I begin by 12 explaining what distinguishes computers from calculators. Then, I offer a 13 systematic taxonomy of kinds of computer, including hard-wired versus 14 programmable, general-purpose versus special-purpose, analog versus digital, and serial versus parallel, giving explicit criteria for each kind. 15 My account is mechanistic: which class a system belongs in, and which 16 functions are computable by which system, depends on the system’s 17 mechanistic properties. Finally, I briefly illustrate how my account sheds 18 light on some issues in the history and philosophy of computing as well 19 as the philosophy of mind. What exactly is a digital computer? (Searle, 1992, p. 205) 20 21 22 23 In our everyday life, we distinguish between things that compute, such as 24 pocket calculators, and things that don’t, such as bicycles. We also distinguish 25 between different kinds of computing device. Some devices, such as abaci, 26 have parts that need to be moved by hand. They may be called computing 27 aids. Other devices contain internal mechanisms that, once started, produce 28 a result without further external intervention.

Mysugr Bolus Calculator User Manual
mySugr Bolus Calculator User Manual Version: 3.0.8_Android - 2021-06-02 1 Indications for use 1.1 Intended use The mySugr Bolus Calculator, as a function of the mySugr Logbook app, is intended for the management of insulin dependent diabetes by calculating a bolus insulin dose or carbohydrate intake based on therapy data of the patient. Before its use, the intended user performs a setup using patient-specific target blood glucose, carbohydrate to insulin ratio, insulin correction factor and insulin acting time parameters provided by the responsible healthcare professional. For the calculation, in addition to the setup parameters, the algorithm uses current blood glucose values, planned carbohydrate intake and the active insulin which is calculated based on the insulin action curves of the respective insulin type. 1.2 Who is the mySugr Bolus Calculator for? The mySugr Bolus Calculator is designed for users: diagnosed with insulin dependent diabetes aged 18 years and above treated with short-acting human insulin or rapid-acting analog insulin undergoing intensified insulin therapy in the form of Multiple Daily Injections (MDI) or Continuous Subcutaneous Insulin Infusion (CSII) under guidance of a doctor or other healthcare professional who are physically and mentally able to independently manage their diabetes therapy able to proficiently use a smartphone 1.3 Environment for use As a mobile application, the mySugr Bolus Calculator can be used in any environment where the user would typically and safely use a smartphone. 2 Contraindications 2.1 Circumstances for bolus calculation The mySugr Bolus Calculator can not be used when: the user's blood glucose is below 20 mg/dL or 1.2 mmol/L the user's blood glucose is above 500 mg/dL or 27.7 mmol/L the time of the log entry containing input data for the calculation is older than 15 minutes 1 2.2 Insulin restrictions The mySugr Bolus Calculator may only be used with the insulins listed in the app settings and must especially not be used with either combination or long acting insulin.

Simple Hand-Held Calculating Unit to Aid the Visually Impaired with Voice Output
International Journal of Embedded systems and Applications(IJESA) Vol.5, No.3, September 2015 SIMPLE HAND-HELD CALCULATING UNIT TO AID THE VISUALLY IMPAIRED WITH VOICE OUTPUT ShreedeepGangopadhyay1,Molay Kumar Mondal1 and Arpita Pramanick1 1Department of Electronics & Communication Engineering, Techno India, Salt Lake, Kolkata ABSTRACT A thorough understanding in mathematics enhances educational and occupational opportunities for all, whether sighted or visually impaired.. However, solving complicated mathematical problems is difficult for visually challenged students in schools and universities as the calculators available in the markets with smooth input keys and LCD outputs are useless for them. Using the assistive technology which is basically a service or product to help people with disabilities function more independently has removed barriers to educate and employ people. An optimal solution for them is Braille calculator with audio output. In this paper, we have proposed a cost effective, hand-held, battery-driven, low power assistive device aiming the visually impaired people from low income settings. The input is given through a 4 by 4 Membrane keypad which has been Braille-embossed using indigenous methods. The output is announced in natural English by the audio unit via speakers and/or headphones up to two places of decimal point. The system is implemented on custom made open source Arduino platform, making it efficient and cost-effective. KEYWORDS Braille Keypad, calculator, Arduino, assistive technology, visually challenged. 1. INTRODUCTION “For most of us, technology makes things easier; however for a person with disabilities, it makes things possible”. Mathematics cultivates thinking and reasoning skills. It lays the foundation for systematic thinking through the numerical and spatial aspects of the objects.

Azm2 Calculator Guidance
Calculator Guidance The AzM2 calculator guidelines are designed to provide appropriate support for students while still measuring a student’s mastery of the standards. On tests where calculators are permitted, it is ideal for a student to use the recommended acceptable calculator. If the recommended calculator is not available, students may use a calculator with less functionality. The Desmos Scientific and Graphing calculators have been customized for AzM2 and are embedded in online tests that allow the use of a calculator. These guidelines are for the assessment only. They are not intended to limit instruction in the classroom. Technology is a part of the Arizona Mathematics Standards, and students should still be interacting with technology as appropriate for engaging with and learning the standards. Grades 3-6: No calculators permitted on AzM2. Grades 7-8: Scientific calculator permitted on AzM2 Math Part 1 only. No calculators permitted on AzM2 Math Part 2. Scientific calculator should include these functions: standard four functions (addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division), decimal, change sign (+/-), parentheses, square root, and π. They may NOT include: any problem solving or programming capabilities, place values, and inequalities. Sample acceptable calculator: TI-30X IIS or similar. Grade Graphing calculators permitted on AzM2 Math Part 1 and Part 2. 10: No calculators with Computer Algebra System (CAS) features are allowed. Calculators may NOT be capable of communication with other calculators through infrared sensors. NO instruction or formula cards, or other information regarding the operation of calculators such as operating manuals are permitted. The memory of any calculator with programming capability must be cleared, reset, or disabled when students enter and exit the testing room.
