The Compact Disc (CD) was invented in 1995 by James Russel, who was granted 22 patents related to its development. However, the CD did not become popular until 1980 when it was mass manufactured by Philips. Originally developed to store and play back sound recordings, the CD format was later adapted for data storage as well. In October 1982, Sony and Philips began marketing the CD to the public, with Philips contributing the manufacturing process based on their LaserDisc technology. The CD is now used for storing recorded music, data, videos, archives, and texts in various formats including CD-RW, VCD, SVCD, Photo CD, and Enhanced Music CD.

In a future where digital services and physical products come together, it seems like the tech community is having the greatest influence on our world. In some ways, this is great, but we seem to have forgotten those designers with the talent for crafting physical forms that can fit into our hands, our homes and our lives.
For a future Internet of Things, the UX community needs to better engage Industrial Designers in what we do. This talk explored how we do that.
NB, this is a talk intended for a UX audience, and is meant to be a starter of an ongoing discussion between both UX and Industrial Design fields. If you want to be part of the discussion, please get in contact.
Cloud computing provides on-demand access to shared computing resources like servers, storage, databases, networking, software, analytics and more over the Internet. It offers benefits like cost savings, agility, focus on strategic initiatives and convenience of accessing resources from anywhere on any device. While it reduces the need to purchase and manage your own IT systems, risks like loss of connectivity, regulatory compliance and security need to be considered for cloud adoption. The document discusses different cloud service and deployment models and considerations for organizations in utilizing cloud computing.
This document discusses the Don't Repeat Yourself (DRY) principle of software development. It advocates separating business logic code from technical code to allow each to evolve independently and enable reuse. Attributes and domain-specific languages can be used to describe aspects to a technical engine that automates common functions, preventing redundant code and maintaining independence between layers. Maintaining orthogonality and identifying invariants are keys to enabling reuse according to the document.

The Next Generation of Flash User ExperienceKevin Suttle
Kevin Suttle is a Flash Platform UX Architect who has been working with Flash for over 5 years. In his presentation, he discusses the current "battle for platform supremacy" between Flash and HTML5. However, he argues that users just want great content and experiences, and both Flash and HTML5 are capable of providing that. He outlines many new user experience focused APIs in Flash Player 10.1 for touch, gestures, accessibility and more. He advocates for an approach of "mobilizing, not minimizing" applications to provide adaptive experiences across devices using Flash technologies like AIR.

Dashboards - Driving Change or Driving Us InsaneMartha Horler
This document discusses data dashboards and common mistakes in their design. It defines a dashboard as a visual display of important information to achieve objectives that is monitored at a glance. The document outlines 13 common mistakes in dashboard design, such as exceeding a single screen or supplying inadequate context. It also provides examples of software that can be used to build dashboards, such as Excel, Tableau, and R. Attendees participated in an activity to design a sample dashboard for their work and discussed how dashboards can help inform decision making.
The document discusses accessibility (a11y) considerations for design systems. It begins by introducing Mercari and its goals of conducting research and development to benefit society. It then discusses why accessibility is important to ensure products can be used by all, highlighting the large numbers of people with disabilities or situational limitations. The document provides examples of accessibility principles like ensuring content is perceivable through proper color contrast and text sizing, as well as being operable through keyboard navigation and touch target sizes. It emphasizes the importance of consistent, predictable and understandable interfaces. The summary concludes by noting the document discusses testing for accessibility and going beyond minimum standards to be as inclusive as possible.
The document discusses user experience (UX) and introduces Microsoft's UX platforms. It covers key concepts in UX like function, aesthetics, interaction and process. It then outlines Microsoft's tools and frameworks for developing applications, including ASP.NET AJAX for web apps, Silverlight for rich internet apps, and WPF for desktop apps.

Agile environments can be both challenging and rewarding places for technical writers. Appropriate documentation is essential to the efficient production, testing, and acceptance of software. One way to be Agile with documentation to evolve it in parallel with the system development — delivering user stories, use cases, UI designs, system tests, manuals, and even online help — with just enough detail, and just in time. Come and explore some ways that you can be Agile with your documentation. This presentation isn't intended to provide a silver bullet solution, but it may give you some ideas beyond those famous (infamous?) 3x5 index cards.
This document discusses CNC programming for sheet metal applications. It provides examples of parts that have been manufactured including components for commercial dishwashers and airline seats. The author has experience programming sheet metal parts from drawings using specialized software to customize features for forming and welding.

