This document does not attempt to explain the features of the .NET Framework, except in terms of their APL interfaces. For information concerning the .NET Frame- work, see the documentation, articles and help files, which are available from Microsoft and other sources. The .NET interface features include: l The ability to create and use objects that are instances of .NET Classes l The ability to define new .NET Classes in Dyalog APL that can then be used from other .NET languages such as C# and VB.NET. l The ability to write Web Services in Dyalog APL. l The ability to write ASP.NET web pages in Dyalog APL Chapter 1: Overview 2 .NET Classes The .NET Framework defines a so-called Common Type System. This provides a set of data types, permitted values, and permitted operations. All cooperating languages are supposed to use these types so that operations and values can be checked (by the Common Language Runtime) at run time. The .NET Framework provides its own built-in class library that provides all the primitive data types, together with higher- level classes that perform useful operations. Dyalog APL allows you to create and use instances of .NET Classes, thereby gaining access to a huge amount of component technology that is provided by the .NET Framework. It is also possible to create Class Libraries (Assemblies) in Dyalog APL. This allows you to export APL technology packaged as .NET Classes, which can then be used from other .NET programming languages such as C# and Visual Basic. The ability to create and use classes in Dyalog APL also provides you with the pos- sibility to design APL applications built in terms of APL (and non-APL) com- ponents. Such an approach can provide benefits in terms of reliability, software management and re-usage, and maintenance. GUI Programming with System.Windows.Forms One of the most important .NET class libraries is called System.Windows.Forms, which is designed to support traditional Windows GUI programming. Visual Studio .NET, which is used to develop GUI applications in Visual Basic and C#, produces code that uses System.Windows.Forms. Dyalog APL allows you to use System.Windows.Forms, instead of (and in some cases, in conjunction with) the built-in Dyalog APL GUI objects such as the Dyalog APL Grid, to program the Graphical User Interface. Web Services Web Services are programmable components that can be called by different applic- ations. Web Services have the same goal as COM, but are technically platform inde- pendent and use HTTP as the communications protocol with an application. A Web Service can be used either internally by a single application or exposed externally over the Internet for use by any number of applications. Chapter 1: Overview 3 ASP.NET and WebForms ASP.NET is a new version of Microsoft Active Server Page technology that makes it easier to develop and deploy dynamic Web applications. To supplement ASP.NET, there are some important new .NET class libraries, including WebForms which allow you to build browser-based user interfaces using the same object-oriented mechanism as you use Windows.Forms for the Windows GUI. The use of these component lib- raries replaces basic HTML programming. ASP.NET pages are server-side scripts, that are usually written in C# or Visual Basic. However, you can also employ Dyalog APL directly as a scripting language (APLScript) to write ASP.NET web pages. In addition, you can call Dyalog APL workspaces directly from ASP.NET pages, and write custom server-side controls that can be incorporated into ASP.NET pages. These features give you a wide range of possibilities for using Dyalog APL to build browser-based applications for the Internet, or for your corporate Intranet. Prerequisites Dyalog APL Version 14.1 .NET Interface requires Version 2.x or greater of the Microsoft .NET Framework. It does not operate with .NET Version 1.0. For Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) and basic Data Binding, Version 14.1 requires .NET Version 4.0. For full Data Binding support (including support for the INotifyCollectionChanged interface1), and Syncfusion, Version 14.1 requires .NET Version 4.5. 1This interface is used by Dyalog to notify a data consumer when the contents of a variable, that is data bound as a list of items, changes. Chapter 1: Overview 4 Files Installed with Dyalog NET Interface Components The components used to support the .NET interface are summarised below. Different versions of each component are supplied according to the target platform. There are: l developer/debug and runtime versions l 32-bit and 64-bit versions l Classic and Unicode Edition versions For a list of these different versions and their corresponding file names, See User Guide, Chapter 1. l The Bridge DLL. This is the interface library through which all calls between Dyalog APL and the .NET Framework are processed l The DyalogProvider DLL. This DLL performs the initial processing of an APLScript. l The APLScript Compiler. This is itself written in Dyalog APL and packaged as an executable. l The DyalogNet DLL; a subsidiary library l The Dyalog DLL. This is the engine that executes all APL code that is hos- ted by and called from another .NET application. l The dyalogdata4.5.dll provides advanced support for Data Binding and Syncfusion. In particular it provides the INotifyCollectionChanged interface which is required to support data binding of collections and lists. This DLL requires .NET Version 4.5 and is not used unless .NET 4.5 is enabled. Code Samples The samples subdirectory contains several sub-directories relating to the .NET interface: l aplclasses; a sub-directory that contains examples of .NET classes writ- ten in APL. l aplscript; a sub-directory that contains APLScript examples. l asp.net; a sub-directory that is mapped to the IIS Virtual Directory dyalog.net, and contains various sample APL Web applications. l winforms; a sub-directory that contains sample applications that use the System.Windows.Forms GUI classses. Chapter 1: Overview 5 Configuring the .NET Framework If you have more than one version of the .NET Framework installed, you may select which version APL uses from the .NET Framework tab of the Configuration dialog. Chapter 1: Overview 6 This dialog box allows you to specify which version of the .NET Framework you want to use with Dyalog APL.

