Rajicon: remote PC GUI operations via constricted mobile interfaces
Authors: Norman Makoto Su, Yutaka Sakane, Masahiko Tsukamoto, Shojiro Nishio
Venue: Proceedings of the 8th annual international conference on Mobile computing and networking (2002)

As of now, it is not uncommon for one to use multiple computers in separate places such as at home, office or school. A number of applications currently exist to allow a user to easily access and control these computers remotely via a notebook computer or web page. Unfortunately, even with such solutions, it is rather inconvenient, for example, to try accessing your computer while walking downtown or riding a train. On the other hand, considering that cellular phones have been accepted as multi-function devices capable of karaoke, digital photography and web browsing in countries like Japan, it may prove beneficial to support remote PC access on a cellular phone. With this in mind, we created Rajicon, a system to provide an easy to use interface to remotely operate a PC's GUI operating system via a cellular phone. Rajicon supports image based navigation of a remote PC's desktop and mouse/key operations. In addition, Rajicon provides functions for keyboard shortcuts, specialized window adjustment operations and text extraction. We have performed extensive evaluations with five subjects and discuss the results in this paper. We also discuss the lead author's latest adaption of Rajicon to a PDA.

A search engine for 3D models
Authors: Thomas Funkhouser, Patrick Min, Michael Kazhdan, Joyce Chen, Alex Halderman, David Dobkin, David Jacobs
Venue: ACM Transactions on Graphics (TOG) (2003)

As the number of 3D models available on the Web grows, there is an increasing need for a search engine to help people find them. Unfortunately, traditional text-based search techniques are not always effective for 3D data. In this article, we investigate new shape-based search methods. The key challenges are to develop query methods simple enough for novice users and matching algorithms robust enough to work for arbitrary polygonal models. We present a Web-based search engine system that supports queries based on 3D sketches, 2D sketches, 3D models, and/or text keywords. For the shape-based queries, we have developed a new matching algorithm that uses spherical harmonics to compute discriminating similarity measures without requiring repair of model degeneracies or alignment of orientations. It provides 46 to 245&percnt; better performance than related shape-matching methods during precision--recall experiments, and it is fast enough to return query results from a repository of 20,000 models in under a second. The net result is a growing interactive index of 3D models available on the Web (i.e., a Google for 3D models).

Construction of Solution Curves for Large Two-Dimensional Problems of Steady-State Flows of Incompressible Fluids
Authors: Valmor F. De Almeida, Jeffrey J. Derby
Venue: SIAM Journal on Scientific Computing (2000)

This work represents a step toward advancing classical methods of bifurcation analysis in conjunction with very large-scale scientific computing needed to model realistically processes which involve laminar and steady flows of incompressible fluids. A robust method of analysis based on pseudoarclength continuation, Newton's method, and direct solution of linear systems is proposed and applied to the analysis of a representative system of fluid mechanics, namely the tilted lid driven cavity. Accurate solution curves, possessing simple singular points, were computed for Reynolds numbers varying from 0 to 10,000 and for different angles of tilt. The results demonstrate that two-dimensional models with up to 1,000,000 algebraic equations can be studied feasibly using the methods described here with state-of-the-art vector supercomputers.

A tutorial program for propositional logic with human/computer interactive learning
Authors: Stacy Lukins, Alan Levicki, Jennifer Burg
Venue: Proceedings of the 33rd SIGCSE technical symposium on Computer science education (2002)

This paper describes a tutorial program that serves a double role as an educational tool and a research environment. First, it introduces students to fundamental concepts of propositional logic and gives them practice with theorem proving. Secondly, the program provides an environment in which we can track student learning, explore cognitive issues of human problem solving, and investigate the possibilities of interactive human/machine learning. We have tested the tutorial program on two groups of Discrete Mathematics students and report the results of our assessment. We also discuss the contributions and future directions of our research in interactive human/machine learning.

Rivalry and interference with a head-mounted display
Venue: ACM Transactions on Computer-Human Interaction (TOCHI) (2002)

Perceptual factors that affect monocular, transparent (a.k.a "see-thru") head-mounted displays include binocular rivalry, visual interference, and depth of focus. We report the results of an experiment designed to evaluate the effects of these factors on user performance in a table look-up task. Two backgrounds were used. A dynamic moving background was provided by a large screen TV and an untidy bookshelf was used to provide a complex static background. With the TV background large effects were found attributable to both rivalry and visual interference. These two effects were roughly additive. Smaller effects were found with the bookshelf. In conclusion we suggest that monocular transparent HMDs may be unsuitable for use in visually dynamic environments. However when backgrounds are relatively static, having a transparent display may be preferable to having an opaque display.

E-Investing: How to Choose and Use a Discount Broker
Authors: Rob Carrick, Guy Anderson
Venue:  (2000)

:Step-by-step tips to getting the most from your discount brokerMore and more Canadians are seeking out discount brokers as a low-cost alternative to having professionals manage their money. But not all new customers know what to look for in a discount broker. Consequently, many busy brokers are either spending huge amounts of time qualifying, or even refusing, new customers. The Discount Decision provides readers with everything they need to know to get the most out of their brokers and their trades. Sample dialogues and questions take readers step-by-step through the process, and a detailed questionnaire helps determine investment profiles and objectives. Coverage of brokers includes: how they work; how to choose one; detailed cost and service comparisons; who should maintain an account at a discount brokers vs. a full service brokerage; functionality and design of discount brokerages' Web sites; and much more.Rob Carrick (Ottawa, Canada) is a personal finance columnist for Canada's national newspaper, The Globe and Mail.
