Description and Requirements. Photographer will provide to Villanova the photography and/or video recording services described in Exhibit A (the “Services”), using Photographer’s materials, equipment, tools, insurance, supervision, and labor (unless specified otherwise in this Agreement). Villanova may buy Services without further documents or by using a purchase order, service order, project agreement, or other document (each an “Additional Purchase Document” or “APD”). This Agreement governs APDs, but we may omit, add, or change parts of this Agreement with respect to Services covered by an APD by saying so in the APD.
Description and Requirements. The Economy Act of 1932, as amended, 31 U.S.C. § 1535, permits Federal Government agencies to purchase goods or services from other Federal Government agencies or other major organizational units within the same agency. An Economy Act purchase is permitted only if: (1) amounts for the purchase are actually available, (2) the purchase is in the best interest of the Government, (3) the ordered goods or services cannot be provided by contract from a commercial enterprise, i.e., the private sector, as conveniently or cheaply as could be by the Government, and (4) the agency or unit to fill the order is able to provide or get by contract the ordered goods or services. The Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR), 48 CFR 17.5 provides further requirements for Economy Act agreements. The FAR provides that an order cannot be placed under the Economy Act if a more specific statutory authority exists. Purchases pursuant to the Economy Act are not exempt from the requirements of 48 CFR 7.3, “Contractor Versus Government Performance.” Thus, OMB Circular A-76 applies to Economy Act agreements. Economy Act agreement must achieve full cost recovery, and there is no law permits a waiver of this full cost recovery requirement. Full cost recovery includes direct and indirect costs. Further, the Economy Act does not allow a Federal agency or unit to receive a profit when providing goods or services. The FAR states that Economy Act orders must include (1) a description of the supplies or services required; (2) delivery requirements; (3) a funds citation; (4) a payment provision ; and
Description and Requirements. The smart carpet is the home device that enables the day-by-day weight measurement and the periodic balance assessment. The device provides the following main features: It provides enough data to assess the weight of the individual with negligible error and assesses its balance conditions; wireless: unwired communication channel would allow free placement of the device inside the user apartment; low cost: the device must not be expensive; ease to use and in a safe way.
Description and Requirements. The environmental sensors are intended to get suitable data from the daily life of the user to evaluate the social interactions in an unobtrusive, user-unaware way. These sensors are called environmental since they are installed in the rooms of the user’s house and do not require any user intervention, avoiding interferences in his daily life. There are two types of environmental sensors: presence detectors, based on passive infrared technology (PIR) and door detectors, based on magnetic contacts. Measurement from these two kinds of devices are combined to assess, among others, the number of social interactions at home and an approximation to the number of people interacting. The selection of the sensors, as the rest of subsystems has been performed considering requirements from the lifestyle protocol (WP2), the smart environment (WP4) and the WSN (WP3). Despite of specification in the deliverable D3.1, based on the indications of the first version of D4.1, two kind of devices have been discarded for the pilot phase due to different reasons. The microphone will not be used for privacy concerns raised by the pilot responsible partners. Nevertheless, data collection experiences have been done using microphones, so the impact of these devices will be studied, independently of the decision of not using them in the pilots. About the pressure sensors or people counters, although these devices have been identified as good candidate to obtain precise information about the presence of hosts at the user home, a strong requirement of the DOREMI project is the affordability for the final user. This recommends avoiding the use of these devices as these are noticeably more expensive than the rest of the components of the network and their inclusion in an eventual product would drastically affect the price, producing a 50% cost increase in the best case. The limitations imposed to the specifications of the selected environmental sensors have been studied in collaboration with WP4 members, and the performed changes have been agreed with the partners. These changes have been reflected in D4.1 and in D3.1 revised versions, where specifications have been let as they were in the first version, in order to report the work performed during the first period of the project, but they have been updated in the section 14 System configuration and deployment in pilot sites. The devices used in DOREMI are commercial products of the Z-Wave catalogue. This technology has been selected du...
Description and Requirements. In this project, a smartphone will be used as a mobile gateway for the data generated by the wristband. The use of a smartphone presents many advantages and some drawbacks. Some of the advantages of using mobile phones in DOREMI are: Availability of outdoor location, suitable for social assessment, routines determination and even wandering detection. Simpler circuitry in the wristband that allows more hardware resources available for the core functionalities. The use of a smartphone is generally considered a good practice for the elderly living alone because of security reasons, since it provides an instantaneous way to communicate to the elder and, if needed, to assist on emergency. It also introduces the following pitfalls: It forces the user to take the device each time he gets out home. The user has to remember about this; It needs a recharge cycle each night, adding an additional routine in the user´s life. For DOREMI, it has been considered that the advantages are more important than the problems than the use of smartphone as a gateway introduces. The smartphone will be compliant with the wireless communication technology of the DOREMI wristband (BLE), and it will manage the communication in outdoor-indoor and indoor-outdoor transitions, as well as it will be responsible for collecting and storing the data provided by the wristband and GPS position. Specifically, the smartphone will manage the following: The smartphone detects the DOREMI wristband and reads data that the BLE device transmit. When the smartphone detects data emitted by the DOREMI wristband, it is saved in the phone memory. The user leaves home: the user leaves home wearing the DOREMI wristband and carrying the smartphone. As the devices loses connectivity with the home wireless network, the smartphone starts GPS location collection. The user goes back home: The smartphone establishes an Internet connection with the WIFI of the user’s house and the smartphone app stops the data collection and starts the data transmission to the back-end. All these features are performed by a custom application developed for the DOREMI project. This application runs in background in the phone, avoiding any user interaction that could add complexity to the DOREMI protocol or reduce the overall usability.
