BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The use of 3.0-T MR systems is increasing worldwide. We evaluated magnetic field interactions and translational attraction for 32 aneurysm clips in association with exposure to "long-bore" and "short-bore" 3.0-T MR imaging systems. METHODS Thirty-two different aneurysm clips were evaluated in this investigation. Each aneurysm clip was qualitatively evaluated for magneti...

The paper describes the structure of a CLIPS program representing an ontology class in an ontology-driven information system builder. The program has a specific format which is presented in the paper. A set of programs can be used to quickly and easily create an ontology-driven information system when loaded in a C++ core which interoperates with an instance of a CLIPS interpreter. An example b...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Aneurysm clips need to be tested at 3T to characterize MR imaging concerns, including magnetic field interactions, MR imaging-related heating, and artifacts. Therefore, we evaluated these risks for aneurysm clips. MATERIALS AND METHODS Three different MP35N aneurysm clips (Codman Slim-Line Aneurysm Clip, straight, blade length 25-mm; Codman Slim-Line Aneurysm Clip Graft...

There are two main approaches to the design Business Rules. The first one involves formalized methods that strictly define the syntax and semantics of rules. This approach usually requires technical skills or conceptual knowledge and therefore is not appropriate for everyone. In the second approach, dedicated rule languages are used for facilitating rules specification. Nevertheless, such langu...

The purpose of this paper is to explore an implementation of a rule-based system for generating costs for an on-road autonomous vehicle using the C Language Production System (CLIPS). In this context, costs are numeric values that represent a penalty the vehicle incurs by taking a certain action or occupying a state.
