The document discusses Health Level Seven (HL7), which is a standard for exchanging electronic health information. It describes HL7's origins in the seventh layer of the OSI model, which supports data exchange structuring. It then covers key HL7 concepts like message syntax, segments, delimiters, data types, and provides an example of a simple HL7 message structure and contents. The example message contains segments for a message header, patient identification, patient visit, results header, and multiple result details segments.
A microprocessor is an electronic component that is used by a computer to do its work. It is a central processing unit on a single integrated circuit chip containing millions of very small components including transistors, resistors, and diodes that work together. Some microprocessors in the 20th century required several chips. Microprocessors help to do everything from controlling elevators to searching the Web. Everything a computer does is described by instructions of computer programs, and microprocessors carry out these instructions many millions of times a second. [1]
Microprocessors were invented in the 1970s for use in embedded systems. The majority are still used that way, in such things as mobile phones, cars, military weapons, and home appliances. Some microprocessors are microcontrollers, so small and inexpensive that they are used to control very simple products like flashlights and greeting cards that play music when you open them. A few especially powerful microprocessors are used in personal computers.
The document discusses various data addressing modes used in microprocessors, including register, immediate, direct, indirect, base-plus-index, register relative, base relative-plus-index, and scaled-index addressing. It also covers program addressing modes like direct, relative, and indirect jumping and calling. Finally, it discusses stack addressing and how the push and pop instructions are used to place data onto and remove data from the stack.
This document provides an introduction to linked lists. It discusses structures and pointers in C, as well as static and dynamic memory allocation. Linked lists are introduced as a data structure that uses dynamic memory allocation. A linked list is made up of nodes, with each node containing data and a pointer to the next node. This allows linked lists to grow and shrink dynamically at runtime, unlike arrays which have a fixed size. Common linked list operations like traversal, insertion, deletion and searching are also mentioned.
Protected mode memory addressing allows access to memory above 1MB and uses segment descriptors to manage memory segments. The segment register contains a selector that indexes into a descriptor table, which describes a segment's location, length, and access permissions. Descriptors can define segments up to 4GB in size. Paging divides physical memory and disk storage into pages that are mapped to virtual addresses, allowing flexible and protected memory management.
The document discusses different addressing modes of the 80286 microprocessor including:
- Register addressing which uses 8-bit and 16-bit registers to specify locations.
- Immediate addressing where data immediately follows the opcode in memory as a constant.
- Direct addressing which transfers data between memory and registers using a memory offset.
- Indirect addressing which uses registers like BP, BX, DI and SI to hold memory offsets.
- Base-plus-index addressing which uses a base register and index register sum to indirectly address memory arrays.
- Base relative-plus-index which is a complex mode adding displacements to base and index registers to form a memory offset.
Address translation-mechanism-of-80386 by aniket bhuteAniket Bhute
The 80386 CPU uses a two-level address translation mechanism to map logical addresses to physical addresses. It first uses segmentation to translate logical addresses to linear addresses, then uses paging to translate linear addresses to physical addresses. Paging involves using the page directory and page tables, which are stored in memory and map 4KB pages to physical addresses. The TLB cache is used to improve performance by storing recently used page table entries to avoid having to access memory for translation.
The 80386 microprocessor provides 11 addressing modes, including register, immediate, direct, register indirect, based, index, scaled index, based index, based scaled index, based index with displacement, and based scaled index with displacement addressing modes. These addressing modes indicate how the source and destination addresses for instructions are accessed and located in memory or registers. The addressing modes allow data to be accessed using registers, immediate values, memory addresses formed from registers and offsets.
Vertex buffers contain vertex data like position, texture coordinates, and normals. Index buffers contain integer offsets that reference vertices in vertex buffers to efficiently define primitives. Constant buffers allow shader code to efficiently access constant data in the graphics pipeline. Buffer resources are unstructured collections of typed data elements that can store vertex attributes, indices, and constants and play an important role in 3D projects using Direct3D.

