This study investigated some aspects of the validity of walking speed recording in 15 normal subjects, 16 trans-femoral amputees and 8 knee disarticulation amputees . The variability and test-retest reliability of walking speed and the influence of simultaneous recording of E M G and goniometry on comfortable and fast walking speeds were studied. The variability between sessions was mainly dete...

• Lack of desi9n and en9ineering stall knowledge (and time) • Lack of central computer or MIS stall knowledge • Lack of operator or foreman acceptance • Lack of information on equipment and software capabilities • Lack of inside or outside programming capabilities • Lack of outside consultants to assist the effort • Lack of higher management interest • Lack of suppliers to take entire system re...

Reliability estimation plays a significant role in the performance assessment of mining equipment, and aids in designing efficient and effective preventive maintenance strategies. Continuous and random/irregular occurrence of failures in a system could be the main cause for performance drop of machinery. The accomplishment of a projected level of production is possible only by an efficient oper...

Reliability is the probability of equipment or processes to function without failure when operated correctly for a given interval of time under stated conditions. Equipment and processes failures waste money on unreliability problems. The business issue of reliability is control of failures to reduce costs and improve operations by enhancing business performance with affordable levels of reliab...

introduction: nowadays, medical equipment is essential to provide health care services in hospitals. since 20% of the hospitals costs are devoted to providing such equipment, an appropriate management is required to maintain it. in this study it is intended to investigate the maintenance management of medical equipment in hospitals. methods and materials: it is a cross-sectional study. the popu...

This article deals with the problem of Bayes and Maximum Likelihood Estimation (MLE) of generalized augmented strength reliability of the equipment under Augmentation Strategy Plan (ASP), where ASP is suggested for enhancing the strength of weaker / early failed equipment under three possible cases. It is assumed that the Inverse Gaussian stress (Y) is subjected to equipment having Inverse Gaus...

The overall performance of industrial conveyor systems for bulk depends on the reliability of individual system components and their arrangement. A model for dimensioning of large scale systems in the early design stage is discussed. In the model discrete event simulation is used for the modelling of equipment reliability and simple numerical integration is applied for the stacking and loading ...
