CSU EcoCAR 2: Introduces the UI Team Background

چکیده
By: Sarah Bass (Responsible for the history and similar applications: Items 1 and 2) The history behind CSU’s Vehicle Innovation Team (CSU VIT) is characterized by its involvement with the Department of Energy’s Advanced Vehicle Technology Competitions (AVTC). The DOE has sponsored more than 45 AVTC’s running over the span of 26 years; 10 of which have been run through the Argonne National Laboratory (ANL). The current competition, EcoCAR 2: Plugging into the Future, started in 2011 and is set to wrap up in May 2014. The competition is extremely challenging: a Chevrolet Malibu must be redesigned to reduce environmental impact while maintaining factors such as safety, performance, functionality, and consumer acceptability. In order to do this one must have a good understanding of the underlying history and nature that goes along with the problem, as well as looking into what technology is currently available and its ability to satisfy these needs. One area of study in the realm of vehicle User Interfaces (UI) is analyzing what types of interfaces out there are most suitable to tasks being performed by drivers and the safety concerns involved with such interfaces. This paper explores the role that rotary pads, touchscreens, touchpads, haptic feedback and head-up-displays play in vehicle safety.

متن کاملPeriostin and Interleukin-13 Are Independently Related to Chronic Spontaneous Urticaria
Chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) is a complex idiopathic disease of the skin with various cellular infiltrations. Although mast cells are key effector cells in the pathogenesis of CSU, CD4+ T helper 2 cells also have particular roles in the development and maintenance of CSU. Periostin is known as a downstream molecule of interleukin (IL)-4 and IL-13, key cytokines of type 2 immune responses...
متن کاملHashimoto's disease is a frequent comorbidity and an exacerbating factor of chronic spontaneous urticaria.
BACKGROUND The precise pathogenesis of chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) remains unknown. However, an important association between CSU and autoimmune disorders such as Hashimoto's disease (HD) has been reported. We investigated the frequency of HD as a comorbidity of CSU and the prevalence rate of autoreactivity among CSU patients with HD. PATIENTS AND METHODS The presence of thyroid autoa...

BACKGROUND Chronic spontaneous urticaria (csU), which is characterized by recurrent episodes of mast cell-driven wheal and flare-type skin reactions, is often associated with elevated total IgE levels and thyroid autoimmunity. We speculate that some csU patients express IgE autoantibodies against thyroid antigens such as thyroid peroxidase (TPO), which could bind to skin mast cells and induce t...
