What Is a Work Permit? Everything You Need to Know

This is a written document that approves particular work for a given time period in a given area. To create and maintain safe working conditions, permits are utilized for organizing and controlling work.  They guarantee that all known risks have been taken into account and that the proper safety measures are identified and followed in the right order. A permit is a contract outlining the terms, prerequisites, safety measures, and restrictions that must be fully understood before work can begin. It is made between the issuer and the receiver. Who Benefits From a Work Permit Program? Any insight 4.0 report will show that almost every sector in the manufacturing industry can benefit, especially where certain risks provide a major danger. Another beneficiary of the permit is any prime contractor who assigns or subcontracts maintenance or other risky tasks to third parties. Insight 4.0 reports show that permit programs are especially useful for lone people who carry out irregular tasks in

Power Supply Applications and Types

If you remember something from physics class, you remember some stuff about AC DC. Well, those are the types of power supplies. All of them have different applications and tasks so it's only normal to have power conversion solutions when you need a different kind of power supply from the one you have. Main Types of Power Supply Based on the polarity of the voltage and the direction of current, there are two types of power supply: AC and DC. DC Power Supply DC power supply has a fixed polarity. What this means is that the magnitude and direction of the current doesn’t change with time. DC power supply has no factor and no frequency. Natural sources of DC power supplies include batteries or solar panels. Alternatively, we can use power conversion solutions to get DC from AC using the rectifier circuit. It is also possible to convert DC to DC like in military DC DC power supply . Now I know it doesn’t make sense but allow me to explain. In DC DC conversion, the type of power supply r

Secure Healthcare Messaging

Developing secure messaging and SMS healthcare solutions can be a difficult task, as most carriers are not fully prepared to handle the required protection. This article will outline why it is important to invest in this service in order to guide you in choosing the best communication tool for your healthcare and security needs. The healthcare industry has been growing at a rapid rate for the past several years, and this is expected to continue for the foreseeable future. A market research firm projects that worldwide healthcare spending will reach $5.5 trillion in 2020. This is a huge increase from $4.4 trillion spent in 2014, when the industry was already experiencing substantial growth.  It is not surprising, then, that healthcare providers are seeking better ways to communicate with their patients.  The State of Medical Systems Unfortunately, most medical records are still managed by handwritten notes and files.  The main reasons behind this outdated system include the lack of trus

Appropriate Use of Antibiotics

Any time antibiotics misuse is discussed, prudent use of antibiotics is always mentioned as the remedy to the aforementioned vice. You can’t help but wonder: How hard can it be to use antibiotics appropriately? As simple as it sounds, there still is a lot of misuse of antibiotics all over the world.  Criteria for Appropriateness – Medical Practitioner’s Point of View Give Antibiotics to the Right Patient The first step is of course prescribing antibiotics only to the right patient which means identifying which patient needs antibiotics. Here is where trick diagnoses like viral vs bacterial infection need to be precise and accurate.  Some common infections that are often wrongly treated as bacterial infections include malaria, viral diarrhea or respiratory infections.  Antibiotics are wrongly given for a multitude of reasons including the lack of diagnostic tools. The second aspect to be considered is the large groups of patients who would benefit from antibiotic treatment but don’t ha

Media Orchestration

In multimedia content, especially live content, time is very much of essence. What I mean by this is that when simultaneously playing media across a single device or across multiple devices, you need to ensure that audio, video and any other time-based content is properly synced to deliver the best user experience to the audience.  The reason syncing is important is because so much more goes on beyond what you hear or what you see on your screen.  There are a lot of production efforts like editing, lighting, script work, sound balancing and a lot more. It is a very hectic process and expensive for broadcasters which is why they turn to media orchestration for broadcast to reduce production costs as well as streamline their broadcast workflow. What Is It? It could be defined as a replacement for traditional media asset management systems allowing for the monitoring and control of production operations with minimal operator input.  Minimization of operator input is achieved by automatio

Power Supply Basics

A power supply operates by taking input power and delivering it to the load in the required output. Consumer electricity is transported and supplied to homes in one form but has to be converted to the appropriate form to power home electronics. This energy is provided through a 115-volt, 60-hertz alternating current outlet.  Converters and transformers are examples of ac power supply components that make electrical equipment compatible with the ac energy from the main supply. It is possible for the connected equipment to malfunction or fail if incompatible power, such as the wrong frequency or voltage, is used. To be sure that the ac power supply will work with the electrical power supply in your location, it is crucial to check the input voltage rating. Otherwise, it can affect the alternating current power supply and the connected electrical equipment. Power supply companies have launched a variety of chips for medium- and high-power applications in response to these evolving design

A Guide on Disaggregated Cell Site Gateways

A cell site gateway is a device that aggregates mobile data traffic from the cellular access network and transports it back to the service provider’s core networks. This essentially makes the cell site route a component of the telecommunication backhaul network. Cell site refers to the cellular access network. Aggregating data from cell sites means that a modern-day cell site router would be able to accommodate 2G, 3G and 4G cellular technologies. The 5G cell site gateway supports 5G technologies with various features to support QoE including time synchronization, connectivity as well as routing protocols. Who Uses Cell Site Gateways? Cell site routers are mainly used by telecommunications service providers although they do have some applications in 5G gateways in an IoT setting. The physical placement of the cell site router is typically in an outdoor cabinet or in a room at the cell site base station owned by the service provider.  The cell site has to be within reach of the base ba
