Abstract:
In his 2011 French Studies article ‘Leroi-Gourhan and the Limits of the Human’, Chris Johnson traced André Leroi-Gourhan's ethnography of the imbrication of the biological, cultural, and technological in Le Geste et la parole (1964). Johnson placed special emphasis on how Leroi-Gourhan's narrative culminates in a speculative vision of a homo post-sapiens: a limit-experience in which our species evolves beyond the human as we understand it in an increasingly automated world. This article takes up the conceptual genealogy surrounding Leroi-Gourhan to focus on the interaction between his work and that of his unruly predecessor André Breton, and heir, Bernard Stiegler. Taking as its starting point the linguistic contagion of automatism and automation, it will argue that Stiegler's contemporary reflections on our ‘automatic society’ are rooted in a Bretonian surrealist preoccupation with the automatic – not as a category of alienation, but as a wellspring of creativity, dreams, and subjectivity unfurling in language. Understanding how contemporary French technocritical thought has filtered down from avant-garde artistic movements through anthropology in an unruly technocritical genealogy offers an opportunity to reclaim the notion of the automatic, and to reconfigure our expectations and plans for our technological future.

Abstract:
Based on the classification of automated driving by the SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers) and the working principle of the ECPBS (Electronically Controlled Pneumatic Brake system), the requirements and the control modes of the APRV (Automatic Pressure Regulating Valve) were concluded. Four structural configurations for APRV were proposed to meet the requirements of the ECPBS. To study the pressure regulating characteristics of the APRV of different structure configurations, a simulation model was established, and a test bench was built. Through experiments, the correctness and the reliability of the simulation model were verified. The pressure regulation characteristics of the APRV of different structure configurations under different control conditions were revealed, and the suitable levels in the SAE automated driving classifications for automatic pressure regulators of different structure configurations were determined; thus, the theoretical underpinning to improve driving safety and develop automated driving was provided.

Abstract:
The COVID-19 is the infectious disease caused by the coronavirus which is a respiratory pathogen. Most people (about 80%) recover from the disease without needing hospital treatment. About 20% of those who get COVID-19 become seriously ill and require oxygen, with 5% becoming critically ill and needing intensive care. Complications leading to death may include respiratory failure, acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), etc. To have a solution on this we are getting treatment from doctors, nurses and they are doing their best. But sometimes this is causing problem as they cannot give attention to each and every patient because of work load. On this situation. To help society, to help people we have a product which we can use as an attendee to the patient. This product can help patient to get his/her medications and syrups on time and majorly helps to the Covid-19 suffering patient to control patient’s oxygen level.

Vaccines are globally recognized as a critical public health intervention. Routine immunization coverage in large parts of the developing world is around 80%. Technology and policy initiatives are presently underway to improve vaccine access in such countries. Efforts to deploy AIDC technologies, such as barcodes, on vaccine packaging in developing countries are currently ongoing under the aegis of the 'Decade of Vaccines' initiative by key stakeholders. Such a scenario presents an opportunity to evaluate novel approaches for enhancing vaccine access. In this thesis I report the development of VacSeen, a Semantic Web technology-enabled platform for improving vaccine access in developing countries. Furthermore, I report results of evaluation of a suite of constituent software and hardware tools pertaining to facilitating equitable vaccine access in resource-constrained settings through data linkage and temperature sensing. I subsequently discuss the value of such linkage and approaches to implementation using concepts from technology, policy, and systems analysis.

During biodiesel production, crude biodiesel and glycerin are separated in resting tanks due to gravity and differences in density, glycerin accumulates at the base of the contender; such operation is called decantation. The decantation stage, within the production of biodiesel based on recycled oil, takes from 8 to 24 h to complete. Therefore, the development of an automatic biodiesel decanting system is presented in order to optimize the production time in the line of this bio-fuel. The process consists of applying an electric field through two electrodes at 9 kV and simultaneously applying temperature. The results of the implementation showed that the production time was reduced by up to 99% without affecting the quality of biodiesel, according to the parameters of the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM).

