We present a survey of pointing devices for wearable computers, which are body-mounted devices that users can access at any time. Since traditional pointing devices (i.e., mouse, touchpad, and trackpoint) were designed to be used on a steady and flat surface they are inappropriate for wearable computers. Just as the advent of laptops resulted in the development of the touchpad and trackpoint, t...

CUIML, the Cooperative User Interfaces Markup Language, was developed as part of the DWARF project. The goal of DWARF is the development of a framework for augmented reality applications running on wearable computers. For wearable systems, the HCI (human-computer interface) consists of numerous I/O devices such as head mounted displays, palm-size devices, and speech recognition systems. This sh...

In this project, a tele-operated anthropomorphic robotic arm and hand is designed and built as a versatile robotic arm system. The robot has the ability to manipulate objects such as pick and place operations. It is also able to function by itself, in standalone mode. Firstly, the robotic arm is built in order to interface with a personal computer via a serial servo controller circuit board. Th...

Cancer therapy optimization is an issue that can be solved using the control engineering approach. An optimal generation algorithm presented and tested a tractable mouse model of breast cancer. The optimized therapeutic protocol calculated in closed-loop manner at fixed time instants, twice week. controller consists nonlinear predictive which uses state estimation moving horizon estimator. esti...

Computers and services such as eBanks and WebMails that identify users only at login via credentials are vulnerable to Identity Theft. Hackers perpetrate fraudulent activity under stolen identities by using credentials, such as passwords and smartcards, unlawfully obtained from legitimate users or by using logged-on computers that are left unattended. User verification methods provide an additi...

Technology is advancing at a rapid pace, automating many everyday chores in the process, changing the way we perform work and providing various forms of entertainment. Makers of technology, however, often do not consider the needs of the disabled in their design of products by, for example, providing some alternative means of interaction with their devices. The use of computers presents a chall...

Due to the ever-increasing computational capabilities and the increasing use of automated manufacturing, distributed large-scale, discrete-event manufacturing system controllers are being proposed and designed. Currently there is a large amount of research in the area of simulation of manufacturing systems, scheduling and some research in the control of automated manufacturing plants. Even inte...

We increasingly rely on computers to interact with the physical world for us. At the large end, software underlies the control systems of commercial aircraft and power plants, and at the small end it controls medical devices and hobbyist UAVs. The failure of any of these systems can have severe consequences which are often measured in the loss of human lives. Formal verification has proven a pr...
