  • Using Smartphone Technology to Simulate Human Behaviour Within an Indoor Environment
    Department of Computer Science BSc (Hons) Computer Science (Software Engineering) Academic Year 2016 - 2017 Using Smartphone technology to simulate human behaviour within an indoor environment Michael Beaseley 1407118 A report submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Science Brunel University Department of Computer Science Uxbridge Middlesex UB8 3PH United Kingdom T: +44 1895 203397 F: +44 (0) 1895 251686 Using Smartphone technology to simulate human behaviour within an indoor environment Abstract The purpose of this project is to research, investigate and design software application, on android, to develop an application that enables a user to track and monitor their behaviour within an indoor environment. Apart from tracking of an individual, there will be research into other smartphone technologies, such as NFC and Bluetooth. GPS is a great way for tracking an individual outdoors but not very good for indoor navigation. There are multiple examples of software application for business, especially within healthcare, but there is a real need for an android application for the public to use for indoor navigation within a complex building. These example software applications used within business are used for assert tracking and staff locating. The approach use for this project will be the waterfall model. This model will be used as a mechanism to facilitate the development of an indoor navigation android application. By using this model, an android application will be developed. In this project, the author will show you why this model will help in developing this application. The author will also evaluate the approach made and the result of the project to discover with the aim and objectives have been met at the end of the day.

  • John's List of Tech Theater Terms
    Department of THEATER & DANCE Office of the TECHNICAL DIRECTOR Tech Theater Terms file last updated: 7.29.2010 (JDE) All information contained in this document is original material copyright © 2005 by John D. Ervin and is intended for the use of my students. Please contact me at [email protected] for permission to use this material in any other way. This is a work-in-progress and will be occasionally appended. Apron – The portion of the stage or playing space that is downstage of the proscenium arch. In traditional proscenium-style theaters, acting on the apron was a big “no-no” because it violated the stage picture being created by the proscenium arch. Thus many older theaters have very shallow aprons. Nowadays though, Directors can’t get enough of having their actors as close to the audience as possible; despite how uncomfortable it makes some audience members. This is all done under the umbrella of ‘intimacy’ and we all know how much artists love that stuff. Sometimes the apron is referred to as the “Forestage”. (See Figure 1 and 2) Arbor – Part of a fly system. A device mounted in one of the wings, which is connected to the lift lines at the opposite end from the batten. Stage weights are stacked on the arbor to balance the load suspended from the batten. In the case of a counterweight fly system, a rope hand line is connected to the top of the arbor, passes sequentially through the head block and tension block, and is terminated to the bottom of the arbor, forming a loop.

  • Leveraging Open Source Software
    1 Leveraging Open Source Software (Text of talk delivered by Justice Yatindra Singh Judge Allahabad High Court at the 9th e- Governance conference on 3rd February 2006 at Kochi, Kerala) FUD is an abbreviation of fear, uncertainty and doubt; it is often a salesman's strategy: spreading false rumours regarding others' products. Open source software (OSS) is its victim. In our country FUD for OSS arises out of ignorance. I am glad that, we are discussing OSS as it has crucial role to play in the IT world. WHAT IS OSS? A computer programme consists of two parts: Source Code and Object Code. Nowadays, computer programmes are written in high level computer languages using compact English words. This part is known as source code. These languages also have a programme called compiler and with their help, source code is compiled into machine language so that computers may understand it. When it is so done, it is called object code or machine code. Description―if it complies with certain conditions―is protected as a Copyright. Source code is a kind of description and can be protected as copyright provided it is published or disclosed. In the proprietery software, source code is generally not disclosed and in such a situation it is protected as a trade secret or undisclosed information. There was a debate whether object code is protected as a copyright or not but after TRIPS, it has to be protected as a copyright and now object code is so protected. Everyone is not using copyrights to have rights in computer programme.

This document combines knowledge and experience from Google, HTC VIVE, Facebook and Oculus, Samsung, and Sony Interactive Entertainment, to create a collective XRA development primer for XR developers across the industry. This document does not express the singular viewpoints of any member company, but rather aims to represent a primer and some application guidelines learned from the nascent days of XR. Example images are from a best practices educational application being developed by the design team at Google. Representatives from these member companies have worked together to share what they have learned to date during the development of their respective platforms and to collaborate on a common set of focus areas for development in the XR industry. It is our hope that this guide will improve applications across all our respective platforms, as well as for the global community of XR users.

  • Delamping in Most of Our Classroom Light Fixtures, There Are One to Four Individual Fluorescent Lamps
    Delamping In most of our classroom light fixtures, there are one to four individual fluorescent lamps. Depending on the types of fixtures, you can remove one of the lamps while keeping the others in. Which one to take out simply depends on which appears best to you. On the newer, skinnier (T-8) lamps, the manufacturer recommends that no more than one lamp be removed from the fixture. Delamping is a simple way to reduce foot-candles of light intensity in an area. In the lighting industry, foot-candles are a common unit of measurement used to calculate adequate lighting levels of workspaces in buildings or outdoor spaces. Of course, you can also remove all the lamps in a fixture if the light is not needed at all. Some overhead light fixtures are also emergency lights that will stay on when the building loses power. The emergency light fixtures should not be deplamped. Delamping should done by qualified staff only. Keep in mind these rules for delamping: Do not compromise health, safety, or security. Do not take lamps out of new fixtures that are still covered under warranty. Do consider the needs of the building occupants. With T-8 systems, do not remove more than one lamp per fixture. Maintain recommended minimum light levels. Refer to the chart on the next page. Where would you delamp a light fixture? Delamping is possible anywhere there is a fluorescent light fixture above an area that is not being used for active reading and writing or in areas where there is more light than needed.
