Methods and devices for optical stimulation of neural tissues
InactiveUS6921413B2Increasing electrical field sizeHighly specificElectrotherapySurgeryPHYSICAL MANIPULATIONSOptical stimulation
The present invention provides methods of directly stimulating neural tissue with optical energy. By stimulating neural tissue at wavelengths, laser pulses, and spot sizes disclosed herein, nerve stimulation may be used to uniquely stimulate neural tissue in way not afforded by other means of stimulation. It can allow basic scientists to study the properties of individual neurons or populations of neurons without piercing tissue with fragile microelectrodes. Furthermore, responses of neural tissue can be studied in a pure fashion without contamination by electrical artifact commonly seen with electrical stimulation. With respect to clinical uses, optical stimulation can be used to map function in subsections of peripheral nerves as an aid to operative repair. Finally, stimulation with optical energy does not require physical contact with the nerve which may be an advantage clinically when physical manipulation of neural tissue is not desired.

The system comprises one or more virtual organs to be operated on. The organ comprises a plurality of elements, each element having neighboring elements; and a plurality of tensioned connections connecting neighboring elements over said organ, such that force applied at one of said elements propagates via respective neighboring elements provides a distributed reaction over said organ. In addition there is a physical manipulation device for manipulation by a user; and a tracking arrangement for tracking said physical manipulation device and translating motion of said physical manipulation device into application of forces onto said virtual organ. The system is capable of simulating organs moving, cutting, suturing, coagulations and other surgical and surgery-related operations.

Asymmetric chemical strengthening
InactiveUS20150274585A1Improve glass strengthReduce distortion problemsDigital data processing detailsElectrical apparatus contructional detailsPHYSICAL MANIPULATIONSUltimate tensile strength
Apparatus, systems and methods for increasing the strength of glass are disclosed. The strengthening of one portion of the glass article can be performed to a greater degree than another portion. Additionally, to mitigate against any distortion, such as warpage, physical manipulation of the glass article can be performed prior to or during strengthening, namely chemical strengthening. For example, in accordance with one embodiment, an outer surface of a glass article (e.g., cover glass) can be chemically strengthened to a greater degree than an inner surface of the glass article, yet the asymmetric strengthening does not induce distortion of the glass article because the glass article was physically manipulated, such as being bent, to counter any such distortion. Accordingly, glass articles that have undergone chemical strengthening processing are able to be not only thin and undistorted but also sufficiently strong and resistant to damage. The strengthened glass articles are well suited for use in consumer products, such as consumer electronic devices (e.g., portable electronic devices).

Verification that an authenticated user is in physical possession of a client device
InactiveUS20150101031A1Input/output for user-computer interactionDigital data processing detailsComputer hardwareUser input
A device user being authenticated is determined to be in physical possession of the device according to data in one or more user input device buffers that indicates whether data received from a user input device is injected or is generated by physical manipulation of the user input device. If the events recorded in the buffer are not injected, the user entering the authentication data is determined to be in physical possession of the device and the user can be authenticated if the authentication data entered by the user matches predetermined reference data. Conversely, if the events are injected, the user is determined to not be in physical possession of the device and authentication fails regardless of whether the authentication data matches the predetermined reference data.

A system and a method are disclosed for developing a query. The system includes a display device for displaying elements, such as images, textures, color palettes, ad textual elements, which are selectable as query elements for forming a query. A physical space is provided on the display in which a physical object can be positioned. At least one physical object is positioned in the physical space, which is recognized by the system as having an identifier stored in memory to which a query can be linked. A sensor is provided for detecting a physical manipulation of the physical object in the physical space which represents absorbing a query element into a query. A query generator generates a query based on the absorbed query element. The query is thus associated in memory with the identifier for the recognized object. In this way, several physical objects can be manipulated on the display device, each one corresponding to a respective, single query.
