Software and Engineering Associates

Saturday, August 21st, 2010

Software technology has made Hospital and healthcare organizations make critical changes to serve people better.

Doctors, nurses, patients, bye-standers etc. find it easier these days to obtain accurate information regarding the health of the patient. May it be for emergency purpose, lab reports, admission reports, patient s health history etc it is only a simple process to obtain them. You just have to feed the basic information and you will get what you are looking for in a fraction of minutes. All these are the result of a well planned, analyzed and organized processes developed after careful studies and examination of every minute detail of hospital and health care needs. All what is learned is coordinated and developed into a data base which is then formatted into a software system. The software system is capable of doing all the various functions required of a hospital or healthcare centre. The software and engineering associates are constantly at it to make improvements so that the system may be operated with simplest and easiest of efforts.

The best part of the software system is that it is customizable; users may adjust it to their particular business scenarios. These are complex and dynamic system having various facilities and features to adapt for the various established needs and requirements. You get to tweak and test your system to explore your requirements and get the software and engineering associates to customize it for you the way you want it. The customizable interface of the software helps users to use it with comfort and ease. The software system helps its users to process data faster and with more accuracy than conventional method.

The best qualities to look for in the software system are the ease of use and the access to all information and its flexibility in adapting to your needs. The software may not come cheap but they are not expensive either. Compared to the millions of dollars you get to save annually by using the system what you spend on the system is negligible. This not only saves you time and energy but also help you in every aspect of the running of the hospital or health care center.

The software and engineering associates can help you provide a better image of the hospital and also help you increase its productivity by leaving you time in hand to concentrate on any particular aspect that requires more attention in managing the hospital or health care center. You do not have to beat your brows to schedule the doctors, nurses, other staff or patients. The software system will take care of all these complex issues even all the financial transactions, auditing and tax reports.

Once you can find good software and engineering associates capable of delivering a quality software system then half your job of running and managing your hospital or health care center gets done. The rest of the job is not so complex so you may easily handle them or get some one to do that for you, the software engineers and associates may come up with something to even take care of that one day… who knows…

The Chevrolet Corvair Engine

Friday, August 20th, 2010

The Chevrolet Corvair engine was a flat-6 (or boxer engine) piston engine used exclusively in the 1960s Chevrolet Corvair automobile. It was a highly unusual engine for General Motors: It was air-cooled, used a flat design, with aluminum heads (incorporating integral intake manifolds) and crankcase, and individual iron cylinder barrels. The heads were modeled after the standard Chevrolet overhead valve design, with large valves operated by rocker arms, actuated by pushrods run off a nine lobe camshaft (exhaust lobes did double duty for two opposing cylinders) running directly on the crankcase bore without an inserted bearing, operating hydraulic valve lifters (which eliminated low temperature valve clatter otherwise seen with that much aluminum in the engine, due to its high degree of thermal expansion).

The flat horizontally opposed (“flat engine“) air-cooled engine design, previously used by Volkswagen and Porsche as well as Lycoming aircraft engines, offered many advantages. Unlike inline or V designs, the horizontally opposed design made the engine inherently mechanically balanced, so that counterweights on the crankshaft were not necessary, reducing the weight greatly. Eliminating a water-cooling system further reduced the weight, and the use of aluminum for the heads and crankcase capitalized on this weight reduction; so that with the use of aluminum for the transaxle case, the entire engine/transaxle assembly weighed under 500 pounds (225 kilograms). In addition, the elimination of water-cooling eliminated several points of maintenance and possible failure, reducing them all to a single point; the fan belt. As with the Volkswagen and Porsche designs, the low weight and compact but wide packaging made the engine ideal for mounting in the rear of the car, eliminating the weight and space of a conventional driveshaft.

Two years after its 1960 debut, the Corvair engine gained another unusual attribute: it was the second production engine ever to be equipped from the factory with a turbocharger, released shortly after the Oldsmobile Jetfire V8.

Aircraft hobbyists and small volume builders, perhaps seeing the Corvair engine’s similarity to Lycoming aircraft engines, very quickly began a cottage industry of modifying Corvair engines for aircraft use, which continues to this day. The Corvair engine also became a favorite for installation into modified Volkswagens and Porsches, as well as dune buggies and homemade sports and race cars.

140

The Corvair’s innovative turbocharged engine; The turbo, located at top right, takes in air through the large air cleaner at top left, passes it through the sidedraft carburetor in between, and feeds pressurized fuel/air mixture into the engine through the chrome T-tube visible spanning the engine from left to right.

The Corvair’s innovative turbocharged engine; The turbo, located at top right, takes in air through the large air cleaner at top left, passes it through the sidedraft carburetor in between, and feeds pressurized fuel/air mixture into the engine through the chrome T-tube visible spanning the engine from left to right.