  • A Chinese Mobile Phone Input Method Based on the Dynamic and Self-Study Language Model
    A Chinese Mobile Phone Input Method Based on the Dynamic and Self-study Language Model Zhu Qiaoming, Li Peifeng, Gu Ping, Qian Peide School of Computer Science & Technology of Soochow University,Suzhou,215006 {qmzhu, pfli, pgu ,pdqian}@suda.edu.cn Abstract. This paper birefly introduces a Chinese digital input method named as CKCDIM (CKC Digital Input Method) and then applies it to the Symbian OS as an example, and it also proposes a framework of input method which adopted the Client/Server architecture for the handheld computers. To improve the performance of CKCDIM, this paper puts forward a dynamic and self-study language model which based on a general language model and user language model, and proposes two indexes which are the average number of pressed-keys (ANPK) and the hit rate of first characters (HRFC) to measure the performance of the input method. Meanwhile, this paper brings forward a modified Church-Gale smoothing method to reduce the size of general language model to meet the need of mobile phone. At last, the experiments prove that the dynamic and self-study language model is a steady model and can improve the performance of CKCDIM. Key Words: Chinese Digital Input Method, Architecture of Input Method, Dynamic and Self-study Language Model, HRFC, ANPK 1 Introduction With the developing of communication technology and the popularization of the mobile phone in China, the use of text message in mobile phone is growing rapidly. According to CCTV financial news report, the total number of Short Message Service use will grow from 300 billions in 2005 to 450 billions in 2006 in China.

The research presented here will focus entirely on the development of the Augmented Reality (AR) is an emerging technology that could application and the novel techniques used to mitigate the limitations greatly increase training efficiency and effectiveness for assembly of the HoloLens. This application was also used to conduct a user processes. In fact, studies show that AR may reduce time and study comparing the effectiveness of work instructions delivered via errors by as much as 50%. While many devices are available to an AR HMD, AR tablet, tablet model-based instructions and display AR content, the use of Head Mounted Displays (HMDs) is desktop model-based instructions [2]. The results of this study are the most interesting for manufacturing and assembly as they free presented in a separate paper. For the study, due to all the custom up the user’s hands. Due to the emerging nature of this technology, enhancements made to the HMD system, it was necessary to there are many limitations including input, field of view, tracking validate that work instructions and other parts of the system were and occlusion. The work presented in this paper explores the use of functioning together properly. To accomplish this, a separate data the Microsoft HoloLens to deliver AR work instructions for visualization application was developed.

    A RE-CONFIGURABLE HARDWARE-IN-THE-LOOP FLIGHT SIMULATOR A thesis presented to the faculty of the Russ College of Engineering and Technology of Ohio University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Master of Science Eric Root June 2004 This Thesis Entitled A RE-CONFIGURABLE HARDWARE-IN-THE-LOOP FLIGHT SIMULATOR BY ERIC ROOT has been approved for the School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science and the Russ College of Engineering and Technology by Maarten Uijt de Haag Assistant Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science R. Dennis Irwin Dean, Russ College of Engineering and Technology ROOT, ERIC. M.S. June 2004. EECS A Re-Configurable Hardware-in-the-Loop Flight Simulator (70pp) Director of Thesis: Maarten Uijt de Haag This thesis describes the development of a fixed base flight simulator capable of hardware-in-the-loop testing of aviation electronics, or “avionics”. The system is composed of a pilot controlled 6 degree-of-freedom aircraft model, a flight display, and a hardware interface to an ARINC 429 avionics databus. Avionics can be connected to this databus for testing. These systems are combined in a modular fashion allowing easy re- configuration for use with various aircraft models, and testing of avionics using databuses other than ARINC 429. This modular design is achieved by using an aircraft model constructed in Matlab’s Simulink, and by relaying the model data to the display and ARINC 429 interface using the UDP network protocol. Approved: Maarten Uijt de Haag Assistant Professor of EECS Acknowledgments I would like to thank Dr.
