Display devices including motion sensing and processing. In one aspect, a handheld electronic device includes a subsystem providing display capability and a set of motion sensors provided on a single substrate and including at least one gyroscope sensing rotational rate of the device around three axes of the device and at least one accelerometer sensing gravity and linear acceleration of the device along these axes. A computation unit is capable of determining motion data from the sensor data stored in the memory, the motion data derived from a combination of the sensed rotational rate around at least one of the axes and the sensed gravity and linear acceleration along at least one of the axes. The motion data describes movement of the device including a rotation of the device around at least one of the axes, the rotation causing interaction with the device.

A non-volatile semiconductor device has a memory cell array having electrically erasable programmable non-volatile memory cells, reprogramming and retrieval circuits that temporarily store data to be programmed in the memory cell array and sense data retrieved from the memory cell array. Each reprogramming and retrieval circuit has a first latch and a second latch that are selectively connected to the memory cell array and transfer data each other. A controller controls the reprogramming and retrieval circuits on data-reprogramming operation to and data-retrieval operation from the memory cell array. Each reprogramming and retrieval circuit has a multilevel logical operation mode and a caching operation mode. In the multilevel logical operation mode, re-programming and retrieval of upper and lower bits of two-bit four-level data is performed using the first and the second latches in storing the two-bit four-level data in one of the memory cells in a predetermined threshold level range. In the caching operation mode, data transfer between one of the memory cells selected in accordance with a first address and the first latch is performed while data transfer is performed between the second latch and input / output terminals in accordance with a second address with respect to one-bit two-level data to be stored in one of the memory cells.

A computer simulation and virtual reality system simulates the use of a blasting nozzle to remove one or more coatings and / or rust from a virtual surface. The user operates an electronic controller in the form of a blasting nozzle that outputs a signal indicating whether the blasting nozzle controller is in an “on” position or in an “off” position. The system also has a motion tracking system that tracks the position and orientation of the blasting nozzle controller with respect to the virtual surface defined on the display screen. Simulation software in a computer generates virtual blast pattern data, and the removal of the virtual coating(s) and / or rust image from the virtual surface is displayed in real time on the display screen.

A method for correcting inherent distortions in a CT or MRI imaging process, or distortions arising from excessive patient movement during the scan by means of a registration device inserted into the mouth of the patient at the time the scan is being performed. The registration device incorporates a set of fiducial markers disposed in a predetermined three-dimensional pattern. The exact positions of the fiducial markers are known with respect to each other, thus providing a three-dimensional reference against which the resulting images can be compared. Additionally, a method whereby three-dimensional CT or MRI images taken prior to an operation, are accurately registered and integrated with real-time tracking positional data of the patient's body part and instruments operating thereon. Application is described for the drilling of a patient's jaw for the placement of dental implants.
