Six-button Click Interface for a Disabled User by an Adjustable Multi-level Sip-and-Puff Switch

چکیده
There are various ways to control a computer, but today the mouse function, to move a cursor and to perform a click function, is essential. For motion-disabled persons, especially persons with high spinal cord injuries, special aids are needed to perform these interactions. In this study, an alternative way to perform a click function has been investigated, the sip-and-puff function. The purpose of the study was to improve an existing equipment used for click function, a sip-and-puff unit. An user-centred design approach was used, which means that the users took an active role in the development process, testing the prototypes in each development step and providing input for improvements. A survey of existing sip-and-puff units were performed, and from this and successive tests with the users, a sip-an-puff system was developed. As a result, a six level sip-and-puff unit to control a computer was developed. It was shown that spinal cord injured with high neck injuries could control a computer by using a multi-level sip-and-puff and that they could control the computer faster when they used a multileveled sip-and-puff instead of using a traditional sip-and-puff that only had two levels.

Driver Performance Using Single Switch Scanning with a Powered Wheelchair: Robotic Assisted Control versus Traditional Control
Single switch scanning is the access method of last resort for powered wheelchairs, primarily because drift is a significant problem. To correct a drift to the left or the right, the user must stop going forward, wait for the scanning device to get to the arrow for the direction of choice, click to turn the chair, stop turning, wait to scan to forward and then click to move forward again. Robot...

Assistive robotic arms hold great potential to assist individuals with motor impairments in performing pick-andplace tasks, object retrieval tasks, or even assist with personal hygiene and feeding. There are about 150,000 people in the United States who could benefit from using such assistive technology [4]. However, robotic arms typically have a much higher number of controllable degrees of fr...

The mechanisms which enable the vast majority of computer attacks are based on design and programming errors in networked applications. The growing use of voice over IP (VOIP) phone technology makes these phone applications potential targets. We present a tool to perform security testing of VOIP applications to identify security vulnerabilities which can be exploited by an attacker. Session Ini...