Abstract:
Nella "società automatica" la tecnologia è l’elemento dominante. Il filosofo francese Bernard Stiegler la definisce "pharmakon", connotandone la duplice valenza: è "rimedio" utile a supportare gli individui e incrementarne le abilità, ma può anche essere "veleno", qualora impiegata come alternativa all’Umano. L’automazione in campo industriale è una realtà consolidata da diversi decenni, ma il progressivo estendersi dei campi di applicazione dell’Intelligenza artificiale giunge oggi a interessare ogni ambito produttivo, mettendo in crisi il ruolo dell’essere umano in una molteplicità di contesti. Occorre pertanto interrogarsi sulla natura e il valore di quelle capacità umane non replicabili dai dispositivi artificiali. Nella prima parte della tesi si propone una riflessione sul progresso tecnico-scientifico attraverso l'analisi del pensiero di Stiegler. Nella seconda parte si traccia un percorso di riscoperta delle capacità umane, partendo dal tema dell’Intelligenza fino ai teorici del capability approach. Il caso di studio è stato svolto presso la società di consulenza Deloitte US e lo Interfaith Ministries of Greater Houston, allo scopo di esplorare le modalità di applicazione del progetto "Enduring Human Capabilities", una metodologia innovativa di gestione e valutazione del personale basata sul parametro delle capacità umane intangibili e trasversali, anziché su criteri di tipo quantitativo.
In the "Automatic Society" technology is crucial. The defining notion of "pharmakon", according to Bernard Stiegler, implies a double meaning: on one hand technology is a useful "remedy" to support individuals and increase their abilities, on the other hand it is a poison, a threat to human agency. Automation in Manufacture has been introduced since decades, however, the range of applicability of Artificial Intelligence is currently widening in every industry, potentially undermining the role of human beings in all contexts. It is therefore necessary to analyse the nature and the value of those human capabilities that cannot be borrowed or replicated by technological devices. The first section of this work is focused on the discourse about scientific-technical progress and the thought of Bernard Stiegler. Part Two is about the rediscovery of Human Capabilities, starting from the notion of Intelligence up to the "capability approach". The case study was carried out at the consulting firm Deloitte US and the Interfaith Ministries of Greater Houston, Texas, with the aim of exploring the implementation of a HR project named "Enduring Human Capabilities", an innovative methodology for managing and evaluating personnel, based on the assessment and development of intangible human capabilities rather than quantitative parameters.

Abstract:
L’analyse des grands volumes de données générés par la surveillance par acoustique passive long-terme et continue des baleines bleues (BW) est améliorée par la détection automatisée des signaux d’intérêt. Le travail présenté dans cette thèse s’attaque au problème de la détection et classification de signaux stéréotypés dans un contexte passif basse fréquence où les signaux sont modifiés par le canal de propagation, bruités et où le SNR varie continuellement. Les méthodes développées sont appliquées à des enregistrements issus d’OBS déployés dans l'océan Indien occidental.Premièrement, le filtrage adapté stochastique (SMF) est étendu au contexte passif en adaptant l’estimation du bruit et du SNR. Ce filtre est appliqué avec succès pour la détection des calls de baleine bleue antarctique et est comparé aux MF et Z-detector sur données annotées présentant de nombreux bruits et d’importantes variations du SNR. Les excellentes performances du SMF passif permettent d’augmenter la portée de détection jusqu'à 100 km en présence de bruit de bateau.La détection simultanée de différentes espèces s’appuie sur un schéma de reconnaissance de formes où les signaux tonaux de BW sont extraits, caractérisés et classifiés pour la transcription automatique des chants.Les signaux ainsi identifiés sont ensuite reconstruits avec des formes d'onde distinctes reproduisant les chants sous-jacents. Le succès de la reconstruction repose sur la qualité de la détection de tonales: le détecteur de crêtes est choisi pour son efficacité. Les résultats d'apprentissage et la première application non supervisée de la transcription ont révélé des résultats prometteurs et son utilité pour l’analyse multi-espèces
The analysis of the large volumes of data resulting from continuous and long-term monitoring efforts of blue whales (BWs) benefits from the automated detection of target signals. This thesis investigates the challenging problem of the detection and classification of stereotyped signals in a low-frequency passive acoustic context where (1) signals traveling long distances are deteriorated by the propagation channel, (2) overlapping noises interfere and, (3) SNRs vary continuously. Developed methods are applied to recordings from ocean bottom seismometers deployed in the western Indian Ocean.First, the stochastic matched filter (SMF) is adapted to the passive context by overcoming noise estimation and estimating the SNR automatically. This filter is successfully applied to the detection of Antarctic blue whales calls and is compared to the MF and the Z-detector on an annotated ground-truth dataset exhibiting various SNRs and noises. The passive SMF showed better performances, increasing the detection range up to 100 km in the presence of ship noise.The problematic of the detection of concurrently calling species is addressed based on a pattern recognition development for the automatic transcription of BW songs where, tonal signals are extracted, characterized, and classified. The hence identified signals are then reconstructed as separate waveforms reconstructing of the underlying songs. The success of the reconstruction relies on the quality of the tonal detector: the ridge detector was chosen for its efficiency. Training and unsupervised application revealed promising results of the proposed transcription method and its utility for multi-species analysis

