PreMIS is a pre-hospital medical records system funded by the State of North Carolina and developed by the Department of Emergency Medicine at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. The system uses web data entry, mobile hand held devices, and batch import to collect incident records from EMS providers throughout the state of North Carolina. This data is then used for bio-terrorism su...

By defi nition, the term volunteer means “without pay.” Thus, a volunteer EMS system is one in which the EMS personnel are not paid.1 There are a multitude of different types and combinations of EMS systems as noted by both the 2006 Institute of Medicine report and the EMS Agenda for the Future.2,3,4 The issues associated with each EMS system can be signifi cantly different between urban and ru...

NC Med J July/August 2007, Volume 68, Number 4 ike other organizations, emergency medical services (EMS) systems have revenues and expenses. The unpredictability of calls and the oftentimes inefficient nature of EMS operations make EMS management and financing difficult. Annually, EMS costs patients, insurers, and the federal government billions of dollars. In fiscal year 2002, Medicare spent $...

With the development of microgrids (MGs), an energy management system (EMS) is required to ensure stable and economically efficient operation MG system. In this paper, intelligent EMS proposed by exploiting deep reinforcement learning (DRL) technique. DRL employed as effective method for handling computation hardness optimal scheduling charge/discharge battery storage in EMS. Since decision dep...

Electric vehicles (EVs) are seen as a necessary component of transportation's future growth. However, the performance batteries related to power density and energy restricts adoption electric vehicles. To make transition from conventional car pure vehicle (PEV), Hybrid Vehicle's (HEV) Energy Management System (EMS) is crucial. The HEVs often powered with hybrid electrical sources, therefore it ...

Nowadays the use of Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEV) is increasing dramatically. The HEV is mainly dependent on electricity and there is always a need for storage of charge. Fuel Cell (FC), Batteries and Ultra Capacitor are being used for the proposed HEV as an electric power source or as an energy storage unit. The aim of developing an energy management technique is to utilize the sources accord...

Without a doubt, the healthcare sector is one of most vulnerable sectors electricity outages. A microgrid system to be installed in hospitals, if well planned, may offer continuous and low cost solution for health-care. By constructing an Energy Management System (EMS) specific this study aims present significance using energy storage optimum schedule power utilization prevent lethal consequenc...

The automotive industry has been rapidly transforming and moving further from internal combustion engines, towards hybrid or electric vehicles. A key component for the successful adoption of aforementioned approach is their Energy Management Systems (EMSs). In proposed work, we describe in detail a custom EMS, with unique characteristics, which was developed installed hydrogen-powered prototype...
