Rave Custom Functions Programming Pdf

[Neomi Bensch]

Terminologycan vary by organization, therefore for clarity, it is important to level-set on the nomenclature used in this paper. Edit checks are logical tests applied to fields in the electronic case report form (eCRF) for the purpose of catching errors and improving data accuracy. Derivations use existing data to calculate a related value, such as using height and weight to calculate BMI. Derivations save time by automating calculations and reducing manual data entry. Rules and dynamics provide automation by performing actions such as sending emails, adding forms to visits, or displaying invisible fields. Custom functions are pieces of code written outside of the EDC and inserted into the system to perform an intended action.

Traditional EDC systems were developed years ago when clinical trials were more straightforward but with increased complexity in trial designs, now tend to require many custom functions to augment their functionality. Many standard rules, such as sending configurable emails, as well as cross-form edit checks and derivations require custom functions. Because most custom functions are written in C# or SQL, firms need to hire expensive software engineers with traditional programming skills and training.

The Senior Clinical Database Programmer (RAVE) is responsible for developing EDC database, contributing to the assessment and tracking of quality of programming tasks and activities executed by CRO and FSP vendors performing clinical trial programming work for Biogen. The position collaborates with the DM staff, management, and vendor clinical programmers to schedule and conduct the review of study documentation, build EDC database and edit checks, custom functions and perform programming quality checks and technical review related to the design and testing of EDC databases, to ensure that all clinical trial databases and electronic collection tools are consistent with the needs of the study protocol and department standards and procedures.

The Senior Clinical Database Programmer (RAVE) is also responsible for performing Clinical Data Management System Administration tasks as well as providing user management support related to Clinical Data Management Systems required for clinical studies. The position is responsible for user administration tasks for EDC, Coder, End of Study Media Portal, FTP (Managed File Transfer) system and Other DM applications.

Everest builds InForm databases in-house, including designing eCRFs, programming of simple and complex data validation check, and data integration with IWRS/IVRS and other clinical trial management and safety monitoring systems.

Everest is an accredited Medidata Partner with in-house certified study builders who have expertise in CRF design, validation check and custom function programming, and capabilities for data integration with IWRS/IVRS and other clinical trial management and safety monitoring systems.

It began as a paper/fax-based data management system and evolved into an EDC system about 10 years ago. Everest has full capability in building and hosting DFdiscover and iDataFax studies in-house. This EDC has been used by Everest since it opened its doors in 2004 and we have extensive knowledge in database design, including data integration with IWRS/IVRS and other clinical trial management and safety monitoring systems. This system is an effective and less costly EDC option as compared to the other industry brand name EDC systems. Everest has leveraged this technology in many studies in all phases globally and has submitted numerous studies conducted to regulatory agencies.

The Mipmap_aliasing_textuers PDF is a small collection of screenshots of TexturEyes rendered Objects with various textures.

It is meant tho show the mipmapping and filtering of textures. the textures are black and white patterns in a 32bit PICT container.

The QD3D accelerator card is only capable of storing 16bit textures. I was not able to enable the alpha-bit (15+1).

This could either mean, that the card does not allow for transparency in textures or that i have not used the correct method.

I would suspect that the two unconnected lines, that i found earlier were actually data-lines (the patent mentioned 18 data-lines instead of 16). This would explain the blips of I/O that i got on these lines when storing textures into the sram.

One earlier Patent mentioned a 16Mbit 80ns DRAM and the 128K cache.

I would suspect that the earlier version of the card (white magic) did more primitive texturing without filtering and mipmapping.

I have tested the cards in a Power Mac 9500. The system has 6 PCI slots.

3 Slots (A1-C1) are directly connected to the system bus and 3 slots (D2-F2) are cascaded via a PCI-PCI bridge.

The cards work in any slot but they work about 10-15% faster in the bus where the frame buffer is located.

Strangely, the cards seem to have hit a bottleneck somewhere.

On another note:

The card will most likely NOT support transparency in textures. The concept has transparency for objects and carries this through the pipeline. The textures are mapped at the end when all color calculations are done. The patents go into great detail about transparency of objects. The only way to render alpha-enabled textures would be to prepare the alpha-mapped object as transparent but calculate the shading and overdraw the vertex with the alpha enabled texture. Nothing like that is mentioned anywhere, though.

Hello, thanks for showing these things =) i thinking of buying mac especially for RAVE support, what you can recommend which one i should buy and which video cards support it? iMac g4 is capable? other mac models?

p.s. Sorry for offtop. i just need list of mac and list of cards =)

I had a similar question on Youtube regarding the G4. I would say that a later model (slot-in) iMac G3 is best suited for classic Mac OS (8.x-9.x) and therefore QD3D RAVE. Rave was not ported to OSX and did not work correctly under the classic-subsystem in OSX. You would have the 'best' experience on a '99 iMac G3 with OS9.1 or preferably 8.6.

Applications would mostly use Quickdraw 3D without accessing the RAVE layer. Games had often already very optimised 3D engines that needed close hardware access (via RAVE). Quickdraw 3D has several layers and interfaces for software to access its functions. QD3D RAVE is a direct programming interface for 3D-functions more hardware oriented than high-level APIs like Open-GL. It can be compared to 3DFX Glide or one of the many vendor specific 3D-APIs. A 3D-accelerator vendor would have to supply a RAVE driver to allow QD3D to access the 3D-functions on the card. All higher QD3D-features would now be able to use the hardware acceleration. Applications would usually use the QD3D 'interactive renderer'-interface that offered transparent switching between hardware rendering and software rendering. You don't need a 3D-card for it to work and most features are available by the QD3D software-renderer as well. No need to program the 3D engine yourself.

QuickDraw 3D is a bit strange since it was an extremely capable 3D environment. The Apple QD3D card was strangely highly integrated into the QD3D system and did not use the later added RAVE-interface but a unique way of integration into QD3D. This means that only software that uses the high-level functions of QuickDraw 3D is capable of accessing the card(s). Features like the 'constructive solid geometry' (CSG) of the QD3D card are only accessible if boolean operators on objects are transferred to the card. The high-level QuickDraw 3D API is constructed so that implementation is easier and less complex but that has a lot of overhead and costs performance. It is a bit 'bloated' and can be slow compared to the slick high-speed 3D engines of FPS-games. Fast enough for casual games like bugdom or nanosaur, especially since the development of a custom 3D-engine can be cut down to the usage of QuickDraw 3D which saved money for small developers.

indeed sounds and feel really strange, i never touched nor qd3d nor RAVE but what i see its complicated, even Amiga Scene (not touched also) at the times of Warp3D is feels faster and easier.

The PC Scene is most low level optimized, every Graphic API was fast , early ( 3D Accelerated Games List (Proprietary APIs - No 3DFX/Direct3D) and S3 Savage MeTal API 3D Accelerated Games List and -software.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=672 ) or later like OpenGL, Direct3D, Metal API(on MAC OSX), Vulkan, Mantle etc...
