  • Aerohive Release Notes
    Aerohive Release Notes Release Versions: HiveOS 6.1r6 and HiveManager 6.1r6a, StudentManager 1.1r5 Platforms: AP110, AP120, AP121, AP141, AP170, AP230, AP320, AP330, AP340, AP350, BR100, BR200, BR200-WP, BR200-LTE-VZ, SR 2024 series devices; VPN Gateway Appliance, and VPN Gateway Virtual Appliance; HiveManager Online, and all HiveManager Physical and Virtual Appliances. Release Date: June 30, 2014 These are the release notes for HiveOS 6.1r6 firmware, HiveManager 6.1r6a software, and StudentManger 1.1r5 software. These releases contain numerous new and enhanced features, summaries of which are described in the following section. For more detailed descriptions, see the Aerohive New Features Guide. Known issues are described in the "Known Issues" on page 18 section and "Addressed Issues" on page 20 section near the end of this document. Although HiveOS 3.4r4 was the last release for the HiveAP 20 series, HiveManager 6.1r6a can continue to manage all Aerohive platforms. However, you must push full configuration updates to them because some commands have been removed, which would cause delta configuration updates to fail. HiveManager can support full and delta configuration updates to APs, BRs, and SR series devices running HiveOS 5.0, 5.1, 6.0, and 6.1. Memory Increase Required before Upgrading to HiveManager 6.0 or Later Before upgrading HiveManager software on existing HiveManager physical appliances and HiveManager Virtual Appliances to 6.0r1 or later, you must first increase their memory to 3 gigabytes. For instructions about increasing the memory for a physical HiveManager appliance, see the instructions in Memory Upgrade for 1U HiveManager Appliances.

Because it’s not a general-purpose use; client must support DHCP4o6. Ian Farrell: “yet”? Peng: No, don’t plan to incorporate Ian: There’s a mechanism to do it over DHCPv6, don’t need it in the doc. -IanF - there is already ways to disable DHCPv4 -needs a reviewer or two - no volunteers in the room Also need more review of Analysis of NAT64 Port Allocation Methods for Shared IPv4 Addresses IPv6 Design Choices draft Victor presenting Did WGLC, had comments More cleanup still needed.

  • Two Way Interactive Sound on a Standalone Macintosh Platform
    Two way interactive sound on a standalone Macintosh platform Geoffrey Rehn Edith Cowan University Recent policy statements released by both Federal and State governments indicate official willingness to explore the possibilities of the new technologies in language teaching at all educational levels. In this article, the author discusses his experiments in using the Macintosh computer as a standalone, two way interactive language teacher, with the ability to record and play back the learner's attempts at pre-recorded words and phrases in a genuinely interactive sense. Success has been achieved using the MacRecorder, the AudioPalette in HyperCard 2 and Authorware Professional. These developments will prove of interest to those involved in computer- assisted language learning (CALL). Introduction The ability of the Macintosh to generate sound without the need for any additional hardware has been one of the unique features of the machine since its introduction in 1984. A sound output port has been part of the standard Macintosh interface since the first model was released. Now that some of the newer Macintosh models, such as the popular LC, are being shipped with their own built-in microphones, it is possible to input sound into the Macintosh without the need for any additional software, such as Farralon Computing's MacRecorder and associated software. This new development will change how the user incorporates sound into his / her work and truly interactive sound is now possible without the need for any purchase on the part of the user. This paper will explore the use of two - way interactive sound on the Macintosh and its potential for language learning by looking at the use of Farralon's MacRecorder on the older Macintoshes, the use of the AudioPalette shipped with Hypercard 2 on the newer Macs and the ability of Authorware Professional to support interactive sound.

Personal and study details Student's name: Bulander Filip Personal ID number: 456876 Faculty / Institute: Faculty of Electrical Engineering Department / Institute: Department of Control Engineering Study program: Cybernetics and Robotics Branch of study: Systems and Control II. Bachelor’s thesis details Bachelor’s thesis title in English: Interface iOS for control of an unmanned helicopter in ROS Bachelor’s thesis title in Czech: Rozhraní iOS pro řízení bezpilotní helikoptéry v ROSu Guidelines: The goal of the thesis is to design, implement, and experimentally verify in Gazebo simulator and real experiments an application in iOS for control an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) equipped by onboard Linux PC with Robot Operating System (ROS). 1. Implement an interface in iOS to operate by iPhones a UAV equipped by Linux onboard computer with ROS [1,2]. 2. Design and implement an iOS application for basic UAV control by iPhones (joystick, setting GPS points, displaying a UAV telemetry - position estimation, battery status, data from selected onboard sensors). 3. Verify the application in Gazebo and with a real platform in outdoor conditions. 4. Design and implement an iOS application to setup and control an inspection/monitoring task. A user submits a sequence of points of snapshots and camera orientations in these points and the application returns a collision-free path in a known map. The user can edit the obtained path and confirm its execution.

  • HISTORY of APPLE[Tm] MACINTOSH[Tm] OPERATING SYSTEM
    HISTORY OF APPLE[tm] MACINTOSH[tm] OPERATING SYSTEM LisaDesk : released, on January 1983, for Apple Lisa computer. On January 1985, Lisa 2-10, outfitted with MacWorks, was renamed Macintoh XL. System 1 (1.0 and 1.1) : released respectively on January 1984 and May 1984, both versions were directly derived from LisaDesk offered less functionality, in favor of being more stable. Certain functions of LisaDesk were included in later versions of Mac[tm] OS, including Mac[tm] OS X. System 2 (1.2 to 2.1) : while integrating new functions, the principal objective of this system was to allow a better management to compensate for the absence of a hard disk on first models of Macintosh. System 3 (2.2 to 3.3) : this system accompanied, on 1986, the new Macintosh models. This system had more facility and was more powerful, it allowed the integration of new file format HFS, of new communications functionality, and laser printer support. System 4 & 5 (4.0 to 5.1) : these systems accompanied the first Macintosh models with colour monitors, and allowed transition between mono-task system and cooperative multi-task system with first generation of Multifinder which made possible to manage several applications simultaneously. System 6 (6.0 to 6.0.8) : improvements to the cooperative multi-task system with second generation of Multifinder. It was released in many specialized versions according to the model which was equipped to meet specific needs, particularly for graphic applications. System 7 (7.0 to 7.6.1) : complete integration of cooperative multi-task processing inside the system, this system gradually integrated increasingly significant functionality concerning multimedia applications and Internet.
