Full textThis undergraduate thesis examined the effect music had on idea generation in terms of number of ideas, the appropriateness of ideas and the uniqueness of ideas. Furthermore, the possible effect of the music was compared to the participant’s preferences in music and characteristics in creativity, with the intent to answer whether these factors were relevant for the possible effect of music during idea generation or not. 16 participants divided into three groups performed an experiment in idea generation. Two of the groups listened to two different types of music during the experiment, one for each group, the third generated ideas in a silent room. All participants then answered a small questionnaire, and most answered a test measuring their creative characteristics. The results were inconclusive, and the data was not enough to determine the music as a cause, still there were several interesting aspects. The group listening to repetitive music may have been affected so that they were inclined to repeat ideas, while death metal seem to have caused the second group to lose concentration and in turn produce fewer ideas. The second group did however not seem to be affected in terms of the appropriateness or uniqueness of their ideas. Even though music may have been a factor, other potential factors are upwards and downwards comparison, other social factors and the personal factors of each participant. Finally, the participant’s preferences in music and self-reported characteristics in creativity were not relevant factors in determining their ability to generate ideas.

Global operations for multinational companies today pose a particularly challenging environment for maintaining fluid knowledge transfer and effective communication methodologies. In a continuous drive for product innovation, process development often takes on lower priority to other initiatives that directly affect the design and delivery of a product. However, existing literature shows that process development and governance are critical to sustainable growth in the global marketplace. Multinational companies must recognize the need to integrate process development in a product centric enterprise to maintain effective information flow and clear communication channels. Cisco faces this challenging in maintaining effective cross-functional communication while growing through acquisition and new product developments. Cisco also faces additional complexity in managing a global network of outsourced manufacturing activities. This research analyzes two case studies in process development within the Manufacturing organization at Cisco. Specifically, these two case studies focus on driving early engagement of manufacturing concerns in the product lifecycle and effective means of facilitating this initiative.

CAD (Computer Aided Design) software allows one to describe a design in great detail and at any arbitary scale. However, our interface to CAD is still largely through traditional avenues: screen, keyboard and pointing devices. While these interfaces function for their intended purposes: text entry, pointing, browsing, etc, they are not designed for the purpose of mediating the flow of information from and to a physical workpiece. Traditional input interfaces are limited in the sense that they lack a direct connection with the workpiece, forcing the user to translate information gathered from the workpiece before it can be input into the computer. A similar disconnect also exists in the realm of output from the computer. On one extreme, the screen as an output interface forces the user to interpret and translate information conveyed graphically to the context of the workpiece at hand. On the other extreme, devices like CNC machines and 3D printers lack a way for the user to engage with the fabrication and to iteratively change design parameters in realtime. In this work, I present, two handtools that build on the philosophy of Free-D ([1] and [2]), a smart milling tool recently developed in our research group. to create a similar interface between Computer Aided Design and the physical workpiece, in entirely different application domains. The two handtools are BoardLab and Nishanchi. BoardLab is a smart, context-aware oscilloscope probe that can be used to dynamically search for just-in-time information on electronic circuit board design data and to automatically annotate the design data with measurements and test data. Nishanchi is a handheld inkjet printer and 3D digitizer that can be used to print raster graphics on non-conformable surfaces.

The relationship between design and the idea of a framework is essentially an attitude about ordering. A framework is an Intellectual proposition which can support a variety ideas, and in doing so, it provides a resolution to these intersections. The framework may be thought of as a mechanism, a jOint, for bringing together these things, that enables other levels of intervention to occur.

A strategic, technical, and organizational examination of the customer enabling effort at Intel Corporation was undertaken. The context of this study was the launch of the first boxed mobile processor in the company's history. The technical component of the work consisted of the design and development of a thermal solution to complement the boxed processor. The organizational component involved an examination of the way the team was structured to execute the project. The strategic component looked at the effect of the enabling effort on the mobile computing industry at large. Thermal solutions that met the technical specifications of the boxed mobile processor were successfully designed and prototyped. The implication of a specific thermal solution design on the level of standardization of the notebook computer platform is discussed. The conclusion is that the level of standardization in the industry is already high and is unlikely to be influenced by the boxed mobile processor. Tactics for organizational structure design are suggested for future project staffing.

