The paper presents the design and implementation of an innovative Integrated Development Environment, developed within the on-going European Research Project TORERO, to model and design reusable distributed control systems (DCS). This project proposes an architecture which relies on a development environment based on the Eclipse tool and the emerging standard IEC 61499 and on a suitable control...

In this paper, we present the design and implementation of ConXsense, a framework utilizing context sensing for easy-to-use and adaptive context-aware access control for mobile devices. Previous work often require either users to laboriously specify detailed policies or they rely on pre-specified, non-personalized and error-prone policies for generic context classes. Recent approaches attempt t...

OBJECTIVE The authors examine the pattern of direction errors made during the manipulation of a physical simulation of an underground coal mine bolting machine to assess the directional control-response compatibility relationships associated with the device and to compare these results to data obtained from a virtual simulation of a generic device. BACKGROUND Directional errors during the man...

This paper presents systematic approach to evaluation of compatibility in a broad sense for user-centered and, particularly, user-model based information and industrial control interactive systems. Compatibility is considered as a multi-dimensional multi-level frame and criteria complex for coherent analysis, design, evaluation, redeployment and operational enduser-centered adaptation of human-...

the purpose of the present study is to examine the effects of ego depletion on arousal of elite iranian swimmers. the sample comprised elite swimmers invited to the national swimming team as focused and semi focused (36 subjects). the research design was as pre- and post-test—in two phases of ego depletion conditions and the lack of ego depletion conditions in two experimental and control group...

RRAM technology has made significant progress in the past decade as a competitive candidate for the next generation non-volatile memory (NVM). This lecture is a comprehensive tutorial of metal oxide-based RRAM technology from device fabrication to array architecture design. State-of-theart RRAM device performances, characterization, and modeling techniques are summarized, and the design conside...

a. Paul Gray b. Abstract A pipelined, 13-bit, 250-ksample/s (ks/s), 5-V, analog-to-digital (A/D) converter has been designed and fabricated in a 3-μm, CMOS technology. Monotonicity is achieved using a reference-feedforward correction technique instead of (self-) calibration of trimming to minimize the overall cost. The prototype converter requires 3400 mil 2 , and consumes 15 mW c. Design of a ...

This paper presents a new robotic mechanism for ultrasound imaging. The device is placed on a patient's body by an operator, and an ultrasound expert controls the motions of the device to obtain ultrasound images. The paper focuses on the robotic mechanism that performs ultrasound imaging. The design of the mechanism is based on two approaches to produce center of motion for an ultrasound probe...

Its main goal to present device adapted both requirements owners dogs themselves. goals set this project are ensure its functionality in all weather conditions. configuration methods described guarantee versatility device. Design assumptions, 3D model structure, electronics fragments control program presented...

This paper describes the design of LeviTABLE, an electromagnetic controlled topographical display device. The electromagnets control the movement and displacement of an array of vertical rods. The height of these rods represents individual points of elevation in a landscape. We describe the iterative design and implementation of LeviTABLE, discuss design issues and suggest further research dire...
