BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to evaluate potential benefits of a new diagnostic software prototype (Trauma Viewer, TV) automatically reformatting computed tomography (CT) data on diagnostic speed and quality, compared to CT-image data evaluation using a conventional CT console. METHODS Multiple trauma CT data sets were analysed by one expert radiology and one expert traumatology fello...

aim and background: a child adhd is one of the most common child psychiatric disorders. lack of drug treatment of the before mentioned disorder may leads to various problems in children because of weight gain. methods and materials: methodology used in this research is quasi-experimental intervention study which has done by using two experimental and control groups. our research population was ...

This paper shows the applicability of the Sony PlayStation2 console as a platform to motivate the students in the Computer Architecture courses. As this console incorporates several processors that implement data and instruction level parallelism, and also applies a relatively complete and user configurable memory architecture, it is possible to design practical exercises that show how interest...

Despite the last decade’s research and new insights into humanmachine communication, much of today’s technology is too complicated to use, e.g., [6]. This is true for consumer electronics as well as household devices—much of the cutting-edge products do not fit in an every-day environment for every-day users. Current home automation solutions are for technophile users. The lack of intuitive or ...

Robotic surgical platforms were first developed with telesurgery in mind. Conceptualized by NASA and the military to provide surgical expertise to remote locations, some telesurgical success has been documented, but progress has been held back by communication bandwidth limitations. Telepresence surgery, where the surgeon is in proximity to the patient but is provided with an ergonomic console ...

In this paper we argue that the technology to create Virtual Environment (VE) is not yet to the point where we can ignore the effect on the user of the limits of the quality of the simulation. User cannot interact with the virtual world using the same techniques they use in the real world. We firmly believe there is a need to understand the limits and differences of the translation of real-worl...

The Internet network in conjunction with a strong security policy can be an ideal online broadcast system for the industrial processes monitoring and control. Because the distributed controllers are connected through industrial serial connection, the network between controllers cannot be extended very much. The problem appears when the plant is away and cannot be accessed via a serial connectio...

The goal of this paper is to present the development of a tracking technology to interact with a virtual object. This paper presents the general procedures of building a simple, low cost tracking system by using Wiimote (a remote of Nintendo game console) and the Open source Computer Vision (OpenCV) software library as well as interfacing the tracking system with an immersive virtual environmen...
