Computer systems which can automatically alter aspects of their functionality or interface to suit the needs of individuals or groups of users have appeared over the years in a variety of guises. Most recently attention has focused on intelligent interface agents which are seen as specialised, knowledge-based systems acting on behalf of the user in some aspect of the interaction. Similar requir...

Objective. The aim of this study was to assess the influence of implant-abutment interface (IAI) placement depths on peri-implant tissues in the presence of ligature-induced peri-implant inflammation. Materials and Methods. Two implants with screwed-in IAIs (SI) and two implants with tapped-in IAIs (TI) were inserted in one side of the mandible in six dogs eight weeks after tooth extraction. Fo...

in some mobile systems, intelligent antennas are used to increase efficiency in a wide frequency band and different environmental and electromagnetic conditions. environmental factors, such as position of nearby objects, antenna mobility and even user type, can vary the antenna input impedance appreciably. therefore, it is necessary to incorporate an adaptive impedance matching circuit between ...

Background and Aim: Oral bacteria can proliferate in the implant-abutment interface (IAI) and cause inflammation in the peri-implant tissues and adjacent bone. This study aimed to assess the effect of zirconia and titanium abutments on the microleakage of the IAI under oblique cyclic loading conditions. Materials and Methods: In this in-vitro study, 12 implant-abutment assemblies with zirconia...

accurate and correct performance of controller in cruise control systems is important. hence, in such systems, controller should optimize itself against noise and probable changes in system dynamic. as a matter of fact, in this article three approaches have been conducted to-ward this purpose: mit, direct estimation and indirect estimation. these approaches are used as controllers to track refe...

To successfully interact with users in providing useful information, intelligent user interfaces need a mechanism for recognizing, characterizing, and predicting user actions. In particular, it is our interest to develop the mechanism for recognizing and predicting simple user intentions, i.e., an activity involves in using particular resources. Much work to date in adaptive user interfaces has...

Recent research indicates that ontologies will play a greater role in the development and maintenance of intelligent and adaptive educational systems. The benefits of ontologies for intelligent educational systems are that (1) intelligent agents can use the developed ontologies as the basis for their knowledge base construction, reasoning and interface design; (2) in a distributed education env...

Assistive devices for disabled people with the help of Brain-Computer Interaction (BCI) technology are becoming vital bio-medical engineering. People physical disabilities need some assistive to perform their daily tasks. In these devices, higher latency factors be addressed appropriately. Therefore, main goal this research is implement a real-time BCI architecture minimum command actuation. Th...

This paper describes an adaptive and smart interface and shows its successful application for VCR Remote Control using hand gestures. The interface is capable of learning the user’s operational habits and can offer selfhelp, aka wizard mode of operation; it can then monitor the user’s gestures and maintain constant vigilance in an attempt to assist her through feedback using video display and/o...

Adaptive Work-Centered User Interface Technology (ACUITy) is an ontology-based approach to modeling and implementing intelligent user interfaces built on top of Jena. Its potential benefits and underlying technologies are explored in the context of decision support systems.
