The invention provides systems and methods for using a “haptic camera” within a virtual environment and for using graphical data from the haptic camera to produce touch feedback. The haptic camera obtains graphical data pertaining to virtual objects within the vicinity and along the trajectory of a user-controlled haptic interface device. The graphical data from the camera is interpreted haptically, thereby allowing touch feedback corresponding to the virtual environment to be provided to the user.

In an electride C12A7 provided by replacing free oxygen in 12CaO.7Al2O3 with electrons, a material having metallic electroconductivity and an electric conductivity of more than 5×102 S / cm at room temperature could not have been produced without difficulties.An electride 12CaO.7Al2O3, which has metallic electroconductivity and has an electric conductivity of more than 5×102 S / cm at room temperature, can be produced by heat-treating titanium metal vapor and 12CaO.7Al2O3 single crystal, sinter, or thin film at a temperature above 600° C. and below 1,450° C. for less than 240 hours. Further, thermoelectric field electron release can also be realized using an electron release chip fabricated from the electride.

The present invention relates to a finger musical instrument, including a first glove and a second glove, some performance keys distributed on a fingertip of each of the gloves, and a sound box positioned at each of the gloves. The finger musical instrument further includes a combination key positioned at palm heel of each of the gloves. Each of the sound boxes is connected with a controller. The performance key and the combination key on the same glove are all connected with the corresponding controller. Therein the performance key and the combination of the performance key and the combination key of one glove gives out one octave sound, while the performance key and the combination of the performance key and the combination key of the other glove gives out another octave sound. Each of the controllers is provided with a range regulation switch used for making a sound higher or lower by an octave on each of the gloves. With regulation of the range regulation switch, the finger musical instrument is able to give out a range of two octaves through the sound box. The finger musical instrument of the present invention covers a range of three octaves and can exhibit a vivider music, and the controller can switch between a performance mode and a teaching mode, thus enhancing interaction between the finger musical instrument and a performer.

Organo-metallic complexes for opto-electronic and sensory devices and their use in such devices are provided. The organo-metallic complex (triplet emitter) consists of a metal center and chelate ligands. At least one of chelate ligands comprises an aromatic or fused aromatic ring(s). Each ligand is covalently substituted with at least one, preferably two charge transport groups (ctg). The metal center can be coordinated by a spectator ligand. Presence of two ctgs at each ligand is advantageous for applications in organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs). Charge transport units facilitate hole and / or electron transport to the molecular center and allow for efficient exciton formation directly on the complex. Presence of ctgs on each ligand provides a good shielding with respect to interactions with the environment. Emission quenching is strongly reduced and materials with high emission quantum yields are obtained. Presence of ctgs on each ligand reduces undesired quenching by triplet-triplet annihilation or self-quenching effects.

An apparatus and method for micro-exercise apply piezoelectric stress to cells of a bone mass by inducing voltages in the bone mass. Application of dynamic, electromagnetic fields passing through the conductive bone mass induce currents and voltages locally in and around cells or groups of cells. The cells respond to the combination of mechanical stress and strain by building themselves up as they would if they had been subjected to the stress and strain of conventional exercise. Thus, micro-exercise at a cellular level of the bone mass can be stimulated as if the stress and strain had been applied to the entire bone structure of which the smaller cellular portions are constituent parts. In combination with casts or splints, the sources of electromagnetic flux may be embedded in the frame or solid structure, the protective padding added for comfort, or both.

A method of preparing a sol-gel material is described. A metal alkoxide and an organically modified Si-alkoxide having a predetermined functional group are dissolved in a first solvent and a second solvent to form a first solution and a second solution, respectively. The first solution and the second solution are then mixed and heated. As a result, the metal alkoxide reacts with the organically modified Si-alkoxide, and a functionalized sol-gel material is formed thereby. Furthermore, the solid content of the functionalized sol-gel material is increased by transferring the same into another solvent. Therefore, a thick sol-gel film is fabricated by means of the transferred functionalized sol-gel material.

A method for saving instant messages includes: determining a session saving policy; sending the session saving policy to a server; and saving, by the server, instant messages in a session in accordance with the session saving policy. A client, server and system are also provided.

Rolling bearing cage (5) for an electric steering system of a motor vehicle, designed to ensure the circumferential spacing of the balls (4), comprising a plurality of first sockets (8) provided with means (8a) for axially retaining the cage (5) on a ball (4) and a plurality of second sockets (9) without means for axially retaining the cage (5) on a ball (4). Each of the first sockets (8), with a ball (4) housed in the first corresponding socket (8), has a first axial clearance, a first radial clearance and a first circumferential clearance (J1c) and each of the second sockets (9), with a ball (4) housed in the second corresponding socket (9), has a second axial clearance, a second radial clearance and a second circumferential clearance (J2c).

The present invention includes a method and system for encoding video data by accessing a picture to be encoded, wherein the picture comprises a plurality of macro-blocks. A plurality of programmable counters are associated with each macro-block to be encoded. A counter associated with a macro-block of the plurality of macro-blocks is accessed and a value of the counter is determined. The method further includes determining whether to encode the macro-block as an Intra or non-Intra based on the value of the counter. If the macro-block is encoded as Intra, its counter is reset. If the macro-block is encoded as non-Intra, its counter value is updated. The counter value may be reset with a random number. Counters can be programmed such that a region of interest is defined for updating associated macro-blocks with greater frequency.

A method for carrying out an integrity test on a filter element includes filling a fluid into at least one vessel (1), in which a filter element (F) to be tested is arranged. The method proceeds by setting the pressure of the fluid in the vessel (1) to a predetermined test pressure, and maintaining the test pressure in the vessel (1) with controlled replenishment of fluid into the vessel (1) and / or a controlled change in internal volume of the vessel (1). The method continues by determining an integrity characteristic variable for the filter element (F) in a manner dependent on the controlled replenishment of fluid into the vessel (1) and / or dependent on the controlled change in internal volume of the vessel (1) before attaining a substantially continuous volume flow of fluid for maintaining the specific test pressure in the vessel (1).
