Move-it: a paperclip-shaped sensing and actuating system for sticky notes
نویسندگان
چکیده
We developed a paperclip-shaped motion-actuating system, named “Move-it”. With this system, users can add motions to sticky notes just by clipping it. This system is constructed by using clip-shaped devices that have sensors and actuators. The recognition system uses photo interrupter module as sensor. Each clip device can recognize which note it has been attached to by calculating how much infrared light is being reflected by the grayscale image printed on the flip side of each note. The actuation system is made of a coil-shaped shape memory alloy combined with a polyolefin sheet that is embedded to the clip device, and can provide a sufficient motion for actuating the note. By writing for example, “meeting 16:00” on the sticky note using a digital pen and our device, the user can get physical reminder without any complex setting. This paper presents the design and evaluation of the recognition and actuation system of our clip-shaped device.

Fiber - Optic Sensing of Linear Thermal Expansion (RESEARCH NOTES)
The use of a LED fiber-optic sensor to measure displacement and linear thermal expansion is described. It has a sensitivity of about 0.6 mV/mm, a resolution of 1.25 mm, and a dynamic rang of 400 mm for displacement measurements. For thermal expansion, it shows a sensitivity of about 3.5 mV/C, and the experimental linear expansion values are in agreement with those calculated. The reported senso...
متن کاملSticky Notes: A Collaboration Tool for Distributed Protein Visualization and Annotation
We developed an annotation tool, “sticky notes,” for facilitating distributed collaboration for 3D modeling and visualization. Sticky notes are small 3D objects that coexist with and augment the host 3D objects. Sticky notes provide a convenient way for people to annotate (with both text and audio) a model. However, our note mechanisms go beyond simple passive annotation to also provide active ...

متن کاملTwo-curve-shaped biosensor using photonic crystal nano-ring resonators
We design a novel nano-ring resonator using two-dimensional photonic crystal (2D-PhC), for bio-sensing applications. The structure of biosensor is created by two-curve-shaped ring resonator which sandwiched by two waveguides. These are configured by removing one row of air holes. The refractive index of sensing hole is changed by binding an analyte. Hence, intensity of the transmission spectrum...
متن کاملQuickies: Intelligent Sticky Notes
In this paper, we present „Quickies‟, an attempt to bring one of the most useful inventions of the 20 th century into the digital age: the ubiquitous sticky notes. Sticky notes help us manage our to-do lists, tag our objects and documents and capture short reminders or information that we may need in the near future. „Quickies‟ enrich the experience of using sticky notes by allowing them to be ...
