Introduction - Current Designs

• Microprocessor
• LCD
• Caution / Warning System
• Control knobs and valves
• Need a mirror!

Implementation Considerations

• Low power usage
• Connection type to EMU microprocessors
• Hardwire -- fiber optics
• Wireless IEEE 802.11x, Bluetooth, Centrino
• Heat durability and conduction of displays
• Mechanical durability
• Software takes care of language, software, and
  more.
