Encryption of Computer Peripheral Devices
<p>Computer peripherals, such as keyboards, scanners, printers, cameras, and Personal Data Assistants (PDAs) typically communicate with a host PC via an unencrypted protocol, leaving them vulnerable to eavesdropping techniques, such as keyloggers. An encryption system was developed that is simple …

When machines touch back : simulating-- and stimulating-- the most intimate of senses
Thomas Massie invented the Phantom, a computer peripheral for simulating the sense of touch, that became the de facto device for haptics research. The thesis recounts the story of Massie, his invention, and present and potential applications as varied as telesurgery and teledildonics. Along the way …

On the construction of an autonomous 3D machine vision system and the development of techniques for interpreting its output data
… development of a prototype of a fully autonomous computer peripheral from fast, hardwired circuitry which generates a 3D mapping of its field of view in a bank of dual ported memory. The system uses the standard active triangulation technique known as "strip-lighting" but integrates the …
