Multimodal Affective Feedback: Combining Thermal, Vibrotactile, Audio and Visual Signals
In this paper we describe a demonstration of our multimodal affective
feedback designs, used in research to expand the emotional expressivity
of interfaces. The feedback leverages inherent associations
and reactions to thermal, vibrotactile, auditory and abstract
visual designs to convey a range of affective states without any
need for learning feedback encoding. All combinations of the different
feedback channels can be utilised, depending on which combination
best conveys a given state. All the signals are generated
from a mobile phone augmented with thermal and vibrotactile stimulators,
which will be available to conference visitors to see, touch,
hear and, importantly, feel
A short note on the presence of spurious states in finite basis approximations
The genesis of spurious solutions in finite basis approximations to operators
which possess a continuum and a point spectrum is discussed and a simple
solution for identifying these solutions is suggested
High pressure flame system for pollution studies with results for methane-air diffusion flames
A high pressure flame system was designed and constructed for studying nitrogen oxide formation in fuel air combustion. Its advantages and limitations were demonstrated by tests with a confined laminar methane air diffusion flame over the pressure range from 1 to 50 atm. The methane issued from a 3.06 mm diameter port concentrically into a stream of air contained within a 20.5 mm diameter chimney. As the combustion pressure is increased, the flame changes in shape from wide and convex to slender and concave, and there is a marked increase in the amount of luminous carbon. The height of the flame changes only moderately with pressure
Transverse Quark Distribution in Mesons - QCD Sum Rule Approach -
QCD sum rules are used to compute the first few moments of the mesonic quark
momentum. Transverse, longitudinal and mixed transverse-longitudinal components
are examined. The transverse size of the pion is shown to be dictated by the
gluon condensate, even though the mass and the longitudinal distribution are
dominated by the quark condensate. The implications of our results for color
transparency physics and finite temperature QCD are discussed.Comment: 8 pages, Latex, Univ. of Washington preprint DOE/ER/40427-24-N9
