  • Patent number: 7107196
    Abstract: A method and implementing computer system are provided in which an interface device is designed to provide an interface between a remote controller (RC) device for controlling the operation of a vehicle, and a computer system such as a personal computer. The interface device is enabled to receive RC signals from the RC device and convert those RC signals to input signals which are input to a computer system. The interface device builds a translation table for converting the RC or joystick signals to appropriate input signals for the type of vehicle in a particular application. A user is thereby enabled to manipulate an RC device such as a joystick and observe how the user's input joystick movement affects the movement of a simulated controlled vehicle which is displayed on a display screen of the computer system.

  • Publication number: 20030055702
    Abstract: A system and method for generating a project plan based on determining dependencies between creative requirements and technical requirements is presented. A website project is identified which includes a plurality of Web pages and one or more executable objects. Dependencies between the Web pages and the executable object are analyzed, and a project plan is generated corresponding to the Web page requirements and the executable object requirements. Hourly run rates may be entered and a total project cost may be determined based on the hourly run rates and the total hours estimated to complete the project.
