Ablify Maintena (AM) is a long acting injection of aripiprazole that received marketing authorisation in the UK in January 2014. It is costly compared to first generation antipsychotics (FGAs) LAIs and there are no robust trials comparing AM with FGAs. We examined the effectiveness and use of AM in a mental health trust.We identified all patients prescribed AM in North Staffordshire (population: 470,000)...
Biometric authentication refers to the automatic identification of a person by analyzing their physiological and/or behavioral characteristics or traits. Since many physiological and behavioral characteristics are unique to an individual, biometrics provides a more reliable system of authentication than ID cards, keys, passwords, or other traditional systems. A wide variety of organizations are using...
A controller for a tunneling accelerometer has two tasks: to establish tunneling and to maintain tunneling during acceleration. This paper describes the design and implementation of a digital controller that accomplishes these tasks and provides the appropriate gain switching. The control law is based on a standard configuration of an observer and state feedback. A digital controller is implemented...
This paper describes a design methodology for force balance sensors and applies it to the design of a tunneling accelerometer. A controller based on feedback from estimated states is a natural basis for the design. It provides a controller with a rich choice of design methods. The feedback gains can be used to tune the motion of the mass but they do not influence the sensor transfer function that...
Digital control for embedded systems often requires low-power, hard real-time computation to satisfy high control-loop bandwidth, low latency, and low-power requirements. In particular, the emerging applications of micro electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) sensors, and their increasing integration, presents a challenging requirement to embed ultra-low power digital control architectures for these lithographically...
The problem of designing a digital controller is considered with the novelty of explicitly taking into account the computation cost of the controller implementation. A class of controller emulation methods inspired by numerical analysis is proposed. Through various examples it is shown that these methods are capable of outperforming the conventional ones, in the sense of achieving a better performance/computation...
