The Sponge A Flexible Interface
نویسنده
چکیده
The sponge is an interface that allows a clear link to be established between gesture and sound in electroacoustic music. The goals in developing the sponge were to reintroduce the pleasure of playing and to improve the interaction between the composer/performer and the audience. It has been argued that expenditure of effort or energy is required to obtain expressive interfaces. The sponge favors an energy-sound relationship in two ways : 1) it senses acceleration, which is closely related to energy; and 2) it is made out of a flexible material (foam) that requires effort to be squeezed or twisted. Some of the mapping strategies used in a performance context with the sponge are discussed.

Loofah sponge as an interface dressing material in negative pressure wound therapy: results of an in vivo study.
Since the introduction of negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT), the physiological effects of various interface dressing materials have been studied. The purpose of this experimental study was to compare the use of loofah sponge to standard polyurethane foam or a cotton gauze sponge. Three wounds, each measuring 3 cm x 3 cm, were created by full-thickness skin excision on the dorsal sides of 2...

متن کاملSecurity of Sponge structures
Sponge structure is a structure widely used in the design of cryptographic algorithms that reduces the design of the algorithms to the design of a permutation or pseudo-random function. The development of sponge-based algorithms and the selection of designs based on this structure in SHA3 and CAESAR competitions increase the need to examine its security against various types of attacks. In the ...
متن کاملThe sponge phase of a mixed surfactant system.
We study the sponge phase of the mixed non-ionic/ionic surfactant system C14DMAO-TTAB-hexanol-brine. Our aim is to determine if this phase exists in this mixed system and if it preserves or changes its structure when the relative amount of the charged surfactant is increased in the mixture. SAXS, FFEM, and conductivity results show that for the same bilayer volume fraction the sponge phase pres...
متن کاملPolyurethane sheet: A potential substitute of surgical cotton gauze
Polyurethane sheet is a pure white, soft, and flexible synthetic sponge with a mechanical strength and abrasion resistance equivalent or even superior to other sponge materials. Our study indicates that the blood absorption power of the polyurethane sheet is equivalent to that of the cotton gauze even after repeated use, and it has the potential to decrease the total amount of sponge usage. Fur...
