Download | My Valet Project was aimed at providing synchronization of various data between Android based phones and personal computers as well as to view, manage and synchronize user’s personal data online. My Valet project focused on the modification of the Goggle phone Android 0.9 applications as well as open source Funambol Sync Server and Funambol Outlook plug-in to synchronize the Media data. The developed solution allows synchronizing of Contacts, Events (Calendar), Pictures/Photo, Music, and Video. As soon as the new version of Android SDK was released, the Calendar and Weather service were ported to versions 0.9 and 1.0 of Google Android frameworks. |

Download| The project consisted of creating Google phone widgets for weather, stock, calendar, as well as a widget for configuration and managing of the created widgets. |
| PSA performed investigation and estimation for implementation of Media library and GPS functionality on the Android platform with the use of additional map service and 3D party library for media. The media library enables a user to listen to the radio and satellite radio as well as to watch TV, and view a picture gallery. The GPS module allows getting location of the device, show location on the map, plan route and manage the Point Of Interest database with the ability to show them on the map. 2D and 3D modes are supported for the GPS Map functionality. The speech module is used for announcing a route and the nearest POI. |
| The Home Personalization Application project performed customization of the main user interface component which is the home screen. PSA modified the Home application so that it can be customized with adding four more“virtual screens” which contain widgets such as Weather, Shortcut, and Global Time. The new programmable interface for widgets was defined as well as various widgets’ components. |
| e.Message is a small application that runs on the desktop computer and displays music driven animations and encourages users to integrate text messages into them. The user then can send the messages with dancing missives over the Internet. Development performed by PSA included graphical user interface for the application. The graphical user interface requirements involved developing buttons and dialog boxes to allow the creation of electronic messages. |
| HDTV driver project requirements were to implement ARIB plane and alpha blending capabilities which were not available in WindML and pJava subsystems. PSA modified the single-plane WindML graphics driver by adding ARIB plane and alpha blending functionality for the Cougar TL850 and developed several demo programs. The alpha blending capability improved the UGL 1.2 version. Three new functions were added to provide hide/show planes that improved graphics performance when a plane is not displayed in the screen. |
| The project objective was to develop more full featured user interface capabilities and graphics rendering to support customers infotainment system requirements. PSA team developed DVD service capabilities for handling audio playback commands including play, pause, stop, table of contents, scheduler, etc. and implemented flash file system capabilities PSA has worked on various projects involving automotive infotainment systems. Key areas of development have included enhancements to PJWorks to enable a more full-featured infotainment user interface and graphics rendering, and the integration of a vector font engine for use on the SH4 platform (with Amanda companion chip) running VxWorks. The program enables vector fonts with rotation, anti-aliasing and alpha blending capabilities that provides the end customer with the desired performance for rendering navigation information on the screen. |
| The Media logging application is a film editing tool and was designed as both stand-alone and a library. Using Zinc, PSA designed and developed the GUI to run on Windows NT platform. Zinc was used to allow future plans to provide cross platform support. The application included graphical sorting of film clips, classifying tools, timeline based picture and sound placement tools for rough editing. |
