ITC/USA 2014 Conference Proceedings / The Fiftieth Annual International Telemetering Conference and Technical Exhibition / October 20-23, 2014 / Town and Country Resort & Convention Center, San Diego, CA / This paper discusses the rover engagement display (RED), an application that integrates network communication, control systems, numerical and visual analysis of telemetry, and a graphical user interface for communicating with the embedded systems of a remote vehicle. The target vehicle is a wheeled rover participating in the University Rover Challenge, a competition that observes the performance of rovers in an environment similar to that of the planet Mars. Communication with the rover occurs via a TCP connection and messages adhere to a simple protocol. The RED user interface is visually modular in an attempt to provide additional scalability and extensibility. Control algorithms, user interface design concepts, and code architecture (C#) are discussed.

Thesis (M.S.)--Boston University / The Earlab Project at Boston University Hearing Research Center (HRC), http://earlab.bu.edu, is a computational simulation system created by the HRC to allow researchers to run simulations efficiently, using software representations of physiological pathways. The existing complexity of Earlab presents difficulty for users who may wish to adjust the parameters necessary to change from models of the ear to models that simulate other physiological pathways. To address this difficulty, several approaches were explored to assist in formulating a new framework for editing files associated with Earlab. XML, a mark-up language, was used to derive a series of prototype XML based documents as replacements for existing Earlab files. Microsoft Visual Studio and C# was then used to create a prototype of a graphical user interface that is capable of displaying an XML based document in a visual manner. The resulting framework shows the process of the intake of an XML document of an sample Earlab model, the presentation of the model in a graphical framework and the ability to edit the model and receive feedback on the suitability of values in the model.

Master of Science / Department of Computing and Information Sciences / Alley Stoughton / This thesis covers the process leading up to the release of eXene 2.0, a User Interface Management System (UIMS) toolkit. Since its inception, eXene has provided a unique way to create meaningful graphical user interfaces (GUIs) for Standard ML applications. Additionally, it has gone through several quality revisions which have both enhanced the toolkit and corrected many deficiencies that were present. Even with these improvements, however, the full potential of eXene has become increasingly difficult for developers to utilize. That is, in spite of the natural innovation that eXene brings to GUI construction, its current lack of extensibility, usability, and functionality has caused Standard ML developers to choose simpler, more familiar UIMS toolkits, despite their limitations, for the creation of their applications. In light of this fact, eXene needs an internal and cosmetic overhaul to extend its usage and appeal. First, to improve its extensibility, formerly weakened by organic growth, eXene requires some restructuring of its architecture. Second, to improve its overall usability, previously stifled by sparse documentation, eXene requires the implementation of an interactive electronic document for its API. Finally, to improve its functionality, several new multi-purpose widgets need to be introduced. It is the author's hypothesis that the revised structure, improved documentation, and additional multi-purpose widgets detailed in this thesis sufficiently elevate eXene's extensibility, usability, and functionality such that eXene can be considered a fully featured UIMS toolkit. With these changes and the release of eXene 2.0, eXene is more likely to be adopted as the primary UIMS toolkit for Standard ML developers.

International Telemetering Conference Proceedings / October 27-30, 1997 / Riviera Hotel and Convention Center, Las Vegas, Nevada / There is a wave of change coming. It started in the industrial automation community and it is slowly and surely working its way into aerospace, satellite and telemetry applications. It’s called the PC, and its not just for simple quick-look data anymore. Using state-of-the-art commercial hardware and software technologies, PC-based architectures can now be used to perform self contained, reliable and high performance telemetry data acquisition and processing functions – previously the domain of expensive, dedicated front end systems. This paper will discuss many of the key enabling technologies and will provide examples of their use in a truly next generation system architecture based on the Microsoft® Windows NT Operating System and related features.

International Telemetering Conference Proceedings / October 25-28, 1993 / Riviera Hotel and Convention Center, Las Vegas, Nevada / Due to the rapid advancement of technology in GUI design tools within Microsoft Windows™, a sophisticated human-machine interface can be developed for telemetry systems. A PC Windows™-based telemetry system would effectively provide a "bridge" between the telemetry world and the Windows™ world, bringing many low cost off-the-shelf software and hardware tools into the telemetry realm that has been unprecedented. This paper describes the results of such an approach in the development of Loral's Visual Telemetry System (VTS) software.

