Fundamentals of CIM Technology

Exploiting Multidatabase Technology for CIM

We describe an approach to the realisation of CIM systems through the coordination of autonomous component systems based on the exploitation of multi-database technologies. Each component system is augmented by a CIM Agent which provides a coordination interface; the interface speciies globally important local objects in terms of a global semantic model. System-wide consistency is ensured throu...

Modeling and Analysis Fundamentals of Technology

This presentation shows fundamental elements for models that are ICT-technology related. Basic hardware functions are discussed: storage, communication and computing with fundamental characteristics, such as throughput, latency, and capacity. A system is build by layers of software on top of hardware. The problem statement is how to reason about system properties, when the system consists of ma...

Polymer Nanocomposite Technology, Fundamentals of Barrier

The term “nanocomposite” is widely employed to describe an extremely broad range of materials, where one of the components has a dimension in the sub-micron scale. A better –and far more restrictive– definition would require that a true nanocomposite should be a fundamentally new material (hybrid) in which the nanometer scale component or structure gives rise to intrinsically new properties, wh...

Pulse oximetry: fundamentals and technology update

Oxygen saturation in the arterial blood (SaO2) provides information on the adequacy of respiratory function. SaO2 can be assessed noninvasively by pulse oximetry, which is based on photoplethysmographic pulses in two wavelengths, generally in the red and infrared regions. The calibration of the measured photoplethysmographic signals is performed empirically for each type of commercial pulse-oxi...