Full textIncludes bibliographical references (p. 102-106).
The present work looks into the question of optimizing the performance of product launch decisions-in particular, the decisions of product development duration and manufacturing ramp-up. It presents an innovative model for measuring product launch performance and optimizing the decisions by integrating a design structure matrix model for product development, a technical cost model for manufacturing, and revenue and warranty models for customer reaction to product quality into one model using net revenue as a metric. The model shows that overlooking the interactions between product development and manufacturing leads to suboptimal decisions. Furthermore, it points out that product quality is apparently the most important driver for product launch performance and that the effects of product launch decisions on resulting product quality need to be considered. Results from case studies demonstrate that improving firm's tactical strategies will help shorten product launch and improve its performance, while factors such as low reputation or high product failure rate will require lengthening product launch to minimize their impacts. Finally, the model results are analyzed to yield direction for firms relative to strategies that can be implemented to improve product launch performance. The most effective strategy is one that improves the PD capability (higher ability to find and fix problems) and the second most effective is to improve problem solving in manufacturing ramp-up.

Stories are an essential piece of human intelligence. They exist in countless forms and varieties seamlessly integrated into every facet of our lives. Stories fuel human understanding and our explanations of the world. Narrative acts as a Swiss army knife, simultaneously facilitating the transfer of knowledge, culture and beliefs while also powering our high level mental faculties. If we are to develop artificial intelligence with the cognitive capacities of humans, our systems must not only be able to understand stories but also to incorporate them into the thought process as humans do. In order to work towards the goal of computational story understanding, I developed a novel story comparison method. The techniques I present in this thesis enable efficient and effective story comparison through story alignment. My algorithms, implemented into the Genesis system, allow the comparison and combination of stories which is a step towards enabling imagination in artificial intelligence. This capability is made possible by reducing the runtime of a previously intractable computational problem to polynomial time. In the course of this research, these algorithms have been applied to a variety of story analysis problems. By comparing short, 10 sentence summaries of the Tet Offensive and the Yom Kippur War, the system predicts information omitted from both stories. In the analysis of a brief synopsis of Shakespeare's Macbeth, my algorithm is able to correctly match actors and events between two different variations of the tale by cutting down a search space of over 10³⁰ nodes to a mere 546 nodes. My techniques also demonstrate promise as a component of a larger video analysis system. The story alignment capabilities are used to fill in missing gaps in descriptions of videos, corresponding to missing video data, by comparing video feeds to an existing video corpus.

Coughlin, Michael. "Enabling User Space Secure Hardware." Thesis, University of Colorado at Boulder, 2018. http://pqdtopen.proquest.com/#viewpdf?dispub=10791863.
Full textUser space software allows developers to customize applications beyond the limits of the privileged operating system. In this dissertation, we extend this concept to the hardware in the system, providing applications with the ability to define secure hardware; effectively enabling hardware to be treated as a user space resource. This addresses a significant challenge facing industry today, which has an increasing need for secure hardware. With the ever increasing leaks of private data, increasing use of a variety of computing platforms controlled by third parties, and increasing sophistication of attacks, secure hardware, now more than ever, is needed to provide protections we need. However, the current ecosystem of secure hardware is fractured and limited. Developers are left with few choices of platforms to implement their applications and oftentimes the choices don’t fully meet their needs. Instead of relying on manufacturers to make the correct design decisions and ensuring that these platforms are implemented correctly, we enable applications to define the exact secure hardware that it needs to protect itself and its data.
This vision leverages the emergence of programmable hardware, specifically FPGAs, to serve as the basis of user space secure hardware. The challenges of this, however, are that (i) sharing of FPGA resources among multiple applications is not currently practical, and (ii) the reprogrammability of FPGAs compromises the security properties of secure hardware. We address these challenges by introducing two systems, Cloud RTR and Software Defined Secure Hardware, which individually solve each challenge, and then combine these solutions together to realize the complete vision. Cloud RTR solves the first challenge by leveraging cloud compilation to allow for an FPGA to be shared between applications, making hardware into a user space resource. SDSHW solves the second challenge by introducing a self-provisioning system that allows for an FPGA to provisioned into a secure state, allowing for secure hardware to be run in an FPGA. We then combine these two systems to implement the user space hardware provided by Cloud RTR on the secure platform provided by SDSHW, which provides our vision of user space secure hardware.