How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17Celine George
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.
Temple of Asclepius in Thrace. Excavation resultsKrassimira Luka
The temple and the sanctuary around were dedicated to Asklepios Zmidrenus. This name has been known since 1875 when an inscription dedicated to him was discovered in Rome. The inscription is dated in 227 AD and was left by soldiers originating from the city of Philippopolis (modern Plovdiv).

This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.
The Rehabilitation Act was signed in to law 1973. Two important sections of the Act affect agencies when they are purchasing or distributing electronic information to their workforce. They are sections 501 and 508 of the Rehabilitation Act. Section 501: Section 501 of the Rehabilitation Act protects Federal employees with disabilities from discrimination on the basis of their disability in Federal employment. Section 508 (As Amended): In 1998, Section 508 of this Act was amended to require access to electronic and information technology provided by the Federal government. The law applies to all Federal agencies when they develop, procure, maintain, or use electronic and information technology. Section 508 deals specifically with the methods of distributing or disseminating electronic information via computers. This includes but is not limited to websites, web based learning solutions and documentation. Section 508 is very different from Section 501. Section 508 is only enforceable with respect to newly-procured (after June 21, 2001). Section 508 also has much more specific standards that are designed to meet the needs of a broad cross-section of users with disabilities--- but generally still favors the sight impaired. Guidelines were developed to prevent agencies from developing materials that were not consistent with other agencies. An agency must consider the Section 508 standards, even if there are no employees with disabilities who can currently use that technology. From the Section 508 web site: “Section 508 was enacted to eliminate barriers in information technology, to make available new opportunities for people with disabilities, and to encourage development of technologies that will help achieve these goals.” Subpart b) of Section 508 is composed of 6 standards: 1194.21-1194.26. The only standard applicable to PDF documents is Standard 1194.22 (Web-based intranet and internet information and applications.) This standard is composed of 16 checkpoints: (a) Text Tags (b) Multimedia Presentations (c) Color (d) Readability (e) Server-Side Image Maps (f) Client-Side Image Maps (g)&(h) Data Table (i) Frames (j) Flicker Rate (k) Text-Only Alternative (l) Scripts (m) Applets and Plug-Ins (n) Electronic Forms (o) Navigation Links (p) Time Delays The checkpoints are based on the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Group (WCAG) Priority 1 checkpoints. W3C Priority 1 ensures that it is possible for all groups of people to access the document. However, Priority 1 does not ensure that the document is highly accessible or very easy to use. You can think of it as “basic accessibility”. WCAG’s checkpoints were originally written for HTML, but their wording and goals are generic enough to apply to other technologies. Each checkpoint has a priority level assigned by the Working Group based on the checkpoint's impact on accessibility. [Priority 1] A Web content developer must satisfy this checkpoint. Otherwise, one or more groups will find it impossible to access information in the document. Satisfying this checkpoint is a basic requirement for some groups to be able to use Web documents. An example would be alternative text. [Priority 2] A Web content developer should satisfy this checkpoint. Otherwise, one or more groups will find it difficult to access information in the document. Satisfying this checkpoint will remove significant barriers to accessing Web documents. An example would be a heading. [Priority 3] A Web content developer may address this checkpoint. Otherwise, one or more groups will find it somewhat difficult to access information in the document. Satisfying this checkpoint will improve access to Web documents. An example would be a table summary.
Ensure that the Alt-text conveys the true meaning of the non-textual element that is relevant to the learning experience. If you are limited in the alt-text field in html by the number of characters you can use make sure to use the descriptive text field for more detailed information.
Ensure captioning is used on multi-media elements and that the captioning is of sufficient size and style to be easily and quickly read. Also make sure that the text (if using scrolling text) moves at a speed for even the slowest reader. But balance that with the need for the text to keep pace with the information in the video. There are also animated sign language characters you can program and use not to replace captioning, but to supplement it.
Make sure any information that is conveyed in color does not loose meaning when you remove color.
Use sufficient contrast to make the colored information meaningful.
Make sure any information that is conveyed in color does not loose meaning when you remove color from the equation.
Use sufficient contrast to make the colored information meaningful.
If you remove all formatting and structure from the document or module, does the information still flow in a “readable” manner and make sense. Tables are a good example. If you took all the formatting out of the table (no column or row headers and no data cells) – does the information still flow logically and make sense?
