A Delphi Medical Application
Michael Bate, Radionics
Java for the Delphi Developer
Al Reinhart, DisCom Systems
This months meeting will start with a presentation by Michael Bate from Radionics, Burlington, MA describing a medical application developed in Delphi. The second part of the meeting will be an interactive presentation by Al Reinhart, DisCom Systems, providing an overview of Java for the Delphi developer.
ConforMax - Precise Beam Shaping for Conformal Radiotherpy
Radionics, in Burlington, is the world leader in Radiosurgery, which treats brain tumors with precisely aimed beams of high intensity x-rays.
This presentation will discuss how Delphi is used to implement software that controls a complex precision instrument used in the newest form of this treatment: conformal radiosurgery. This instrument shapes the x-ray beam to conform to the shape of the tumor, using moveable leaves made of tungsten. The software reads a treatment plan, sets the instrument to shape the beam, and then checks and double checks that everything has been set correctly before giving the OK for the beam to be turned on and the treatment to proceed. Issues of safety and FDA clearance will also be addressed.
Java for the Delphi Developer
Java has, and will continue to have, a growing influence on the Delphi developer community. This interactive presentation will provide an overview of Java, the environment and the language. It will start with an overview of the Java environment and its features, and continue with an introduction to the Java programming language. We will investigate the major features of the Java language and compare them with Object Pascal, and where appropriate, trace their origins from C++ and object oriented programming.