Coclustering Base Classification For Out Of Domain Documentslau
This document presents a co-clustering based classification algorithm (CoCC) for classifying documents from a related but different domain (out-of-domain documents) by utilizing labeled documents from another domain (in-domain documents). CoCC aims to simultaneously cluster out-of-domain documents and words to minimize the loss of mutual information, outperforming traditional supervised and semi-supervised algorithms. While CoCC achieved good performance, its time complexity can be inefficient due to the large number of word clusters. Future work will focus on speeding up the algorithm.
Protected Addressing Mode allows the operating system to use virtual memory, paging, and multi-tasking features to increase control over applications. It enables access to memory above 1MB by changing from a segment+offset scheme to logical to physical address translation using descriptor tables and paging. Paging organizes physical memory into pages of 4KB each that are mapped to linear addresses using page directories and page tables controlled by CPU registers like CR3 for the page directory base address.
Adbms 22 dynamic multi level index using b and b+ treeVaibhav Khanna
A single-level index is an auxiliary file that makes it more efficient to search for a record in the data file.
The index is usually specified on one field of the file (although it could be specified on several fields)
One form of an index is a file of entries <field value, pointer to record>, which is ordered by field value
The index is called an access path on the field
Structures allow users to define custom data types that group together variables of different types under a common name. Structures can contain arrays of other structures to create complex data structures. Nested structures contain structures within other structures, and can be defined separately or embedded within the containing structure. Pointers to structures allow structures to be passed to functions and their members accessed using the arrow operator.
Memory segmentation in the 80386 processor allows programs to access separate segments of memory. Segments are defined by descriptors that specify attributes like the base address, length, type and privilege level. Descriptors are stored in tables like the Global Descriptor Table which the processor uses to enforce memory access privileges and boundaries for each segment.
The document discusses memory segmentation in the Intel 8086 processor. It explains that the 8086's 1MB of memory is divided into segments of varying sizes, including code, data, stack, and extra segments. Each segment is addressed by a 16-bit segment register that stores the segment's base address. To generate the full 20-bit physical address, the base address is combined with a 16-bit offset value contained in registers like IP, BX, DI, SI, and SP. This allows each segment to be up to 64KB in size. Examples are provided to demonstrate how logical addresses are translated to physical memory locations using the segment registers and offsets.
BTEQ can export data directly from Teradata to external files using different export formats. The export formats include record mode, field mode, and indicator mode. Record mode exports data in its native format as a flat file, field mode exports data in a human-readable format similar to SQL with headers and spacing, and indicator mode exports data in record mode along with a bitmap to identify null values and allow proper loading into other database systems.
This document summarizes the architecture and instruction set of the 8086 microprocessor. It describes the execution unit containing the control unit, ALU, registers, and flags. It also details the bus interface unit and its instruction stream and segment registers. The document outlines the 8086's addressing modes including implied, register, immediate, and based indexed modes. It provides overviews of the 8086's data transfer, arithmetic, logical, string, program transfer, and processor control instructions.

This work constructs the membership functions of the system characteristics of a batch-arrival queuing system with multiple servers, in which the batch-arrival rate and customer service rate are all fuzzy numbers. The -cut approach is used to transform a fuzzy queue into a family of conventional crisp queues in this context. By means of the membership functions of the system characteristics, a set of parametric nonlinear programs is developed to describe the family of crisp batch-arrival queues with multiple servers. A numerical example is solved successfully to illustrate the validity of the proposed approach. Because the system characteristics are expressed and governed by the membership functions, the fuzzy batch-arrival queues with multiple servers are represented more accurately and the analytic results are more useful for system designers and practitioners.
Although fuzzy systems demonstrate their ability to
solve different kinds of problems in various applications, there is an increasing interest on developing solid mathematical implementations suitable for control applications such as that used in fuzzy logic controllers (FLC). It is well known that, wide range of parameters is needed to be specified before the construction of a fuzzy system. To simplify in a systematic way the design and construction of a general fuzzy system, and without loss for generality a full parameterization process for a singleton type FLC is proposed in this paper. The resented methodology is very helpful in developing a universal computing algorithm for a standard fuzzy like PID controllers. An illustrative example shows the simplicity of applying the new paradigm.

