A computer system for analysis and transmission of spirometry waveforms using volume sampling.

A microprocessor-controlled data gathering system for telemetry and analysis of spirometry waveforms was implemented using a completely digital design. Spirometry waveforms were obtained from an optical shaft encoder attached to a rolling seal spirometer. Time intervals between 10-ml volume changes (volume sampling) were stored. The digital design eliminated problems of analog signal sampling. The system measured flows up to 12 liters/sec with 5% accuracy and volumes up to 10 liters with 1% accuracy. Transmission of 10 waveforms took about 3 min. Error detection assured that no data were lost or distorted during transmission. A pulmonary physician at the central hospital reviewed the volume-time and flow-volume waveforms and interpretations generated by the central computer before forwarding the results and consulting with the rural physician. This system is suitable for use in a major hospital, rural hospital, or small clinic because of the system's simplicity and small size.

NCTR computer systems designed for toxicologic experimentation. III. Breeding information system.

The Breeding Information System (BIS) facilitates management control of the breeding colony operation at the National Center for Toxicological Research (NCTR). Although this automated data handling system was initially intended to support Animal Husbandry the system's basic design, flexibility or reporting, data manipulation capabilities, and integration with other NCTR data collection systems provides BIS with capabilities that have application to other groups including the Plans and Programs and most scientific areas. This description of the System is in terms of its potential value to these diverse user groups.
