    By pop29684

    This is an example (with code) on how to cycle user messages on the Keyence KV-D20 display. The code is written as a sub-routine that is easily incorporated into a Keyence KV series PLC. The code is proven to work - I've used it many, many times. A brief rung-by-rung commentary explains the basic operation of the code.

    Here are some pictures and a PDF of a diagram to build a DC sensor test box. It's dual NPN or PNP output with an off/on switch. All parts purchased at Radio Shack for under $20.00. Do not buy the same size box buy the next size bigger project box than what is shown in the pictures. I had a hard time getting two 9 volts crammed into this tiny enclosure.

  20. Controlling another application with VB.NET

    By panic mode

    Small demo how to write program that uses another application (any). In this demo (VB.NET source included) remote application is Windows Calculator.
    Things to note:
    - launch check if running and close remote app
    - issue commands such as minimize maximize and restore (note that this works even if actual icons in upper right corner are grayed out this only prevents access in normal use not when accessed remotely like through API)
    - read and write text from/to remote app (also works if user cannot see remote app like when minimized etc.).
    - issue mouse clicks (to be effective should not be affected by user moving mouse cursor and should not interfere with user interaction with computer)
    - it can focus on and control specific instance of the application (try to run several Calculators) etc.
    panic mode
    PS. To really see what is inside remote app you want to manipulate (check class caption etc.) you will need program like ShowWindow http://www.thescarms.com/VBasic/ShowWindow.aspx

  21. Content-centric networking

    By neilr216

    Content-centric networking (also content-based networking) is a new approach to the architecture of computer networks notably pioneered by Van Jacobson.
    Its founding principle is that a communication network should allow a user to focus on the data he or she needs rather than having to reference a specific physical location where that data is to be retrieved from. This stems from the fact that the vast majority of current Internet usage (about 90% [1]) consists of data being disseminated from a source to a number of users.
    The current architecture of the Internet revolves around a conversation model created in the 1970s to allow geographically distributed users to use a few big immobile computers.[2] The content-centric approach seeks to make the basic architecture of the network to current usage patterns.
    The new approach comes with a wide range of benefits one of which being building security (both authentication and ciphering) into the network and at the data level.
    Despite all its advantages this idea doesn't seem to map very well to some of the current uses of the Web (like web applications where data is generated on the fly according to user actions) or real-time applications like VoIP and instant messenging. But one can envision an Internet where content-centric protocols take care of the diffusion-based uses of the network creating an overlay network while genuine conversation-centric protocols stay on the current infrastructure.
