TypeAdviser: a type design aiding-tool

چکیده
The number of people who design typefaces has drastically increased in the last twenty years. However, not all typefaces work as they should, i.e., as a group of characters with shared attributes. We present a tool for helping type designers in their creative process, which explores the anatomic relations among characters of a typeface. Having computer-aided design as a goal, our tool helps in the early stages of designing a typeface by using semi-automatic letter-part sharing and allowing the users to compare their design with existing typefaces.

A graphic modeling and analysis tool for human fault diagnosis tasks
This study presents a graphic modeling and analysis tool for use in constructing an operator’s mental model in fault diagnosis tasks. In most automatic and complicated process control systems, human fault diagnosis tasks have become increasingly complex and specialized. The system designer should consider the cognitive process of human operator to avert failure of implement action owing to a la...
متن کاملA Numerical Design Technique for a Relay - Type Feedback Control System
An efficient numerical method for the design and synthesis of compensator for a relay type control system is developed and discussed. Previous works based on the interactive graphic method are reviewed and it is shown that the combination of the trequency and time domain numerical techniques provide a powerful tool in design of a wide class of relay control systems. An example is presented to d...

متن کاملGerAPlanO - A new building design tool: design generation, thermal assessment and performance optimization
Building practitioners (architects, engineers, energy managers) are showing a growing interest in the design of more energy efficient and livable buildings. The best way to predict how a building will behave regarding energy consumption and thermal comfort is to use a dynamic simulation tool. However, the use of this kind of tools is difficult on a daily basis practice due to the heuristic and ...
