New tool makes programs more efficient without sacrificing safety functions

  • PDF
TechAndComputer (June 27, 2011) — Computer programs are incorporating more and more safety features to protect users, but those features can also slow the programs down by 1,000 percent or more. Researchers at North Carolina State University have developed a software tool that helps these programs run much more efficiently without sacrificing their safety features.

"These safety features -- or meta-functions -- can slow a program down so much...

Algorithm for exterior defibrillators that correctly identifies both adult and child arrhythmias

  • PDF
TechAndComputer (Mar. 21, 2011) — Ventricular fibrillation (VF) is a series of intense and disordered contractions of the ventricles (they are located in the lower part of the heart). In 40 % of respiratory arrests suffered outside a hospital, it was shown that the first cardiac rhythm corresponds to VF, and the only manner to combat it is with electric discharges provided by defibrillation. This is why the presence of Automated External...

New software calculates heating costs in greenhouse operations

  • PDF
TechAndComputer (Mar. 17, 2011) — In parts of the United States where ornamental and vegetable plants are produced in greenhouses during cold seasons, heating costs are second only to labor costs for greenhouse operators. Greenhouse growers are faced with important management decisions that rely on understanding how temperature settings, heating systems, fuel types, and construction decisions influence their heating costs. To address the lack of...