The initial Corvair engine displaced 140 in³ (2.3 L) and produced 80 hp (60 kW). The high performance optional “Super TurboAir” version, introduced mid 1960 with a special camshaft and revised carburetors and valve springs produced 95 hp (70 kW).

145

In 1961, the engine received its first increases in size via a larger bore. The engine was now 145 in³ and the base engine was said to produce the same 80 hp (60 kW). The new high performance engine was rated at 98 hp (73 kW). In 1962 the high performance engine was rated at 102 hp (76 kW). The high compression 102 HP heads were added to the Monza models equipped with Powerglide when the standard engine was ordered, giving an 84 HP engine rating. 1962 engines returned to automatic chokes after a one year only manual choke on 1961 models.

The ultimate performance was found in the Spyder model, which became available with a turbocharged engine rated at 150 hp (112 kW). The turbocharger was mounted on the right side of the firewall behind the rear seat, fed by both exhaust manifolds; a single sidedraft carburetor mounted on the left side of the firewall fed directly into the turbocharger’s intake, with a chromed pipe leading from the turbocharger’s outlet to what would otherwise be the carburetor mounting pads on the intake manifolds, which were integral parts of the heads. The turbocharged heads received some valve upgrades to improve durability. Exhaust valves on turbocharged engines were made from a non-ferrous material used in jet engine turbine buckets, called ‘Nimonic 80-A’. All other Corvair engines had slight upgrades in valve and valve seat materials as well for 1962.

164

The engine was stroked out (from 2.6″ to 2.94″) displacing 164 in (2.7 L) for 1964. Power output was boosted to 95 hp (70 kW) for the base model and 110 hp (80 kW) in the high performance normally aspirated engine, while the Turbocharged engine remained rated at 150 hp for this year. This increase in stroke was the maximum the engine could tolerate, to the point that the bottoms of the cylinder barrels had to be notched to clear the big end of the connecting rods.

For the 1965 model year, all engines had the head gasket area between the cylinder and the head widened, with a new design folded “Z” section stainless steel head gasket virtually eliminating any risk of head gasket failure. A 140 hp (104 kW) version with 4 single barrel carburetors, and a progressive linkage was introduced in 1965 as option L63 ‘Special High Performance Engine’ and was standard equipment on the Corsa model. The carburetors consisted of a single barrel primary and a single barrel secondary on each head, connected by a progressive linkage; in addition, the heads featured a 9.25:1 compression ratio, and the cars received dual exhaust systems. Engines supplied with the automatic transmission after spring 1965 were modified with a camshaft from the 95 Horsepower base engine, and a special crankshaft gear that retarded its timing 4 degrees- the former to increase torque and smooth idle with the Powerglide transmission, the latter to restore some of the peak HP lost at higher engine speeds by the economy contoured camshaft with short timing.

1966 engines were basically carryover from the 1965 models, however Corvairs sold in California (except Turbocharged models) now featured the General Motors Air Injection Reactor System (AIR), and emissions control system consisting of an engine driven air pump that drew filtered air from the air cleaner, and injected a metered amount into the exhaust manifolds via tubing to promote complete oxidation and combustion of exhaust gasses to lower emissions. Specially calibrated carburetors and slight changes to the ignition timing and advance curves were part of the package. The AIR system had an unfortunate effect of sustantially raising exhaust gas, valve and head temperatures, particularly under heavy loads and this was a drawback on the Corvair where engine cooling could not be easily improved to cope with the higher temperatures. Nonetheless, performance and drivability were not noticably effected in most circumstances. In 1968, all Corvair (and other GM) engines got the AIR system for every market.

The 140 HP engine was officially discontinued for ’67, but became optional in 1967 as COPO 9551-B, not a regular production option. Chevrolet sold 279 of these engines in the 1967 model year, 232 with manual transmissions, and 47 with Powerglide transmissions. Only six were sold with the four carburetor engine and the AIR injection system required by California emissions standards. These figures include 14 Yenko Stingers and 3 Dana Chevrolet variants of the Stinger.

Both the 140 HP engines and the Turbocharged engines had many special quality features not shared with lesser Corvairs- Moly insert top rings, stellite tips and faces on the valves, a Tufftrided (cold gas hardened) crankshaft, and Delco Moraine ’400′ aluminum engine bearings- the quality of the 140HP Corvair engine for materials is directly comparable to the Rolls Royce V8 of that era, item for item. It was a fabulous bargain for the $79 premium it commanded over the basic 95HP engine. Performance of the 140HP engine was better than you might expect, with a 5200 rpm peak horsepower output, it offered road performance in a Corvair comparable to contemporary Cadillac models of the day.

