Full textAbstract:
Over the last decades, fault injection attacks have been demonstrated to be an effective method for breaking the security of electronic devices. Some types of fault injection attacks, like clock and voltage glitching, require very few resources by the attacker and are practical and simple to execute. A cost-effective countermeasure against these attacks is the use of a detector circuit which detects timing violations - the underlying effect that glitch attacks rely on. In this paper, we take a closer look at three examples of such detectors that have been presented in the literature. We demonstrate four high-speed clock glitching attacks, which successfully inject faults in systems, where detectors have been implemented to protect. The attacks remain unnoticed by the glitch detectors. We verify our attacks with practical experiments on FPGA.

Full textAbstract:
Traditionally a large role has been attributed to the spread of clocks and watches in fostering a ‘modern’ awareness of time. Yet, little research is available that empirically enables signs of growing time awareness to be linked to the distribution of time-keeping devices. In this article both these phenomena are brought together using two independent sets of evidence that permit the hypothesis that clocks and watches contributed to a heightened consciousness of time to be tested. While the ownership of clocks and watches was socially skewed, highly gendered and unevenly distributed over time, time awareness – as exemplified throughout numerous court cases – was essentially none of these.

Full textAbstract:
My research topic concerns how learners use the analogue clock (as a human tool) to make meaning of clock time. This study is informed by a Vygotskian socio-cultural framework to learning and development based on the concept that human activities take place in cultural contexts and is mediated by tools. In this qualitative study I report on the learners meaning making of analogue clock time using the physical clock. This study was carried out at a South African primary school through an intervention programme after school. The research employed a case study method. It involved a purposeful sample of 4 learners (n=38) from the grade four class group based on their response to a baseline assessment task. The selected sample of learners included learners across the ability spectrum to gain rich insight into how learners make meaning of analogue clock time. Data collection and analysis was done through an interpretive approach. The video-taped interviews and intervention programme was my main instrument of data collection. Other research instruments included document analysis of responses to baseline assessment tasks. These research tools yielded the data collected and also allowed for triangulation. My research topic explored how the learners make meaning of analogue clock time. In particular the two-way movement of how the learners use the physical tool namely the analogue clock to develop meaning and how the clock mediates clock knowledge in return. The findings of the study suggest that learners’ find it difficult to conceptualise analogue clock symbols and signs, in particular, in Afrikaans the half hour concept, in relation to the two hands. The physical analogue clock is also important to support and extend clock knowledge in solving time-related problems. This shows the power of the analogue clock to mediate meaning making of clock time in young learners. Because of its potential to improve teaching and learning analogue clock time in primary school it is therefore recommended that the analogue clock time be further researched in South Africa.

O relógio inteligente é um novo tipo de eletrônico para o punho com funcionalidades idênticas as de um celular, que também é utilizado por motoristas durante a tarefa de condução do veículo, representando uma nova forma de distração do motorista, e risco aumentado de acidentes no trânsito; uma demanda da ergonomia cognitiva. O objetivo do presente estudo foi determinar o efeito do uso de relógio inteligente sobre motoristas experientes e novatos durante a condução simulada de automóvel, na tarefa de seguir o automóvel à frente, através da análise de movimento dos olhos, da cabeça e do desempenho na condução. Vinte motoristas experientes (EXP) e vinte motoristas novatos (NOV) realizaram a tarefa de seguir um carro à frente por um percurso de 2 km em quatro condições: somente seguir o carro (CAR), seguir o carro e receber uma notificação de texto no relógio inteligente (NOT), seguir o carro que freará de modo inesperado e brusco (FRE) e seguir o carro que freará de modo inesperado e brusco e, adicionalmente, receber uma notificação de texto (FNOT). Os dados do olhar, da cabeça e do desempenho na condução do automóvel foram submetidos à análise de variância de grupo (EXP, NOV) por condição de freada (CAR, FRE) por condição de notificação (NOT, FNOT) por tentativa (1, 2, 3). O desempenho da condução de veículo foi afetado pela freada do carro à frente e pelo uso do relógio inteligente ao receber notificação. Ao receber uma notificação no relógio, mudava-se o foco atencional do trânsito para realizar a leitura de texto, aumentando as chances de ocorrência de acidente. Experientes e novatos apresentaram diferentes estratégias para viabilizar a leitura do texto no relógio; experientes mostraram-se mais eficientes, mas ambos grupos desviaram o olhar da pista em detrimento da atenção, o que resultou em condição de risco.
Smartwatch is a new kind of electronic to be worn on the wrist with features similar to those of mobile phones, they are also being used by drivers during their driving task, representing a new form of distraction for drivers and increasing chances of traffic accidents. The goal of this project is to determine the use effect of smartwatches on experienced and novice drivers while driving on a simulated driving task following a vehicle ahead, through the analysis of eye and head movement and driving performance in a driving simulator. Twenty experienced drivers (EXP) and twenty novice drivers (NOV) will follow a car ahead for 2 kilometers in four conditions: follow a car ahead (CAR), follow a car ahead and receive a text message notification on the smartwatch (NOT), follow a car ahead that brakes abruptly (FRE) and follow a car ahead and receive a text message notification on the smartwatch while the car ahead brakes abruptly (FNOT). The gaze, head movement and driving performance data will be subjected to group variance analysis (EXP, NOV), with or without braking (CAR, FRE), with or without smartwatch notification (NOT, FNOT) and by trial (1, 2, 3). The diver’s performance showed to be affected by the car’s ahead braking and by the use of smartwatch during reading tasks. Attentional focus was shifted away from the road to the smartwatch when drivers tried to perform the reading task, thus increasing the chances of an accident. Experienced and novice drivers used different strategies to perform the reading task while driving; experienced drivers were more efficient but both groups shifted their gaze away from the road in detriment of their attention to the traffic, which resulted in risk conditions.

