High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! A hansom cab is a kind of horse-drawn carriage designed and patented in 1834 by Joseph Hansom, an architect from York. The vehicle was developed and tested by Hansom in Hinckley, Leicestershire, England. Originally known as the Hansom safety cab, its purpose was to combine speed with safety, with a low centre of gravity that was essential for safe cornering. Hansom's original design was heavily altered by John Chapman to improve its practicability, but retained Hansom's name. Cab is a shortening of cabriolet, reflecting the design of the carriage. It replaced the hackney carriage as a vehicle for hire; with the introduction of clockwork mechanical taximeters to measure fares, the name became...

A haploscope is an optical device for presenting one image to one eye and another image to the other eye. The word derives from two Greek roots: haploieides, single and skopeo, to view. The word is often used interchangeably with stereoscope, but it is more general than that. A stereoscope is a type of haploscope, but not vice versa. The word has more currency in the medical field than elsewhere, where it refers to instruments designed to test binocular vision. These instruments include Worth's amblyoscope and the synoptophore.

Virtual Reality (VR) applications in medicine had significant improvements. 3D visualization of various anatomical parts using advanced medical scanner images, anatomy education, surgery operation simulation, virtual simulator for laparoscopic skills, virtual endoscopy, psychotherapy and rehabilitation techniques are some of the VR applications in medicine. Integration of the haptic devices into VR applications increased the quality of the systems. By using haptic devices, the user can not only feed information to the computer but can receive information from the computer in the form of a felt sensation on some part of the body. In this study a method to develop a dental education simulator supported by haptic feedback is described and...

In this book is investigated the possibility of mimicking haptic perception by using new technologies. Innovative solutions are needed to address multi-channel tactile perception. One avenue is to use “smart fluids”. Their rheological behaviour could be exploited to implement innovative haptic interfaces, which are capable of reproducing shape and compliance of virtual objects. A new generation of haptic display for free-hand exploration is envisioned, whereby the operator can interact with the virtual object by freely moving the hand without mechanical constraints. In such a way the full sensory-motor apparatus on the operator's hand would be involved, rather than restricting to just one or few fingertips or phalanges. This type of...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Harbin Z-9 is a Chinese military utility helicopter. It is a license-built version of the French Eurocopter Dauphin, and is manufactured by Harbin Aircraft Manufacturing Corporation. The first Z-9 flew in 1981, and was built in China from components supplied by Aerospatiale, but by the early 1990s the Z-9B was being built from over 70% indigenous Chinese components. On 16 January 1992, indigenous variant Z-9B was constructed with 70% Chinese-made parts flew successfully. The flight test completed in November 1992, with design certificate being certified later next month. The Z-9B production began in 1993, entering PLA service in 1994. The Z-9B features 11-blade Fenestron faired-in tail...

This thesis describes the hardware design of a positioning system which locates a vehicle relative to a digital map of an underground mine. The mines of interest arepotash mines of Saskatchewan, and they are at a depth of approximately 1000 meters and they cover an area larger than 10 kilometers by 10 kilometers. An important application of an in-mine positioning system is tracking a ground penetrating radar system. Ground penetrating radar is used to determine the current condition of the mine ceiling and to evaluate its risk of delamination. A ground penetrating radar system is driven along a mine tunnel and measurements are logged. It is necessary to record position information along with the radar signal and this can be done with the...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Hardware obfuscation is a technique by which the description or the structure of electronic hardware is modified to intentionally conceal the functionality of the hardware. In essence, it is different from digital watermarking, or from hardware intellectual property watermarking where the ownership information is concealed in the behavior of the circuit, but little effort is made to conceal the actual functionality of the circuit. It is also different from cryptography-based IP protection techniques common in field programmable gate array based design methodologies. The importance of the techniques of hardware watermarking has increased in the recent years due to the widespread adoption of...

The hardware systems architect or hardware architect is responsible for: Interfacing with a systems architect or client stakeholders. It is extraordinarily rare nowadays for sufficiently large and/or complex hardware systems that require a hardware architect not to require substantial software and a systems architect. The hardware architect will therefore normally interface with a systems architect, rather than directly with user(s), sponsor(s), or other client stakeholders. However, in the absence of a systems architect, the hardware systems architect must be prepared to interface directly with the client stakeholders in order to determine their (evolving) needs to be realized in hardware. The hardware architect may also need to...

This research introduces a stochastic framework for evaluating and comparing the expected performance of sensing systems for interactive computer graphics. Incorporating models of the sensor devices and expected user motion dynamics, this framework enables complementary system- and measurement-level hardware information optimization, independent of algorithm and motion paths. The approach for system-level optimization is to estimate the asymptotic position and/or orientation uncertainty at many points throughout a desired working volume or surface, and to visualize the results graphically. This global performance estimation can provide both a quantitative assessment of the expected performance and intuition about how to improve the type...

Harry McNish (real name Henry McNish, often referred to as Harry McNeish or by the nickname Chippy) September 1874 – 24 September 1930) was the carpenter on Sir Ernest Shackleton's Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition of 1914–1917. He was responsible for much of the work that ensured the crew's survival after their ship, the Endurance, was destroyed when it became trapped in pack ice in the Weddell Sea. He modified the small boat, James Caird, that allowed Shackleton and five men (including McNish) to make a voyage of hundreds of miles to fetch help for the rest of the crew. He briefly refused to follow orders on the crew's long trek pulling the boats across the pack ice, and, despite his efforts during the journey, was one of only...