Full textLa complejidad de hardware y software de los sistemas críticos del futuro desafía la escalabilidad de los métodos tradicionales de análisis temporal. El análisis temporal probabilístico basado en medidas (MBPTA) ha aparecido últimamente como una solución viable alternativa para la industria, para manejar hardware/software complejo. Sin embargo, MBPTA requiere ciertas propiedades de tiempo en el sistema bajo análisis que no satisfacen los sistemas convencionales. En esta tesis introducimos, por primera vez, soluciones hardware y software para satisfacer estos requisitos como también mejorar la aplicabilidad de MBPTA. Nos centramos en uno de los recursos hardware con el máximo impacto en el rendimiento medio y el peor caso del tiempo de ejecución (WCET) en plataformas actuales de tiempo real, la cache. En esta línea, las contribuciones de esta tesis siguen 3 ejes distintos: soluciones hardware y soluciones software para habilitar MBPTA, y mejoras de el análisis MBPTA en sistemas usado caches. A nivel de hardware, creamos las bases del diseño de un procesador compatible con MBPTA, y definimos diseños de cache con tiempo aleatorio para jerarquías de memoria con uno y múltiples niveles de cualquier complejidad, incluso caches unificadas, las cuales pueden ser analizadas temporalmente por primera vez. Proponemos tres nuevos enfoques de aleatorización de software (uno dinámico y dos variedades estáticas) para manejar, en una manera compatible con MBPTA, la variabilidad del tiempo (jitter) de la cache en procesadores comerciales comunes en el mercado (COTS) en sistemas de tiempo real. Por eso, todas nuestras propuestas varían aleatoriamente la posición del código y de los datos del programa en la memoria entre ejecuciones del mismo, para conseguir propiedades de tiempo aleatorias, similares a las logradas con diseños hardware personalizados. Proponemos un nuevo método para estimar el WCET de un programa usando MBPTA, sin requerir que el usuario dentifique los caminos y las entradas de programa del peor caso, mejorando así la aplicabilidad de MBPTA en la industria. Además, introducimos la composabilidad de tiempo probabilística, que permite a los sistemas integrados reducir su WCET cuando usan caches de tiempo aleatorio. Con estas contribuciones, esta tesis empuja los limites en el uso de diseños complejos de procesadores empotrados en sistemas de tiempo real equipados con caches y prepara el terreno para la industrialización de la tecnología MBPTA.

Full textComputer networks of today are based predominantly on the TCP/IP protocol suite that provides best effort service. The current IP protocol excels in its simplicity and network fault tolerance. The way it implements this simplicity and fault tolerance, however, limits the protocol's ability to provide a guaranteed Quality of Service (QoS). A first Step in providing this QoS is to incorporate the concept of flow based routing. This thesis describes an implementation of the Server and Agent based Active network Management (SAAM) system architecture that incorporates flow based routing. The architecture contains servers that maintain a database that is used for assigning each flow to a path that will provide the needed QoS.