Automation has the benefit of reducing human operators' workload. By leveraging the power of computers and information technology, the work of human operators is becoming easier. However, when the workload is too low but the human is required to be present either by regulation or due to limitations of automation, human performance can be negatively affected. Negative consequences such as distraction, mind wandering, and inattention have been reported across many high risk settings including unmanned aerial vehicle operation, process control plant supervision, train engineers, and anesthesiologists. Because of the move towards more automated systems in the future, a better understanding is needed to enable intervention and mitigation of possible negative impacts. The objectives of this research are to systematically investigate the attention and performance of human operators when they interact with automated systems under low task load, build a dynamic model and use it to facilitate system design. A systems-based framework, called the Boredom Influence Diagram, was proposed to better understand the relationships between the various influences and outcomes of low task loading. A System Dynamics model, named the Performance and Attention with Low-task-loading (PAL) Model, was built based on this framework. The PAL model captures the dynamic changes of task load, attention, and performance over time in long duration low task loading automated environments. In order to evaluate the replication and prediction capability of the model, three dynamic hypotheses were proposed and tested using data from three experiments. The first hypothesis stated that attention decreases under low task load. This was supported by comparing model outputs with data from an experiment of target searching using unmanned vehicles. Building on Hypothesis 1, the second and third hypotheses examined the impact of decreased attention on performance in responding to an emergency event. Hypothesis 2 was examined by comparing model outputs with data from an experiment of accident response in nuclear power plant monitoring. Results showed that performance is worse with lower attention levels. Hypothesis 3 was tested by comparing model outputs with data from an experiment of defensive target tracking. The results showed that the impact of decreased attention on performance was larger when the task was difficult. The process of testing these three hypotheses shows that the PAL model is a generalized theory that could explain behaviors under low task load in different supervisory control settings. Finally, benefits, limitations, generalizability and applications of the PAL model were evaluated. Further research is needed to improve and extend the PAL model, investigate individual differences to facilitate personnel selection, and develop system and task designs to mitigate negative consequences.

Nous abordons, dans cette thèse, les méthodes de combinaison de systèmesde transcription de la parole à Large Vocabulaire. Notre étude se concentre surl'attelage de systèmes de transcription hétérogènes dans l'objectif d'améliorerla qualité de la transcription à latence contrainte. Les systèmes statistiquessont affectés par les nombreuses variabilités qui caractérisent le signal dela parole. Un seul système n'est généralement pas capable de modéliserl'ensemble de ces variabilités. La combinaison de différents systèmes detranscription repose sur l'idée d'exploiter les points forts de chacun pourobtenir une transcription finale améliorée. Les méthodes de combinaisonproposées dans la littérature sont majoritairement appliquées a posteriori,dans une architecture de transcription multi-passes. Cela nécessite un tempsde latence considérable induit par le temps d'attente requis avant l'applicationde la combinaison.Récemment, une méthode de combinaison intégrée a été proposée. Cetteméthode est basée sur le paradigme de décodage guidé (DDA :Driven DecodingAlgorithm) qui permet de combiner différents systèmes durant le décodage. Laméthode consiste à intégrer des informations en provenance de plusieurs systèmes dits auxiliaires dans le processus de décodage d'un système dit primaire.Notre contribution dans le cadre de cette thèse porte sur un double aspect : d'une part, nous proposons une étude sur la robustesse de la combinaison par décodage guidé. Nous proposons ensuite, une amélioration efficacement généralisable basée sur le décodage guidé par sac de n-grammes,appelé BONG. D'autre part, nous proposons un cadre permettant l'attelagede plusieurs systèmes mono-passe pour la construction collaborative, à latenceréduite, de la sortie de l'hypothèse de reconnaissance finale. Nous présentonsdifférents modèles théoriques de l'architecture d'attelage et nous exposons unexemple d'implémentation en utilisant une architecture client/serveur distribuée. Après la définition de l'architecture de collaboration, nous nous focalisons sur les méthodes de combinaison adaptées à la transcription automatiqueà latence réduite. Nous proposons une adaptation de la combinaison BONGpermettant la collaboration, à latence réduite, de plusieurs systèmes mono-passe fonctionnant en parallèle. Nous présentons également, une adaptationde la combinaison ROVER applicable durant le processus de décodage via unprocessus d'alignement local suivi par un processus de vote basé sur la fréquence d'apparition des mots. Les deux méthodes de combinaison proposéespermettent la réduction de la latence de la combinaison de plusieurs systèmesmono-passe avec un gain significatif du WER.

