  • The Future of Human-Computer Interaction: Overview of Input Devices
    The future of human-computer interaction: overview of input devices Fabrizio Fornari School of Computer Science H´ask´olinn´ıReykjav´ık- Reykjav´ıkUniversity Reykjav´ık,Iceland November, 2012 Abstract We are in 2012 and we are still using the mouse and the keyboard to interact with a computer. We have seen a lot of changes in the world of Computer Science, relating to: performance, design and the way we interact with the computer. Differ- ent input devices have been developed around the computer, starting from the most recent touchscreens, continuing with webcams, microphones, and arriving to the oldest mice and keyboards. The aim of this research is to let the reader imagine a new way to interact with the computer. To reach our purpose, we introduce advanced technologies such as: Speech and Voice Recognition, Electronic Perception, Eye Tracking and Brain Computer In- terfaces. We propose examples of the cited technologies that may change the paradigm that saw, until now, keyboard and mouse as leaders of the input devices. 1 1 Introduction From the computer's birth1, we saw a lot of changes in the world of Com- puter Science. Changes relating to: performance, design and human-computer interaction [49]. A few years ago, the words \input device" evoked in our mind only two specific objects: the keyboard and the mouse - the main instruments used to provide data to a personal computer. Keyboard and mouse are, in fact, two of the first input devices in the history of computer. Nowadays, with the evolution of computers, we have a large set of input de- vices that changed the way we interact with the computer.

  • How to Configure Radios for Use with Repeaters
    Concept of How to Configure Your Handheld and Mobile Radio for Use on a Repeater System VA6RPL Peter LaGrandeur Calgary Amateur Radio Association 2015 Learning Conference Limitations of “Standalone” Radios such as Handhelds and Vehicle Mounted Mobiles. Short Range of Coverage Signal easily blocked by major obstacles such as mountains, valleys, urban infrastructure What is a “Repeater” Radio? A repeater is basically a two way radio that receives a signal on one frequency, and simultaneously retransmits it on another frequency. It can retransmit with much greater power than received, and can send over a much wider area. A good example is where users are scattered in various areas separated by mountains; if a repeater is situated on top of a central mountain, it can gather signals from surrounding valleys, and rebroadcast them to all surrounding valleys. Handy! From there, repeater stations can be “linked” together to connect a series of repeater radios, each in a different area. With this, every time a user transmits on his mobile or handheld, his call will be heard simultaneously over all the repeater transmitters. And, yes! Repeater stations can now be connected via the internet. This internet linking is called IRLP – Internet Relay Linking Project. For example, a repeater in Calgary can link, via the internet, with an IRLP repeater anywhere in the world. You can carry on a two way radio conversation with someone in a faraway land with the assistance of the internet. Locating of Repeater Stations The higher the better. Yes, there are even satellite repeaters for amateur radio. In places that afford the best coverage in as many directions as possible.

  • Vfr Communications for Idiots
    VFR COMMUNICATIONS FOR IDIOTS A CRANIUM RECTUM EXTRACTUS PUBLICATION INTRODUCTION The crowded nature of today’s aviation environment and the affordability of VHF transceivers for general aviation aircraft have caused the development of two-way radio communication skills to be included in a modern flight instruction curriculum. While radio communication is not required at uncontrolled airports, safety is greatly enhanced by the use of proper radio technique. Moreover, the inclusion of more and more airspace under the positive control of Air Traffic Control (ATC), inside which two-way radio communication is mandatory, has made mastery of radio skills necessary if general aviation aircraft are to be fully utilized. This article has been written to introduce the primary pilot to current radio communication techniques by using familiar examples and by avoiding confusing technobabble. Please remember that the phraseology and techniques presented here are not carved in stone! Fashions in radio communications have changed in the past, and they will certainly change in the future to satisfy the requirements of an evolving aviation environment. These recommendations should provide a starting point that will allow each pilot to develop an individual style within a framework of efficient communications. RADIO TECHNIQUE 1. Make sure the radio is audible. Place the radio power switch in the TEST position or turn down the squelch until static can be heard. Turn up the volume to the desired level, then return the poser switch to ON or turn up the squelch until the static is eliminated. Don’t miss critical radio calls just because the volume is too low.

