![]() Considering this limitation, we do not recommend this as an option. This consequence of migration is the same when migrating from just about any PACS to Centricity PACS-IW, as well as the consequence of migrating Centricity PACS to any other PACS sold today. While migration is rather commonplace in the replacement PACS market today, you are accurate that many of the unique data elements (e.g., annotations, key images) from Centricity PACS would not be able to be migrated to Centricity PACS-IW. Any upgrade to Centricity PACS-IW would include a traditional PACS migration of images and results. The second upgrade alternative you mention concerns an upgrade to Centricity PACS-IW. By moving from Solaris (a proprietary platform) to Linux, GE is moving to a more mainstream technology that in the long term provides Centricity customers more performance, choice and flexibility.Ģ. The decision by Sun to move their server hardware to end-of-life was made independent of GE Healthcare however, it does have a significant impact on Centricity customers, and the solution is to upgrade to Centricity PACS 3.X. As you are aware, all hardware has a similar cycle – in just a few years, hardware that was once state-of-the-art eventually turns end-of-life. Your first upgrade alternative is a status quo decision to remain on the Solaris platform of Centricity 1.X/2.X. Īlso, just to clarify a few items related to your upgrade discussion:ġ. Centricity PACS-IW is presently the #1 ranked PACS by both KLAS (PACS-Acute Care (large) Report, 4/08, ) and MD Buyline, for the past two years in a row in the MD Buyline Intelligence Report for PACS. ![]() Regarding the new Centricity PACS-IW, similar to our naming structure for RIS-IC, the “IW” stands for “IntegradWeb”, based upon the recently acquired IntegradWeb PACS from Dynamic Imaging. Accordingly, Centricity upgrades do not include RIS-IC, and therefore, your comment about RIS-IC being “….included with the purchase of Centricity 3.0 Linux server…” is not accurate.Ĥ. One last note about RIS-IC, the upgrades to Centricity PACS 3.X have no relation whatsoever to RIS-IC. Only in that case would the RIS-IC worklist be used. As a point of clarification, the Centricity PACS worklist is not changing to the interpretation worklist used by RIS-IC however, customers using Centricity Radiology may choose to implement a RIS-driven workflow. As an integrated solution for RIS/PACS, this is marketed as Centricity Radiology. Presently, RIS-IC is ranked the #1 RIS by KLAS (Radiology (large) category, 2007 End of Year Report, 12/07, ). Since the acquisition of IDX by GE Healthcare, the ImageCast (IC) radiology information system has been marketed as Centricity RIS-IC. Presently, the AW Suite embedded integration includes the following applications: CardIQ, AutoBone, CT Colon, Advanced Vessel Analysis, and Advanced Lung Analysis.ģ. To be clear, the advanced visualization solution you are referring to is marketed as “AW Suite” and is now available via software integration to Centricity PACS 3.X. Centricity PACS version 3.X - As mentioned, our upgrade program for Centricity PACS 1.X/2.X has been offered for nearly three years, and (other than users running the latest Solaris hardware (V480)), requires a Solaris to Linux upgrade due to hardware end-of-life from Sun Microsystems.Ģ. Per your inquiries, we wanted to provide additional detail and also clarify a few items referenced.ġ. On behalf of my colleagues at GE Healthcare IITS, I wanted to follow up on your comments from, "Follow the Yellow Brick Road ", posted on April 18, 2008. Brad later joined Dynamic Imaging, and now, of course, works for GE.īrad read over my previous post about the upgrade path for Centricity, and was kind enough to pen the official GE response, which follows unedited below: One of them is a great guy by the name of Brad Levin, whom I met while he was working for Amicas. I've been fortunate enough to make some good friends in the PACS business over the past few years.

Because of this, vector graphics are better suited for simple illustrations, user interface, icons, and logo design. The downside of working with vector graphics is that they’re not as capable of producing fine details as the raster format is. This makes the vector format ideal for something like a logo design, where the design will need to be used in many different contexts. The benefit of working with vector graphics is that they’re easy to edit and they can be scaled up infinitely without quality loss.

