In many cases medical diagnosis is based on information obtained through a process involving the emission of different forms of ionizing radiation. The safety of the medical staff and patients exposed to ionizing radiation is highly dependent on the proper design of the shielding used in the laboratory. Therefore, the authors propose a multi-platform application supporting such a design through the computation of the critical parameters of shielding. The specific requirements for shielding are defined by government authorities so the algorithm must comply with all the written standards. The application was implemented using Xamarin. Forms for cross-platform development. The results obtained with the use of the developed tool were compared with those calculated manually for the design of stationary shields developed, deployed, and validated by local inspection.

“…These data will not have the dense nature that the simulation data has, and will thus need interpolation. This interpolation is however far from trivial [21], and much research will be needed to make this feasible. Augmenting the simulated data with measured data, to assess the quality of the simulated data, is more promising (see section 4).…”

“…The main goals of the first phase are, firstly, to qualitatively prove the usefulness of the three-dimensional visualization for the user, and secondly, to make way for larger usability tests using more quantitative variables in order to discover the optimal settings for the three-dimensional visualization. More information on these first-phase tests can be found in [29]. In a second phase, more extensive tests are pursued to make way for the release and deployment of the application.…”

Intervention planning is crucial for maintenance operations in particle accelerator environments with ionizing radiation, during which the radiation dose received by maintenance workers should be reduced to a minimum.In this context, we discuss the development of a new software tool and the entailed methodology, including the visualization aspects. The software tool integrates interactive exploration of a scene depicting an accelerator facility augmented with residual radiation level simulations, with the visualization of intervention data such as the followed trajectory and maintenance tasks.Its conception allows for future inclusion of measurements performed by mobile robotic devices. In this work, we explore the systems engineering life cycle of the development process of an interactive intervention planner, which includes the needs analysis, specification explicitation, conceptual mathematical modelling, iterative implementation, design and prototype testing and usability testing.

“…For example, Sabin used the MEMS accelerometer to measure the vibration of a pump [2]; Thanagasundram et al and Alhussein et al studied the performances of different MEMS accelerometers in a CNC machine vibration testing system [3, 4]. Meanwhile, some researchers studied the wireless vibration measurement using MEMS sensors [5, 6]. And it is a potential requirement that the test environment should be extended to a harsh or uncertain environment.…”

This study introduces a new method to design a robust measurement filter. The novelty of this method lies in defining the concept of robustness scale and designing a filter based on differential geometry. Then the robustness scale is quantised as a minimum change value of a certain manifold which is used to describe a test system under environmental stressor or structural disturbance. Hence, the feature parameter abstracted from a normal environment is extended to an uncertain environment, and a feature parameter Kalman filter is designed to improve the robustness of a resource-limited wireless measurement system. The results of experiments prove the effectiveness of the proposed methods.
