Preface: How to Use the Books Overview With the rapid growth of technology applied_to theareas of augmentative communication, special education, and rehabilitation, the taskof identifying the appropriate technological_ tools (aids)can be overwhelming. We wrote the Rehab/Education Technology Resourcebook Seriesto allow you to quickly identify promiting tools so you can focus moreenergy on applying them successfully. In addition, we believe that looking through these bookscan help you to understand the huge 1varicty of currently available_ tools, the kinds ofnee& they attempt to address, and the capabilities of the people whocan make use of them. The Books Include Special Devices and Software The Rehab/Education Technology Resourcebooks includeproducts designed specifically for elderly people and people with disabilities._Book 1 covers communicatiOn aids, Book 2 covers switches and environmentalcontrols, and Book 3 covert computer software and hardware. The books also includeproducts that Were originally designed for use by ordinary people butare marketed specially for elderly or disabled people. Productt marketed for the general public which couldbe useful to people with ditabilities or elderly people could not be included in theResourcebookt due to the volume of material. For example; general educational softwareand ttandard word processing programs can be useful to people with disabilitiet butthere are too many to include.AppcndiA A, Additional Resources, can guideyou to sources of further information on these types of products. Each Chapter Covers Products With the Same PrimaryFunctiOn Each chapter contains all the products with thesame primary function arranged alphabetically. The chapter title identifies the primary functionof the products that appear in it and the first page of each chapter has a brief explanation of the meaning of the title and the scope of the chapter. Special Indexes Help You Find Products That meetspotigt Nee& We have included special Cross Reference Indexesto help youSearch for available products to meet specific needs. The Cross-Reference Indekeslocated near the back of the books allow you to find products by function,by input feature; by output feature, and by computer. A separate Cross Reference Indexfor switches allows you to search for twitches by input/output feature. ALL the Cross Reference Indexes include ALL the products from ALL three books. The codes used in each index, and their meaning,are listedon each index title page. Cross reference codes, italicized_and enclosed in parentheses;follow each entry. The book=page numbers_for the product descriptioncome after the cross reference codes. For example, a product that is on page 125 of book 3 will have thenolation 3=125.

  • Guide to Braille ASCII (Or “Computer Braille”)
    A Guide to Braille ASCII (or “Computer Braille”) Some electronic braille devices occasionally display information or require that users input information in “computer braille” or braille ASCII. Braille ASCII is not technically a braille code, but rather is a one-to-one mapping between braille characters and the QWERTY keyboard (a standard computer keyboard). If you have a braille font installed on your computer, that braille font is the same as “computer braille” when typing. This guide will provide you with an overview of what you need to know to be able to understand or enter text when a device says, “computer braille required.” Do Not Contract Since braille ASCII is a one-to-one mapping between the QWERTY keyboard and braille signs, there is no translation occurring, so contractions cannot be used. Instead of typing: ,l\is ,brl You would need to type: louis braille Because there is no translation occurring, you also cannot use braille indicators that don’t exist in print, such as the number indicator (dots 3-4-5- 6 #) or the capital indicator (dot 6 ,). Numbers Since the number indicator is a symbol that does not exist in print and cannot be used, all numbers are represented in the lower part of the braille cell with no number indicator preceding them. If you need to type a mixture of letters and numbers, such as a postal code like V6P 6G2, instead of typing: ,V#f,P #f,G#b www.prcvi.org March 2021 A Teacher’s Guide to Braille ASCII (or “Computer Braille”) You would type: V6P 6G2 Capitals Without being able to use dot 6 to indicate capitals, many devices will use 8- dot input to accomplish this.

  • AVR244 AVR UART As ANSI Terminal Interface
    AVR244: AVR UART as ANSI Terminal Interface Features 8-bit • Make use of standard terminal software as user interface to your application. • Enables use of a PC keyboard as input and ascii graphic to display status and control Microcontroller information. • Drivers for ANSI/VT100 Terminal Control included. • Interactive menu interface included. Application Note Introduction This application note describes some basic routines to interface the AVR to a terminal window using the UART (hardware or software). The routines use a subset of the ANSI Color Standard to position the cursor and choose text modes and colors. Rou- tines for simple menu handling are also implemented. The routines can be used to implement a human interface through an ordinary termi- nal window, using interactive menus and selections. This is particularly useful for debugging and diagnostics purposes. The routines can be used as a basic interface for implementing more complex terminal user interfaces. To better understand the code, an introduction to ‘escape sequences’ is given below. Escape Sequences The special terminal functions mentioned (e.g. text modes and colors) are selected using ANSI escape sequences. The AVR sends these sequences to the connected terminal, which in turn executes the associated commands. The escape sequences are strings of bytes starting with an escape character (ASCII code 27) followed by a left bracket ('['). The rest of the string decides the specific operation. For instance, the command '1m' selects bold text, and the full escape sequence thus becomes 'ESC[1m'. There must be no spaces between the characters, and the com- mands are case sensitive. The various operations used in this application note are described below.

  • Serial (RS-232) Commands
    Serial (RS-232) Commands Chapter 8 Serial (RS-232) Commands Overview The 7330 Controller has two serial port connectors on the rear panel of the controller labeled RS232-1 and RS232-2. Either port can be configured as the Console port, the port that you use to enter commands to the repeater controller and to perform firmware updates. Whichever port is not being used as the Console port can be used as the Auxiliary port. The 7330 Repeater firmware accepts commands on the Console port. This serial port has a dedicated command queue so that commands can be processed without being delayed by user commands from the DTMF decoders. Commands entered via the serial port have the same format as commands entered via DTMF. The Auxiliary port is currently unused. This chapter describes the uses of the Console port, the command formats, sending a text file of commands, managing files in your controller, and configuring the serial ports. 8-1 7330 Chapter 8 Using the Console Port The Console port has a number of different uses and sets of commands depending on what firmware is running in the 7330 Controller. By default, the 7330 Repeater firmware is controlling the radio equipment attached to the controller. Other firmware installed in the controller, called SBOOT, allows you to manage the files stored in the flash memory of the controller. When power is first applied to the controller, the firmware outputs the following message on the Console port: S-COM 7330 Repeater V3.3 This message tells you what firmware is running and it’s version.

All rights reserved. Published 1952. Second Edition 1963. First Phoenix Impression 1963. Printed in the United States of America oi.uchicago.edu PREFACE HE book contains twelve chapters, but it can be broken up structurally into five parts. First, the place of writing among the various systems of human inter­ communication is discussed. This is followed by four Tchapters devoted to the descriptive and comparative treatment of the various types of writing in the world. The sixth chapter deals with the evolution of writing from the earliest stages of picture writing to a full alphabet. The next four chapters deal with general problems, such as the future of writing and the relationship of writing to speech, art, and religion. Of the two final chapters, one contains the first attempt to establish a full terminology of writing, the other an extensive bibliography. The aim of this study is to lay a foundation for a new science of writing which might be called grammatology. While the general histories of writing treat individual writings mainly from a descriptive-historical point of view, the new science attempts to establish general principles governing the use and evolution of writing on a comparative-typological basis.