MODELLING TRAFFIC IN IMS NETWORK NODESijdpsjournal
This document discusses modeling traffic in IMS network nodes. It presents equations to model the traffic entering key IMS nodes like the CSCFs. Three common queueing models are analyzed: processor sharing, infinite server, and preemptive arbitrary service. The processor sharing model is well-suited for nodes that host traffic engineering intelligence. Distribution formulas are provided for each model. Future work includes considering limited buffer sizes and priority management to better model IMS node traffic.
The OSI reference model defines a 7-layer framework for how information from an application is transmitted across a network. It specifies that data moves from the application layer, through various layers that prepare and transmit the data, to the physical layer which transmits signals across a medium. The layers include application, presentation, session, transport, network, data link, and physical. Protocols like TCP/IP map to these layers to enable communication between devices.
A downlink scheduler supporting real time services in LTE cellular networksUniversity of Piraeus
The wide spread of real-time services in wireless networks demands scheduling mechanisms supporting strict Quality of Service (QoS) requirements. Nevertheless, the specifications of the LTE standard for mobile connectivity defined by the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) does not impose any specific scheduler for the proper allocation of resources to services. Therefore, several LTE schedulers have been proposed in the literature meeting the QoS requirements of modern services. In this paper a QoS aware scheduler for the LTE downlink is proposed namely the FLS-Advanced (FLSA) aiming at prioritizing real-time traffic. The proposed scheduler has been built on three distinct levels assigning the available radio resources to services according to their requirements. Based on simulation results, the FLSA outperforms in terms of packet loss ratio, attainable throughput and fairness the performance of existing schedulers including PF, MLWDF, EXP/PF, FLS, EXP RULE and LOG RULE.

Based on signaling system- No.7 , a device named REMOTE CONTROL OBSERVER has been developed. The purpose of this device is to start, switch off, open, lock, break down and display the location of the vehicle on the electronic map which is fixed inside it; also it enables the Security Department to locate the place and direction of vehicle inside the GSM Network. The device is consists of a screen (displays the electronic map), and a box consists of a device similar to the cellular phone (with few differences ) , batteries and electronic circuit used to break down the electrical circuit of the vehicle ,where the device is subscribed with the GSM Network. The main advantage of this device is to use the available technologies and applications with adding and amending some of the programs and tasks for cellular phone and using the data base of the Home Location Register (HLR) and Visitor Location Register (VLR) by connecting a terminal to enable the user to search for any vehicle.
ANALOG MODELING OF RECURSIVE ESTIMATOR DESIGN WITH FILTER DESIGN MODELVLSICS Design
This document summarizes a research paper on implementing a low power design methodology for recursive encoders and decoders. It discusses how recursive coding can achieve better error correction performance at low signal-to-noise ratios compared to other codes. It then describes the design of a recursive decoder that uses the log-MAP algorithm to minimize power consumption. The decoder uses five main computational steps - branch metric calculation, forward metric computation, backward metric computation, log-likelihood ratio calculation, and extrinsic information calculation. It also compares the implementation of four-state and eight-state recursive encoders. The goal of the design is to optimize the power and area of recursive encoders and decoders.
Long-Term Evolution (LTE), an emerging and promising fourth generation mobile technology, is expected
to offer ubiquitous broadband access to the mobile subscribers. In this paper, the performance of Frame
Level Scheduler (FLS), Exponential (EXP) rule, Logarithmic (LOG) rule and Maximum-Largest Weighted
Delay First (M-LWDF) packet scheduling algorithms has been studied in the downlink 3GPP LTE cellular
network. To this aim, a single cell with interference scenario has been considered. The performance
evaluation is made by varying the number of UEs ranging from 10 to 50 (Case 1) and user speed in the
range of [3, 120] km/h (Case 2). Results show that while the number of UEs and user speed increases, the
performance of the considered scheduling schemes degrades and in both case FLS outperforms other three
schemes in terms of several performance indexes such as average throughput, packet loss ratio (PLR),
packet delay and fairness index.