Gentry, Karen Lee. "The Forgiveness Project." Digital Archive @ GSU, 2010. http://digitalarchive.gsu.edu/english_theses/81.
Full textAbstract:
The Forgiveness Project includes a critical introduction that defines the author’s approach to the short-short form as well as an explanation of how historiographical metafiction can work to memorialize. The first section contains primarily short-short stories that address the themes of motherhood, small tyrannies, happy liars, caregiving and the clichés of grief. A collection of linked short stories follows, revolving around elusive forgiveness. On the night of July 17, 1977, Juanita Lee, a bridge tender in South Florida, was abducted by two men and executed in the Everglades to silence her opposition to the demolition of an Intracoastal Waterway bridge. Twenty-two years later her daughter, Jill, now a Washington D.C. lobbyist who views the world through the cynical lens of her life’s work, is confronted with a plea for forgiveness via an organization called “The Forgiveness Project,” representing one of her mother’s killers.

Full textAbstract:
This study uses the Tibetan mandala, a Buddhist meditation aid and sacred artform, as a secular critical model by which to analyse the complete fictions of author David Mitchell. Discussing his novels, short stories and libretti, this study maps the author's fictions as an interconnected world-system whose re-evaluation of secular belief in galvanising compassionate ethical action is revealed by a critical comparison with the mandala's methods of world-building. Using the mandala as an interpretive tool to critique the author's Buddhist influences, this thesis reads the mandala as a metaphysical map, a fitting medium for mapping the author's ethical worldview. The introduction evaluates critical structures already suggested to describe the author's worlds, and introduces the mandala as an alternative which more fully addresses Mitchell's fictional terrain. Chapter I investigates the mandala's cartographic properties, mapping Mitchell's short stories as integral islandic narratives within his fictional world which, combined, re-evaluate the role of secular belief in galvanising positive ethical action. Chapter II discusses the Tibetan sand mandala in diaspora as a form of performance when created for unfamiliar audiences, reading its cross-cultural deployment in parallel with the regenerative approaches to tragedy in the author's libretti Wake and Sunken Garden. Chapter III identifies Mitchell's use of reincarnation as a form of non-linear temporality that advocates future-facing ethical action in the face of humanitarian crises, reading the reincarnated Marinus as a form of secular bodhisattva. Chapter IV deconstructs the mandala to address its theoretical limitations, identifying the panopticon as its sinister counterpart, and analysing its effects in number9dream. Chapter V shifts this study's use of the mandala from interpretive tool to emerging category, identifying the transferrable traits that form the emerging category of mandalic literature within other post-secular contemporary fictions, discussing works by Michael Ondaatje, Ali Smith, Yann Martel, Will Self, and Margaret Atwood.

