  • Complete Multiplatform Networking Integration in a Petroleum Research Environment
    Spe Computer Applications, 1991
    Co-Authors: L.l. Jefferson, S. Arirachakaran, James P. Brill
    Abstract:

    The Tulsa U. Fluid Flow Projects (TUFFP) is an industry/university research consortium established in 1973 to investigate multiphase flow in pipes for the petroleum industry. Currently, TUFFP maintains three types of computing power: HP/Apollo UNIX-based workstations, Apple Macintoshes, and AT-class IBM PC's and compatibles. The PC's, and more recently the Macintoshes, are used for data acquisition in experimental research facilities. The data are then transferred to HP/Apollo workstations for analysis and future simulation. The results from the workstation analysis are then ported to the Macintosh System for further graphical analysis in the form of plots and for report generation. This paper describes the current TUFFP computer network is a state-of-the-art and user-friendly System. Users require no prior knowledge of networking protocol and can transfer files among many computers in the network. Researchers can then concentrate on their research without checking hardware connections and learning software communication commands. Moreover, the new network can accommodate growth and change as new needs are introduced and the user population increases.

    Abstract:

    Summary This paper describes a new computer network, its implementation, the moderate costs involved, and the tremendous benefits it offers a petroleum research environment. Introduction The Tulsa U. Fluid Flow Projects (TUFFP) is an industry/university research consortium established in 1973 to investigate multiphase flow in pipes for the petroleum industry.

The results from the workstation analysis are then ported to the Macintosh System for further graphical analysis in the form of plots and for report generation. In the past, a primitive setup of RS-232 lines, modem line boosters, and KERMIT linked the IBM-AT and compatible Systems with the HP / Apollos. However, data transfers of more than a few megabytes proved extremely time-consuming and unreliable at 9,600 baud. The Macintosh link with the HP/Apollo System provided a similar setup, but allowed only one Macintosh to be linked to the HP/Apollo System through a serial input/output (SIO) line. Thus, it was mandatory that a student be at that particular Macintosh to transfer files. Although this arrangement provided data-transfer capabilities, it was extremely primitive, tedious, and prone to bottlenecks. A more useful and versatile networking strategy was needed. The current TUFFP computer network is a state-of-the-art and user-friendly System. Users require no prior knowledge of networking protocol and can transfer files among many computers in the network. Researchers can then concentrate on their research without checking hardware connections and learning software communication commands.

  • An easy-to-use intraoperative digital videography, still photography, and X-ray-capture System.
    Neurosurgery, 2003
    Co-Authors: Christopher S. Ogilvy, Benjamin W. Ogilvy, Peter Sztramski, William F. Chandler, Kim J. Burchiel, Farhad Limonadi, Eric S. Nussbaum, Stephen M. Papadopoulos
    Abstract:

    The goal was to evaluate an easy-to-construct digital System for documentation of intraoperative still and motion photography. In addition, the management of pre- and postoperative images was considered. A Macintosh System (both hardware and software) is described in detail, as are techniques and use. The System has proved to be easy to use. It is user-friendly and makes it possible to rapidly edit and store data from preoperative studies, as well as intraoperative videography and still photography. The cost is minimal, compared with other commercially available Systems. Digital videography and still photography can easily be accomplished with minimal modifications to existing hardware and software Systems. Patient x-rays can also be incorporated into this System, for easy retrieval.
