Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 1.0
Recommendation from the W3C, which explains to developers and authors how to make
Web content accessible to people with disabilities.
The guidelines are intended for all Web content developers (page authors and site designers) and for developers of
This is a reference document for accessibility principles and design ideas
The Techniques Document has been designed to track changes in technology and is expected to be updated more frequently than the current document
For those unfamiliar with accessibility issues pertaining to Web page design, consider that many users may be operating in contexts very different from your own: They may not be able to see, hear, move, or may not be able to process some types of information easily or at all
Content developers must consider these different situations during page design
While there are several situations to consider, each accessible design choice generally benefits several disability groups at once and the Web community as a whole
The guidelines discuss accessibility issues and provide accessible design solutions

Building bug-free OO software: An introduction to Design by Contract
Advanced use of assertions for clearer specifications and greater software
reliability. By OO guru Bertrand Meyer, creator of Eiffel.
Building bug-free O-O software: An introduction to Design by Contract(TM) Eiffel Software is the pioneer of Design by Contract and the Component Revolution
For a more detailed look at Design by Contract and how it can make your code more reliable read this document or watch the
Upcoming: A two day session, Eiffel and Design by Contract™ by Dr
The seminar brochure in PDF format is available at: Overview The notion of Design by Contract is central in the systematic approach to object-oriented software construction, as embodied in the Eiffel method
This article introduces such a method, known as Design by Contract
Under the Design by Contract theory, a software system is viewed as a set of communicating components whose interaction is based on precisely defined specifications of the mutual obligations -- contracts
The benefits of Design by Contract include the following: A better understanding of the object-oriented method and, more generally, of software construction
The Design by Contract theory, then, suggests associating a specification with every software element
This has the advantage that the specification language is embedded in the design and programming language (here Eiffel), whereas formal specification languages are typically non-executable or, if they are executable, can only be used for prototypes

Robonaut - Home
The Robonaut project seeks to develop and demonstrate a robotic system that can
function as an EVA astronaut equivalent.
Robonaut is a humanoid robot designed by the Robot Systems Technology Branch at NASA's Johnson Space Center in a collaborative effort with DARPA
Robonaut is designed to be used for "EVA" tasks, i.e., those which were not specifically designed for robots
Over the past five decades, space flight hardware has been designed for human servicing
While the depth and breadth of human performance is beyond the current state of the art in robotics, NASA targeted the reduced dexterity and performance of a suited astronaut as Robonaut's design goals, specifically using the work envelope, ranges of motion, strength and endurance capabilities of space walking humans
This website describes the design effort for the entire Robonaut system, including mechanisms, avionics, computational architecture and telepresence control
Mechanism Design The manipulator and dexterous hand have been developed with a substantial investment in mechatronics design
The theory that manufacturing tools caused humans to evolve by requiring skills that could be naturally selected is applied to Robonaut's design as well
Ch -- an embeddable C/C++ interpreter
A superset of C interpreter by SoftIntegration, Inc. It is the most complete C
interpreter and an alternative to C compiler.
March 6, 2006 Ch Mechanism Toolkit contains many mechanism classes and objects for design and analysis of commonly used mechanisms such as fourbar linkage, five-bar linkage, six-bar linkage, crank-slider mechanism, and cam-follower system
Mechanisms for Financial Markets
Various papers on a new auction mechanism that breaks auctions into auctionettes,
and on a new design of an exchange rate mechanism.
Sale of an appropriately designed exotic option would further smooth the stabilisation
The current design of bond future resembles an agricultural contract
A better design would prevent squeezes, and thus allow a bond future to better represent its underlyings
Further, selling a specially designed futures contract would reduce dealers’ balance sheet usage, again increasing revenue, and would also permit the authorities to match cash inflows with cash outflows

My objective is to design, build and test large forceful robotic systems that will evolve to be used in industry to solve tasks in complex, dynamic (i.e., changing) and dangerous environments
Specific research topics are robot system configuration, mechanism design, reliability and perception devices for outdoor environments
I have specific interest in robotic system design and reliability and improving the processes of design, production and testing of prototype robotic systems to enable predictable levels of reliability
- The NREC-led team designed, developed and field tested and successfully demonstrated a Gladiator robotic system with high mobility and remote combat capabilities
By combining the inherent mobility of Spinner with advanced perception techniques including the use of learning and prior terrain data, the UPI program stresses system design across vehicle, sensors and software so that the strengths of one component compensate for the weaknesses of another
