Microprocessor-controlled, wide-range streak camera
Bechtel Nevada/NSTec recently announced deployment of their fifth generation streak camera. This camera incorporates many advanced features beyond those currently available for streak cameras. The arc-resistant driver includes a trigger lockout mechanism, actively monitors input trigger levels, and incorporates a high-voltage fault interrupter for user safety and tube protection. The camera is completely modular and may deflect over a variable full-sweep time of 15 nanoseconds to 500 microseconds. The camera design is compatible with both large- and small-format commercial tubes from several vendors. The embedded microprocessor offers Ethernet connectivity, and XML [extensible markup language]-based configuration management with non-volatile parameter storage using flash-based storage media. The camera’s user interface is platform-independent (Microsoft Windows, Unix, Linux, Macintosh OSX) and is accessible using an AJAX [asynchronous Javascript and XML]-equipped modem browser, such as Internet Explorer 6, Firefox, or Safari. User interface operation requires no installation of client software or browser plug-in technology. Automation software can also access the camera configuration and control using HTTP [hypertext transfer protocol]. The software architecture supports multiple-simultaneous clients, multiple cameras, and multiple module access with a standard browser. The entire user interface can be customized
Development and Deployment of VoiceXML-Based Banking Applications
In recent times, the financial sector has become one of the most vibrant sectors of the Nigerian economy with about twenty five banks after the bank consolidation / merger
exercise. This sector presents huge business investments in the area of Information and Communication Technology (ICT). It is also plausible to say that the sector today is the
largest body of ICT services and products users.
It is no gainsaying the fact that so many Nigerians now carry mobile phones across the different parts of the country.
However, applications that provide voice access to real-time banking transactions from anywhere, anytime via telephone are still at their very low stage of adoption across the Nigerian banking and financial sector.
A versatile speech-enabled mobile banking application has been developed using VXML, PHP, Apache and MySQL. The developed application provides real-time access to
banking services, thus improving corporate bottom-line and Quality of Service (QoS) for customer satisfaction
E-content for medical students
Blended learning, i.e. traditional methods used with modem computer and internet based technology, can enhance the effectiveness of training. We have created an e-content for the dermatology training of medical students and a testing system with Microsoft Learning Content Development System and Hot Potatoes JQuiz, both are free software. The SCORM compatible e-content covers the different types and characteristics of primary and secondary skin lesions. The content which can be used online or offline as well in a browser helps the students to deepen their knowledge with tests and playful quizzes. The html and JavaScript based testing system gives the tutors a quick and objective method to evaluate the performance of the students. We have used technologies which are supported by several authoring and learning management systems in order to be able to modify and transfer our work in other, even more sophisticated applications in the future
Virtual Office Design For The Effectiveness Of Web_based Office Administration Works
Virtual Office is the science of information technology which is a new thing for some people. The word of virtual has a meaning of visible or tangible, it means that in the future an office is intangible because it will be replaced by a system which is specifically designed to replace the role of office by applying web -based computer programming. Nowdays, Offices have been applied are still using a certain place with a wide range of file and requiring a storage cabinet. These issues triggered the researcher tried to design a virtual office with a concept which is able to handle a variety of problems, ranging from archival storage , searching the archives , phone , video conference , sending letters, categorizing archives and saving faculty and staff data. These concepts developed by the researcher offered well organized data that all files or all archives of administrative office tucked neatly away in a database in well organizing so it made easier in searching a spesific archive. The final objective of the research is the improvement of the workers’ performance because it will shorten the time to manage archives or files. Manufacture of incoming mail, outgoing mail, disposition and also numbering letters will be arranged neatly, thus will increase the effectiveness of a worker. (Abstract
An empirical study of power consumption of Web-based communications in mobile phones
Currently, mobile devices are the most popular
pervasive computing device, and they are becoming the primer way for Web access. Energy is a critical resource in such pervasive
computing devices, being network communication one of the primary energy consuming operations in mobile apps. Indeed, web-based communication is the most used, but also energy demanding. So, mobile web developers should be aware of how much energy consumes the different web-based communication alternatives. The goal of this paper is to measure and compare the
energy consumption of three asynchronous Web-based methods in mobile devices. Our experiments consider three different Web applications models that allow a web server to push data to a browser: Polling, Long Polling and WebSockets. The obtained
results are analyzed to get more accurate understanding of the impact in energy consumption of a mobile browser for each
of these three methods. The utility of these experiments is to show developers what are the factors that influence the energy consumption when different web-based asynchronous communication
is used. With this information mobile web developers
could reduce the power consumption of web applications on
mobile devices, by selecting the most appropriate method for
asynchronous server communication.MUniversidad de Málaga. Campus de Excelencia Internacional AndalucĂa Tech
Browser-based Analysis of Web Framework Applications
Although web applications evolved to mature solutions providing sophisticated
user experience, they also became complex for the same reason. Complexity
primarily affects the server-side generation of dynamic pages as they are
aggregated from multiple sources and as there are lots of possible processing
paths depending on parameters. Browser-based tests are an adequate instrument
to detect errors within generated web pages considering the server-side process
and path complexity a black box. However, these tests do not detect the cause
of an error which has to be located manually instead. This paper proposes to
generate metadata on the paths and parts involved during server-side processing
to facilitate backtracking origins of detected errors at development time.
While there are several possible points of interest to observe for
backtracking, this paper focuses user interface components of web frameworks.Comment: In Proceedings TAV-WEB 2010, arXiv:1009.330
