Abstract In the medical arena, the number of uses for new technology is increasing rapidly. In the last few decades, physicians have been using more computerized tools and are basing their diagnoses on high-tech lab results. While the tools used for diagnoses — such as catscans, MRI’s and the myriad of other high-tech equipment — have improved greatly over the years, the method of storing these results into a medical record has not changed much. In fact, the medical system is using antiquated methods of paper-based record, and this results in inefficiency. The record-keeping system simply does not allow for the hightech equipment to be used to their greatest potential. Medical professionals are confronted with a basic issue: How should they manage the huge amount of different types of information so that they can improve medical treatment and upgrade patient care? The case study presented in this paper deals with the Emory Clinic, located in Atlanta, Georgia, which treats a very high volume of patients. This paper provides a study of the patient care process, development of an initial product data model, characterizes and identifies multimedia datasets and finally presents a screen mockup that reflect some of the datasets.

Though work on 3-d and later 2.5-d packaging has been going on now for over 5 years, we do not yet see large applications in areas other than traditional heterogeneous integration e,g. in camera modules. Adoption of 2.5-d Si interposer technology in 2010-11 to build FPGA modules on a commercial scale had generated much enthusiasm and expectation that floodgates will open for wide use of this technology e,g. in every Smart Phone but that has not yet materialized, giving rise to a shift in attention in Blogs and Conferences from purely digital applications e,g. processor - memory modules to more performance driven and cost insensitive applications e,g. heterogeneous modules for electro - optic I/O in servers etc. Roadmaps for emerging technologies like 3-d stacking or 2.5-d modules are developed taking process maturity into consideration but they must also anticipate major applications. Such applications using a new technology can succeed only if there are overwhelming advantages in performance and system cost that negate increases in module costs. When the author and his team developed electroplated solder bump flip chip technology and their high volume implementation at two of the leading IDMs over 2 decades ago, both performance ( electrical ) and cost modeling were used to short list applications most likely to succeed and limit process development only for those applications. Countless users & providers of flip chip technology since then have benefited from this original work on electroplated solder and pillar bumps as well as build up type organic substrate technologies. A similar theoretical approach is sorely needed in the development of 2.5-d and 3-d technologies to define the most cost - effective configurations and focus development work on only those. In this work we will discuss the Bandwidth and Power consumption ( two of the key drivers for die stacking ) of various 2.5-d and 3-d package configurations and based on simulation results compare them. Key takeaways : 3-d stacking of dice using TSVs may not necessarily produce improved performance compared to less complicated packaging. Expensive interposers with high interconnect density may not even be necessary for most volume applications. Most likely configurations for processor - memory 3-d modules to get good enough bandwidth at lowest cost.

There are a multitude of reasons that a teletinnitus program can be beneficial, not only to the patients, but also within the hospital and audiology department. The ability to use technology for the purpose of tinnitus management allows for improved appointment access for all patients, especially those who live at a distance, has been shown to be more cost effective when the patients travel is otherwise monetarily compensated, and allows for multiple patient's to be seen in the same time slots, allowing for greater access to the clinic for the patients wishing to be seen in-house. There is also the patient's excitement in being part of a new technology-based program. The Gulf Coast Veterans Health Care System (GCVHCS) saw the potential benefits of incorporating a teletinnitus program and began implementation in 2013. There were a few hurdles to work through during the beginning organizational process and the initial execution of the program. Since the establishment of the Teletinnitus program, the GCVHCS has seen an enhancement in patient care, reduction in travel compensation, improvement in clinic utilization, clinic availability, the genuine excitement of the use of a new healthcare media amongst staff and patients, and overall patient satisfaction.

New high-tech spheroidal graphite chromium-nickel cast iron with improved as-cast properties is developed. The technological advantages of the new alloy are shown in comparison with foreign cast iron of the type Nihard-4. High-quality castings of grinding elements made of new domestic wear -resistant cast iron are made in the conditions of Russian plants using the developed technology. Medium-speed coal grinding mills equipped with these grinding elements have successfully passed the operational test at domestic and foreign thermal power plants. The technical and economic advantages of the new technology in comparison with foreign ones are shown, which made it possible to guarantee the stable production of high-quality wear-resistant massive castings of complex c onfi guration using domestic materials under the conditions of Russian plan.

Record Review

Unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia in the newborn is the subject of the Record Review Guidebook prepared by the American Board of Pediatrics that accompanies this issue of Pediatrics in Review. Review of personal medical records will be part of the recertification examination to be given in 1993. This section of the journal focuses on record-keeping to assist our readers with their own patient care and to help them prepare for the examination. Care of the jaundiced newborn often involves management of a hospitalized patient by a physician who spends most of his or her time in an office away from the hospital. Details on the baby's hospital course are recorded in the nursery chart, but clinical information is often phoned to the office and immediate action may be necessary.

The Face

E-government tries to take advantage of new technology to provide better service to citizens. Some of the main challenges in the face of E-government are query processing high volume applications, data center management, data security and E-government services. Cloud computing can be a good option for responding to these issues and fixing them, and guarantee the realization of E-government, with maximum efficiency and maximum safety. In this paper, the authors propose a novel architecture for E-government by using Cloud computing architecture which can largely increase the integrity and security service in E-government, and also increase users' confidence in the system and may lead to increased participation.
