RSS Consultancy provides advice on information technology in the NHS with a particular focus on Primary Care issues.
I also provide advice on high-end audio equipment and design, specialising in valve (tube) technology, including producing technical articles and reviews for journals and magazines.
I can offer advice on all aspects on the use and implementation of Information Technology.
Previous activities included:
- A rticles on technical aspects of audio equipment and some original designs for Hi-Fi Journals and magazines.
- T he design and implementation of various database systems, including several for a clinical centre of a major acute hospital in the UK. The hospital databases supported Patient Management Systems containing patient administrative and clinical details in a multi-user environment.
- T echnical advice to a London based Risk Management Organisation, which resulted in the successful design and implementation of an Automated Safety Surveillance Database System for an Oil Refinery in Germany.
Hi-Fi and Television
For Hi-Fi enthusiasts wishing to build their own stepped attenuator to replace the volume control in their amplifier, I have written two Javascript programs to calculate the values of the resistors required; one for a resistor string attenuator and the other for a shunt attenuator.
If anyone wants to test 300B triodes on a valve tester that doesn't support these valves, click here to read how I solved the problem with my B&K Dyna-Jet Valve (Tube) Tester Model 606.
For anyone interested in television engineering, I wrote an article for Wireless World back in 1979 entitled "Colour Synthesizer Design for the PAL System" on the design of a unit to electronically generate colour television pictures from a black & white source. The article can be downloaded here.
I have written a number of articles for Hi-Fi and audio magazines over the years. Reproductions of the submitted articles as PDF files from 2001 to 2011 are available here.
More recently, I wrote an article on how to display images from recordings of Baird 30-line television. Download the article here.
