User‐friendly systems instead of user‐friendly front‐ends

Susan Gauch · RePEc: Research Papers in Economics

Most commercial online retrieval systems are not designed to service end users and, therefore, have often built “front‐ends” to their systems specifically to serve the end‐user market. These front‐ends have not been well accepted, mostly because the underlying systems are still difficult for end users to use successfully in searching. New techniques, based on statistical methods, that allow natural language input and return lists of records in order of likely relevance, have long been available from research laboratories. This article presents four prototype implementations of these statistical retrieval systems that demonstrate their potential as powerful and easily used retrieval systems able to service all users. © 1992 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

User-friendly medicines

Singh, Shikha, Singh, Sachin · Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research) · 2024

The pharmaceutical sciences have experienced tremendous growth and innovation over the past few decades, driven by the relentless pursuit of new therapies and the optimization of drug delivery systems. As we delve deeper into the complexities of disease mechanisms and patient needs, the field of pharmaceutical formulation and drug discovery has become increasingly sophisticated, integrating cutting-edge technologies and interdisciplinary approaches to bring forth new therapeutic agents that address unmet medical needs. "Advances in Pharmaceutical Formulation and Drug Discovery" is a comprehensive exploration of the latest breakthroughs and methodologies in the field. This book aims to provide researchers, academicians, and professionals with a detailed understanding of the current trends, challenges, and opportunities that shape pharmaceutical development today. The content of this book is meticulously curated to cover a wide spectrum of topics, from the design and development of novel drug delivery systems to the discovery of new pharmacological targets and the synthesis of innovative therapeutic molecules. Each chapter is authored by experts who bring a wealth of knowledge and experience, offering insights into both theoretical aspects and practical applications.

User-Friendly Sensors

John DeGaspari · Mechanical Engineering · 2000

This article illustrates that miniaturization promises to bring chemical analysis out of the lab and into the field. Current research, based on varying approaches, is aimed at ultimately developing small, portable chemical analysis systems that are fast, accurate, and field-friendly. Some applications have been commercialized, and many more are still under development. One approach, taken by Sandia National Laboratories in Livermore, CA, is based on detecting elemental signatures—telltale traces of elements that fluoresce when the material is hit by an X-ray or gamma ray. An integrated, field-portable µChemLab will take a chromatographic approach to performing chemical analysis on gases and liquids. The enabling technology of Sandia’s approach is based on a new type of solid-state detector designed with a semiconductor crystal alloy of cadmium, zinc, and telluride, which can operate at room temperature—a key advantage over conventional silicon- and germanium-based devices. A different approach, based on chromatography, is the focus of another Sandia project to develop a field-portable chemical analysis device.

User friendly services.

L.J. Winn, A. J. Quick · PubMed · 1990

Consumerism is fashionable in the health service, but there is a danger that it will prove no more than window-dressing. Liz Winn and Allison Quick, who recently wrote a book on user-friendly services, addressed particularly to the managers of community health services, summarise their conclusions, pointing out the possibilities and pitfalls if consumerism is to be taken seriously.

User friendly joystick

Eklund, Wayne D., Kerley, James J. · NASA Technical Reports Server (NASA)

A joystick control device having a lower U-shaped bracket, an upper U-shaped bracket, a handle attached to the upper U-shaped bracket, with the upper U-shaped bracket connected to the lower U-shaped bracket by a compliant joint allowing six degrees of freedom for the joystick. The compliant joint consists of at least one cable segment affixed between the lower U-shaped bracket and the upper U-shaped bracket. At least one input device is located between the lower U-shaped bracket and the upper U-shaped bracket.

User Friendly Trucks

Virginia A. Runkle, Marilyn Vala · SAE technical papers on CD-ROM/SAE technical paper series · 1997

<div class="htmlview paragraph">Today trucks account for close to half of the US passenger vehicle market. And customers expect more and more from their trucks in terms of comfort and convenience features. The key to developing Best-in-Class comfort and convenience attributes lies in applying Ergonomic principles to the vehicle interior design. Lear Corporation has recently studied 4 truck interiors in the Sport Utility Market Segment focusing on Ergonomic design issues. This paper will review the Sport Utility study results and make interior design recommendations. In this market, functionality is of primary importance to customers. Using random samples of truck owners, we have examined the functionality of door panels, consoles, controls, cupholders, cargo covers and the rear cargo area. Several factors ranging from reach criteria, tactile feel and usability through operating efforts and the motion required to operate the various features were examined. We found the limitations and strengths of some of these truck interior designs to be interesting and enlightening. Based on this work, Design Guidelines have been developed that provide Lear engineers with the tools they need to design truly User Friendly Trucks.</div>

Non-user-friendly

Tomasz Hollanek · A Peer-Reviewed Journal About · 2019

User-friendly design makes our use of emerging technologies intuitive and seamless, but it also conceals the new solutions’ influence over how we act, think and plan. In this paper, I analyze the logic of our newly developed ‘touchscreen sensibilities’ to speculate on alternative, ‘non-user-friendly’ design practices that, by invading intuitive interfaces, could make the users aware of their reliance on invisible algorithmic operations to learn and to feel. I revisit Žižek and Pfaller’s conception of ‘interpassivity’ to explore its potential as a means of resisting interactivity and inciting consciousness in contemporary speculative design. The critical interface I envision must defamiliarize consumption, prevent participation, and de-frame perception — make the user experience what lack of control feels like, and do so to encourage resistance.
