Published from 1990-2002, Computing and Control Engineering Journal was concerned with computing, communications, control and instrumentation. It provided a forum in which practising professionals could keep abreast of technical developments in a wide range of disciplines in their field, and a forum for exchanging experiences, anecdotes, success and failure stories and best practices in the conduct of their professional lives.

This publication is continued by Computing and Control Engineering 2003-2007. ISSN 0956-3385. more..

Managing intellectual property: Nail it down before you lose it

  Managing intellectual property is about using intellectual property rights (IPR) to protect an innovative concept in order to produce a commercial advantage. Intellectual property rights are the building blocks for managing intellectual property. They are a collection of registrable and unregistrable rights which have different, but sometimes overlapping, uses. IPR includes patents, registered designs, unregistered design right, copyright, database right, semiconductor design right, registered trade marks, unregistered trade marks, domain names and confidential information.
Some dimensions of risk not often considered by engineers

  For many years risk analysis has informed the design and operation of technologically risky systems, and many engineers and scientists consider risk to be objectively measurable. But a great deal of research into the subject by social scientists, including psychological studies into risk perception and decision-making, should interest engineers and could inform improvements to the process of risk analysis.
LEO and the computer revolution

  If there is a single point at which today's global IT industry was born, it could be argued that it was on the 17th November 1951, when LEO, the Lyons Electronic Office, ran the first business application on an electronic computer. 50 years later a conference was held in London to mark the `50 years of business computing'. This article is based on the 2001 Pinkerton Lecture given on the 5th November at the conference by the author, who was manager of J.C. Lyons Systems Research Unit.

  Real-time control techniques for measuring parameters in crude oil storage tanks are described. The techniques enable the height of the oil/water layer in the storage tanks to be measured. By using this measuring technique for the oil-water interface, with the height of the interface in the tanks, coupled with the measurements of the water/oil content ratio, the density and flow rate of crude oil and the net oil quantity can be calculated. Therefore, automatic online computation of crude oil reserves and gross output quantity of net oil can be accurately predicted. The proposed method solves a difficult oil field problem that enables control of oil and gas production volumes to be maintained, particularly in low temperature environments where conventional instrumentation has proved ineffective. The control techniques enable the oil production process to function safely and reliably.
