An Intelligent Computer Interface Utilizing Parallel Picocontrollers (TECHNICAL NOTE)

Abstract:

The design of an interface unit is described, in which RS232 serial data is converted to latched parallel data on 22 independent lines. The data direction of each line is programmable through the serial port. Two picocontrollers are employed in a parallel processing mode to give the required number of I/O pins, and data on the shared serial line is coded to separate data streams to the individual picocontrollers, and to avoid contention. The hardware configuration and the software for both the computer and microcontroller are described. The speed penalty of such a system compared with direct bus connection is analyzed.

An Intelligent User Interface for Enhancing Computer Generated Forces

The DoD widely uses airborne computer generated forces (CGFs) in simulation environments, however most CGFs are not autonomous or interactive enough to be directed naturally by a human controller. Full simulation capability requires detailed, doctrinally correct CGFs that can be controlled directly by airspace managers, such as air traffic controllers, air traffic services, or even ground comma...

An Intelligent Control Strategy in a Parallel Hybrid Vehicle

This paper presents a design procedure for an adaptive power management control strategy based on a driving cycle recognition algorithm. The design goal of the control strategy is to minimize fuel consumption and engine-out NOx, HC and CO emissions on a set of diversified driving schedules. Seven facility-specific drive cycles are considered to represent different driving scenarios. For each fa...

An Intelligent Multimodal Interface

In face-to-face conversation humans frequently use deictic gestures parallel to verbal descriptions for referent identification. Such a multimodal mode of communication is of great importance for intelligent interfaces, as it simplifies and speeds up reference to objects in a visualized application domain. Natural pointing behavior is very flexible, but also possibly ambiguous or vague, so that...