Full textAbstract:
M.B.A.Increased environmental pressure in a firms' local market are forcing many companies to consider markets outside of their own to do maximize their profitability. According to Henisz (2000) when expanding internationally, a firm's management often must contend with a new culture, a new language, a new social system, new market structures, and a new political system. Titan, a premier brand in the Indian sub-continent aspires to assess the Gulf Cooperation Countries (GCC) market for watches. Despite global market recessionary trends, the luxury watch market in the GCC reflects a constant thirty percent increase in business over the previous year, as measured on a monthly comparative basis. The research will indicate that Titan cannot simply apply the local strategies used in India, as this global market possesses different characteristics to those experienced in the GCC, the importance if brand utility may provide a distinct differential over the major competitors in this market. Though the model that is derived will be based on the Titan experience, it will also be applicable to other items in the luxury goods market, and may be utilised to facilitate market entry for all luxury goods which will be categorised in the same band as watches, examples of these include fashion accessories, sunglasses, perfumes and jewellery. The aim of the study was to develop a model to guide the market entry process for new watch brands under the Titan umbrella into the GCC market.

Abstract It is not an easy novel to read, but Virginia Woolf’s Mrs Dalloway is the easiest of novels to summarize. ‘A day in the life of a middle-aged upper-class London woman planning her party’, is how the Oxford Companion to Twentieth Century Literature encapsulates it. The long prelude to the novel is Clarissa Dalloway’s morning walk through the West End on a brilliant June morning (the 13th) in 1923 to select the flowers for the entertainment she and her politician husband are giving that evening. One of the pleasures of Mrs Dalloway is that you can follow quite exactly the route taken by Clarissa on her morning walk. OUP has helpfully provided a map for pedestrianminded readers. They should also set their watches. Woolf originally called her novel ‘The Hours’, and Clarissa Dalloway’s early morning peregrination through the London streets is precisely measured by the chimes of two clocks, Big Ben and the slightly belated St Margaret’s (the parish church of the House of Commons). It is with Mrs Dalloway’s morning excursion that I am concerned –– specifically, the puzzle of how she makes her return journey.

Abstract This chapter underlines the importance of repairing and maintenance of clocks and watches in the history of horology, a subject very little studied until now. It discusses the role of the activity in the economic life of horologists, as well as several of the methods used across the centuries, and the difficulties involved. It discusses the question of lubrification in detail. It covers the deontology of clock and watch restoration in the twentieth century. In conclusion, it then outlines the manner in which this practice has developed in the context of wider considerations of the conservation of art and archaeological objects.

Abstract This chapter describes in chronological order the use of music in clocks and watches, from the simplest chiming of bells, to elaborate melodies, combined with lifelike automaton figures and covers the period from the Late Middle Ages to the twentieth century. The chapter covers the mechanisms of both clocks and watches. It also discusses the important export trade to the Far East, as well as the development of singing bird mechanisms, and provides examples of the latter, including those of Jaquet Droz and Leschot, the most prestigious makers of mechanical singing birds in the second half of the eighteenth century.

Abstract This wide-ranging survey explores the decoration of clocks and watches in the stylistic context of different periods. It links the decoration and embellishment of watches to those prevalent for the decoration of other small objects of personal use, and those of clocks to architectural trends. The chapter then examines the use of different materials, including gold, silver, jewels, and enamel, as well as engraving. It then discusses the important part played by the use of pattern books, and describes in detail the growth in importance of the concept of ‘design’ in twentieth-century production.

Abstract Clocks and watches from the late Middle Ages have supplied the subject matter of both literary works and paintings. This chapter surveys the changing representation of horological items through both words and visual means from the fourteenth to the twentieth centuries. It uses examples from artists and writers, and uses the context of time and its portrayal to show the importance of clocks and watches in the collective consciousness of art. It examines both their symbolic and allegorical use through books, paintings, art installations, and films. Finally, it brings together the connection between the ticking clock, the passing of time, and human mortality.

Mechanical watches and clocks are intricate mechanical devices that fascinate millions of people around the world. In general, a mechanical watch is made of some 100 components. Among these components, the escapement plays a vital role in controlling the timekeeping accuracy. An escapement usually consists of an escape wheel, which receives energy provided by the mainspring through the gear train, and a pallet fork, which controls the oscillation. Owing to its complex nature, few have built a mathematical model for the escapement. In this paper, we present a physical-based simulation model for the Graham Escapement (the oldest and the most common escapement for clocks), and a model for the Swiss Lever Escapement (the most popular escapement for mechanical watches). The models are developed based on a commercial software system RecurDyn® [1]. The simulation helps to understand the kinetics as well as the dynamics of the escapements.

