Record linking

Decide How Objects, Links, and Actions Are Implemented. This is highly dependent on the answers to the preceding question. Each component may have its own internal representation of objects as C structures, as Java or C++ objects, or as files or database records. Links may be memory addresses, URLs, CORBA identifiers, database keys, or customer reference numbers, or they may be refined to further objects. Actions may be further refined and ultimately be function calls, Ada rendezvous, signals, or Internet messages. 

Subpart — Electronic Records Sec. 11.70 Signature/record linking. 

Audit trails refer to a journal that records modifications to electronic records. The persons or automated processes operating on the user s behalf may perform these modifications. The audit-trail mechanism provides the capability to reconstruct the data prior to a modification, and therefore must not obscure the previously recorded data. The tracking mechanism must include a computer-generated time stamp that indicates the time of the entry. Audit trails are computer generated and can be part of the record that has been modified or a standalone record linked to the modified record. 

The firm s assessment of the computerized systems such as XXXXX (inventory control system) and XXXXX (LIMS System) found them to be noncompliant with 21 CFR Part 11 requirements. For example, the firm indicated that XXXXX exhibited deficiencies in the area of Signature/Record Linking. [FDA 483, 2001]... 

Once the types of data have been specified, the relationships between the tables must be defined. The primary data tables provide a unique identifier (ID) for each record. Linking tables were created to relate records from different tables, and these links use the identifier to reference data across tables and enable one-to-one, one-to-many, many-to-one and many-to-many relationships. For example, a substance can have more than one hazardous property and a hazardous property can be present in many substances. A many-to-many relationship would be described for a substance (say with ID=1) that is toxic (ID=1) and flammable (ID=3) - this would be captured through one entry in the Materials table, two entries in the Properties table, and two rows in a material-properties link table (where the field Material would have a value of 1, and the field ID-Properties would have values 1 and 3 respectively). A simplified representation of the various relationships in iSafeBase is shown in Figure 1.

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. 

One group has successfiilly obtained infonnation about potential energy surfaces without measuring REPs. Instead, easily measured second derivative absorption profiles are obtained and linked to the fiill RRS spectrum taken at a single incident frequency. In this way, the painstaking task of measuring a REP is replaced by carefiilly recording the second derivative of the electronic absorption spectrum of the resonant transition [, 59],... 

These are databases that provide links to other databases or data sources. In this case, records describe objects that are other databases. The "Gale Directory of Databases" [14] is one of them. The connection between the databases flows through the meta-data of each database. 

SCISEARCH contains bibliographic citations (links) to publications in science and technology. The database represents the electronic online version of the expanded Science Citation Index (SCI) and parts from the Current Contents of the Institute for Scientific Information (ISI). More than 5900 science and technical journals are included in the database with more than 20 million records (October, 2002). Searches can be performed on the bibliographic data, along with where, and how often, an author or publication is dted. 

Perhaps it is worth emphasizing that the actual metastable ions are those that decompose, and the so-called metastable ions that are recorded are actually the products of decomposition, not the metastable ions themselves. It is more accurate to describe the recorded metastable ions as ions resulting from decomposition of metastable ions. The apparent m/z value of a metastable ion provides the link between an ion that fragments (the parent or precursor ion) and the ion that is formed by the fragmentation (the daughter or product ion).

Parylene s use in the medical field is linked to electronics. Certain pacemaker manufacturers use it as a protective conformal coating on pacemaker circuitry (69). The coated circuitry is sealed in a metal can, so that the parylene coating serves only as a backup should the primary barrier leak. There is also interest in its use as an electrode insulation in the fabrication of miniature electrodes for long-term implantation to record or to stimulate neurons in the central or peripheral nervous system, as the "front end" of experimental neural prostheses (70). One report describes the 3-yr survival of functioning parylene-coated electrodes in the brain of a monkey (71). 

A database management system (DBMS) is used by most LIMS systems for storing data. Examples of commercially available DBMS are DB2, DBASE, Informix, INGRES, ORACLE, and RDB. AH of these DBMS conform to the "relational" model developed by Codd (19). Eigure 3 demonstrates the use of a relational DBMS for storing LIMS data. Here data is grouped by type so customer and analysis requests are stored separately from sets of sample information which are, in turn, stored separately from sets of analysis results. Individual records are linked or related by unique identification data. 

Carbonless Copy Paper. In carbonless copy paper, also referred to as pressure-sensitive record sheet, an acid-sensitive dye precursor, such as crystal violet lactone or /V-hen2oy11eucomethy1ene blue, is microencapsulated with a high boiling solvent or oil within a cross-linked gelatin (76,83,84) or in synthetic mononuclear microcapsules. Microcapsules that have a starch binder are coated onto the back of the top sheet. This is referred to as a coated-back (CB) sheet. The sheet intended to receive the image is treated on the front (coated-front (CF)) with an acid. When the top sheet is mechanically impacted, the dye capsules mpture and the dye solution is transferred to the receiving sheet where the acid developer activates the dye. 

Nitrate is not a new problem. Excessive concentrations were recorded in many domestic wells in a survey conducted 100 years ago. What is new is the public concern about nitrate. This arises from two medical conditions that have been linked to nitrate methaemoglobinaemia ( bine-baby syndrome ) in infants, and stomach cancer in adults. Both are serious conditions, so we need to examine possible links carefully, but we need to note that these conditions are not caused by nitrate but by the nitrite to which it may be reduced. Nitrate itself is harmless and is most notable from a medical standpoint as a treatment for phosphatic kidney stones. 

Delivery advice notes will be needed to match shipments to inventory and to trace problems should the need arise. A shipment notification system similar to that which you need to have with your customer will also be necessary in order to alert you to any shipment difficulties. A simple database to record planned deliveries against actual deliveries and incidents of premium freight usage may suffice. However, you will need to take account of changes in planned deliveries and therefore you will need to link the notification system with the recording system so that the two are compatible at all times.