Feeding plate for a newborn with Cleft Palate.pptxSatvikaPrasad
A feeding plate is a prosthetic device used for newborns with a cleft palate to assist in feeding and improve nutrition intake. From a prosthodontic perspective, this plate acts as a barrier between the oral and nasal cavities, facilitating effective sucking and swallowing by providing a more normal anatomical structure. It helps to prevent milk from entering the nasal passage, thereby reducing the risk of aspiration and enhancing the infant's ability to feed efficiently. The feeding plate also aids in the development of the oral muscles and can contribute to better growth and weight gain. Its custom fabrication and proper fitting by a prosthodontist are crucial for ensuring comfort and functionality, as well as for minimizing potential complications. Early intervention with a feeding plate can significantly improve the quality of life for both the infant and the parents.

HL7 Subject Domains
8. Message Syntax
• Message syntax describes the overall structure of
messages and how the different parts are recognized.
• Each message is composed of segments in specified
sequence, each of which contains fields also in a
specified sequence; these fields have specified data
types.
• Data types are the building blocks of the fields and may
be simple, with a single value, or complex, with multiple
components.
• These components themselves have data types, which
can be simple or complex, leading to subcomponents.
April 29th, 2003 Organizing and Searching Information with XML 8
9. Message Syntax
• HL7 V2 messages are sent in response to trigger events.
• The message name is derived from the message type and
a trigger event.
• The message type is the general category into which a
message fits.
April 29th, 2003 Organizing and Searching Information with XML 9
10. The trigger event
• The trigger event indicates what happened to cause a
message to be generated.
• Trigger events are specific to a message type.
• The full message name is ADT^A01
• (the “^” is the HL7 field component separator).
April 29th, 2003 Organizing and Searching Information with XML 10
11. Message Segments
• The message name is always entered in the ninth field of
the message header segment (MSH-9).
• Each HL7 V2 message comprises a set of segments.
• The overall structure and allowable content of each
message is defined in an abstract message syntax table,
which lists segments in the order in which they occur.
April 29th, 2003 Organizing and Searching Information with XML 11
12. Message Segments
• For example, a simple message, noting that a patient has
been admitted to the hospital contains the following
segments in the order shown:
– MSH Message Header
– EVN Event Type
– PID Patient Identification
– PV1 Patient Visit
April 29th, 2003 Organizing and Searching Information with XML 12
13. Message Segment
• The abstract message syntax also shows which segments are
optional and which can be repeated.
• Optional segments are surrounded by square brackets [ . . . ].
• Segments that are allowed to repeat are indicated using curly
braces { . . . }.
• If a segment is both optional and repeatable, it has both brackets
and braces [{ . . . }].
• Note that the order is not important: [{...}] and {[...]} are
equivalent.
April 29th, 2003 Organizing and Searching Information with XML 13
14. Delimiters
• Delimiters (such as field separators, component separators, and
subcomponent separators) are used to indicate the boundaries
between these elements.
• The segment terminator (carriage return) truncates segments.
• The delimiters are defined in the first two fields of the MSH
segment (MSH-1 and MSH-2).
April 29th, 2003 Organizing and Searching Information with XML 14
15. Delimiters
• Fields are named according to their sequential position within a
segment.
• For example, MSH-9 is the ninth field in the MSH segment and is
preceded by nine field delimiters.
• Two adjacent field separators (||) indicate an empty field.
• If an application wishes to state that a field contains null and
expects the receiving system to act on this, then an explicit null is
represented as |””|.
April 29th, 2003 Organizing and Searching Information with XML 15
16. Delimiters
• The component separator (^) separates the components of a field.
• Components are referred to by the segment, field, and position in
the field (e.g., MSH-9.1).
• For example, the MSH-9 field contains two components: MSH-
9.1 (message type) and MSH-9.2 (trigger event) and might be
represented as ADT^A01.
