It is shown that a gold-plated device mounted on tenor saxophone, forming small bridge between the mouthpiece and S-bow, can change two characteristics of radiated sound: (1) acoustic energy harmonics with emission maxima around 1500–3000 Hz, which slightly reduced for tones played in lower register saxophone; (2) frequency jitter all regular upper saxophone show two-fold increase. Through simu...

Dharmakīrti’s third logical reason holds that non-cognition （anupalabdhi） can establish the absence of an object under condition in question is perceptible （dṛśya）. In analysis by Dharmottara, perceptibility （dṛśyatva） identified as presence both itself and all other causal factors, e.g., light. However, how we determine when absent? According to Watanabe 2001, Dharmottara it means superimposit...

Human identification from a skull is a critical process in legal and forensic medicine, especially when no other means are available. Traditional clay-based methods attempt to generate the human face, in order to identify the corresponding person. However, these reconstructions lack of objectivity, since they depend on the practitioner. On the other hand, superimposition of a skull with antemor...

Visual secret checking refers to the superimposition of one key image and another public sharing image without auxiliary automated computation, in order to recognize the specified secret via human inspection. This paper achieves the goals of: guaranteeing that the related contents of a secret are not revealed after any public sharing image superimposition, confirming the accuracy of any public ...

Craniofacial superimposition is the second stage of a complex forensic technique that aims to identify a missing person from a photograph (or video shot) and the skull found. This specific task is devoted to find the most appropriate pose of the skull model to be projected onto the photograph. The process is guided by a number of landmarks identified both in the skull (craniometric landmarks) a...

Previous studies have verified the usefulness of visual haptics for achieving appropriate grasping force and task success rate to operate remote machines. However, its capabilities not been evaluated objectively quantitatively. We comprehensively compare three feedback modalities (i.e., sound, vibration, light) providing pseudo-haptic information on contact with an object, which we apply object...
