Probabilistic design: The future of rock engineering

A brief background to the development of the rock engineering design process is given, showing that since the development of the science of mathematics, deterministic methods have been used to perform various calculations. The variability of rock properties and support characteristics have always been known. However, they were not explicitly used in design but compensated for by the use of a sa...

Portable Virtual Piano Design

The purpose of this study is to design a portable virtual piano. By utilizing optical fiber gloves and the virtual piano software designed by this study, the user can play the piano anywhere at any time. This virtual piano consists of three major parts: finger tapping identification, hand movement and positioning identification, and MIDI software sound effect simulation. To play the virtual pia...

Process Portable Analog Design

Modern day digital integrated circuit designs can be designed without choosing a target programmable device or fabrication process until near the very end of the design flow. Current analog design tools and processes, however, require that the fabrication process be chosen very early on in the design process. This paper describes a vision of analog design that can be used to make more of the an...

Design of Wireless Portable Systems

The InfoPad project explores the infrastructure and devices required for portable wireless access to the national information infrastructure. The InfoPad model emphasizes high-bandwidth wireless connectivity and moves the computing power of the portable device into the backbone network, where we can provide not only full internet access, but increased computing power as well. By concentrating o...
