Technical professional association IEEE, US, has announced that the IEEE Standards Association (IEEE-SA) Standards Board has approved projects for the creation of four new standards. They will address quality assessment of 3D displays, contents and devices; network communication at nanoscale; the digital microscope analysers, whole slide image scanners and digital microscopes that are used in clinical-laboratory medicine; and overhead contact systems (OCS) for transit vehicles.
When completed, IEEE P3333 - Standard for the Quality Assessment of Three Dimensional (3D) Displays, 3D Contents and 3D Devices based on Human Factors - will establish methods of quality assessment of 3D displays, contents and devices based on human factors such as photosensitive seizures, motion sickness and visual fatigue. It will also identify and quantify the causes of those factors. The standard is intended to address the need for accurate quality-assessment techniques as the demand and supply for 3D display devices grow.
IEEE P1906.1 - Recommended Practice for Nanoscale and Molecular Communication Framework - will contain a conceptual model and standard terminology for ad-hoc network communication at nanoscale. This project is designed to enable R&D in this area by focusing industry and academia on a common conceptual model, language and nomenclature for nanoscale communications. It will eventually allow a family of standards to be developed that will lead to the creation of the nanoscale communications mechanisms for various applications.
IEEE P1822 - Standard for Digital Microscope Analyzer, Whole Slide Image Scanner and Digital Microscope - will define electrical and mechanical specifications for three pieces of equipment used in clinical-laboratory medicine. The standard is intended to provide common terminology and test methods for describing device performance.
IEEE P1833 - Guide for the Design of Direct Current Overhead Contact Systems for Transit Systems - will develop performance requirements and design guidelines that control hazards, improve performance and reliability and reduce lifecycle costs for OCS. The guide will apply to the design of OCS used to power heavy- and light-rail vehicles, streetcars and electric trolleybuses, where traction power is supplied from a direct-current OCS with a nominal voltage of 600 Vdc and above.