Abstract:
In general, computer software vulnerabilities are defined as special cases where an unexpected behavior of the system leads to the degradation of security properties or the violation of security policies. These vulnerabilities can be exploited by malicious users or systems impacting the security and/or operation of the attacked system. Since the literature on vulnerabilities is not always available to developers and the used tools do not allow detecting and avoiding them; the software industry continues to be affected by security breaches. Therefore, the detection of vulnerabilities in software has become a major concern and research area. Our research was done under the scope of the SHIELDS European project and focuses specifically on modeling techniques and formal detection of vulnerabilities. In this area, existing approaches are limited and do not always rely on a precise formal modeling of the vulnerabilities they target. Additionally detection tools produce a significant number of false positives/negatives. Note also that it is quite difficult for a developer to know what vulnerabilities are detected by each tool because they are not well documented. Under this context the contributions made in this thesis are: Definition of a formalism called template. Definition of a formal language, called Vulnerability Detection Condition (VDC), which can accurately model the occurrence of a vulnerability. Also a method to generate VDCs from templates has been defined. Defining a second approach for detecting vulnerabilities which combines model checking and fault injection techniques.

Since the early 2000's, the US Navy has endeavored to decrease the Total Ownership Cost (TOC) of their ships through a decrease in Operating and Support costs. This led to a large-scale effort by ship program managers to decrease crew size on current and prospective ships. Also during this time period, the rapid-onset improvement of technology led to the increase and complexity of automated systems and equipment installed on ships. These combining trends have caused ships to evolve from a fully manually operated system into a socio-technical system. But does increasing automation to support minimally manned ships lead to the expected performance? To answer this question, a thorough understanding of how the Navy currently determines its manpower requirements was obtained. The purpose was to discover the driving factors that influence manpower requirements, which are mission, installed systems, maintenance and training. Next, the process that the Navy uses to develop and manage technology was explored. The purpose was to discern the driving factors that influence technology selection, which are capability, maturity and cost. Since the Defense Acquisition System (DAS) is the framework that intersects manpower requirements, technology selection and ship design, a brief overview of DAS is given. Using key acquisition documents from DDG-51, LCS, and DDG-1000 programs, the selection, classification and implementation of automated technology on these platforms were explored. This data was then combined with the baseline manpower model to highlight key manpower and automation strategies for each platform and then study the resulting performance. From these case studies, it was determined that automation as a manpower reduction strategy gives mixed cost and readiness performance results. Although automation leads to lower manpower costs, increases in maintenance, training and shore support also occur. Some of these costs were offset through the use of human system integration early in the ship design, however, the maintenance and training costs of high-degree-automation systems was higher than estimated.

