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

Title: A Mother’s Touch Every time I come across mothers who have aged and perhaps who are no longer in the best of health‚ I would imagine them when they were in their prime‚ more youthful days. In amidst of my attempts of regenerating a younger look of these unknown women‚ I am drawn to the precious recollections of my own dear mother when she was still alive. She was always this person who had unfailing agility and efficiency in carrying out every task she did. The absence of a formal education

Assignment Energy Transfer in living systems Energy is the capacity to do work. All living organisms require energy for carrying on their vital metabolic activities. The primary source of energy for living system is solar radiation. The radiant energy of sunlight cannot be utilized directly by all living organisms. This ability rests only with the green plants. All the other organisms have to meet their energy requirement only through the green plants. Energy that flows in the living system is called

In the poems ‘Welfare baby’‚ written by Cheryl Albury and ‘Barefoot Baby’‚ written by J.L.Mayson the poets arouse sympathy for the characters in them. The use of many techniques depicts the sympathetic theme throughout the poems. Both poems are about young children and the titles of each portray a sense of negativity to the readers. In ‘Welfare baby’ albury starts off by describing the baby as ‘defenseless’‚ which shows how he is unable to help or defend himself. This may give the reader a sad

We require energy for each and every activity that is being performed whether physically or chemically. This energy is acquired from the food we eat. In order to release that energy‚ certain anabolic and catabolic reactions take place. The three main energy systems are ATP Pcr‚glycolytic and oxidative; oxidative having three futher subgroups. These are discussed below ATP Pcr The ATP Pcr system is a constituent of Adenosine triphosphate and phosphocreatine. This energy system provides high energy

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

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