  • Article a Look at S&T Awareness
    SISSA – International School for Advanced Studies Journal of Science Communication ISSN 1824 – 2049 http://jcom.sissa.it/ Article A look at S&T Awareness - Enhancements in India Chandra Mohan Nautiyal Basing mainly on author's direct involvement in some science communication efforts in India, and other reports, this contribution depicts and analyses the present science communication/ popularization scenario in India. It tries to dispel a myth that rural people don't require or don’t crave for S&T information. It discusses need for science and technology communication, sustaining curiosity and creating role models. Citing cases of some natural, 'unnatural' and organized events, it recounts how S&T popularization efforts have fared during the past decade and a half. It's made possible using print, AV and interactive media which, at times, require lot of financial inputs. However, this contribution shows that a number of natural and other phenomena can be used to convince people about power of S&T and in molding their attitude. The cases cited may be from India, but, with a little variation, are true for most of the developing and under- developed societies. 1. Introduction Considering that nearly half of the Indian population is engaged in agriculture but contributes only about one fifth to the GDP, indicates a malaise and calls for more scientific and methodical approach in the farming sector. A change is needed not only in the information base but also the attitude. Therefore, there is a need to examine the role of Science and Technology (S&T) in their lives and ways to improve the level.

    Citizens’ Band Radio equipment– information and operation Citizens’ Band (CB) radio spectrum use – information and operation Of 364 Guidance Publication date: March 2018 Citizens’ Band Radio equipment– information and operation Contents Section Page 1 Regulatory and equipment information 1 2 Frequently asked questions 5 3 CB operating practice 8 Citizens’ Band Radio equipment– information and operation Section 1 Regulatory and equipment information Citizens’ Band (‘CB’) radio 1.1 Citizens’ Band (‘CB’) radio operates in the 27 MHz band. It is a short-range radio service for both hobby and business use. It is designed to be used without the need for technical qualifications. However, its use must not cause interference to other radio users. Consequently, only radios meeting certain specific requirements may be used. These are described below. How Ofcom authorises the use of CB radio 1.2 Ofcom seeks to reduce regulation, where possible. In 2006, we therefore made exemption regulations1, removing the need for a person to hold a licence to operate CB radio equipment using Angle Modulation (FM/PM). 1.3 In 2014, Ofcom made further exemption regulations2, which permitted the operation of CB radio equipment using two additional modes of Amplitude Modulation (AM) - Double Side Band (DSB) and Single Side Band (SSB). This followed an international agreement3 made in 2011.”. 1.4 CB users share spectrum in a frequency band used by the Ministry of Defence (MOD). CB users must therefore accept incoming interference caused by use of this spectrum by the MOD. 1.5 CB radio equipment must be operated on a 'non-interference’ basis.

  • Recommendation ITU-R V.573-4
    Rec. ITU-R V.573-5 1 RECOMMENDATION ITU-R V.573-5* Radiocommunication vocabulary (1978-1982-1986-1990-2000-2007) Scope This Recommendation provides the main vocabulary reference, giving synonymous terms in three languages and the associated definitions. It includes terms given in Article 1 of the Radio Regulations (RR) and extends the list to technical terms defined in texts of the ITU-R. The ITU Radiocommunication Assembly, considering a) that Article 1 of the Radio Regulations (RR) contains the definitions of terms for regulatory purposes; b) that the Radiocommunication Study Groups have a need to establish new and amended definitions for technical terms that do not appear in RR Article 1 or that are so defined as to be unsuitable for Radiocommunication Study Group purposes; c) that it would be desirable for some of these terms and definitions established by the Radiocommunication Study Groups to be more widely used within the ITU-R, recommends that the terms listed in RR Article 1 and in Annex 1 below should be used as far as possible with the meaning ascribed to them in the corresponding definition. NOTE 1 – Study Groups are invited, where there is a difficulty in using any of the terms with the meaning given in the corresponding definition, to forward to the Coordination Committee for Vocabulary (CCV) a proposal for revision or alternative application, accompanied by substantiating argument. NOTE 2 – A number of terms in this Recommendation appear also in RR Article 1 with a different definition. These terms are identified by (RR . ., MOD) or (RR . .(MOD)) if the modifications consist only of editorial changes.
