFMA) were used to reduce the final weight of the robot to 12 kg, the number of structural parts to 39 individual pieces held together with 50 fasteners, and the final robot cost to $300.
