The revolution in data gathering systems

Data acquisition systems used in NASA's wind tunnels from the 1950's through the present time are summarized as a baseline for assessing the impact of minicomputers and microcomputers on data acquisition and data processing. Emphasis is placed on the cyclic evolution in computer technology which transformed the central computer system, and finally the distributed computer system. Other developments discussed include: medium scale integration, large scale integration, combining the functions of data acquisition and control, and micro and minicomputers

Automated Deploy for Chrome OS Testing

The current NVIDIA Chrome OS team is rather small, and they simply do not have that many man-hours to devote to testing Chromebooks. To alleviate this pressure, our MQP group has developed a system to automatically deploy and test the newest builds of NVIDIA’s Chrome OS software on their new Tegra-based Chromebooks. Our software system allows the NVIDIA Chrome OS team to quickly test new nightly builds, eliminate broken builds, and ensure their development Chromebooks are always in a bootable state

Design of a nurse calling system with real time indoor location capabilities

The main driver of this project has been to design a prove of concept of a device that allows live voice communication between patients and medical staff and the capability to locate in real time patients in an enclosed environment. The author of this project had an initial constraint it was supplied by the project director supplied for this project a DWM1001-DEV Module Development Board which provides accurate positioning thanks to its wireless Real Time Location System. After a study of the problem, a selection of components, both hardware and software were selected. The sound system is composed of a I2S Microphone SPH0645 for real time audio capturing, an I2S Amplifier Breakout board MAX98357A and a generic 8ohms speaker. The patient interface component is a button used to trigger communication. For the development of the software the Espressif IoT Development Framework was used, it provides APIs for the user to program the ESP32. The ESP-IDF was installed on VSCode IDE. For debugging the system, we used a J-Link PRO with the Eclipse IDE. The ESP32 communicates with a python-based server using a Wi-Fi network, the communication is based on the UDP protocol. The result is a prototype that showcase that a final product based on this system is feasible, it presents great autonomy and excellent real time communication features. Further lines of work are described, and the presented system is flexible enough to integrate them

English language for all

The purpose of this study is to look at models of English language learning and innovative financing for the delivery of ESOL to learners not able to access provision funded by the Skills Funding Agency (SFA) as a result of SFA funding changes for 2011/12. - This report identifies the key groups excluded by recent changes: low-paid workers and those with very low levels of language and literacy. - On the basis of research with communities and learning providers across London, this report suggests three possible models of provision that could be used to fill some of the gaps left by changes in the national funding arrangements
