This paper presents a novel idea for online 3D product configuration in e-Commerce and its prototyping system using the Web viewing technology. The end user is allowed to choose the configuration of each individual component, assemble the chosen components, and see the resulting product in real time with a regular browser. This system provides a set of graphical functions such as zoom, rotation...

Training equipment users The primary responsibility for the care and maintenance of equipment rests with the user. Users should understand how their equipment works, what its limitations are, and what it can and cannot do. All of these are usually well described in the user manual that is supplied by the equipment manufacturer or supplier. It is important that users read and understand the user...

We have developed a 3D vision-based semiautonomous assistive robot arm control method, called AROMA-V, to provide intelligent robotic manipulation assistance to individuals with impaired motor control. A working prototype AROMA-V was built on a JACO robotic manipulator combined with a low-cost short-range 3D depth-sensing camera. In performing actual robotic manipulation tasks with the AROMA-V,...

BACKGROUND The new sepsis definition has increased the need for frequent sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA) score recalculation and the clerical burden of information retrieval makes this score ideal for automated calculation. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to (1) estimate the clerical workload of manual SOFA score calculation through a time-motion analysis and (2) describe a use...

Smart Environments is one of several domains in which Semantic Web technologies are applied nowadays. Ontologies, in particular, are used as core modeling languages for representing devices, systems and environments. Developing such ontologies, that typically involve several device descriptions (individuals) and related information, i.e., individuals of classes contributing to the device model,...

in the united states schools in the k12 school system, that provide education for primary, junior and senior high school students, are moving toward information systems to solve and automate some manual processes performed in these schools. with this movement, and the pressure on schools to use technology to improve student achievement, many schools are turning to learning management systems as...

Mobile platform has taken over all aspects of human activities, and researchers are emphasising on providing efficient and bug free applications running on mobile platform. As the time to market for mobile applications are very short so there is a need for techniques which are automated and provide robust and reliable applications. Although manual testing is the most popular technique for testi...

The dynamic systems approach to the design of continuous interaction allows designers to use analytical tools such as state-space modeling and Bode diagrams to simulate and analyse the behaviour and stability of sensor-based applications alone and when it is coupled with a manual control model of user behaviour. This approach also helps designers to calibrate and tune the parameters of the sens...
