Wi-Fi Enabled Healthcare

Focusing on its recent proliferation in hospital systems, Wi-Fi Enabled Healthcare explains how Wi-Fi is transforming clinical work flows and infusing new life into the types of mobile devices being implemented in hospitals. Drawing on first-hand experiences from one of the largest healthcare systems in the United States, it covers the key areas associated with wireless network design, security, and support. Reporting on cutting-edge developments and emerging standards in Wi-Fi technologies, the book explores security implications for each device type. It covers real-time location services and emerging trends in cloud-based wireless architecture. It also outlines several options and design consideration for employee wireless coverage, voice over wireless (including smart phones), mobile medical devices, and wireless guest services. This book presents authoritative insight into the challenges that exist in adding Wi-Fi within a healthcare setting. It explores several solutions in each space along with design considerations and pros and cons. It also supplies an in-depth look at voice over wireless, mobile medical devices, and wireless guest services. The authors provide readers with the technical knowhow required to ensure their systems provide the reliable, end-to-end communications necessary to surmount today’s challenges and capitalize on new opportunities. The shared experience and lessons learned provide essential guidance for large and small healthcare organizations in the United States and around the world. This book is an ideal reference for network design engineers and high-level hospital executives that are thinking about adding or improving upon Wi-Fi in their hospitals or hospital systems

End-to-end efficiency quantification of an autonomous underwater vehicle propulsion system

Increasing demand for versatile and long-endurance autonomous underwater vehicles puts significant design pressure on all aspects of AUV design and operation, including that of the propulsive system. The present study discusses testing of a thruster unit and several propellers developed to propel a hybrid glider/flight-style underwater vehicle. Due to the AUV being required to operate at largely different speeds and thrust levels between the two configurations, the propulsive subsystem needs to be capable of remaining efficient and effective across a wide range of operating conditions. Thus, the current results focus on quantifying all of the factors affecting the drive train, ranging from open-water performance of the propeller up to electro-mechanical efficiency of the magnetic coupling and geared electric motor. It is shown that, depending on the required operating point, total efficiency of the vehicle is primarily affected by non-linear low Reynolds number effects, sudden drop of gearbox efficiency at low revolutions and applied torques, as well as blade deformation, aside of the baseline propeller efficiency