Summary: A parody of the open-world action genre, Retro City Rampage takes modern game mechanics and mashes them into an authentic 8-bit experience. ![]() I got around to reading the book about a week ago. When I was in Cali early this year, I picked up a paperback of the first book from Logos, an excellent indie book store in Santa Cruz. I remember enjoying it and really liking the film version of the first book, entitled "Colossus: The Forbin Project." Over time, I lost or gave away my copies of these books. ![]() I read the Colossus trilogy back in the 80s. It may be the peace of plenty and content, or the peace of unburied death. ![]() "I am the voice of world control," it famously begins. The Colossus of the book seems to want to use one last shred of human credibility to deliver his message, and he writes a statement to be delivered by the shambling, powerless heads of state: In the movie, Colossus recites it himself. Forbin's slow realization that they are the natural consequence of Colossus being programmed (by Forbin and his team) to protect humans is fairly well doneĪnd Colossus' prepared statement to the world, making "his" case to several billion obsolete humans that they're better off with him as their god than any of the gods they've conjured up over their history is spectacular. ![]() (Cleo accepts this without comment, so even she realized the comparison is fair.)Īs in the movie, there are dual payoffs: After being given a voice (of its own design), Colossus and Forbin discuss the full extent of Colossus' control and goals. "No, not tortuous," Forbin replies, "but complex, possibly devious, almost feminine." "If it is true, then Colossus has a most tortuous mind." Markham suggests that "the idea of Colossus seeking intelligence" seems unlikely to her. As Colossus becomes sentient, and starts exploring the world it will eventually rule, Charles Forbin (Colossus' creator, and eventual slave) and his assistant (and love object) Cleo Markham (sorry.DOCTOR Cleo Markham) are trying to figure out what Colossus is up to, in particular what "thoughts" have led it to particular actions. I love these retro-future books that imagine sentient computers with which we communicate over teletype, and that imagine air-car taxis but not cell phones.Īnd, a little like Stranger in a Strange Land (the most glaring example I can think of), there's a charming, off-handed sexism. " And (when Forbin points out it's late in the day): "Day and night are one to us man can work in shifts." Judging by the book, he'd never heard an American speak, and it hurts to read ostensibly American characters referring to the Secret Service as "you lot." The best lines are reserved for Colossus. The flap says Jones "was a commander in the British Navy throughout WW II" and worked as a radio operator, bricklayer and gardener. Wonderful, overblown, dated doomsday story. It's actually easy to forget Forbin created Colossus, everyone almost acts as if Colossus is some force of nature, and they only can react to it. The book also seems very quick to accept Colossus' demands, I understand they don't really have a choice, but you'd expect more discussion, and at least some anger, directed towards Forbin and his team. The book also starts mere hours before activating Colossus, and I kind of miss some more discussion about how the project started. The book is more nuanced than the movie - Forbin has his doubts about Colossus before switching it on. And a pretty engaging story about an Artificial Intelligence spinning out of control, into control of humanity. It's even more of its time - a lot of obviously outdated sexism (men be like, women be like). It certainly is of its time (1970, with mostly 60s sensibilities), and it also is a little silly. It isn't a classic, but it's also isn't bad. The choice is yours."Ĭolossus: The Forbin Project, which is based on this book, is one of my go-to sci-fi movies. It may be the peace of plenty and content or the peace of unburied death. The computer he built shouldn't be able to ask at all. Forbin is concerned when Colossus asks-asks-to communicate with Guardian. However, the USSR quickly announces that it too has a supercomputer, Guardian, with capabilities similar to that of Colossus. The President hands off full control of the nation's missiles and other defense protocols to Colossus and makes the announcement to the world that he has ensured peace. But Colossus soon exceeds even Forbin's calculated expectations, learning to think independently of the Colossus Programming Office, processing data over one hundred times faster than Forbin and his team had originally anticipated. Colossus is a supercomputer capable of in-taking and analyzing data rapidly, allowing it to make real time decisions about the nation's defense. Charles Forbin has dedicated the last ten years of his life to the construction of his own supercomputer, Colossus, rejecting romantic and social endeavors in order to create the United States' very first Artificially Intelligent defense system.

Scribus It is not an image manipulation program, however it provides some basic tools for retouching them. This option makes it impossible to edit the size of the image and move the object. To avoid problems with the frames moving or deleting one by accident, we can block it by right clicking and selecting "Blocked". If we click on "Edit image" on the contextual menu, it will open in an image editing program, in my case it was opened with Gimp. We right click and then click on the option "Adjust image to shape" so that the image is placed proportionally in the frame. The aspect ratio of the image can be easily changed. Scribus automatically shows in the box that we have made the proportional part of the image that fits in the object. This is because the image has a higher resolution than the text frame. Once the image is selected, we will see that if it is larger than the frame, it is incomplete. To edit the image we can use other tools such as Gimp o Chalk. We double click on the newly created box and from there we go to the directory that contains the image. If we want the image to look good we will have to look for one with a good resolution. I want it on the entire cover, so I will proceed to select the complete page. Once the tool is selected, the cursor will be shown with an "x" and a small image box, which indicates that we have to select the part where the image will be inserted. To insert an image, all we have to do is select the box at the top of the window, «Insert image» or from the «Insert» menu under «Insert image form». In this example we select two stories by Alejo Carpentier, so I will select an image of the author and place it. On my cover, in addition to text for the title and author, I will insert an image alluding to the content of the project. Once we have the color of our choice in the object, we close the window and we will see the modifications we have made. For this example I will only select the black background color with 100 percent opacity. From there we can select the color of our choice for the background of the object, its opacity and gradient mode. The «submenu» that interests us is «Colors». At the moment those options are not of our importance. If we stand in the submenu "Form" we will see precisely these characteristics of the object. From there we can also configure the size, rotation and base point. If we have wrongly inserted the object on the page, by editing the position (in "x" and in "y") by centimeters we can adjust it according to our needs. To do this we right click on the object, and click on «Properties» where the characteristics of the selected object will be shown.įrom this popup window of Scribus we can edit the parameters in the way we have placed. What is missing now is to give it its color properties. We have already placed the object on the first page. Once we have the tool selected, we unwrap the object on the first page. Another way to insert it is by pressing the "Insert" menu and then "Insert shape" ("Insert shape" if it is in English). To achieve this, we need the "Insert shape" tool that is located at the top. In my case, I like covers whose background is black. ![]() There are books in which the edition number is not present until the legal part of the book, it all depends on the editorial criteria.
