Surface Dial is a mass production PC accessory implementing a tangible interface for on‐and off‐screen interactions. It enables a dual‐handed interaction model in content creation tasks like drawing, video editing, presentation and data visualization. We delve into design considerations, including development of a capacitive approach for on‐screen detection and tracking. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article focuses on the ecological awareness within the Beat Generation, highlighting influences from Eastern religions, indigenous cultures, societal criticism, and capitalism. It explores how figures like Allen Ginsberg, Gary Snyder, and Jack Kerouac were inspired by Buddhism, Native American traditions, and a critique of Western society, leading to a holistic ecological consciousness reflected in their works.

Successful part design requires knowledge of geometry-independent material properties rather than material comparators that apply only to a specific geometry or loading. Engineering plastics are now entering markets where their [...]

Optical Bonding for cover lens protecting MFT sensors has become a key element for smart phones and tablet pc's and in other larger format applications. This paper will review the technical, performance and financial challenges that are being confronted by industry as well as the implementation strategies of various options. Since 2007, Optical Bonding has become a critical aspect of the performance and supply chain implantation of PCAP; the financial impact in 2007 has grown from < $500M to $3 to 4B USD annually.