In 2003 Kiva Systems (now Amazon Robotics) introduced a new type material handling automation to the world. The system is based on the principle that the physical infrastructure that contains inventory should be mobile. Kiva achieved this remarkable advancement by employing a fleet of robots to move shelving to human operators. Broadly, these types of systems are defined in the literature as multi-agent robotic systems. Amazon acquired Kiva Systems in 2012 to incorporate the technology into their operations. The goal of this thesis is to optimize the throughput of warehouses employing multi-agent robotic automation. It is assumed that extracting inventory from the automated system is the limiting factor in maximizing throughput (i.e. downstream process are unconstrained). Two strategies are advocated: 1) performing velocity segregation of inventory within the automation via a bifurcation between fast selling and slow selling inventory, 2) maximizing pick rates through policies that increase worker retention. It will be shown that velocity segregation increases machine efficiency by increasing the efficiency of delivering inventory to human operators. This assertion will be investigated by developing a theoretical understanding of how inventory velocity impacts machine efficiency and simulating different types of stow strategies impact on system efficiency. It is estimated that some stow strategies can increase machine efficiency by as much as 30%. It will also be shown that the number of man-hours worked by inexperienced pickers explains practically all of the variability of aggregate pick cycle times and hence pick rates, which motivates the argument for worker retention. Together, these two modifications are estimated to increase throughput by 10% over current baseline.

Abstract:
AbstractThe assembly of cables in industrial production is still a largely manually performed task. Therefore, automatic cable assembly offers much potential in terms of efficiency. The major challenge of automating this task lies in the formlessness of the cables, which entails unknown and inconstant states of the assembly objects. In this paper, a process chain and a concept are presented for the automated cable assembly in an industrial context. The process chain consists of five process steps, which are used to structure existing approaches and system configurations for automated cable assembly from a production technology perspective. The emphasis is on the coverage of the process steps and the system technology. The presented concept represents an approach for robotic cable assembly focusing on the flexibility to process multiple product variants. Basis for the ability to handle a variety of variants is the avoidance of a forced shape on the cables. For this approach, system technology as well as challenges and possible solutions are presented.

Abstract:
Most multi-engine helicopters are certified to operate in Category A. This means that in the event of an engine failure during takeoff or landing, the helicopter can either land safely on the helipad or continue the takeoff and establish level flight. As part of an Airbus effort to improve flight safety, the Category A takeoff from helipads was automated and first certified on the H160 helicopter. Automatization warrants correct maintenance of the flight path during takeoff and ensures a timely initial response to engine failure. On the H145 helicopter, development of the automatic Category A takeoff included elevated helipads and was adapted to the already certified H145 Category A takeoff procedures. Several hundred automatic takeoffs were performed on the H145 to develop, fine-tune, and certify the automatic takeoff mode including failure and abuse cases. Flight tests confirmed excellent mode performance, reduction in pilot workload and gain in flight safety.

Full text
Abstract:
Automated vehicles (AVs)—and the automated driving systems (ADSs) that enable them—are increasing in prevalence but remain far from ubiquitous. Progress has occurred in spurts, followed by lulls, while the motor transportation system learns to design, deploy, and regulate AVs. Automated Vehicles: A Human/Machine Co-learning Experience focuses on how engineers, regulators, and road users are all learning about a technology that has the potential to transform society. Those engaged in the design of ADSs and AVs may find it useful to consider that the spurts and lulls and stakeholder tussles are a normal part of technology transformations; however, this report will provide suggestions for effective stakeholder engagement.

Abstract:
This master thesis explores the challenges for waste management business models in the field of textiles regarding the requirements of the circular economy, as well as improvement potentials in the current framework conditions. It is concerned with the research question: "Is it advisable to change the frame-work conditions at meso or macro level, with regard to business models for waste management companies in the textile sector that are oriented towards the requirements of the circular economy, and - if so - in what way?” The approach of the study is based on the delta analysis of the e Society for Institutional Analysis at the Darmstadt University of Applied Sciences. It compares the target state of the normative requirements with the actual state of the textile and waste management framework conditions and attempts to identify the gaps (the delta). Based on the delta, it develops approaches that are intended to help reduce the gaps. The thesis develops three business models for the target year 2025 in different areas: an exchange platform for sorters, recyclers and designers, an automatic sorting plant and a plant for fibre-to-fibre recycling of mixed materials. It is becoming clear that these business models cannot meet the target requirements for the circular economy. The analysis identifies the remaining gaps in the framework conditions as the main problem. For example, insufficient innovation impulses and the lack of competitiveness of secondary raw materials inhibit the actors from applying and using new technologies and business models. Restricted access to knowledge and information, as well as a lack of transparency between the actors, also prove to be problematic. In order to answer the research question, the study recommends altering the framework conditions at meso and macro level. It proposes a platform for cooperation between designers, the introduction of a material declaration system and an eco-design guideline for textiles as possible development options. In addition, this work offers a matrix of criteria to help the actors test and improve their new waste management business models regarding their suitability for the circular economy. The analysis is carried out from an outsider's perspective on the entire textile industry. It therefore cannot cover and deal with all aspects and individual circumstances of each player in detail. The necessary changes in the framework conditions that have been identified can therefore be used as a basis for further investigations.

