Obtaining information by dynamic (effortful) touching.

Dynamic touching is effortful touching. It entails deformation of muscles and fascia and activation of the embedded mechanoreceptors, as when an object is supported and moved by the body. It is realized as exploratory activities that can vary widely in spatial and temporal extents (a momentary heft, an extended walk). Research has revealed the potential of dynamic touching for obtaining non-vis...

Obtaining Dynamic Program Information with Binary Instrumentation

Dynamic information about a program has many uses, such as aiding the programmer in debugging or optimizing his code, helping make code more secure, or helping hardware and systems designers make organizational or tradeoff decisions. Program information is available through a variety of approaches, including visual inspection of the code or its output, compiler output, hardware counters, debugg...

Comparison of dynamic (effortful) touch by hand and foot.

Spatial perception by dynamic touch is a well-documented capability of the hand and arm. Morphological and physiological characteristics of the foot and leg suggest that such a capability may not generalize to that putatively less dexterous limb. The authors examined length perception by dynamic touch in a task in which weighted aluminum rods were grasped by the hand and wielded about the wrist...

Dynamic Bayesian Information Measures

This paper introduces measures of information for Bayesian analysis when the support of data distribution is truncated progressively. The focus is on the lifetime distributions where the support is truncated at the current age t>=0. Notions of uncertainty and information are presented and operationalized by Shannon entropy, Kullback-Leibler information, and mutual information. Dynamic updatings...

Obtaining Information from Heterogeneous Systems

Between the minds that plan and the hands that build there must be a mediator Intertitle from Fritz Lang: Metropolis, UFA 1926. Abstract We visualize a three-layer architecture of private applications, mediating information servers, and information resources which may be databases, domain-speciic programs and knowledgebases, sensor processing programs which report the current state, and simulat...
