In our information-driven web-based society, we are all gradually falling ""victims"" to information overload [5].However, while sighted people finding ways sift through faster, Internet users who blind experiencing an even greater overload. These access computers and using screen-reader software, which reads the on a computer screen sequentially computer-generated speech. While can learn how quickly glance over headlines news articles online get gist of information, have use keyboard...

This demo will present HearSay, a multi-modal non-visual web browser, which aims to bridge the growing Web Accessibility divide between individuals with visual impairments and their sighted counterparts, facilitate full participation of blind in Web-based society.

This demonstration will propose a touch-based directional navigation technique, on touch interface (e.g., iPhone, Macbook) for people with visual disabilities especially blind individuals. Such interfaces coupled TTS (text-to-speech) systems open up intriguing possibilities browsing and skimming web content ease speed. Apple's seminal VoiceOver system iOS is an exemplar of bringing to people. There are two major shortcomings: "fat finger" "finger-fatigue" problems, which have been addressed...

People who are blind use screen readers for browsing web pages. Since read out content serially, a naive readout tends to mix irrelevant and relevant thereby disrupting the coherency of material being confusing listener. To address this problem we can partition pages into coherent segments narrate each such piece separately. Extant methods do segmentation visual structural cues without taking semantics account consequently create containing material. In paper, describe new technique creating...

In this paper we present Capti -- a universally and ubiquitously accessible web browsing application enabling intuitive usable access for people with w/o vision impairments. provides screen-reader interface an listen-to-it-later Playlist (charmtechlabs.com).

This study is concerned with the behavior of stress and strain in a thick walled functionally graded material (FGM) cylinder under internal pressure. The incompatible eigenstrain equivalent developed cylinder, are taken into account. As demonstration, TiC/Al2O3 FGM considered different components presented order to effects pressure, temperature difference (between room sintering temperature), wall thickness distribution. numerical result here shows that thermoelastic characteristic like an...

Through the paper our goal is to locate any given polar co-ordinate by controlling driving unit in a very cost effective way using inverse kinematics. Mechanical and Electrical parts are assembled thereby. The main objective of this project perform point movements like dispensing, loading, pick place, assembling palletizing, precise welding cutting an object perfectly through robot arm. arm compliant X-Y direction but rigid 'Z' direction. Nylon fiber used as ULN2003 control stepper motor....

In this paper, a comprehensive analysis of electroencephalogram (EEG) signals is carried out in the empirical mode decomposition (EMD) domain using publicly available benchmark EEG database. First, intrinsic functions (IMF) are extracted EMD domain. Next, normal inverse Gaussian (NIG) probability density function (pdf) introduced and it investigated whether NIG pdf can suitably model IMFs signals. It shown that suitable prior to first five from various types recordings. further parameters...

In this paper, a statistical analysis of electroencephalogram (EEG) signals is carried out in the empirical mode decomposition (EMD) domain using publicly available benchmark EEG database. First, intrinsic functions (IMF) are extracted from EMD domain. Next, investigation was whether Bessel k-form (BKF) probability density function (pdf) can appropriately model IMFs signals. It shown that on an average, BKF pdf suitable prior to first five various types recordings. After that, it parameters...

Sighted people know how to quickly glance over the headlines and news articles online get gist of information. On other hand, who are blind use screen-readers listen through content narrated by a serial audio interface. This interface does not give them an opportunity what skip to. In this work, I present automated approach facilitate non-visual skimming web pages.

Abstract Physics-based modeling aids in designing efficient data center power and cooling systems. These systems have traditionally been modeled independently under the assumption that inherent coupling of effects between has negligible impact. This study tests through uncertainty quantification models for a typical 300 kW supplied either an alternating current (AC)-based or direct (DC)-based distribution system. A novel calculation scheme is introduced couples calculations these two to...

Efficient power system design in modern data centers is of great importance due to the rapid growth their energy demand. This study determines impact modeling inherent coupling between center distribution and cooling systems on predicted consumption. A novel solution technique that performs this was created flow network tool Villanova Thermodynamic Analysis Systems (VTAS). First, a standalone framework its associated component models were implemented into tool, which used compare efficiency...

Elastomeric bearing is a crucial element of structure. To study these elements' behavior under different loads, correct strain energy function should be selected to predict the nonlinear hyperelastic accurately. Physical compression test performed on sample steel laminated elastomeric bearing, which originally used structure foundation resist seismic forces. A finite software was simulate physical for seven models. Error percentages were also calculated and compared between all models with...
