Collision between mechanical equipment during the process of hydropower station construction frequently happens, and always causes great damage. Consequently, a set of collision early alert system, which employs GPS positioning technology, wireless microwave communication technology and virtual instrument technology, was developed. Functions of this system include dynamic picture display of the field model, sound light anti-collision alert of the mechanical equipment, remote monitoring of the running equipment, and fault diagnosis of the GPS equipment. With this system, the collision possibility among the various equipment in the process of operation was reduced. The paper mainly introduces the system’s hardware design, software design, collision calculation and so on. Practicability, efficiency and reliability of this system have been proved through experiment and practice in LONGKAIKOU hydropower station.

Introduction. Diagnostic and therapeutic guidelines, organized as sepsis bundles, have been shown to improve mortality, but timely and consistent implementation of these can be challenging. Our study examined the use of a screening tool and an early alert system to improve bundle compliance and mortality.Methods. A screening tool was used to identify patients with severe sepsis or septic shock and an overhead alert system known as Code SMART (Sepsis Management Alert Response Team) was activated at the physician’s discretion. Data was collected for 6 months and compliance with bundle completion and mortality were compared between the Code SMART and non-Code SMART groups.Results.Fifty eight patients were enrolled −34 Code SMART and 24 non-Code SMART. The Code SMART group achieved greater compliance with timely antibiotic administration (P<0.001), lactate draw (P<0.001), and steroid use (P=0.02). Raw survival and survival adjusted for age, leucopenia, and severity of illness scores, were greater in the Code SMART group (P<0.05,P=0.03, andP=0.01).Conclusions. A screening tool and an alert system can improve compliance with sepsis bundle elements and improve survival from severe sepsis and septic shock.
