Reversible lane. The south end of Lions Gate Bridge in Vancouver, British Columbia. A reversible lane (or tidal flow) is a managed lane in which traffic may travel in either direction, depending on certain conditions. Typically, it is meant to improve traffic flow during rush hours, by having overhead traffic lights and lighted street signs ...
Lane control signals around the world follow their own universal pattern, as specified in the Vienna Convention on Road Signs and Signals. [1]: Art.23, ¶11 Typical signals include a green downward arrow, used to indicate a lane which is open to traffic facing the signal, a red cross, which indicates a lane is either reserved for opposing traffic or closed to traffic in both directions, and a ...
For example, in experiments beginning in the mid-1990s, Niels Birbaumer at the University of Tübingen in Germany trained paralysed people to self-regulate the slow cortical potentials in their EEG to such an extent that these signals could be used as a binary signal to control a computer cursor.
The electronic health record (EHR) is a more longitudinal collection of the electronic health information of individual patients or populations. The EMR, in contrast, is the patient record created by providers for specific encounters in hospitals and ambulatory environments and can serve as a data source for an EHR. [6][7] In contrast, a ...
Medical informatics introduces information processing concepts and machinery to the domain of medicine. Health informatics is the study and implementation of computer structures and algorithms to improve communication, understanding, and management of medical information. [1] It can be viewed as a branch of engineering and applied science.
Protected health information (PHI) under U.S. law is any information about health status, provision of health care, or payment for health care that is created or collected by a Covered Entity (or a Business Associate of a Covered Entity), and can be linked to a specific individual. This is interpreted rather broadly and includes any part of a ...
Electromyography (EMG) Electromyography is the measurement and analysis of the electrical activity in skeletal muscles. This technique is useful for diagnosing the health of the muscle tissue and the nerves that control them. [8] EMG measures action potentials, called Motor Unit Action Potentials (MUAPs), created during muscle contraction.
A diverging diamond interchange (DDI), also called a double crossover diamond interchange (DCD), [1][2] is a subset of diamond interchange in which the opposing directions of travel on the non- freeway road cross each other on either side of the interchange so that traffic crossing the freeway on the overpass or underpass is operating on the ...
