It is a process with many cascading effects; a change in one facet of a design often has effects that ripple throughout the rest of the process. It is also a difficult process, one that requires the close cooperation of people from a variety of different backgrounds and training. Creating designs digitally has allowed engineers and designers to harness the processing power of computers to help them create, manipulate, update, and distribute designs faster and more efficiently than traditional, paper-based process. Today's designers and engineers rely on Computer Aided Drawing (CAD) programs to help them finish a design efficiently and accurately, reducing cost and increasing productivity in the midst of increasing competition. CAD programs have been in development for almost forty years. In the beginning, CAD was synonymous with the electronic creation and storage of 2D drawings, a replacement for the traditional draftsmen's table. Though CAD has evolved over the ensuing years to a primarily 3D tool, its 2D roots are clearly evident in the user interface. The creation of 2D drawings maps naturally to the interfaces provided by 2D desktop computers, but as the role of CAD programs has become increasingly three dimensional, the 2D analogy is extended beyond the breaking point. Unlike 2D drawing, the desktop metaphor does not provide an intuitive mechanism for the creation and manipulation of 3D objects. In order to adapt the 2D desktop to create and manage 3D objects, new interface methodologies and special purpose widgets were invented to map 2D actions into 3D, mappings that require significant training for users and increase their cognitive load. Collaborative work has become an increasingly crucial aspect of engineering design, as teams grow larger and more diverse, spread across different locations, ever around the world. This increasing emphasis on collaboration requires new tools to facilitate design v reviews among team members with differing backgrounds. The diversity of training requires that these new collaborative tools be transparent, with little or no learning curve required of their casual users. Consider the members of a modem design team as they meet to determine if there is a conflict between two mechanical parts that join together as part of a design. In this typical design review scenario, with today's tools, a group of several users might find themselves crowded together in front of a computer desktop, while a designated, trained operator runs the CAD system to show the group the design of the mating parts. The complexity of the CAD system's interface forms a barrier to the design, preventing the active participation of the team members. Communication is bottlenecked by the operator, restricting the flow of ideas. The goal of the research presented in this thesis is to consider an alternative to 2D desktop based interfaces for design review, an alternative that reduce the users' cognitive load while selecting and manipulating 3D objects during the design review process. In this thesis, we identify three specific interaction challenges common to design reviews: 3D browsing, 3D positioning/orientation, and 3D assembly/disassembly. We then describe a new set of Augmented Tangible Interfaces (ATI) designed to more naturally support these three tasks. A TI uses augmented reality techniques to allow a computer to recognize a set of tangible objects and generate virtual graphics

  • Dealing with Document Size Limits
    Dealing with Document Size Limits Introduction The Electronic Case Filing system will not accept PDF documents larger than ten megabytes (MB). If the document size is less than 10 MB, it can be filed electronically just as it is. If it is larger than 10 MB, it will need to be divided into two or more documents, with each document being less than 10 MB. Word Processing Documents Documents created with a word processing program (such as WordPerfect or Microsoft Word) and correctly converted to PDF will generally be smaller than a scanned document. Because of variances in software, usage, and content, it is difficult to estimate the number of pages that would constitute 10 MB. (Note: See “Verifying File Size” below and for larger documents, see “Splitting PDF Documents into Multiple Documents” below.) Scanned Documents Although the judges’ Filing Preferences indicate a preference for conversion of documents rather than scanning, it will be necessary to scan some documents for filing, e.g., evidentiary attachments must be scanned. Here are some things to remember: • Documents scanned to PDF are generally much larger than those converted through a word processor. • While embedded fonts may be necessary for special situations, e.g., trademark, they will increase the file size. • If graphs or color photos are included, just a few pages can easily exceed the 10 MB limit. Here are some guidelines: • The court’s standard scanner resolution is 300 dots per inch (DPI). Avoid using higher resolutions as this will create much larger file sizes. • Normally, the output should be set to black and white.

  • Visual Validation of SSL Certificates in the Mozilla Browser Using Hash Images
    CS Senior Honors Thesis: Visual Validation of SSL Certificates in the Mozilla Browser using Hash Images Hongxian Evelyn Tay [email protected] School of Computer Science Carnegie Mellon University Advisor: Professor Adrian Perrig Electrical & Computer Engineering Engineering & Public Policy School of Computer Science Carnegie Mellon University Monday, May 03, 2004 Abstract Many internet transactions nowadays require some form of authentication from the server for security purposes. Most browsers are presented with a certificate coming from the other end of the connection, which is then validated against root certificates installed in the browser, thus establishing the server identity in a secure connection. However, an adversary can install his own root certificate in the browser and fool the client into thinking that he is connected to the correct server. Unless the client checks the certificate public key or fingerprint, he would never know if he is connected to a malicious server. These alphanumeric strings are hard to read and verify against, so most people do not take extra precautions to check. My thesis is to implement an additional process in server authentication on a browser, using human recognizable images. The process, Hash Visualization, produces unique images that are easily distinguishable and validated. Using a hash algorithm, a unique image is generated using the fingerprint of the certificate. Images are easily recognizable and the user can identify the unique image normally seen during a secure AND accurate connection. By making a visual comparison, the origin of the root certificate is known. 1. Introduction: The Problem 1.1 SSL Security The SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) Protocol has improved the state of web security in many Internet transactions, but its complexity and neglect of human factors has exposed several loopholes in security systems that use it.
