SUMMARY Adjustment of a certain parameter in the course of performing a trajectory task such as drawing or gesturing is a common manipulation in pen-based interaction. Since pen tip information is confined to x-y coordinate data, such concurrent parameter adjustment is not easily accomplished in devices using only a pen tip. This paper comparatively investigates the performance of inherent pen ...

Pen computing as afield broadly includes computers and applications in which a pen is the main input device. This field continues to draw a lot of attention from researchers because there are a number qf applications where pen is the most convenient form of input. These include: 1 . Preparrng a f i r s t d r a f t o f a d o c u m e n t a n d concentrating on content creation. 2. A sociallv acce...

Tono-Pen and TonoVet have been used in rabbits to measure intraocular pressure (IOP) and investigate the effect of IOP lowering therapies. Therefore, their reliability and accuracy are very important and deserve careful evaluation. Our results showed that the with-subject deviation (Sw) and intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) of the TonoVet and Tono-Pen were 0.61 mmHg/0.83 mmHg and 0.97/0....

BACKGROUND The objective of this study was to characterize how successfully patients with diabetes are able to distinguish between pens of the same pen type containing long- and short-acting insulins. METHODS Structured one-on-one interviews were conducted with 400 patients with diabetes in the United States, using either a differentiated (n = 100) or undifferentiated (n = 100) SoloSTAR® (ins...

In this position paper we argue that electronic book and document readers (H UHDGHUV) open new avenues for computer supported collaborative work. This position draws on our experience building and e-reading with the XLibris “active reading machine,” a portable pen-based computer specialized for the task of reading, critical thinking, and analysis.

This paper provides the theoretical grounding in constituting databases related to PE- and PEN-, two Indonesian nominalizing prefixes, which have various meanings (e.g., patient, agent, or instrument). The first database contains words with PEN- whereas second cosine similarity between of interest. Using a written corpus as primary source (Leipzig Corpora Collection), contain following informat...

Advanced technologies open more possibilities to interact with computers in various different ways. Especially, pen-based computing provides people with an intuitive way to use a computer. In this paper, we present our research on developing pen-based neuropsychological assessment tools for older adults with cognitive impairment. First, we explain the background information and motivation to de...

The quantity of Salmonella recoverable from three lairage pens in a swine abattoir was determined. Using dry four-ply cotton gauze pads measuring 10 by 10 cm, 100 fecal slurry samples were collected from each of the three pens. Salmonella recovery was expressed as the log CFU per milliliter of sample. Mean values were 2.5 log CFU/ml in pen A, 2.7 log CFU/ ml in pen B, and 0.89 log CFU/ml in pen...

In this paper a pen-based intuitive interface is presented, that controls a virtual human figure interactively. Recent commercial pen devices can detect not only the pen positions but also the pressure and tilt of the pen. We utilize such information to make a human figure perform various types of motions in response to the pen movements manipulated by the user. The figure walks, runs, turns an...
