AbstractOrienting attention in the space around us is a fundamental prerequisite for willed actions. On Earth, at 1 g, orienting attention requires the integration of vestibular signals and vision, although the specific vestibular contribution to voluntary and automatic components of visuospatial attention remains largely unknown. Here, we show that unweighting of the otolith organ in zero gravity during parabolic flight, selectively enhances stimulus-driven capture of automatic visuospatial attention, while weakening voluntary maintenance of covert attention. These findings, besides advancing our comprehension of the basic influence of the vestibular function on voluntary and automatic components of visuospatial attention, may have operational implications for the identification of effective countermeasures to be applied in forthcoming human deep space exploration and habitation, and on Earth, for patients’ rehabilitation.

The effective capture of legacy knowledge and information during all aspects of the product development cycle is one of the biggest remaining challenges in engineering companies. Life Cycle Engineering requires the capture of engineering information and knowledge created during design sessions to support knowledge reuse, product reengineering and training. In the past, many attempts have been made to determine if this is possible; however, those that are partially successful are very time consuming, expensive to implement and interrupt the engineers’ creativity. This work investigates and demonstrates new and novel paradigms for knowledge and information capture by adapting and applying a well recognised knowledge capture methodology to suit the non-intrusive automated real time logging, capture and post processing of engineering knowledge using a head-mounted display virtual reality (VR) design system. This logging is accomplished during individual cable harness design tasks carried out by 12 cable harness design engineers from five industrial partners to demonstrate the effective, unobtrusive and automatic capture and representation of various forms of engineering design knowledge and information. The formats were subsequently evaluated by the engineers to determining those they consider best at conveying design knowledge and information for other engineers.

Syncope may be a manifestation of many diseases. The etiology is often difficult to determine. Much effort, time, and expense have been required to determine a diagnosis. A thorough history and physical examination are essential (Table 3). Several clinical pearls may be of help in the diagnosis of syncope: (a) the most important elements in the evaluation of syncope are a detailed history and physical examination; (b) syncope is a common problem in young healthy adults and the elderly; (c) a heavy meal is a specific cause of syncopy in the elderly (postprandial), however this etiology often goes unrecognized; (d) syncope is caused by 1 of 3 mechanisms: decreased cardiac output, systemic vascular resistance, or cerebrovascular disease; (e) reflex-mediated syndromes (vasovagal) are common causes of syncope in young adults, and orthostatic hypotension is an important cause of syncope in the elderly; and (f) the 1-year mortality of cardiac syncope (18%-33%) is significantly higher than that from non-cardiac syncope (0%-12%). A proven and useful tool has recently been advanced to aid in the evaluation of syncope. The Reveal Plus insertable loop recorder has auto activation that allows automatic capture and recording of arrhythmic events. Patient activation is an option. The recorder lasts 12 to 14 months and has proven to be a valuable and reliable cost-effective asset in our quest to evaluate syncope.

Docking ring is a circular hatch of spacecraft that allows servicing spacecraft to dock in various space missions. The detection of the ring is greatly beneficial to automatic capture, rendezvous and docking. Based on its geometrical shape, we propose a real-time docking ring detection method for on-orbit spacecraft. Firstly, we extract arcs from the edge mask and classify them into four classes according to edge direction and convexity. By developing the arc selection strategy, we select a combination of arcs possibly belonging to the same ellipse, and then estimate its parameters via the least squares fitting technique. Candidate ellipses are validated according to the fitness of the estimation with the actual edge pixels. The experiments show that our method is superior to the state-of-the-art methods, and can be used in real time application. The method can also be extended to other applications.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to explore how people differently create meaning from photos taken by either a lifelogging camera (LC) (i.e. automatic capture) or a mobile phone camera (MC) (i.e. manual capture). Moreover, the paper investigates the different changes in the interpretative stance of lifelog photos and manually captured photos over time to figure out how the LC application could support the users’ iconological interpretation of their past. Design/methodology/approach A 200-day longitudinal study was conducted with two different user groups that took and reviewed photos taken by either a LC or a MC. The study was structured in two phases: a photo collection phase, which lasted for five days (Day 1‒Day 5), and a three-part semi-structured interview phase, which was conducted on Days 8, 50 and 200. Findings Results revealed that the interpretative stance of the LC group changed greatly compared to the MC group that kept a relatively consistent interpretative stance over time. A significant difference between the two groups was revealed on Day 200 when the lifelog photos provoked a more iconological and less pre-iconographical interpretative stance. This stance allowed the viewers of lifelog photos to systemically interpret the photos and look back upon their past with different viewpoints that were not recognized before. Originality/value This paper contributes to further understand the dynamic change in interpretative stance of lifelog photos compared to manually captured photos through a longitudinal study. The results of this study can support the design guidelines for a LC application that could give opportunities for users to create rich interpretations from lifelog photos.
