We explore the ways in which interfaces can be designed to deceive users so as to create the illusion of magic. We present a study of an experimental performance in which a magician used a computer vision system to conduct a series of illusions based on the well-known „three cups ‟ magic trick. We explain our findings in terms of the two broad strategies of misdirecting attention and setting false expectations, articulating specific tactics that were employed in each case. We draw on existing theories of collaborative and spectator interfaces, ambiguity and interpretation, and trajectories through experiences to explain our findings in broader HCI terms. We also extend and integrate current theory to provide refined sensitising concepts for analysing deceptive interactions.

Modular acoustical panels have been used to construct noise control enclosures at least since the early 1950s. This paper presents examples of the early days of modular acoustical enclosures and illustrates the current state of the art where pre-engineered acoustical panels are used to construct acoustical environments for Music Practice, Broadcast Facilities, Recording Rooms, and Sensitive Compartmented Information Facilities in a shorter period of time and at a lower cost than traditional drywall construction. Numerous examples are presented illustrating how, through the use of pre-engineered acoustical panel systems, manufacturers are able to guarantee the acoustical characteristics of a space while maintaining the ability to expand, demount, and relocate the rooms at a later point in time. The benefits of a no-hassle installation and acoustic guarantee, as well as multiple options for fit and finish that will equal the best craftsman’s fine handiwork, are presented.

Integrated Circuits (IC) have developed from its earliest forms of MSI, LSI level circuits to VLSI (Very Large- Scale Integration) and ULSI (Ultra Large- Scale Integration) circuits. Along with the rapid advancement in processing technology which made this possible, the complexity in design and design concerns increased. More time is consumed in designing a IC than producing it. As a result, the cost of design is a major concern. To minimize the effects of cost and time in producing an IC, the industry started adopting a "Design Reuse" concept. This is facilitated by modular design approach where the same design is reused for a new product.\n\nThe whole digital system is realized in form of modules. Individual modules can also be expanded to higher bit configurations by cascading it with other modules of the same kind. IC industries use in-house designed modules for its products. These modules are not available due to proprietary and commercial reasons. This thesis presents a comprehensive insight into modular design approach and applies this approach towards implementing a microcontroller. A fully functional microprogrammable control unit is designed and simulated which could be later used as building block (module) for further designs.

<italic>Modular design of grammar: Linguistics on the edge</italic> presents the cutting edge of research on linguistic modules and interfaces in Lexical-Functional Grammar (LFG). LFG has a highly modular design that models the linguistic system as a set of discreet submodules that include, among others, constituent structure, functional structure, argument structure, semantic structure, and prosodic structure, with each module having its coherent properties and being related to each other by correspondence functions. Following a detailed introduction, Part I scrutinises the nature of linguistic structures, interfaces and representations in LFG’s architecture and ontology. Parts II and III are concerned with problems, analyses and generalisations associated with linguistic phenomena which are of long-standing theoretical significance, including agreement, reciprocals, possessives, reflexives, raising, subjecthood, and relativisation, demonstrating how these phenomena can be naturally accounted for within LFG’s modular architecture. Part IV explores issues of the synchronic and diachronic dynamics of syntactic categories in grammar, such as unlike category coordination, fuzzy categorial edges, and consequences of decategorialization, providing explicit LFG solutions to such problems including those which result from language change in progress. The final part re-examines and refines the precise representations and interfaces of syntax with morphology, semantics and pragmatics to account for challenging facts such as suspended affixation, prosody in multiple question word interrogatives and information structure, anaphoric dependencies, and idioms.

Utilization of an inflatable-type causeway that can be multitiered in side carry on an LST may offer a marked logistic advantage over present causeways. A modular concept of such a causeway was developed and tested. Each causeway section consists of 24 steel modules assembled into two 12-unit strings with angles, and supported on inflatable pontoon cells restrained in cavities. The assembled superstructure resembles an inverted muffin t n. Air inflation of the cells is achieved by a source external to the system; a limited auxiliary air supply is housed internally for emergency use. Tests indicate that the modular design is satisfactory for use as an inflatable-type causeway. Operational evaluation is recommended. (Author)

The emergence of aspect-oriented programming (AOP) languages has provided software designers with new mechanisms and strategies for decomposing programs into modules and composing modules into systems. What we do not yet fully understand is how best to use such mechanisms consistent with common modularization objectives such as the comprehensibility of programming code, its parallel development, dependability, and ease of change. The main contribution of this work is a new form of information hiding interface for AOP that we call the crosscut programming interface, or XPI. XPIs abstract crosscutting behaviors and make these abstractions explicit. XPIs can be used, albeit with limited enforcement of interface rules, with existing AOP languages, such as AspectJ. To evaluate our notion of XPIs, we have applied our XPI-based design methodology to a medium-sized network overlay application called Hypercast. A qualitative and quantitative analysis of existing AO design methods and XPI-based design method shows that our approach produces improvements in program comprehensibility, in opportunities for parallel development, and in the ease with which code can be developed and changed.

Abstract The ability to reconfigure automation equipment will reduce the manufacturing costs of obsolesence, training and maintenance while allowing for a faster response to changes in the product line. A modular philosophy will give the user these advantages, but only if based on a common connection standard. A mechanical connection was selected for the UT Modular Robotics Testbed and used in the designs of four robot joint modules and nine robot link modules. The standard was also used for assecories, such as the testand, loading fixtures and endeffectors. Three years of experiments with this connection standard are reviewed, and used as the basis for new connection designs. Experiments using multiple modules assembled as dextrous robots, as well as experiments focusing on the connection itself, will be described. Goals for future connection standards include designs with upward compatibility, combinations of both mechanical and electrical fittings, and robot triendly constraints that allow for automated or remote assembly of modular robots.
