Cognitive models allow predicting some aspects of utility and usability of human machine interfaces, and also simulating the interaction with these interfaces. The action of predicting is based on a task analysis which analyses what a user is required to do in terms of actions and cognitive processes to achieve a task. Task analysis facilitates the understanding of the functionalities of the sy...

Multileaf collimator (MLC) is among the radiation field shaping systems used for conformal radiotherapy and intensity modulation radiation therapy techniques. The MLC system that has been designed and fabricated in this study includes 52 leaves, 52 stepper motors, 2 DC motors, 16 programmable logic controllers (PLCs) and one human machine interface (HMI). This system can be mounted on conventio...

Abstract Due to the accumulation of solar observational data and development data-driven algorithms, deep learning methods are widely applied build a flare forecasting model. Most works focus on how design or select proper networks for task. Nevertheless, influence image resolution based model has not been analyzed discussed. In this Paper, we investigate magnetograms accuracy forecasting. We s...

The authors present a new method of recognizing different human facial gestures through their neural activities and muscle movements, which can be used in machine-interfacing applications. Human-machine interface (HMI) technology utilizes human neural activities as input controllers for the machine. Recently, much work has been done on the specific application of facial electromyography (EMG)-b...

This paper presents the design of a Reliability Monitoring System (RMS) for nuclear power plant which was newly developed by authors. The RMS, combining a dynamic reliability analysis system with an online fault management system, can assist technical personnel with their daily tasks such as system configuration management, maintenance plan making and state monitoring from a point of view that ...

The ion beam laboratory ISL at the Hahn-MeitnerInstitut Berlin (HMI) supplied light and heavy ion beams for research and applications in solid state physics, industry, and medicine. Since 1998, eye tumours are treated with 68 MeV protons in collaboration with the University Hospital Benjamin Franklin, now Charité Campus Benjamin Franklin. In autumn 2004 the board of directors of the HMI decided...

Chemical engineering unit operation labs do an excellent job of integrating the whole curriculum and exposing students to pilot-scale systems. Where they are often lacking, though, is the exposure to and use of real-life industrial automation by the future graduates. A unit operation lab that has been automated using industrial level paradigms and equipment is the focus of this paper. A partner...

The successful clinical application of high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) ablation depends on reliable monitoring of the lesion formation. Harmonic motion imaging guided focused ultrasound (HMIgFUS) is an ultrasound-based elasticity imaging technique, which monitors HIFU ablation based on the stiffness change of the tissue instead of the echo intensity change in conventional B-mode monito...
