Acquire database

These tests generate several Gigabytes of data that are fed into a historical database. Although most of the analysis is performed automatically, human interaction is still needed to compare current and past data. Data are stored on optical CD S s from which the historical data bank are retrieved during field inspections from a mobile unit. Each of these is equipped with a CD-jukebox linked to an analysis station. The jukebox can handle 100 CD s, enough to store all previously recorded data. A dedicated software pre-fetches the historical data and compares it on-line with the newly acquired NDT-data. It is based on fuzzy algorithms applied to signal features.

In a predictive and reliability maintenance program, it is extremely important to keep good historical records of key parameters. How measurement point locations and orientation to the machine s shaft were selected should be kept as part of the database. It is important that every measurement taken throughout the life of the maintenance program be acquired at exactly the same point and orientation. In addition, the compressive load, or downward force, applied to the transducer should be the same for each measurement. 

This is especially true in applications that use microprocessor/computer-based systems. These systems require a database that specifies the monitoring parameters, measurement routes, analysis parameters, and a variety of other information. This input is needed to acquire, trend, store, and report what is referred to as conditioned vibration data.

There has been a push for direct data collection (DDC) as an alternative to remote data capture (RDC). In this approach most of the required clinical data are acquired directly from existing patient record systems such as MRI machines, ECG, EEG, TTM, laboratories, and other measurement equipment. This approach eliminates the need for paper transcription and reentry to another system. It promises error-free and resource-efficient data capture, which allows early locking of the database and therefore potentially earlier product launch [30]. 

The type of system chosen determines the types of hardware and software needed. It also determines the processes for acquiring the necessary hardware and software. The hardware selection may include desktops, laptops, printers, scanners, fax machines, and storage devices, and the software selection includes the system development software, the database management software, the data communication software, the data conversion software, specialized proprietary software, servers, and hrewalls. 

For PyMS to be used for (1) routine identification of microorganisms and (2) in combination with ANNs for quantitative microbiological applications, new spectra must be comparable with those previously collected and held in a data base.127 Recent work within our laboratory has demonstrated that this problem may be overcome by the use of ANNs to correct for instrumental drift. By calibrating with standards common to both data sets, ANN models created using previously collected data gave accurate estimates of determi-nand concentrations, or bacterial identities, from newly acquired spectra.127 In this approach calibration samples were included in each of the two runs, and ANNs were set up in which the inputs were the 150 new calibration masses while the outputs were the 150 old calibration masses. These associative nets could then by used to transform data acquired on that one day to data acquired at an earlier data. For the first time PyMS was used to acquire spectra that were comparable with those previously collected and held in a database. In a further study this neural network transformation procedure was extended to allow comparison between spectra, previously collected on one machine, with spectra later collected on a different machine 129 thus calibration transfer by ANNs was affected. Wilkes and colleagues130 have also used this strategy to compensate for differences in culture conditions to construct robust microbial mass spectral databases.

Inventory (NFI) site and will thus help link the newly acquired data with that database. Partly because of the pilot aspect of the project and partly because of all the partners involved (7 different departments/ agencies), a large number (19) of samples from various soil horizons was collected at each site (Fig. 2). Such... 

Over the past 30 years, business automation systems and plant automation systems have developed along different paths, particularly in the way data are acquired, managed, and stored. Process management and control systems normally use the same databases obtained from various online measurements of the state of the plant. Each level in Figure 16.1 may have its own manually entered database, however, some of which are very large, but web-based data interchange will facilitate standard practices in the future. 

Figure 7 shows the relationship between a raw data channel and its associated metadata. If we were to choose the item highlighted Instrument Method , the embedded relational database would retrieve the exact version of the instrument method that was used to acquire the raw data. All this occurs in a fraction of a second. Imagine how long it would take using a conventional flat-file system (see Figure 8).
