  • Blind Spot Warning Interface Adapted to Older Drivers with Early Stage Visual Impairment
    BLIND SPOT WARNING INTERFACE ADAPTED TO OLDER DRIVERS WITH EARLY STAGE VISUAL IMPAIRMENT Julien Adrian Streetlab, Institut de la Vision France Julie Pieyre Streetlab, Institut de la Vision France Johan Lebrun Streetlab, Institut de la Vision France Saddek Mohand-Said CHNO Quinze-Vingts, CIC Inserm France Emmanuel Gutman Streetlab, Institut de la Vision France Paper Number 17-0190 ABSTRACT Research Question/Objective Advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) are found increasingly commonly in modern day cars. These systems should have their interfaces adapted to the target population to be completely effective and help prevent accidents. Our study is focused on the improvement in interface design of Blind Spot Warnings (BSWs). This ADAS is particularly relevant to issues with older driver’s physical limitations, errors with blind-spot checking and accident characteristics. However, the standard blind spot detection interface is often designed without taking into account age related visual impairment. Methods and Data Sources A BSWs interface adapted to major visual impairment was developed and studied. A driving simulator study was conducted, in which 14 participants aged from 62 to 76 took part, to compare our BSWs interface with a conventional BSWs interface. Participants performed two series of lane change tasks, with potential side collision scenarios, for each interface. Both subjective and objective data (oculometry, vehicle parameters) were collected. Results The results show that driving performance and comfort are enhanced by our dedicated interface. Drivers spend more time concentrating on the road with fewer fixations on the interface. It helps the driver keep their vision on the road by providing information in their peripheral vision.

Abstract A new application of laser shadowgraphy in automotive design and driver’s ergonomics investigation is described. The technique is based on generating a characterizing plot for the vehicle’s Field of View (FOV). This plot is obtained by projecting a high divergence laser beam from the driver’s eyes cyclopean point, on a cylindrical screen installed around the tested vehicle. The resultant shadow-gram is photographed on several shots by a narrow field camera to form a complete panoramic seen for the screen. The panorama is then printed as a plane sheet FOV plot. The obtained plot is used to measure and to analyse the areal visual field, the eye and nick movement ranges in correlation with FOV, the horizontal visual blind zones, the visual maximum vertical angle and other related ergonomic parameters.

  • Here's an Overview of the Tips on Breaking in a New Car from Our Experts at Bmw.Com on Things to Do Before Your First Drive I
    HERE’S AN OVERVIEW OF THE TIPS ON BREAKING IN A NEW CAR FROM OUR EXPERTS AT BMW.COM ON THINGS TO DO BEFORE YOUR FIRST DRIVE IN YOUR NEW AUTOMOBILE: Things you need to know about your new car: Service: Where do I top up the fuel, engine oil, wiper fluid, engine coolant, and AdBlue? Where can I find the owner’s manual? Where can I find the spare wheel, breakdown kit, and vehicle toolkit? And where do I look for details about the tire pressure? Safety: What driver assistance systems are available and where can I find the buttons to use them? The best way to set up your new car: Connect your cell phone and save it in the system. Save your home address in the navigation system. Enter your preferred climate control settings. Configure the driver assistance systems to suit your personal needs. To ensure the optimum seat position: Set the distance from the seat to the pedals so that when you step on the brake or clutch, your knees are slightly bent. Select a seat height that gives you a good view of the road and the on-board instruments. Ensure that the backrest is as upright as possible. Make sure your head is not far from the headrest, your shoulders are in contact with the backrest, and you don’t need to stretch out your arms. It’s important that there’s a distance of about 12 inches between the steering wheel and your chest. When your wrist is on the upper rim of the steering wheel, your shoulders should still be touching the backrest.

  • 1 Jess Rudolph Shogi
    Jess Rudolph Shogi – the Chess of Japan Its History and Variants When chess was first invented in India by the end of the sixth century of the current era, probably no one knew just how popular or wide spread the game would become. Only a short time into the second millennium – if not earlier – chess was being played as far as the most distant lands of the known world – the Atlantic coast of Europe and Japan. All though virtually no contact existed for centuries to come between these lands, people from both cultures were playing a game that was very similar; in Europe it was to become the chess most westerners know today and in Japan it was shogi – the Generals Game. Though shogi has many things in common with many other chess variants, those elements are not always clear because of the many differences it also has. Sadly, how the changes came about is not well known since much of the early history of shogi has been lost. In some ways the game is more similar to the Indian chaturanga than its neighboring cousin in China – xiangqi. In other ways, it’s closer to xiangqi than to any other game. In even other ways it has similarities to the Thai chess of makruk. Most likely it has elements from all these lands. It is generally believed that chess came to Japan from China through the trade routs in Korea in more than one wave, the earliest being by the end of tenth century, possibly as early as the eighth.

  • ID-83-11 Industrial Policy: Case Studies in the Japanese Experience
    BY THE US, GENERAL ACCOUNTING OFFICE Report To The Chairman, Joint Economic Committee, United States Congress Industrial Policy: Case Studiesjn The I Japanese Experience i’ ’ Within a larger framework of monetary and fiscal policies, Japan has adopted a number of industry-specific policies to achieve its economic goals. GAO reviewed Japan’s industrial policies during the post-war period in the computer, aircraft, robotics, textile, and shipbuilding industries. Al- though there have been basic underlying consistencies in Japanese policies, there has also been enough flexibility lo effec- tively respond to the economic changes which have occurred during the last 30 years. This report is a companion volume to “Industrial Policy: Japan’s Flexible Ap- proach” (GAO/ID-82-32). QAO/ID-83-11 ’ OCTOBER X41982 UNITEO STATES GENERAL ACC~UN-~INGOFFICE WASH1NGTON, D.C. 20548 INTRINATIONAL DlVlSION B-209015 The Honorable Henry Reuss Chairman, Joint Economic Committee Congress of the United States Dear. Mr. Chairman: This report is a companion volume to our June 23, 1982, report "Industrial Policy: Japan's Flexible Approach" (GAO/ID-82-32) and contains case studies which explain in detail the assistance provided by the Japanese Govern- ment to five key industries. As you requested, our case studies include three high technology growth industries-- computers, aircraft and robotics --and two industries faced with unfavorable world market prospects--shipbuilding and textiles. Japan in the postwar period adopted economic policies that fostered economic growth. These policies were imple- mented with a mix of macro-level monetary and fiscal policies and micro-level industrial policies. Monetary and fiscal policies promoted investment by keeping interest rates low and holding government spending to a consistent share of na- tional income.

A given ISA may be implemented with different microarchitectures.[1] Implementations might vary due to different goals of a given design or due to shifts in technology.[2] Computer architecture is the combination of microarchitecture and instruction set design. Relation to instruction set architecture The ISA is roughly the same as the programming model of a processor as seen by an assembly language programmer or compiler writer. The ISA includes the execution model, processor registers, address and data formats among other things. The Intel Core microarchitecture microarchitecture includes the constituent parts of the processor and how these interconnect and interoperate to implement the ISA. The microarchitecture of a machine is usually represented as (more or less detailed) diagrams that describe the interconnections of the various microarchitectural elements of the machine, which may be everything from single gates and registers, to complete arithmetic logic units (ALU)s and even larger elements.
