Full digital computer automatic implement of fault inspection and intelligent monitoring for mine hoist
Published in Heping Xie, Yuehan Wang, Yaodong Jiang, Computer Applications in the Mineral Industries, 2020
According to the operation technology of mine hoist an implement scheme of full digital computer automation operation for fault inspection and intelligent monitoring is proposed in this paper. The computer hardware system and software structure is designed and analysed. The monitoring for safety operation is carried out, including the monitoring of over-speed, continuous speed, speed point by point, slip rope. The full automatic operation and protection for mine hoist is implemented. It is shown from site operation results that the scheme suggested in this paper has good operation status and meets the requirement of the operation technology of mine hoist.

Designing a full custom chip is a complex task and can only be done by expert IC designers. Often a team of people is required both to reduce the design time (Fey and Paraskevopoulos, 1986) and because one person may simply not have all the design expertise required. Also, sophisticated and powerful computer hardware and software are needed. Typically, the more sophisticated the computer aided design (CAD) tools are, the higher the probability that the chip will work the first time. Given the long design and fabrication cycle for a full custom chip and its high cost, it is important that as much as possible of the design be automated, that design rule checking should be utilized, and that the circuit simulation be as complete and accurate as possible.
The FRIEND21 Framework for Human Interface Architectures
Published in Constantine Stephanidis, User Interfaces for All, 2000
Thus, the provision of support for social and individual activities in the information society is progressively becoming more important than increasing the speed and efficiency of computers. The dynamic adaptation (Nonogaki et al., 1991) of user interfaces to facilitate this changing environment is a particularly significant requirement. Of course, computer hardware and software technologies will continue to advance. Still, because it is the human interface that mediates between computers and the human users, it is natural to think that the requirement for adaptation will be met with a suitable human interface that can adapt to a changing environment.

Running fast, Sleptsov net opens prospects of mass parallel hyper speed computations, especially with their hardware implementation in the form of computing memory that allows us to avoid the traditional processor-memory bottleneck. We have a true graphical concurrent programming language in the sense that it uses nothing save graphs, text is considered as comments only. An additional advantage is formal verification of concurrent programs during their model-driven development. High-level hierarchical programs, composed via substitution of a transition by a subnet, are compiled into a plain Sleptsov net which is considered an analog of machine (assembler) language. Recently this technology was implemented in software tools using emulators of Sleptsov computer hardware. Full scale hardware implementation is a prospect for a new kind of mass parallel computer of future. Manifold results of simulation of cellular automata and other biology inspired systems by Sleptsov nets position this new paradigm of computation among models for unconventional computing.

ICTs help people to structure their lives around the possibilities it provides – this process is called digitalization.9 Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) are identified as a means to promote economic and social development by decreasing the cost and increasing the efficiency of communication and cooperation. ICTs include a complex, heterogeneous, and interrelated set of goods, applications, and services used to produce, process, distribute, and transform information.10 They include the outputs of industries as diverse as telecommunications, television and radio broadcasting, computer hardware and software, computer services, and electronic media.11 These digital technologies influence the social norms and values by changing the exposure to different ways of life.12
Fifty years in home computing, the digital computer and its private use(er)s
Published in International Journal of Parallel, Emergent and Distributed Systems, 2020
At the end of the 1970s computers had even been recognised by schools as a ‘future technology’ and entered the curricula of elementary and high schools. In the beginning, the focus was on the comprehension of computer hardware and how software could affect it. Single board computers were mostly used for this teaching: their construction from a kit step-by-step with modules for different functions up to a running 8-bit microcomputer with high level programming languages and peripherals (keyboard, monitor, printer) (Figure 6) As a kind of echo from the era of homebrew computing and its magazines a culture of playfully learning computer science autodidactically established. Even for those self-made systems, magazines and books with type-in programme listings emerged.