Full textAbstract:
Effective methods of computational synthesis for mechanical systems must represent both function and structure in order to generate physical designs with desired behaviors. To this aim, a parallel grammar for mechanical synthesis was developed based on a Function-Behavior-Structure design model. This parallel grammar was implemented for the domain of mechanical clocks and watches in order to demonstrate the flexibility and strengths of the approach. Designs were produced using a fully parametric parts library. Incorporating performance considerations, generate-and-test methods were then used to produce clock designs that satisfy different sets of spatial constraints to demonstrate the potential of the method for general mechanical synthesis problems.

Full textAbstract:
It is generally believed that the first escapement regulator invented is the waterwheel steelyard-clepsydra device made in ancient China by Su Song during the Northern Song Dynasty (960~1,127 AD). The device, which was a unique feature of the ancient Chinese escapement regulators, was used in Su’s famous clock tower, Shui Yun Yi Xiang Tai (Water-Powered Armillary Sphere and Celestial Globe). Evidence found in certain historical literature, however, suggests that the astronomical clocks made before the Northern Song Dynasty were also equipped with escapement regulators. But due to insufficient literature on the specific design of the devices and the fact that none of the earlier escapement regulators have been recovered, it has been very difficult to recreate the original mechanism design. Therefore, in view of this problem, we wish to present a reconstruction design procedure for the ancient machinery in this paper. By combining the innovative mechanism design methodology with the mechanical evolution and variation theory, we can systematically recreate all feasible and appropriate designs that are consistent with the science theories and techniques of the subject time period. In this paper, the waterwheel steelyard-clepsydra device made by Su Song was adopted as the original design for the reconstruction of ancient Chinese escapement regulators. Utilizing the procedure proposed in this paper, the reconstruction designs we recreated included 12 six-bar and eight-joint waterwheel steelyard-clepsydra devices, among which 10 were with four-bar linkages and 2 were with rope-and-pulley mechanisms. These results can be further used in the study of ancient Chinese mechanical clocks, especially in reconstruction research.

Full textAbstract:
Sports broadcasting companies have been actively advancing various information visualization technologies in recent years. The current technologies and related literature predominantly focus on the professional aspects of sports instead of the general audience. According to statistical data, as much as 49% of the population in the United States are not fans of the National Basketball Association (NBA). Therefore, this study aims to broaden the NBA audience base by exploring the preferences and understanding of individuals with low experience regarding the basketball broadcast interface and the five visualized information elements. The goal is to enhance the viewing experience and economic benefits of NBA broadcasts. This study utilizes three NBA broadcasting platforms, Bally Sports, ESPN, and TNT as experimental samples. Each sample comprises 10 participants. Through an online survey, we selected 30 participants with low basketball experience for the experiment. The assessment steps included: (1) Participants watched broadcast videos and employed the think-aloud protocols. (2) Applied comprehension quizzes to assess participants' understanding. (3) Participants will fill out scales including the Evaluation of Media Entertainment Experience, NASA-TLX, Hedonic and Utilitarian Attitudes, and Re-viewing Intention, reflecting their evaluations and experiences regarding the broadcast visuals. (4) Conduct semi-structured interviews to gather insights and suggestions regarding participants' thoughts on broadcast interfaces and the five visualized informational elements. Results revealed that: In comparing the three sports broadcasting platforms, TNT performed the best on the Evaluation of Media Entertainment Experience scale, Hedonic and Utilitarian Attitudes scale, and Re-viewing Intention scale. ESPN was rated next, followed by Bally Sports. According to the NASA-TLX scale results, Bally Sports scored the highest in workload, followed by ESPN, and TNT scored the lowest. Most participants indicated that TNT's interface is simple and easy to understand, and ESPN's interface presents information clearly. In contrast, Bally Sports' interface has an excess of visual elements, which leads to a suboptimal viewing experience and a higher viewing workload. In the five visualized information elements, participants' preferences for viewing information were ranked as follows: (1) on-court shot clock, (2) lower third-player stats, (3) player position tracking, (4) shot probability, and (5) three-point shot distance. Most participants believed that the on-court shot clock provides excitement and a sense of engagement, while the lower third-player stats allow for a better understanding of each player. The player position tracking was regarded as an essential tool for the participants' understanding of team tactics, player positioning, and basketball movements. Most participants considered shot probability less important and most expressed a reluctance to see information about three-point shot distance, deeming it challenging to understand and lacking significance. This study provides insights into the perspectives and evaluations of NBA broadcast interfaces from individuals with low basketball experience and their preferences and comprehension levels regarding visualized information. The findings can guide future designs of basketball broadcast interfaces.
