Part of a video walkthrough for Museum Madness. In this part, I do the Computer Technology exhibit, which involves working with two circuit boards and solving a jigsaw puzzle. Then I do the Robots exhibit, where a rogue robot has stolen parts from other robots to make itself a super-robot. We disable the Rogue Robot and return its pieces to all the broken robots

May 7, 2008 lecture by Steve Yegge for the Stanford University Computer Systems Colloquium (EE380).
Dynamically typed programming languages such as Perl, Python and Ruby have been gradually gaining popularity and momentum for the past fifteen years. However, dynamic languages are also arguably the biggest source of controversy in the industry. In this talk, Steve Yegge debunks some of the issues considered central to the debate, and then shares some novel techniques people are using to produce static-quality tools and performance in dynamic languages.

IBM’s STRETCH program for the Government’s Los Alamos lab, later named the IBM 7030 when sold commercially, was IBM’s audacious gamble at creating the world’s most advanced computing system: about 100 times faster than the most advanced computer working today, according to then IBM chairman Tom Watson, Jr.
Design of the IBM STRETCH began in the summer of 1956, with a project team that eventually grew to 300 by 1959. When introduced, the STRETCH was considered a failure within IBM as it did not meet advertised expectations: though it was indeed the fastest computer then available, it was only 30 to 40 times faster than other systems (not 100 times as advertised).
The Success of STRETCH: Even though initial commercial expectations were not fully met, the technical, manufacturing, and managerial experience that came from creating STRETCH fed directly into other IBM projects, including its later System/360 – the single most successful family of computers (by revenue) of all time.
Concepts pioneered for STRETCH are now used in the world’s most advanced microprocessors. These include:
- Multiprogramming, enabling a computer to juggle more than one job at a time
- Memory protection, preventing unauthorized memory access
- Memory interleaving, breaking up memory into chunks for much higher bandwidth
- Pipelining, lining up instructions in a queue, so that the computer doesn’t have to wait between operations
This historic film was produced in 1981 by Brigham Young University to document the story and technical features of the IBM 7030 (STRETCH) System as well as the University’s accomplishments using the system. The film was donated to the Computer History Museum along with the University’s Stretch system when it was decommissioned.

This is the front end to our smart house project (or smart office as is the case here). It uses Microsoft speech recognition and Guile 3D agent software (featuring Nicole). The speech synthesis is AT & T voices.
The program is written in a .Net language and an earlier version can be downloaded for free (minus the Agent Nicole of course).
http://www.massey.ac.nz/~tjmoir/speech.html
Of course speech recognition in a relatively noise-free environment is no longer such a challenge and the real work is applying adaptive signal processing to this to improve the hit rate in a noisy environment. This is the main thrust of our research. The recognition part is our interface with the house or office. The present system of course has great potential for disabled people. The devices on this video are powered by the parallel port or via USB to a local Triac switching box we made. I have since added X10 devices which are more convenient and “off the shelf”. The X10 devices can be placed anywhere in a house without extra wiring. I will post another video soon.
On Windows XP only SAPI4 speech sythesis is supported by Micropsoft for Agents. However, SAPI 5 voices can also be used concurrently which is like a voice-over.

Texas State Technical College offers the Computer Maintenance Technology (CMT) program, in which you can get an in-depth education in all aspects of computer systems integration. The program focuses on computer hardware components, operating systems and peripheral devices. While studying computer maintenance at TSTC, you can learn computer operations, electronics, troubleshooting and repair skills. The curriculum also covers Local and Wide Area Networks (LANs and WANs), data communications, telecommunications and computer integration. You can gain hands-on experience designing, installing and maintaining computer systems in stand-alone, LAN and WAN environments. TSTC Waco’s Computer Maintenance Technology also offers a one-year certificate program that provides the education and training needed for Home Technology Integrators. This program will provide intensive hands-on training in areas such as structured cabling, security systems, home automation, home entertainment systems and computer networks.

A British film about computers from 1969. It is presented here as a historical look at how computers used to be in the 1960’s when PC’s and Macs were over 10 years away.
Shown in three parts. Sorry, but the 16mm print is rather battered!

Presented at UIST (ACM Symposium on User Interface Software and Technology) http://www.acm.org/uist/
PAPER ABSTRACT:
Previous work has demonstrated the viability of applying offline analysis to interpret forearm electromyography (EMG) and classify finger gestures on a physical surface. We extend those results to bring us closer to using musclecomputer interfaces for always-available input in real-world applications. We leverage existing taxonomies of natural human grips to develop a gesture set covering interaction in free space even when hands are busy with other objects. We present a system that classifies these gestures in real-time and we introduce a bi-manual paradigm that enables use in interactive systems. We report experimental results demonstrating four-finger classification accuracies averaging 79% for pinching, 85% while holding a travel mug, and 88% when carrying a weighted bag. We further show generalizability across different arm postures and explore the tradeoffs of providing real-time visual feedback.
