Efficient Implementation of Software Release Consistency on Asymmetric Distributed Shared Memory

The shared memory system can reduce the cost of programming effort in the distributed memory systems. On distributed systems such as networks of computers, it is necessary to provide the shared memory model by software. We have proposed an “Asymmetric Distributed SharedMemory: ADSM”, that provides high-speed-update distributed memory access by software. The compiler for the ADSM translates the ...

Minimally invasive endometrial ablation device complications and use outside of the manufacturers' instructions.

OBJECTIVE To review the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Manufacturer and User Facility Device Experience database for reports describing serious adverse events and adverse events reports describing use outside of the manufacturers' labeled instructions for the five FDA-approved minimally invasive endometrial ablation devices. METHODS We queried the Manufacturer and User Facility Devic...

Challenges To Complex Equipment Manufacturers: Managing Complexity, Delivering Flexibility, and Providing Optimal Service

Reliability in the Shadow of Long-Stall Instructions

Soft errors due to cosmic rays are now a major concern for both computer manufacturers and end users. Due to continually shrinking silicon manufacturing processes and greater chip integration, the chipand system-level soft error rate is projected to continue increasing for the forseeable future. Due to these concerns, chip manufacturers have long designed cache structures (generally the largest...

Microbial Contamination of Orthodontic Buccal Tubes from Manufacturers

This study aimed to test the sterility of new unused orthodontic buccal tubes received from manufacturers. Four different types of buccal tubes were used straight from the manufactures package without any additional sterilizing step. Of these buccal tubes tested, three genera of bacteria, implicated as opportunistic pathogens, namely Micrococcus luteus, Staphylococcus haemolyticus and Acinetoba...