Musik-applikationen c3n play används på surfplattor och mobiltelefoner som har den kapacitiva pekskärmstypen. I dagsläget kan musik-applikationen enbart styras med fingrarna. Spelpjäser, utvecklades för att målgruppen skulle kunna kombinera fingerinmatning med något fysiskt och för att underlätta spelandet. En konvergerande produktutvecklingsprocess innefattande faser och aktiviteter tillämpades. Inledningsvis genomfördes en detaljerad informationsinsamling som grund för det fortsatta arbetet. Analys av konkurrenternas produkter och en benchmarking implementerades, för att både identifiera kraven som ställts på produkten och upprätta en kravspecifikation. Spelpjäsen delades in i tre delar: formen på hela spelpjäsen, mönster som gör att användarna kan identifiera varje spelpjäs och mönster på undersidan som programvaran kunde identifiera. Därefter genererades flera idéer på formen av spelpjäsen, vilka utvärderades med hänsyn till de uppsatta kraven. Idéer som ansågs uppfylla kraven bäst gick vidare till konceptgenereringsfasen, där fem olika förslag kunde visualiseras i skisser och CAD-modeller (Computer Aidid Design). Koncepten utvärderades och förbättrades för att tillfredsställa användarnas behov och förväntningar. Det slutliga konceptet på formen gjordes i fyra olika varianter, vilka framställdes som prototyper för vidare test av målgruppen. Konceptlösningar på spelpjäsens identifieringsmönster av användaren analyserades för att passa in i c3n play-användargränssnitten. Tekniken för att identifiera spelpjäsen mot den kapacitiva pekskärmstypen utvecklades via tester, där avstånd och vinklar på kontaktpunkterna bestämdes. Viktiga produktutvecklingsverktyg implementerades för att säkerställa såväl spelpjäsernas hållbarhet som miljövänlighet, med hänsyn till produktlivscykel, tillverkning, montering och tillförlitlighet samt kostnadsmedvetenhet. Därefter valdes lämpliga material samt en lämplig tillverkningsmetod. Detta resulterade i en produktfamilj bestående av åtta stycken spelpjäser som ändrar på var sin funktion i c3n play-applikationen. En spelpjäs som förändrar amplitud, resonans, högtpassfilter, lågt-passfilter, delay, zoom + pan, kompression och feedback. / The application c3n play can be used on tablets and mobile phones that have capacitive multi touchscreens. The application can only be controlled by using the finger input. Tangible user interface was developed so the target group can use something physically “checkers” in a combination with the finger input. A product development process comprising phases and activities was implemented. Initially a detailed information collection were conducted and used as underlying to the continued work. Competitors’ products were analyzed and a benchmarking was implemented to identify user needs and to be able to make a target specification. Checkers was divided in three parts, shape of the whole checker, pattern so users can identify every checker and a pattern on the bottom so the software can identify the checkers on the screen. After that ideas were generated and the shape of the checker was evaluated. Ideas that was considered to meet the user needs went on to concept generation phase, where five different proposals was visualized in sketches and CAD (Computer Aided Design) - models. Concepts was evaluated and improved to satisfy customer needs and expectations. Final concept of the shape was developed into four different variants that was prepared as prototypes for further testing by target group. Concept solutions on identification pattern was analyzed to fit c3n play user interface. Technology to identify the checker against capacitive screen was developed by tests. Where distance and angles of contact points was determined. Important product development tools was implemented to ensure the checkers sustainability. With respect to the product life cycle, environment, manufacturing, assembly, reliability and cost consciousness. Suitable materials and manufacturing method was then chosen. Resulted in a product family consisted of eight different checkers. Each checker can change a different function in the c3n play-application. Amplitude, Resonance, Highpassfilter, Low-passfilter, Delay, Zoom + Pan, Compression and Feedback.

To improve efficacy in the field of drug discovery simpler in vivo, non invasive methods such as PET and SPECT are used. Pharmacokinetic analysis is the underlying method for analyzing the PET data. Imaging of tracer distribution is used to study a metabolic process. Using Matlab as the programming language, a software tool is developed to analyze the quantitative information from PET and to obtain an estimate of pharmacokinetic parameters, representing the bio- distribution of the radiotracer. A Graphical User Interface developed allows two types of analysis, depending upon the nature of the radiotracer: Compartmental Modeling and Logan Plot Analysis. Compartmental analysis gives us rate constants and blood volume where as Logan analysis gives us the distribution volume as the parameter of interest. Code validation is done for two radiotracers, 15O-water (Single compartment model) and FPAC (Logan Plot). Results from the code were compared with those obtained during a research work done to study MDR.
