MAJOR 1.0 © Copyright Geo-Pioneers Ltd.

Program for GPS Network adjustment, transformation and user defined regulation.
As the different types of cadastral points have their own methods of measurement, coordinate computation and quality assurance criteria, In order to obtain a license from the surveying authorities, this software allows surveyors to define the measuring method (which includes the observation net architecture and quality assurance criteria for the measurements), as well as the computation method of each cadastral point type (which includes net adjustment, transformation, results quality assurance, and final report format). The software executes all this process automatically with informing the user about the results of every step till generating the final report for submitting to the surveying authorities.

Main Features:

  • Gross Error Detection method (using Statistical testing & Loop misclosure)
  • Licensed point library.
  • Least Square Adjustment engine.
  • RTK reliability assurance method.
  • Transformation method.
  • Method for calculating Cadastral Boundary points.
  • Regulation and Quality Assurance.
  • Smart Formal Report builder.

Highway Speed-Profile

Jan 18, 2021 by emilkhell 0 Comments



The goal of transportation is generally stated as the safe and efficient movement of people and goods. To achieve this goal, designers use many tools and techniques.
One technique used to improve safety on roadways is to examine the consistency of the design. Design consistency refers to highway geometry’s conformance with driver expectancy. Generally, drivers make fewer errors at geometric features that conform with their expectations.

Figure (3) – Speed Profile, main screen
An inconsistency in design can be described as a geometric feature or combination of features with unusual or extreme characteristics that drivers may drive in an unsafe manner. This situation could lead to speed errors, inappropriate driving maneuvers, and/or an undesirable level of accidents. This program provides an estimate of the expected 85th percentile speed profile of cars and trucks. It also provides an estimate of the design consistency.
It is intended to be used for preliminary highway planning and as an estimation model to identify inconsistencies in horizontal design of two-lane highways. It is not intended to be used as a speed limit determination tool.

Design Considerations

  • Code optimizing : a long and complicated algorithms required an optimal code for decreasing calculations time and performances.
  • Friendly Graphical User Interface: all user interaction are on one single screen, which divided to control panel and window display for the results.

EUM Electrod Posisionning Configuration

Main Features

  • Simultaneously multi channel Logging, form different devices, using different technology:
    • USB: A real time application receive data from Analog to Digital device connected thought a USB, Supporting a different levels of sampling rates frequencies.
    • Serial Port RS232:  The software also connected to a 3D positioning sensor connected through a serial input.
    • User interaction: collects patient information, system configuration and settings.
  • Different layouts for the offline replay which allows a transparently review of the logged data.

Design Considerations

  • Development Environment: Choosing MFC visual studio, was fair enough to ensuring high performances in acquisition, saving and display.
  • Object Oriented: OOP is claimed to give more flexibility, easing changes to the program in the future.
  • Memory management: An advanced buffer design and memory management are required to allow such “real-time data acquisition” and
    “signal graphic display” software, to run far form any loss of data and all under the optimized system resources.

Tretone

Jan 18, 2021 by emilkhell 0 Comments

Audio platform based on general MIDI sound generator.

We built platform for musical therapeutic instruments for people with special needs. The system is a biofeedback stand alone system that measures the grip force as an input and produces sound as an output.
The system includes display and control switches for browsing the different programs. The output sound is correlated with the input according to different predefined algorithms. The system is based on two chips and grip force sensors. The core of the system is a micro controller “TI MSP430”. The sounds are general midi sounds produced by a standard sound generating chip.

Design Considerations Noise:

The sound of the audio should be clean of noise which requires special attention in board design and in power supply design.
Memory size: The memory in the system is limited to 8Kbyte flash memory. Special care was given to optimizing the code. Real time sampling: The sampling of the inputs should happen at fixed times regardless of any parallel activity that the microcontroller is occupied with.
Product life time: The used components need to serve the project for at least 5 years and preferably 10 years.
The design was executed for AnalogTone.
