sensory receptors of the skin are concerned with at least five different senses: pain‚ heat‚ cold‚ touch‚ and pressure. The five are usually grouped together as the single sense of touch in the classification of the five senses of the whole human body. The sensory receptors vary greatly in terms of structure. For example‚ while pain receptors are simply unmyelinated terminal branches of neurons‚ touch receptors form neuronal fiber nets around the base of hairs and deep pressure receptors consist

United States Naval Academy. While in the service I discovered an ongoing nonconsensual human experiment testing a human-machine interface weapon. The program is testing a class of weapons called “Perception Warfare‚” “Spiritual Warfare‚” or “No-Touch Torture” weapons. I use the term “testing” loosely. This program functions more like an electronic gulag. I’ve researched this issue for over ten years now and have verified the information to be true. I have been doing public outreach on this issue

History of multi-touch[edit] The use of touchscreen technology to control electronic devices pre-dates multi-touch technology and the personal computer. Early synthesizer and electronic instrument builders like Hugh Le Caine and Robert Moog experimented with using touch-sensitive capacitance sensors to control the sounds made by their instruments.[6] IBM began building the first touch screens in the late 1960s‚ and‚ in 1972‚ Control Data released the PLATO IV computer‚ a terminal used for educational

limited life in the presence of moisture. In explosive atmospheres and in undersea applications‚ special connectors must be used. This paper describes a technique‚ the contactless energy transfer system (CETS)‚ by which electrical energy may be transmitted‚ without electrical connection or physical contact‚ through nonmagnetic media of low conductivity. The CETS‚ which has been used to transfer up to 5 kW across a 10-mm gap‚ employs high-frequency magnetic coupling and enables plug-in power connections
