Motion and Context Sensing Techniques for Pen Computing
Motion and Context Sensing Techniques for Pen Computing Ken Hinckley1, Xiang ‘Anthony’ Chen1,2, and Hrvoje Benko1 * Microsoft Research, Redmond, WA, USA1 and Carnegie Mellon University Dept. of Computer Science2 ABSTRACT We explore techniques for a slender and untethered stylus prototype enhanced with a full suite of inertial sensors (three-axis accelerometer, gyroscope, and magnetometer). We present a taxonomy of enhanced stylus input techniques and consider a number of novel possibilities that combine motion sensors with pen stroke and touchscreen inputs on a pen + touch slate. These Fig. 1 Our wireless prototype has accelerometer, gyro, and inertial sensors enable motion-gesture inputs, as well sensing the magnetometer sensors in a ~19 cm Χ 11.5 mm diameter stylus. context of how the user is holding or using the stylus, even when Our system employs a custom pen augmented with inertial the pen is not in contact with the tablet screen. Our initial results sensors (accelerometer, gyro, and magnetometer, each a 3-axis suggest that sensor-enhanced stylus input offers a potentially rich sensor, for nine total sensing dimensions) as well as a low-power modality to augment interaction with slate computers. radio.

Introduction In 1831 Michael Faraday discovered electro-magnetic induction. Essentially, he found that moving a conductor through a magnetic field creates voltage that is directly proportional to the speed of the movement—the faster the conductor moves, the higher the voltage. Today, inductive proximity sensors use Faraday’s Law of Electromagnetic Induction to detect the nearness of conductive materials without actually -

In this paper we present several approaches how capacitive sensing can be used for safety applications - an emerging field of usage of capacitive sensors. Capacitive sensing offers unique features that can help to overcome problems of other safety systems such as vision based principles. However, due to the uncertain environment and parasitic effects no general capacitance measurement system exists, which can be readily used for safety applications. -
PCF8883 Capacitive Touch/Proximity Switch with Auto-Calibration, Large Voltage Operating Range, and Very Low Power Consumption Rev
PCF8883 Capacitive touch/proximity switch with auto-calibration, large voltage operating range, and very low power consumption Rev. 4.1 — 14 September 2016 Product data sheet 1. General description The integrated circuit PCF8883 is a capacitive touch and proximity switch that uses a patented (EDISEN) digital method to detect a change in capacitance on a remote sensing plate. Changes in the static capacitance (as opposed to dynamic capacitance changes) are automatically compensated using continuous auto-calibration. Remote sensing plates (e.g. conductive foil) can be connected directly to the IC1 or remotely using a coaxial cable. 2. Features and benefits Dynamic proximity switch Digital processing method Adjustable sensitivity, can be made very high Adjustable response time Wide input capacitance range (10 pF to 60 pF) Automatic calibration A large distance (several meters) between the sensing plate and the IC is possible Open-drain output (P-type MOSFET, external load between pin and ground) Designed for battery powered applications (IDD = 3 A, typical) Output configurable as push-button, toggle, or pulse Wide voltage operating range (VDD = 3 V to 9 V) Large temperature operating range (Tamb = 40 C to +85 C) Internal voltage regulator Available in SOIC8 and wafer level chip-size package 3. Applications Proximity detection Proximity sensing in Mobile phones Portable entertainment units Switch for medical applications Switch for use in explosive environments Vandal proof switches Transportation: Switches in or under upholstery, leather, handles, mats, and glass 1.

How Did the Bible Get Chapters and Verses?
How did the Bible get chapters and verses? 1. What were the writing materials available for ancient texts? Papyrus Because of its abundance in Egypt, papyrus was used as a writing surface as early as 3100 BC and for 4000 years following. It is believed that the original biblical autographs were written on papyrus although later Jewish scribes (Mishnah, Meg 2:2) prohibited its use for parchment when writing sacred texts. The method of making papyrus has not changed in the thousands of years it has been used. The process starts with the removal of the papyrus reed skin to expose the inner pith, which was beaten and dried. It is then laid lengthwise, with subsequent layers cross-laid for strength and durability, and glued with a plant derivative. The final process involved the stretching and smoothing of the papyrus in preparation for its use. The average papyrus “page” was 22 cm wide and 29-33 cm (up to 47cm) long. A papyrus scroll was usually made of 20 “pages” averaging a total length of 4.5 meters. The writing instrument was a kalamos , a pen fashioned from a reed with the tip chewed to form a brush. Often several kalamos were kept for varying brush widths and ink colors. Clay Clay tablets were used as far back as 3000 BC, and scholars have yet to decipher a vast quantity now in possession. Using clean, washed, smooth clay, scribes used a stylus to imprint wedge-shaped letters called cuneiform . The tablets, made in various shapes such as cone-shaped or flat, were sun dried or kiln fired. -

ABSTRACT GET A GRIP: ANALYSIS OF MUSCLE ACTIVITY AND PERCEIVED COMFORT IN USING STYLUS GRIPS by Evanda Vanease Henry The design of handwriting instruments has been based primarily on touch, feel, aesthetics, and muscle exertion. Previous studies make it clear that different pen characteristics have to be considered along with hand–instrument interaction in the design of writing instruments.