• The field separator truncates any components, not needed at the
end of a field. For example, the following two data fields are
equivalent: |ABC^DEF^^| and |ABC^DEF|.
April 29th, 2003 Organizing and Searching Information with XML 16
17. Delimiters
• The repetition separator (~) is used to separate the first
occurrence or repetition of a field from the second occurrence
and so on.
• The escape character () is used mainly in text elements to
bracket text for special processing.
• The escape character can be used to send delimiters within a
message.
• The subcomponent separator (&) is used to separate
subcomponents within components, providing an additional
level of granularity.
• Each segment is ended with an ASCII carriage return < CR >
character.
April 29th, 2003 Organizing and Searching Information with XML 17
18. Segment Definition
• Each segment is defined in a table such as that shown
below for the MSH Message Header segment.
• All HL7 V2 messages begin with a single MSH segment
and this provides an example of how segments are
defined.
April 29th, 2003 Organizing and Searching Information with XML 18
19. Message Header MSH
• The report header (MSH) contains common metadata
found in most messages, irrespective of subject.
• SenderID is a unique identifier for the sender.
• DateTime of message is the exact date/time, that the
sending system created the message. It is held in field
MSH-7. For example |20080805183015 + 0000|
indicates Aug 5, 2008 6.30 pm and 15 s GMT.
• MessageType is the HL7 V2 message type and trigger
event, transmitted in field MSH-9. Laboratory report
messages all have the content |ORU^R01|.
April 29th, 2003 Organizing and Searching Information with XML 19
20. Patient Identification Details (PID)
• PatientID refers to the patient identifiers (one or more),
which are used by the healthcare facility to uniquely
identify a patient (e.g., hospital number, NHS number).
• In HL7 V2 these identifiers are sent in field PID-3, with
the identifier in the first component (PID-3.1), an
optional identifier for the issuing authority in the fourth
component (PID-3.4), and an identifier type code
(required) in the fifth component (PID-3.5).
April 29th, 2003 Organizing and Searching Information with XML 20
21. Patient Identification Details (PID)
• For example, a patient with hospital number 123456 at
St Mary’s Hospital (SMH) may be entered as
|123456^^^SMH^PI|, where PI indicates that this is a
Patient internal identifier.
• If the sender only uses the NHS number, e.g.,
9999999904, this could be exchanged as
|9999999904^^^NHS^NH|.
• The repetition separator, ~, separates the combination of
both hospital number and NHS number, together:
• |123456^^^SMH^PI ~ 9999999904^^^NHS^NH|
April 29th, 2003 Organizing and Searching Information with XML 21
22. Patient Identification Details (PID)
• PatientName includes the first (given) and last (family)
name of the patient.
• These are provided in fields PID-5.1 and PID-5.2
respectively.
• Mary Smith would become |Smith^Mary|.
• DateOfBirth is recorded as a date in field PID-7 in
format YYYYMMDD.
• e.g., |19620114| for 14 January 1962.
• SexCode is in field PID-8, using an agreed coding
system, such as M = Male and
• F = Female, e.g., |M|.
April 29th, 2003 Organizing and Searching Information with XML 22
23. Patient Identification Details (PID)
• Patient address is transmitted in field PID-11, using the
following components:
• For example |14 Pinewood:
• Crescent^Hermitage^^^RG18 9WL|
• shows two lines of address and a postcode.
April 29th, 2003 Organizing and Searching Information with XML 23
24. Patent Visit (PV1)
• The PV1 (patient visit) segment is used in this example
for both the patient’s GP and the patient location at
which the sample was taken.
• Patient Location is the location at which the sample was
taken.
• This information is mandatory for infection control. It is
exchanged using the PV1-3 field (assigned patient
location), using a mutually agreed code.
• The patient’s GP identifier is shown in the PV1 segment,
field PV1-8.
April 29th, 2003 Organizing and Searching Information with XML 24
25. Request and Specimen Details (OBR)
• The laboratory allocates each specimen an accession
number, which is used to identify that specimen and any
derivatives.
