background: the complexity of assisted reproductive technology (art) increased during the last decades. new scientific and medical findings as well as the statutory requirements for improving the safety and the outcome of art were the main impetus for its development. while therapy planning is done and art is used by the ivf centers, the medical support and monitoring of patients is conducted b...

The Medical Data and Picture Exchange platform (MDPE), as a teleradiology system, facilitates the exchange of digital medical imaging data among authorized users. It features extensive support of the DICOM standard including networking functions. Since MDPE is designed as a web service, security and confidentiality of data and communication pose an outstanding challenge. To comply with demands ...

The XML technology currently widely used in network communication is also able to play an important role in the automation system of the power system. Based on some specifications and standards of the current power system, the study conducted self-description of the information and data modeling of substation communication protocols with XML and its object-oriented technology, and discussed bas...

We show that the quantum nature of light can be used to hide a secret message within a photograph. Using this physical principle we achieve information-theoretic secure steganography, which had remained elusive until now. The protocol is such that the digital picture in which the secret message is embedded is perfectly undistinguishable from an ordinary photograph. This implies that, on a funda...

PACS is a system need for great investment and high technology, its development in China should give consideration to the national conditions of China. We propose the component PACS that rely on the component technology and can be developed synergicly, implement flexibly. We implement PACS by distributed component technology, use Internet browser to construct client-side, and design an open pro...
