unable to use conventional controls. For some of these people, noninvasive brain– computer interfaces (BCIs) offer a promising solution to this interaction problem. Brain-Actuated Wheelchairs Millions of people around the world suffer from mobility impairments, with hundreds of thousands of them relying on power wheelchairs for activities of daily living [1]. However, many patients are not prescribed power wheelchairs either because they are physically unable to control the chair using a conventional

What changes in the work situation might account for the increase in productivity and the decrease in controllable rejects? The changes in the work situation that might account for the increase in productivity and the subsequent decrease in controllable defects are the redesign of the work flow and the increase in the work responsibility assigned to each worker. The redesign of the work flow allowed workers to assemble a unit of the hotplate instead of only a part over and over again. This resulted

engineering, the power flow study, also known as load-flow study, is an important tool involving numerical analysis applied to a power system. A power flow study usually uses simplified notation such as a one-line diagram and per-unit system, and focuses on various forms of AC power (i.e.: voltages, voltage angles, real power and reactive power). It analyzes the power systems in normal steady-state operation. A number of software implementations of power flow studies exist. In addition to a power flow

Prototyping Excavator Control Systems Mark D. Elton, Aaron R. Enes, and Wayne J. Book, Fellow, IEEE Abstract— A multimodal operator interface station is developed to display a realistic virtual reality depiction of a compact excavator performing general digging tasks. The interface station includes engine audio feedback and a near life-size operator display attached to a full-size cab. The excavator dynamics are determined by models of the hydraulic system, the linkage system, and the soil digging

Internal controls are referred to the methods established by a company to safeguard its assets. Internal controls are designed with the idea of achieving a company's objectives, which include the effectiveness and efficiency of operations, that the information presented to financial statement users is reliable, and that the firm is complying with regulations and laws (Bodnar & Hopwood, 2013, p.13). Internal control requires the distribution of responsibilities among employees. It is important
