Pen-based computing offers mobility to workers at remote locations who spend much of their time collecting information. Because pen-based computing is different enough from other types of computing, many companies use pilot projects to get the systems into the hands of these users to see what reaction pen systems receive. Using actual pilot projects in user organizations as examples, this artic...

Records on final BW (kg), backfat depth (cm), and LM area (cm(2)) of pigs from a University of Nebraska Large White/Landrace composite population were analyzed to estimate the effects of pen mates. Measurements were at approximately 180 d of age for 3,524 pigs in 351 pens (9 to 11 pigs per pen) farrowed from 1999 to 2005. The area of each pen was 8.13 m(2). The full model (M1) included the fixe...

Drawing a mark can be an efficient command input technique when using a pen-based computer. However, marks are not intrinsically self-explanatory as are other interactive techniques such as buttons and menus. We present design principles for interaction mechanisms which make marks self explanatory for novices but still allow experts to use efficient command marks. The key notion is that use of ...

For effective digitizing of the group KJ-method (GKJ) activity, we had proposed a label capture system that utilizes an Anoto-based digital pen. The Former GKJ system can digitize the position and content of not only labels but also normal handwritten text. However, advanced edit operations such as changing the text color and emphasizing labels using a digital pen cannot be performed. In this p...

purpose: to compare the tono-pen and schiotz tonometers in measurement of intraocular pressure (iop) in patients with primary congenital glaucoma. methods: this study was conducted on 38 eyes of 20 patients with primary congenital glaucoma. all measurements were performed under general anesthesia. one minute after receiving halothane 3% iop was determined by tono-pen and then by schiotz tonomet...

Large multimedia files (such as high definition audio, video, images, etc.) are accessed by an enormous number of mobile users over the Internet. Therefore, the bandwidth demand for mobile Internet access is increasing exponentially. To answer users’ demand, carrier aggregation is proposed in LTE systems. In carrier aggregation, the best available one or more carrier components of each band mus...

rapid urban growth is resulting into increase in travel demand and private vehicle ownership in urban areas. in the present scenario the existing infrastructure has failed to match the demand that leads to traffic congestion, vehicular pollution and accidents. with traffic congestion augmentation on the road, delay of commuters has increased and reliability of road network has decreased. four s...