Eastman, Brittany. Legal Issues Facing Automated Vehicles, Facial Recognition, and Privacy Rights. SAE International, July 2022. http://dx.doi.org/10.4271/epr2022016.

Full text
Abstract:
Facial recognition software (FRS) is a form of biometric security that detects a face, analyzes it, converts it to data, and then matches it with images in a database. This technology is currently being used in vehicles for safety and convenience features, such as detecting driver fatigue, ensuring ride share drivers are wearing a face covering, or unlocking the vehicle. Public transportation hubs can also use FRS to identify missing persons, intercept domestic terrorism, deter theft, and achieve other security initiatives. However, biometric data is sensitive and there are numerous remaining questions about how to implement and regulate FRS in a way that maximizes its safety and security potential while simultaneously ensuring individual’s right to privacy, data security, and technology-based equality. Legal Issues Facing Automated Vehicles, Facial Recognition, and Individual Rights seeks to highlight the benefits of using FRS in public and private transportation technology and addresses some of the legitimate concerns regarding its use by private corporations and government entities, including law enforcement, in public transportation hubs and traffic stops. Constitutional questions, including First, Forth, and Ninth Amendment issues, also remain unanswered. FRS is now a permanent part of transportation technology and society; with meaningful legislation and conscious engineering, it can make future transportation safer and more convenient.

Abstract:
The article concerns the issue of data science tools implementation, including the text mining and natural language processing algorithms for increasing the value of high education for development modern and technologically flexible society. Data science is the field of study that involves tools, algorithms, and knowledge of math and statistics to discover knowledge from the raw data. Data science is developing fast and penetrating all spheres of life. More people understand the importance of the science of data and the need for implementation in everyday life. Data science is used in business for business analytics and production, in sales for offerings and, for sales forecasting, in marketing for customizing customers, and recommendations on purchasing, digital marketing, in banking and insurance for risk assessment, fraud detection, scoring, and in medicine for disease forecasting, process automation and patient health monitoring, in tourism in the field of price analysis, flight safety, opinion mining etc. However, data science applications in education have been relatively limited, and many opportunities for advancing the fields still unexplored.

Relationship Between ‘Civil Society’ and ‘Democratic Freedoms’. Institute of Development Studies, June 2022. http://dx.doi.org/10.19088/k4d.2022.086.

Full text
Abstract:
Notwithstanding the point that definitions of ‘civil society’ and ‘democracy’ are themselves actively debated, this rapid review defines democracy as ‘liberal democracy’, which goes beyond elections to include liberal components such as equality before the law, individual liberties, rule of law, and independent judiciary and legislature that constrains the executive (Grahn and Lührmann, 2020, p.8). Civil society is defined as “an organizational layer of the polity that lies between the state and private life composed of voluntary associations of people joined together in common purpose” (Coppedge et al. 2016, p.413). Thus, this rapid review seeks to find out what evidence is there on the relationship between civil society and democratic freedoms? The overall sense from the vast array of literature that looks at the relationship between civil society and democratic freedoms is that civil society is important for democracy, but there is no “automatic flow” from one to the other. Rather, the relationship is contingent on the nature of civil society, in addition to other dynamic, context-specific factors. Most of the evidence found during this rapid review was in studies that break down this broad topic into smaller sub-questions. They tended to be case studies that look at specific elements of ‘democratic freedoms’ (e.g., human rights, or anti-corruption), focus on specific countries, or were related to specific mechanisms (e.g., collective action) or processes (e.g., democratic regression). Each of these sub-topics is itself a large and contested area of research. According to some scholars, these case studies are overwhelmingly positive about civil society’s relationship to liberal democratic norms and practices. Some studies show that democratic regression occurs where the demands of a highly mobilised civil society cannot be effectively channelled by the party system or occur in contexts characterised by ethnic and regional differences or socio-economic inequalities.
