Background Disposable electrocardiographic lead wires (ECG-LWs) may not be as durable as reusable ones. Objective To examine differences in alarm events between disposable and reusable ECG-LWs. Method Two cardiac telemetry units were randomized to reusable ECG-LWs, and 2 units alternated between disposable and reusable ECG-LWs for 4 months. A remote monitoring team, blinded to ECG-LW type, asse...

Software component reuse is the software engineering practice of developing new software products from existing components. A reuse library or component reuse repository organizes stores and manages reusable components. This paper describes how a reusable component is created, how it reuses the function and checking if optimized code is being used in building programs and applications. Finally ...

The challenge of building efficient reusable software artifacts is the focus of several schools of thought in software engineering. Software analysis patterns are recurring and reusable models. However, there are several deficiencies with analysis patterns. These deficiencies make it difficult to use analysis patterns as efficient reusable artifacts. This paper proposes eight essential properti...

It is estimated that 2.5–10 bn disposable coffee cups are used every year in the U.K. Most of these cups end up in landfill or as litter, as the majority of poly-coated paper cups are not recyclable or not recycled. Here, we report on a field experiment that was conducted at twelve university and business sites to examine whether the use of reusable cups can be promoted through easily implement...

Aspect oriented (AO) programming enables designers and developers to manage, in a more modular fashion, implementations of crosscutting concerns (CCCs) that might be scattered or tangled if AO techniques were not utilized. Our interest in this paper is on considering techniques for specifying precise properties of aspects. In particular, we are interested in specifying reusable aspects; i.e., a...

Integrating software on board real robots requires to be able to share, distribute and reuse robotics software components among the robotics community. Many projects and frameworks have contributed to this problem. However, most of the frameworks concentrate on providing a particular architecture. This actually leads to a reduced reusability. We present ideas on what integration tools should do...

This paper describes the framework of internal hardware templates. These reusable templates can be instantiated, inside the FPGA, to the required precision. Thus, the resource utilization of the target RCMs can be improved. Moreover, the configuration time can be eliminated after the first use of the template. The detail design is presented.

Industrial control hardware may be reused for several purposes. The same industrial PC type may control the drives of a portal system, act as a programmable logic controller, or control any other device. Moreover the same piece of hardware may control different device types at the same time in concurrency. In this paper, we discuss four successive software engineering approaches to exploit the ...

Software design is a diicult creative task learnt from long experience. Reusable object-oriented design aims to describe and classify designs and design fragments so that designers may learn from other peoples' experience. Thus, it provides leverage for the design process. This paper surveys the eld, discussing software architectures, application frameworks, design patterns, and the design of c...

AbstructAn empirical study of methods for representing reusable software components is described. Thirty-five subjects searched for reusable components in a database of UNIX tools using four different representation methods: attribute-value, enumerated, faceted, and keyword. The study used Proteus, a reuse library system that supports multiple representation methods. Searching effectiveness was...
