Summary: This study presents a fabrication process for interdigitated capacitive (IDC) sensors that can detect different pressure levels of finger touch. The sensors can be used to develop multimode human-machine interfaces (HMIs) for various applications, such as mouse cursor control, numeric keyboard, and smart door locking system. The presented HMIs have the potential to contribute to future developments in intelligent user interfaces, computer peripherals, security applications, ATMs, and smart home systems.

Summary: This paper presents a multimodal user interface design based on touch and speech modes for controlling in-car devices. The research collects a dataset of Persian voice commands in real conditions and aims to solve the technical challenges of speech-based interaction. Evaluation results show that the speech input mode is more efficient and less distracting for drivers compared to the touch input mode.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of button features on user performance in smart home interfaces. The results showed that button size and graphics/text ratio significantly influenced user performance in both age groups, while icon style only affected the senior group. Elderly participants preferred larger buttons with larger texts and skeuomorphic icons, while young participants preferred equal-sized graphics and text.

Summary: With the development of technology, future tractors will become more intelligent. However, the complex interfaces and control components may overload drivers' cognitive load. Therefore, a method to evaluate the control interface from the perspective of cognitive load is proposed. The research investigates the influence of design elements on behaviour time and establishes a behaviour time model, which effectively predicts the behaviour time of operating interfaces. An evaluation index based on behaviour time is proposed to assess the design level of the interface. The validity of the evaluation method is verified, providing theoretical guidance for tractor's human-machine interfaces from the perspective of drivers' cognitive load.

Summary: User interface is a crucial element in an information system, however, the use of text in the interface can be challenging for certain users. To address this, studies have proposed text-free interfaces based on non-textual aids. These interfaces have implications for storage and processing requirements. In this paper, a concept hierarchy scheme is proposed to present a dynamic interface based on user characteristics. The study explores the physical and psychological characteristics of elements and evaluates user preferences. The findings suggest that colors, alignments, mental models, and look & feel are essential criteria in interface design.

Summary: The field of correlated nanoelectronics combines correlated oxide electronics and semiconductor nanoelectronics. By controlling complex material properties at nanoscale dimensions, quantum technologies for computation, simulation, and sensing can be developed. Heterostructures and nanostructures formed at the interface between LaAlO3 and SrTiO3 exhibit unique behavior that can be controlled using reversible methods such as conductive atomic force microscope lithography and ultra-low-voltage electron beam lithography.

Summary: The awareness of individuals' biological status is crucial for the creation of interactive and adaptive environments. A multimodal cryptographic bio-human-machine interface (CB-HMI) is developed to translate user's touch-based entries into encrypted biochemical, biophysical, and biometric indices, allowing for user authentication and decryption. By upgrading common objects with CB-HMI, interactive solutions for driving safety and medication use can be achieved.

Summary: This study evaluates the perceptual quality of six categories of games with character elements in their icons using a two-stage perceptual matching procedure. Highly visual matching icons were selected and their affective matching quality was measured through the semantic differential method and correlation analysis. The research provides methods for improving the perceptual quality of game icons.

Summary: This paper proposes a method called Animation2API that mines API knowledge from existing apps and recommends APIs for UI animations. By utilizing a database of mappings and temporal-spatial feature vectors, Animation2API identifies similar animations and provides developers with a list of recommended APIs. The empirical evaluation shows significant improvements in success rate and precision, while user study demonstrates the practicality and effectiveness of Animation2API.