• In HL7 this is referred to as the Filler Order Number and
is provided in field OBR-3.1.
• Lab Test Code records what was requested to be done.
An agreed code system, such as LOINC should be used.
It is provided in field OBR-4, component OBR-4.1 with
the text name in component OBR-4.2 and the name of
coding system in OBR-4.3.
April 29th, 2003 Organizing and Searching Information with XML 25
26. Request and Specimen Details (OBR)
• The date and time that the specimen was collected from
the patient is provided in field OBR-7, using format
YYYYMMDDHHMM. The time is optional.
• The specimen source is provided using an agreed code
or controlled vocabulary in field OBR-15.1 (e.g.,
WOUND SWAB).
• Body Site (desirable) states the part of the body from
which the specimen is taken. This is provided as a string
in field OBR-15.4 (e.g., FOOT)
• The doctor who ordered the test is recorded in field
OBR-16, using an agreed identifier in OBR-16.1.
April 29th, 2003 Organizing and Searching Information with XML 26
27. Result Details (OBX)
• Each separate result is entered as a separate OBX
segment, which relates to a single observation or
observation fragment.
• Observation Identifier (OBX-3) is the test that is being
done (the attribute being measured) and typically uses
LOINC or locally defined codes. Field OBX-3.1
contains the code; OBX-3.2 contains the human-
readable display text; OBX-3.3 contains the coding
scheme identifier if used.
• For example: |9999-9^Test name^LN|.
April 29th, 2003 Organizing and Searching Information with XML 27
28. Result Details (OBX)
• (OBX-5) is the value of the result and typically uses
SNOMED or SNOMED CT coding system.
• The value type – the data type of the observation value –
is specified in the Value Type (OBX-2).
• The code value is OBX-5.1, display text is OBX-5.2,
and code system identifier is OBX-5.3.
• OBX|1|CE|5182-1^Hepatitis A Virus IgM Serum
Antibody EIA^LN||G-A200^ Positive^SNM|
April 29th, 2003 Organizing and Searching Information with XML 28
29. Z-Segments
• HL7 V2 provides a facility for any users to develop their
own segments, message types, and trigger events using
names beginning with Z.
• Z-segments are widely used and are one of the main
reasons why there are so many different variants of HL7
V2 messages.
• Z-segments can be placed anywhere in a message. Some
message designers place all Z-segments at the end of a
message, whilst others place them adjacent to related
information.
April 29th, 2003 Organizing and Searching Information with XML 29
30. Data Types
• Data types are the basic building blocks used to
construct or constrain the contents of each element.
• Every field, component, and subcomponent in HL7 V2
has a defined data type, which governs the information
format in the element.
• HL7 V2 has 89 data types in all, but most applications
use only a small number of common data types.
• Simple data types contain just a single value, while
complex data types may contain more than one sub-
element, each of which has its own data type.
April 29th, 2003 Organizing and Searching Information with XML 30
31. April 29th, 2003 Organizing and Searching Information with XML 31
32. Simple Data Types
• DT (date) represents a date in format: YYYY[MM[DD]]. For
example, 2 August 2008 is represented as 20080802.
• DTM (date/time) is used to represent an event date and time
including time zone if required.
• ID represents a value from a HL7-defined table. Users are not
allowed to add their own values.
• IS represents a value from a user-defined table.
April 29th, 2003 Organizing and Searching Information with XML 32

sign and may contain a decimal point.
• ST (string) is used for short strings up to 200 characters.
• TX (text) is used for longer texts up to 64 K characters. In the TX
data type the repetition separator (~) is used to indicate a hard
carriage return (line break).
April 29th, 2003 Organizing and Searching Information with XML 33
34. A Simple Example
• The following example is from a simple feed of laboratory test
reports from a microbiology laboratory to an infection control
monitoring system. Each report includes:
• A header stating the type, origin, and date time of the message
• A single patient with ID number, name, sex, date of birth, address,
and General Practitioner identifier
• Specimen details of the laboratory accession number (ID), source,
body site, time of collection, and requester
