Architecture that combines multiple depth cameras and multiple projectors to cover a specified space (e.g., a room). The cameras and projectors are calibrated, allowing the development of a multi-dimensional (e.g., 3D) model of the objects in the space, as well as the ability to project graphics in a controlled fashion on the same objects. The architecture incorporates the depth data from all depth cameras, as well as color information, into a unified multi-dimensional model in combination with calibrated projectors. In order to provide visual continuity when transferring objects between different locations in the space, the user's body can provide a canvas on which to project this interaction. As the user moves body parts in the space, without any other object, the body parts can serve as temporary “screens” for “in-transit” data.

A hand-held security alarm system for sounding an alarm when the system is released. The hand-held security alarm system includes a hand-held device that contains an alarm, a battery, an activation member, an activation electronic circuit, an alarming member, and a deactivation button. The activation member being biased to push away from the hand-held device by a compression spring. The activation electronic circuit being activated by an activation switch when the activation member travels a certain distance from the hand-held device. The hand-held device is maintained in the inactive state by the activation member being held against the hand-held device by a detent incorporated into the alarming member. The hand-held device is put into the armed position by sliding the alarming member so that the detent on the activation member travels past a catch on the activation member and the activation is held against the compression spring by an external force such as a hand grasping the hand-held device. The hand-held device once armed is activated by releasing the external force on the activation member so that the compression spring pushes the activation member away from the hand-held device thereby triggering the electronic circuit and causing the battery to energize the alarm causing an audible sound. The electronic circuit cannot be deactivated by pressing the activation member back towards the hand-held device but requires the application of a deactivation switch which when pushed opens the electronic circuit cutting the battery power from the alarm. The hand-held device includes a strap that can be securely attached to the body of the user so that in an attack the hand-held device stays with the user.

A high throughput, on-line, pulsed ultrafiltration-mass spectrometric method has been developed to determine whether a compound has predetermined characteristics that would make it suitable for a specific purpose, e.g. drug development. The method is useful to generate, identify, and quantify metabolites of compounds formed by drug metabolizing enzymes such as cytochrome P450, UDP-glucuronyltransferases, and glutathione transferases. The method is useful for rapid screening of drugs or other compounds to determine the extent of their metabolism and to characterize their primary metabolites. If reactive and potentially toxic metabolites are formed during, e.g. cytochrome P450 oxidation, the metabolites can be reacted with glutathione and then detected on-line using mass spectrometry in a rapid assay to assess the potential for toxicity. In addition, the method is useful for the determination of bioavailability, absorption and cell permeability of compounds.