If you choose to use graphics with hotspots to provide information to the user, make sure you additionally provide text links to the same information.
Tables need to be formatted with the appropriate labels such as column and row headers and data cells so a screenreader will associate the appropriate header with the correct data cell. Try to use html tables where possible and not graphics of tables with text descriptions. This can be challenging to do with off the shelf e-learning authoring tools.
If you use frames (Typically menus are housed in frames in elearning) in your learning, make sure that the learner can easily and quickly navigate with keystrokes from one frame to the other and back. Additional note: If you use popup windows make sure the focus transfers back and forth to the appropriate window when one opens or closes.
If you use flashing elements, test to verify that they flash between 2 and 55 hz.
If you use scripts or macros in your training, (even those built in to off the shelf authoring tools) make sure that the information used in script is available to all your users. If you do this with a form, and the script validates that the learner has either incorrectly or correctly entered information you can add a verbal signal (bell or buzzer) to provide auditory feedback. You may also need to add feedback text to the screen for validation for those with hearing impairments. Scripts are used for a variety of functions in learning programs such as the user typing in their name and then the program references them through the training by name, etc.
If your users need to download a plug in or applet, make sure there is an easily accessible link for your users to download the application.
The same rules that one would use for tables applies to forms. If they are designed and structured properly, the assistive technology will detect that and read the information appropriately for the user to complete the form.
If there are duplicate links to the same location, allow the user to disable repetitive links and limit the amount of information they are required to review.
If there is a need for the user to complete a test or activity in a certain period of time, give them the option of extending that time because assistive technologies are not always as efficient as ordinary access to electronic information.
[Priority 1] A Web content developer must satisfy this checkpoint. Otherwise, one or more groups will find it impossible to access information in the document. Satisfying this checkpoint is a basic requirement for some groups to be able to use Web documents. An example would be alternative text. The 16 checkpoints in Section 1194 fall in to the priority one category. Example: If you do not provide alt text, users will find it impossible to access information in your document or module.
[Priority 2] A Web content developer should satisfy this checkpoint. Otherwise, one or more groups will find it difficult to access information in the document. Satisfying this checkpoint will remove significant barriers to accessing Web documents. An example would be a heading. Example: Properly formatting headings allow a learner to easily scan at a high level the information in a document or module, the same as you and I would if we were only looking for specific information.
[Priority 3] A Web content developer may address this checkpoint. Otherwise, one or more groups will find it somewhat difficult to access information in the document. Satisfying this checkpoint will improve access to Web documents. An example would be a table summary. Example: Table summaries allow the learner to get a high level review of the information in the table and determine if they need to review the information in detail.
Accessibility is a general term used to describe the degree to which a product is accessible. Not just by those with a disability, but to anyone. The term accessibility is generally associated with the disabled and their ability to access various forms of assistive technology. Or in other words, technology that was adapted so that a person with a disability could use the technology. Screen readers and voice recognition software are the two most commonly used forms of assistive technology. Screen readers enable a person with a sight impairment to hear information (using text to speech) that is presented on a computer screen. Voice recognition allows persons with mobility impairments to access a computer without the use of a keyboard or mouse. Voice commands and dictation are articulated (speech to text) in order to control the computer. Keep in mind that accessibility does not necessarily equate to usability. Usability relates more to the ability of one to use a product efficiently. For many years, accessibility did not equal usability. But the devices now available to end users such as JAWS, Window-Eyes, Hal (made by Dolphin), Dragon Naturally Speaking, VoicePower, MAGic (magnification software), WYNN (software used to assist those with cognitive disabilities) and a whole host of other technologies are leading the way in making accessibility = usability.
Components and accessibility The set of accessible components available with Flash CS4 Professional includes: Button Checkbox Radio button Label TextInput TextArea ComboBox ListBox DataGrid Window Alert Understanding how assistive technologies handle animation When a movie is loaded, it will notify the user that “it is loading”, “done”. Once it has “read” that, it moves on to the next element in the “tabbing order”. And it continues on that way until it has read all of the elements in the tabbing order. Keep your content (elements) “static” so that it does not repeat. Rotating Banner Example. Halt Flash Events keystroke (Alt+Shift+M) for the Window-Eyes screen reader. This keystroke allows a screen reader user to suspend Flash notifications on the page. Pressing the keystroke again allows the user to resume Flash notifications.
