With the evolution of mobile devices, and smart-phones in particular, comes the ability to create new experiences that enhance the way we see, interact, and manipulate objects, within the world that surrounds us. It is now possible to blend data from our senses and our devices in numerous ways that simply were not possible before using Augmented Reality technology. In a near future, when all of...

Microarray experiments can provide molecular-level insight into a variety of biological processes, from yeast cell cycle to tumorogenesis. However, analysis of both genomic and protein microarray data requires interactive collaborative investigation by biology and bioinformatics researchers. To assist collaborative analysis, remote collaboration tools for integrative analysis and visualization ...

In online context, the design and implementation of effective remote laboratories environment is highly challenging on account of hardware and software needs. This paper presents the remote laboratory software framework modified from ilab shared architecture (ISA). The ISA is a framework which enables students to remotely acccess and control experimental hardware using internet infrastructure. ...

In several applications involving bilateral telemanipulation, master and slave robots act at different power scales (e.g. telesurgery). The aim of this paper is to embed power scaling into port-Hamiltonian based bilateral telemanipulation schemes. In order to deal with non negligible transmission delays we propose a novel scattering based communication strategy to properly scale the power excha...

Objective: Remote Ischemic Preconditioning (RIPC) as the transient ischemia and reperfusion of the arm is a promising method for protecting different tissue from future ischemia. These effects might be mediated through vascular and endothelial growth factor (VEGF) pathway. We investigated the influence of RIPC on diabetic macular edema (DME) as a chronic ischemic condition in patients who were ...

This document describes a protocol providing Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA) as a new transport for Remote Procedure Call (RPC). The RDMA transport binding conveys the benefits of efficient, bulkdata transport over high-speed networks, while providing for minimal change to RPC applications and with no required revision of the application RPC protocol, or the RPC protocol itself.

TV is one of the most important home appliances and the remote controller is a crucial TV input device. TV remote controllers have always been designed with TV compatibility in mind, with little concern for TV programs or ease of use. This is a serious limitation to the development of TV services, such as iTV (interactive TV). A system framework is proposed in this study in which external displ...

SOMba is a systemwhere multiple users create new rhythms and music by moving around a physical space while being tracked in real time using the infrared sensor on the Wii remote control. The physical space they move around in is mapped to a 2D Self-Organizing map. This SOM is created using the Marsyas audio processing framework from a collection of aligned 1-bar Samba rhythms of a variety of Br...

Excavation and earthmoving equipment mostly operate in accident-prone areas. These areas normally have rollover, confinement, and fall or may be considered harmful work areas due to demolitions and sewage removals. It is inevitable that excavation and earthmoving systems should be developed to secure the safety of operators through unmanned and remote control systems. Therefore, this research p...

In this paper we describe the design, development and evaluation of user interfaces for a modern digital home based on the ISO/IEC 24752 standard: Universal Remote Console—URC. Two target groups were addressed: seniors aged 65 years and above and people suffering from Alzheimer’s disease. Our goal is to design user interfaces (UI) for our target groups that make use of all available modalities,...