Today's virtual reality (VR) headsets require a cable connection to a PC or game console. This cable significantly limits the player's mobility and, hence, her VR experience. The high data rate requirement of this link (multiple Gbps) precludes its replacement by WiFi. Thus, in this thesis, we focus on using mmWave technology to deliver multi-Gbps wireless communication between VR headsets and their game consoles. We address the two key problems that prevent existing mmWave links from being used in VR systems. First, mmWave signals suffer from a blockage problem, i.e., they operate mainly in line-of-sight and can be blocked by simple obstacles such as the player lifting her hand in front of the headset. Second, mmWave radios use highly directional antennas with very narrow beams; they work only when the transmitter's beam is aligned with the receiver's beam. Any small movement of the headset can break the alignment and stall the data stream. We present MoVR, a novel system that allows mmWave links to sustain high data rates even in the presence of a blockage and mobility. MoVR does this by introducing a smart mmWave mirror and leveraging VR headset tracking information. We implement MoVR and empirically demonstrate its performance using an HTC VR headset.

Full textIncludes bibliographical references (leaf 47).
Sketching, although deceptively simple and seemingly primitive, is a powerful paradigm for designing and understanding many types of engineering systems. Many problem domains, such as designing electrical circuits, developing flow charts, and modeling simple mechanical devices, rely heavily on the ability to produce sketches efficiently in order to bring out the most salient features. Engineers working in these domains usually rely on pen and paper to generate their design sketches. They do this because more advanced technologies (such as notebook computers) are often unavailable, hard to learn, or cumbersome. It is important for engineers to collaborate with their colleagues while working on their sketches. Unfortunately, collaboration on sketches that exist only as pen and paper often proves to be tedious, requiring a minimum of a fax machine and scanner. Engineers could benefit from a more efficient means of collaboration when dealing with pen and paper sketches. The technology exists to improve the current situation and make pen and paper sketches a more effective medium for collaborative design. This thesis presents an implementation of a system that achieves three goals. First, the system allows two users to collaborate on the production of a sketch in much the same way they would collaborate when composing a document (with one user composing a sketch, then accepting or rejecting the changes of his collaborator).
(cont.) Second, it allows users to watch a collaborator's additions play in real time, like watching a movie. And finally, it links the sketch recognition and simulation software developed by the Design Rationale Group at MIT with a simple pen and paper interface, allowing engineers to run simulations of their design sketches. These goals are achieved by using a commercial pen produced by the Anoto Group that is capable of storing the strokes it draws. In essence, the user creates both a hard and soft copy of the sketch simultaneously, and can share the soft copy with any collaborator. Using this model of production, sketches can be collaboratively generated, edited, and reviewed quickly and easily, all using only a pen, paper, and a standard printer.

Full textIncludes bibliographical references (p. 78-79).
Manufacturing organizations around the world strive to improve processes with varying degrees of realization. There is no right way or latest and greatest process that can guarantee success, therefore the approach, and not necessarily the process, is critical. Since every process improvement project is different, using the systems thinking approach decreases the risk of failure as the implementer(s) is/are more aware of critical items on the fringe which might otherwise be neglected. Process metrics are vital for many reasons including motivating employees, determining the level of need for process improvement, and evaluating the outcome of a process improvement project. When evaluating whether a project should be pursued, the expected results on the subsystem and other subsystems should be estimated and tied to the highest level metric, which ultimately should equate to bottom line impact. This evaluation technique ensures a positive impact on the entire system, rather than producing only a subsystem optimum. A subsystem metric indicates a project's success through the use of a hypothesis test. This usage requires that the subsystem metric, which will be used to measure a process improvement, must be stable before initiating the project.
(cont.) The individual, team, and organization all play a vital role in a company embracing systems thinking. Individuals and teams need to keep an open mind to issues outside the focus department and accept and encourage involvement of cross-functional representatives on process improvement teams. An organization where systems thinking is integral becomes a learning organization and has a higher percentage of successful projects through a systematic evaluation and approach to projects. To maintain the systems thinking culture, an organization as a whole must encourage the hiring of individuals with varied experiences and who believe in systems thinking.