Demos
Components and accessibility Text is available via the alt-text dialogue box Accessible movie elements Providing text equivalents for entire movies Keyboard access It is important that all controls that can be manipulated via the mouse also be accessible via the keyboard. This is intended to support users with mobility impairments as well as screen reader users. Assign keyboard shortcuts for most essential controls Captions Standards support Adobe Flash CS4 Professional software provides a component that allows developers to easily add captions to either FLV or H.264 video in Flash. New captioning component You use the FLVPlaybackCaptioning component with one or more FLVPlayback components. Accessible interface The captioning support in Flash is complemented by support for keyboard and screen reader interaction with the video playback controls, making Flash the most accessible way to deliver video on the web. Control over audio playback Music and audio that plays as the site loads presents a serious challenge to screen reader users. Accessible interaction Users who rely on keyboard access can utilize a variety of familiar shortcuts to interact with the video controls. Buttons such as Play/Pause, Stop, Rewind, Mute, and Closed Captions can be tabbed to and activated with the spacebar key. Slider controls such as the volume and playhead position controls can be accessed via the arrow keys, and the Home and End keys can be used to go directly to the beginning or end of the range. The volume slider also accepts numeric keys to set the playback audio levels in one quick step. Users who use screen readers will find appropriate names for the video player controls that ensure that each control's purpose is clear. Some controls require that the screen reader is in form interaction mode (which is Forms mode in JAWS or Browse Off mode in Window-Eyes) because screen readers often utilize arrow keys and other shortcuts for other purposes. For example, many screen readers use right and left arrow keys to read individual letters in text and control labels, so these keys are not available outside of form interaction mode, as expected by users.
There is no magic bullet for creating accessible learning. It takes brainstorming and creativity to find solutions that reach beyond “compliant” to truly usable and meaningful. Think outside of the box to generate ideas and then test their validity by putting yourself in the shoes of the person using assistive technology. Understand the technology!
Tabbing order is a very important issue when making information “usable”. Does the information and the elements on the screen flow through the tabbing order in an order that is meaningful.
As each element is highlighted and read, you can provide descriptive text and instructions regarding the purpose of that element and what you want the learner to decipher or do with it. Example: If this were a safety module and you wanted the learner to do a “what’s wrong in this picture” type activity you could attach an alt-text to each individual graphic in the background with descriptive text, if necessary and explain that if you want them to select this particular graphic as having a “safety issue”, then press enter or something.
Once again, make sure the user can quickly navigate back and forth between the menu and the information on the screen. Possibly assign a special hotkey combination to access the menu from anywhere on the screen.
Feel free to use Flash movies if you take the time to narrate (and caption) them properly so that the movie has meaning if you either cannot see or hear it.
Feel free to create your own navigation rules or suggestions as long as you outline them in the Instructions so the learner can easily remember them and use them. It is a good idea to have a simple link on each page (accessible by one keystroke) where the learner can go to when they want to refresh their memory of the instructions. You can work with people who know the technology to design instructions and find out what features their technology already has built in to navigate and use in your product. You can always have macros built in to your module to accommodate their needs, outside traditional functionality.
Be Creative! Although a visually impaired user can tab through each block on the actual crossword puzzle, it is not very “usable” for them to complete this puzzle. By adding text boxes under the clues, the user can enter their answers in the box and for each successive clue the completed letters will autofill. It is also set up so that the screenreader will read the clue and then say “text box with xxxx number of letters” so the person will know how many letters, and on successive clues, what autofilled.
Once again – this is a modified example of a frame. The words you need to find are in essence the “menu” or “frame” and then all the letters on the other side are individual text letters that can be read as one tabs through each of them. Although cumbersome all the learner has to do – sighted or not – is select a letter in the word and then press the ctrl+arrow key to continue selecting until the word is complete- then hit enter. I use this example because I want to demonstrate how important keystrokes and tabbing order are for accessibility, not because I feel this would be a good game for someone with a disability to play.
Matching – Drag and Drop These can pose problems with Flash. Mostly because they require a mouse and people who use assistive technology typically do not use a mouse. So – change it to a “Drop Down” format, for them. It’s the same concept and is accessible. Use sounds to indicate whether or not they got the answer correct. (i.e., ding or buzz) Mutiple Choice are typically accessible, if built correctly. Fill in the blank and short answer are also accessible, if built correctly.
