You can set automated updates for Windows 10, if you like. To download and install the manual update of the Windows 10 operating system, take the following steps: Open the Settings by pressing “Windows + I” shortcut key. Windows settings page appears.Choose the Update & Security option. More options appear.Choose Windows Update option. The Windows Update page appears as shown in Figure 10.30. Click the Check for updates button to check for new updates. The new updates are checked and found, if the updates are available online.The Important Updates Are Available message appears.Click the message to download the updates (Figure 10.31). The available updates start downloading and installing on your computer, as shown in the above snapshot.You will be prompted to restart your computer once the installations have been downloaded.Click the Restart button and wait for the updates to take effect. It may take many minutes to install the updates depending on the total size of the update.Have patience till all the updates are installed and computer restarts after many minutes.Windows 10 operating system is updated successfully.
Selecting Menu Items in Mobile Head-Mounted Displays: Effects of Selection Technique and Active Area
Published in International Journal of Human–Computer Interaction, 2019
In a wide range of mobile VR applications, users are often required to interact with one or more menus: from basic operations of movie player interfaces to action selection in interactive VR experiences and video games. Manual selection is a commonly used technique in mobile VR applications. It requires users to explicitly confirm the selection, e.g., by pressing a button or by tapping on a touch-sensitive surface. For example, the Gear VR version of Oculus Home (the main menu displayed when the user puts on the HMD, see Figure 1), and Universal Menu (a control panel displaying the various functions of the HMD like general settings and user profile management), require users to interact with GUI widgets by moving their head to place a cursor (a white dot at the center of users’ view, Figure 1) over the widgets, and selecting them by tapping on the touchpad. The same technique is employed also for many applications such as Samsung Video, a video player for Gear VR.

The experimental setup is shown in the Figure 1. Fuel A and Fuel B are kept inside the fuel tank (1) and (2) before the experiment is started. The measured quantity of fuel is shifted to fuel blender (3) using the respective valves. Fuel blender is graduated with the measurements and the required blend is mixed in the fuel blender. A four stroke compression ignition single cylinder IC engine (7) is used in the experiment. The engine has a power output of 5.2 kW with a maximum attainable speed of 2000 rpm. The cylinder bore diameter, stoke length and the length of connecting rod are 87.5 mm, 110 mm and 234 mm respectively. The compressed air is supplied through an air filter (8) from the intake manifold (6) and it enters into the cylinder during the suction stroke. The air is further compressed during the compression stroke. Fuel injection pump (4) sends a required amount of fuel blend to the fuel injector (5) that sprays the atomised fuel particles at a particular timing so that the combustion takes place inside the IC engine during working stroke. The energy is released and the mechanical output is obtained. The exhaust gases escape through the exhaust manifold (11). A silencer is used to reduce the velocity of exhaust gases thus reducing the noise level. The IC engine is connected to an eddy current dynamometer (13) for applying load conditions. The dynamometer parameters and speed measurement and settings can be adjusted with the help of a control panel (14) which is finally connected to a computer or processing unit. The parameters can also be adjusted on the display unit attached to the control panel. A secondary pipeline is taken out of the exhaust pipe and is connected to an AVL Digas 444 gas analyzer that can be used for measuring the emissions levels.

The MILP problem defined in Section 3.2 was solved using the software IBM ILOG CPLEX Optimisation Studio 12.5.1 with default settings on an Intel® CoreTM i7-4770 CPU @ 3.40 GHz with 16 GB RAM and the Windows 10 operating system. The CPU time for solving the MILP problem for one combination of ω1 and ω2 was, on average, 26.31 s considering the reduced wind power scenario sets, and, on average, 1.30 s when no wind power or solely the actual wind power scenario was considered.
