Telecommunications 501 electrical engineering

There is a need for software that can decode the transmitted data, e.g. vital signs, and display it in a meaningful format. The software should also have the ability to record the data for later analysis. The key considerations in the selection of this software are cost, the ability to run on multiple platforms and a user-friendly interface. The software system must also analyse the decoded data and automatically raise an alarm if the vital signs are beyond certain previously defined thresholds. The important factor that would be considered is the ability to automatically alert emergency medical personnel using telephones, pagers or the Web. This research calls for collaboration between the fields of telecommunications, electrical engineering and medicine. 

IEEE The Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers. The IEEE sets global technical standards and acts as an authority in technical areas including computer engineering, biomedical technology, telecommunications, electric power, aerospace and consumer electronics, among others, www.ieee.org. 

I have written this book to cover the objectives of the Technician Education Council standard units Workshop processes and materials 1 (U76/055, which is based on and intended to replace U75/001), for students of mechanical/ production engineering, industrial measurement and control, and polymer technology, and Materials and workshop processes 1 (U75/002), for students of electronic, telecommunication, and electrical engineering. These two units contain a great deal of common material, and by covering them both 1 hope that the book will be useful to a larger number of students and teaching staff.

The services provided by telephone companies and their suppliers no longer amount to what is called POTS (plain old telephone service) but rather are very sophisticated. Anyone who chooses to work in telecommunications, at least on the technological side, must be very conversant with electrical engineering, computer engineering, and information technology. 

According to department 1987 civil engineering—11 operations— 3 signals and telecommunications—2 contractor—0 1988 civil engineering—7 operations—6 signals and telecommunications—1 contractors— 3. Mechanical and electrical engineering had no fatalities in either year. 

The following had not heard of any legal action operations staff— 74% mechanical and electrical engineering—75% civil engineering—64.25% signals and telecommunications—64%. 

All of the civil engineers knew that checks existed as did 77% of operations staff and 72% of signals and telecommunications staff. In the mechanical and electrical engineering department 40% of supervisors and safety representatives and 62% of the workforce were unaware of any checks. 

One measure of the extent to which staff might have come into contact with the actual risks of working on the railways was directly through their own involvement with accidents. The workforce were asked if they had ever experienced an accident and managers, supervisors, and safety representatives were questioned about the extent of their involvement when accidents did occur. The majority of the workforce had experienced an accident, the exception being signals and telecommunications department staff. Only one person considered that they had personally suffered a serious accident, a member of the mechanical and electrical engineering department who had strained his back and had been off work for an initial period of ten weeks and for another seven weeks later. 

The following percentages of workers had personally been involved in an accident civil engineering—75% mechanical and electrical engineering— 71% operations—76% signals and telecommunications department—29%. 

There were departmental differences, with a majority of signals and telecommunications staff and especially civil engineering staff claiming to be compliant and all of the mechanical and electrical engineering workers responding that they did not always use the equipment at their disposal. 

Mechanical and electrical engineering staff were again the most likely to admit to non-compliance and signals and telecommunications and civil engineering workers the least likely. However, even in these groups the majority admitted to non-compliance.
