Remote controllers employing sensors have been common devices for managing such electronic devices as television and Digital Versatile Disc (DVD) players. Current remote control systems are categorized as radio, ultrasonic, laser, mechanical and infrared. However, mobile phones have being prevalent in our modern society. They are not currently used for talking alone but they are also used for c...

According to the technology requirements of measurement for animal casing, in this paper, we use PLC and touch screen as the control core, the electromechanical integration design ideas to research the methods and principles for casing measure, and analyze the mechanical structures and mechanical characteristics of casing machine. As the control core, the programmable logic controller (PLC) ens...

Infection control practices which increase the risk of blood-borne virus transmission with associated dental practice in one South African province were studied. All 24 state dental clinics were observed for adequate provision to carry out good infection prevention and control (IPC) practice, 75 staff including dentists, nurses and dental assistants were interviewed to assess IPC knowledge and ...

This paper presents the building of a stereoscope, which is formed with two parallel walls. The building of this stereoscope is based on the Wheatstone-type stereoscope. Due to the incorporation of some characteristics, we named this stereoscope “Wheatstone-Mora” environment. We propose to build stereoscopic environments of different sizes, in which, each wall can be built with projection scree...

We have developed a feedback controller for a treadmill, in a virtual environment, using a rear projection screen, that keeps the visual extents consistent across subjects and allows them to set their own walking pace naturally. (A) Please consider this paper for poster presentation (B) This paper is intended for Applications Sessions. (C) The first author is not a student. Authors: Lee Lichten...

This position paper provides an overview of Understanding the Multi-Screen Household, an interdisciplinary project investigating how domestic media audiences use second screen technologies in relation to primary screen viewing. It describes the novel methods developed for this problem space by a diverse group of researchers and reflects on the practical, ethical and theoretical challenges atten...

In this paper, we present an interaction mechanism that allows TV viewers to synchronise their second screen applications in a simple and effortless way. This mechanism relies on the user feedback to deliver in-sync second screen events, and was designed as a universal solution that can be used on any live broadcast.

OBJECTIVE To examine the psychosocial consequences of being allocated to the control group as compared with the screen group in a randomised lung cancer screening trial. METHOD The Danish Lung Cancer Screening Trial, a randomised controlled trial, ran from 2004 to 2010 with the purpose of investigating the benefits and harms of lung cancer screening. The participants in Danish Lung Cancer Scr...
