Pister [email protected] Berkeley Sensor & Actuator Center University of California, Berkeley 497 Cory Hall Berkeley, CA 94720 (510) 643-2236 Abstract A glove with six 2-axis accelerometers on the finger tips and back of the hand is demonstrated using commercial-off-the-shelf components. With an RF transmitter, the glove can act as ...

An intact barrier between the hands of the surgeon and the patient remains the single most important factor in protection against infection for both. Increasing the awareness of possible glove perforation without skin penetration will decrease the risk of contamination. We performed a prospective, randomised trial comparing the incidence of glove perforation using a new type of glove (Regent Bi...

In multi-modal interactions including haptics, problems such as input sensor noise, temporal mismatch between graphics and haptics, and non-constant refresh rates may cause non-smooth force/torque display. This paper proposes temporal smoothing technique for haptic interaction using a sensing glove inmulti-modal applications. The proposed technique employs two processes: (1) a noise reduction m...

To the Editor: Editor, I read the recent published work on glove removal method and distance with a great interest. Lai et al concluded that ‘‘The impact of the glove removal procedure and the distance to the bin in which used gloves are discarded should be taken into consideration on a daily basis’’. I would like to add somemore factors that are reported to be relating to the hand contaminatio...
