We present a method for transmission and processing of real-time trans-continental medical data streams. We apply fundamentals of existing network technologies to create a secure tunnel from a remote hospital through an open-network to the Artemis Cloud. We capture and store incoming 1Hz data stream in our real-time event stream processor to allow for online real-time monitoring of the patient status. The contributions of this paper extend the Critical Care as a Service paradigm by incorporating remote monitoring centers. The results establish feasibility of the system to support real-time monitoring. However, existing protocols were required significant optimization to account for variability in throughput and availability of the network.

A system has been developed for verification of multiaxis NC programs with dynamic display of the in-process part in real-time. Such a system is needed because it is time-consuming and expensive to verify an NC program for machining a complicated part. Based on the concept of solid modeling, this system models a "machined" part by taking the Boolean difference of the tool swept volumes from the workpiece. Two key features contribute to the real-time performance of the system: an analytical method for computing swept volumes, and a scan-rendering algorithm for displaying images of solid models. Experience from implementing the system for industrial applications will be discussed. Also presented is a practical method for verifying NC programs with positional tolerances.
