The Intelligent Data and Visualization (IDV) Desk is a system which combines numerical simulation with high-definition visualization and large data storage into a single desk. These three sub-systems are interdependent. They are connected to the network to get external information from various imaging systems and to provide data mining and data processing. The IDV desk is used in endovascular a...

This paper uses airflow modeling and particle-tracking methodologies to compare the risk of contaminant deposition on an operating room (OR) surgical site and back table for different ventilation systems. The ventilation system designs considered incorporated commonly used diffuser types, in particular, conventional, laminar, nonaspirating, and displacement diffuser types. Further, a range of d...

In this paper, a new CBR system for help-desk environments is presented. This CBR system provides intelligent customer support for multiple domains. It is also portable and flexible. The system is implemented as a module of a complete help-desk application to make it as independent as possible of any change in the help-desk system. Each phase of the reasoning cycle is also separated as an indep...

The present paper is a review on methods and technologies for air cleaning from micro organisms and viruses, which are applicable with the present HVAC practices. The advantages and the drawbacks of air dilution, filtration (HEPA, ULPA), ultraviolet germicidal irradiation (UVGI), photocatalytic oxidation (PCO), plasmacluster ions and other technologies for air disinfection and purification is c...
