  • Author:  Comerford, R.

  • Abstract:  Abstract Not content with dominating the market for desktop computer operating systems, Microsoft is now involved in a struggle for what could be an even bigger business-the real-time system software required by handhelds, set-top devices, and car PCs. In future, access to information over the Internet will be basic to most if not all applications. Adding support for Web access into the operating system is logical when it is viewed as a basic input/output function, and the size of the operating system is not an issue. But the general-purpose operating system, although bound to assimilate the naturally related browser technology, is not itself assimilable into some up-and-coming consumer areas. The technology of desktop Windows is inadequate for such new devices as hand-held and palm computers, Web-telephones, Web-to-TV set-top boxes, and automobile PCs. Accordingly, Microsoft's latest target is the need of these novel consumer electronic items for a real-time operating system (RTOS)-its home-grown Windows CE. The author discusses the competition between Microsoft and others in this new market

Chronobiometry with pocket calculators and computer systems.

  • Chronobiometry with pocket calculators and computer systems.

  • Selected methods for the study of biologic time series are reviewed and their relative merits are discussed in the light of underlying assumptions. Their potential applications are exemplified in several fields of biology and medicine. The monitoring of environmental integrity, notably of pollution, is investigated. The need for specifying optimal sampling requirements is underlined. An individualized and time-qualified definition of health by the establishment of reference intervals is required for increasingly rational individualized program ...

The use of a pocket computer for hemodynamic profiles.

  • The use of a pocket computer for hemodynamic profiles.

  • The pocket computer system for generating hemodynamic profiles is described. This system provides advantages over systems presently used to generate hemodynamic profiles because it is easy to program, simple to use, and is relatively inexpensive.

Pocket computer for interpretation of office spirometry.

  • Pocket computer for interpretation of office spirometry.

  • Office spirometry is an integral part of the evaluation of any patient with known or suspected lung disease. Though accurate and affordable bellows-type spirometers are available to clinicians, the available microprocessors that calculate test results markedly increase the cost of the equipment. I have successfully used an inexpensive pocket computer programmed to provide predicted values and interpretation of test results, printing this information in a format suitable for mounting in the office chart. The reliability of the results and interp...

 Use of a pocket personal computer in obstetric ultrasound.

  • Use of a pocket personal computer in obstetric ultrasound.

  • Obstetric ultrasound is of increasing importance in obstetric practice. The conventional ultrasound prediction of fetal weight and gestational age using various fetal parameters, like biparietal diameter, abdominal circumference, femur length etc have to rely on various different charts or tables, which are both laborious and time consuming. Three programmes in Basic language using a pocket personal computer have been developed and their application is presented in this paper.

 Pocket computer for real-time ultrasound.

  • Pocket computer for real-time ultrasound.

  • Real-time ultrasound has proved to be of value in fetal age determination, but calculation and interpretation of multiple parameters is time consuming and tedious. We present a program for use with the TRS 80 PC-2 or Sharp 1500 pocket computer and printer to provide rapid results of obstetric ultrasound studies. We also present a sample report. Using the pocket computer, we can have a complete, printed report before the patient leaves the testing area. The program has served us well, though it could be shortened, updated, and improved. The tota...

Pocket computer program for fitting the Hill equation.

  • Pocket computer program for fitting the Hill equation.

  • This paper presents a program written in the BASIC language for the Radio Shack TRS-80 PC-1 or the Sharp PC 1211 pocket computers for fitting the Hill equation to experimental data. The program is based on a procedure involving a combination of an optimization technique and non-linear regression. The program determines precisely all three parameters of the Hill equation and in addition, it performs a simulation of the kinetic experiment using the parameter values previously estimated, calculating the sum of squares of residuals.