The turbocharged engine now developed 180 hp (134 kW). Contemporary reviews describe a similarity in power between the turbocharged and four-carburetor engines throughout the low and mid rpm range, with the turbocharged engine being superior only when it was possible to sustain boost continously. The turbocharged engines long suit was highway acceleration, flooring the accelerator at turnpike speeds produced ferocious acceleration in the upper speed ranges as the turbocharger began to boost, reaching manifold pressures approaching 15 PSI. No wastegate was used on the Corvair turbocharged engine, boost was controlled by careful balancing of exhaust restriction, mostly via the muffler, and intake restrictions from the smallish Carter YH carburetor used. Preignition and knock under boost was controlled using a novel ‘pressure retard’ device, essentially a modified vacuum advance device, on the specially curved distributor, as boost pressures built, ignition advance was progressively reduced to preclude detonation.

The Benefits of Hiring Professional Software Developers

Tuesday, August 17th, 2010

Having the right software package for your business is becoming more and more important as technology becomes both more complicated and more necessary for success. Many companies struggle to find the right software solution for their business and suffer as a result of inefficient processes, losing time and money on a daily basis. However, a quick consultation with a professional software engineer could be all your company needs to get the software that they need. In no time, you can quickly be operating at levels that are better, cheaper, and faster than previously imagined.

The benefits to having a software engineer work with you are many. Their in depth knowledge of software and the IT market as a whole give them several advantages that you can capitalize on by hiring their help. Here are five advantages that a professional software designer brings to the table that you will have a hard time replicating by hiring in-house staff.

1. Knowledge and Experience – The key advantage that a software engineer brings to the table is that they have a diverse amount of training and education that is expensive to hire in-house. They may also bring certifications to the table that give them more credibility and knowledge about ways to improve your company’s use of technology.

2. Personal Involvement – By outsourcing your software help to a professional, you also get a personal touch. A software engineer will begin as a consultant for you and will investigate your current use of technology and will present you with a wide variety of options for improving your use of technology. Often, they will know more about what kind of options are out there and will have the ability to quickly identify with your business and help you choose the right solution.

3. Custom Software Solutions – The ideal solution for your company will be something that is unique and works better for you than anyone else. A good software engineer/consultant will have the ability to either combine different software packages to best meet your needs or design and write a custom piece of software that is best for your company. In either case, they will have the ability to expertly match your processes with the software’s functionality, giving you the results that you’ve been striving for.

4. Implementation – Unfortunately, selecting the right software is only half the battle. You must be able to implement the software and train your staff on the proper way to use the software. Again, your software engineer can assist by conducting formal training for end-users.

5. System Analysis – If you’ve already got a software package that meets your needs and are just looking for a couple of ways to manipulate your current software to improve effectiveness, a software engineer can help. They have a diverse knowledge and understanding of software and have the ability to work with a variety of packages, find ways to improve them, and find solutions for your company.

The benefits of consulting with a professional software engineer are many. Finding one is often as easy as contacting a local or national IT staffing and consulting firm. Consulting with an IT professional is the first step to improving your use of technology and realizing higher profits.

Automobile Electric Fans

Tuesday, August 17th, 2010

Choosing Electric fans for your car and other vehicles can be a difficult task today! There are about thousands of products to choose from and one can find different types of radiator cooling fans on the web so much, so that it is difficult to select the best one of the lot. In view of this situation, one must be looking forward to get the best quality electric cooling fan for his car and therefore it would be advisable on your end to select a cooling fan that best suits the requirements of your car. Never purchase an electric cooling fan just because it is cheaper than others in the market. You can harm your vehicle’s engine in that way and reduce the life of the engine components. Always remember quality is what matters in the end.


These indigenously made electric cooling fans are perfect control systems that provide the bets possible protection for a vehicle or even a system which uses these electric cooling fans. All such kinds of systems use a 30 amp fuse, and in some cases even a temperature sensor, relay and wiring harness are also used up. These parts are used up in automatic vehicles, solar driven cars etc. Relays are required to carry the high amperage needed by electric fans thereby eliminating the load on the car’s ignition switch. Temperature sensors are not included with the PRC-35 system which operates whenever the key is on or with a manual switch. Both controls can be used with or without A/C request. Sensors have a 3/8 in. pipe thread.


The electric fans are designed in such a way so as to cool down the environment of the radiator and save the life of your vehicle. You can choose a variety of electric fans from the internet but you must be aware of the specifications that are needed by the vehicle before you get to buy one. The fan is designed in such a way that it automatically turns on when the temperature of the engine goes above a set point. Similarly it stops when the temperature goes back to normal.
