New Eye Tracking Techniques Improve Realism Of Aircraft Simulators
.... was developed by a research team
headed by Professor Richard Frecker and Professor Moshe Eizenman. The work
was carried out in collaboration with CAE Electronics Ltd. of Montreal with
financial support from the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research
Council of Canada.
Their eye-tracker can record and analyze accurately up to 500 eye
positions per second. The system works by means of capturing and processing
the reflections of a low-level beam o f invisible infra-red light shone
onto the eye.

cause pain and suffering due to a worldwide depression? A scale that would
be twenty-times the size of the Great Depression during the 1920's.
Technology has so wondrously and destructively marveled the human
mind and body throughout the centuries. From out of the dark depths of the
mind have sprung explosive ideas, producing inventions that have
transformed minute villages into gigantic civilizations; stimulating
population increases throughout the world. Simple tasks such as the
automatic tra .....

Ultrasonic Radar For A Home PC System

to spare. Ultrasonic radar is now a small component for your computer,
giving computer operators a chance to see low flying objects, household
furniture, and even themselves on their PC screen. Just to impress a
neighbour or friend is reason enough to build your own ultrasonic radar
station.
Similar to that of a Polaroid, ultrasonic transducers are used in this
type of radar. A rangefinder emits a brief pulse of high frequency sound
that produces an echo when it hits an object. This echo .....

Computer Literacy

even know how to check his e-mail. A good computer class would teach the basics
of computers: typing a document in a word processor, running a specified program,
and using a modem to check e-mail and access the Internet.
Personal computers now have a tremendous entertainment value due to
their versatility. Not only can a computer do all the things that are unique to
computers, it can be a television and a radio as well. Computers have also
attracted millions of people with games galore. .....

Will Computers Control Humans In The Future?

someone else who knows" (Nine Tomorrows, Profession 55). People would not
chose to study, they would only want to be educated by computer tapes.
Putting in knowledge would take less time than reading books and memorizing
something that would take almost no time using a computer in the futuristic
world that Asimov describes. Humans might began to rely on computers and
allow them to control themselves by letting computers educate people.
Computers would start teaching humans wh .....

Computer Languages
.... C, or C++, you would have to type in much more
sophisticated lines of code that are much more confusing than the previous two.
The format and layout of the various languages are very diverse between
some, and between others are somewhat similar. When programming in Basic the
user has to type in line numbers before each new line of code. In an updated
version of Basic called QBasic, numbers are optional. Turbo pascal does not
allow the user to input numbers, it has preset commands that seperate each pa .....

The Bulgarian And Soviet Virus Factories
.... an article [KV89]], explaining why computer viruses
cannot be dangerous. The arguments presented were, in general, correct, but
the author had completely missed the fact that the majority of PC users are
not experienced programmers.
A few months later, in the fall of the same year, two men came in the
editor's office of the magazine and claimed that they have found a computer
virus. Careful examination showed that it was the VIENNA virus.
At that time the computer virus was a completely new idea for u .....

network packet header. This method consists of multiple workstation that
accesses a transmission medium called Multiple Access. Here the medium
listen until no signals are detected. This is known as Carrier Sense. After
checking to see if more than one signal is present they transmit. This is
called Collision Detection. When a collision occurs the station then has to
retransmit. The most important part of CSMA/CD access method is collision
detection. Workstation m .....

Computer Ergonomics In The Work Place

application of this body of knowledge to the design of tools, machines, systems,
tasks, jobs, and environments for safe, comfortable and effective human
use."(BCPE, 1993) In the average computer workstation, employees are prone to
over a dozen hazards. There exist two factors that can prevent this: forming
good work habits and ergonomically designed computer workstations. We will
discuss these preventions throughout the paper.
First, a few terms may need defining. R .....

Computer Aided Drafting And Design

machines which needed lots of human intervention to one program on a floppy
disk. When the power of computers increased, so did the possibilities of
CADD.
Images on CADD systems are drawn with the aid of a keyboard, mouse, or
tracking ball. One selects the starting point of a line, the ending point,
and the line is drawn. A scale at the bottom of the screen tells how long
the line will be. On some CADD systems, the computer itself can measure
how long the line will be whil .....

Bulletproof Vests
.... numerous layers of nylon fabric could dissipate
the energy of the bullet revolutionized the use of modern body armor.
The function of steel or hard plastic armor is to be impervious to
a bullet. The function of ceramic armor is to slow the bullet abruptly by
the hardness of the ceramic and to dissipate the bullet's energy as it
destroys the armor at the point of impact; the tiles or plates of ceramic
bulletproof vest thus have to be replaced once they have stopped a bullet.
The textile vest defor .....

Computer Crimes

Whether it be Ford Motor companies plan for the 1999 F-150 or spec sheets for
the military's new bomber it happens everyday. Too by left is a drawing that
illustrates the method that most Hackers use to take over your computer. Ever
since the dial-up connection was invented anyone with a modem had the ability to
wreck any one of thousands of computers.
One of the most talked about forms of computer crime is computer virus .....

Computer Crime

they where carious and wanted to explore the system. All they want to do is
exploit systems not destroy it. It is purely intellectual. I know one reason
is that is can be very rewarding. Hackers are drawn to computers for the
aninymity they allow. They feel powerful and can do anything. Hackers can be

The Involvement Of Computers In Future Jobs

you will not be able to cope with new technological events. Computer
consulting is a job, I have chosen long before the advances of technology.
And now it has paid off. I now have a business of my own, working as a
computer consultant. I assist others in learning about computers to be
able to operate more efficently in their everyday jobs. Computers will
fall into careers and our everyday life more rapidly then you think.
