Using a simulated Emergency Medical Services (EMS) dispatch center during multi-casualty incident management, this study explored whether the presence of a separate situation display in a Command and Control (C2) setting might require attention at the expense of attending an individual task display, and how it influenced performance and situational awareness. Overall, participants always attended the task display more than the situation display. However, the situation display drew attention at the expense of attending less the task display. The presence of the situation display was related to improved performance and better situational awareness (SA), particularly in the projection level of the SA, which could account also for the better decision-making performance. Participants may have developed an attention allocation strategy to effectively utilize the information of the situation display and execute their tasks on the task display.

Phase-locked loops (PLL) is a phase and/or frequency tracking system, widely used in communication and control systems. The sinusoidal multiplicative type PLL still remains a recurrent model, due the fact that its derivation is originated from the maximum likelihood approach. In this note, it is showed as a generalized product, called q-product, which can be used to implement the phase detector and improve some important parameters of the PLL system, as the block linearity and pull-in characteristics. Numerical examples are presented in order to illustrate the proposal.

Energy saving can be maximized by rectifying the intermediate conversion processes involved during the utilization of solar energy. The system eliminates the transformation of electrical form of solar energy into another form by directly utilizing its electrical energy in the management and control of power supplies obtained from renewable (solar) and conventional (mains) energy sources. A current control scheme is presented in which current delivered by solar supply is used to control the current in mains supply in such a way that both currents are inversely proportional to each other. Any increment in solar current opposes mains current in the same proportion and vice versa. A balanced common physical output is resulted from the electrical load supplied by each source separately. A natural variation in solar radiation is utilized to fluctuate the solar current which is further used to change the mains current. Energy saving is maximized in this supply management by the optimal utilization of solar energy.

China building energy-saving technology is in the early stages of the development with energy high consumption and low energy efficiency. It is especially important to control each link of the building energy-saving for energy conservation. In construction of the envelope structure exists Some prominent effects ,such as the compilation and implementation of the construction technology, the review of design alteration, the performance measurement of materials and components, and control of construction technical measures, we should be implemented related inspection and control in all stages of the implementation process.
