Pen computing as afield broadly includes computers and applications in which a pen is the main input device. This field continues to draw a lot of attention from researchers because there are a number qf applications where pen is the most convenient form of input. These include: 1 .

BACKGROUND The objective of this study was to characterize how successfully patients with diabetes are able to distinguish between pens of the same pen type containing long- and short-acting insulins. METHODS Structured one-on-one interviews were conducted with 400 patients with diabetes in the United States, using either a differentiated (n = 100) or undifferentiated (n = 100) SoloSTAR® (ins...

We report on search for Θ + (1540) and Ξ 3/2 (1860) pentaquark candidates in proton-induced reactions on various nuclear targets at √ s=41.6 GeV/c 2. The analyzed data sample consists of 200 million minimum bias events recorded at HERA-B which is a fixed target experiment having acceptance at mid-rapidity. No evidence for narrow (σ ≈ 5 MeV/c 2) signals in Θ + → pK 0 S and Ξ 3/2 → Ξπ channels is...

In this position paper we argue that electronic book and document readers (H UHDGHUV) open new avenues for computer supported collaborative work. This position draws on our experience building and e-reading with the XLibris “active reading machine,” a portable pen-based computer specialized for the task of reading, critical thinking, and analysis.

In online handwriting recognition the trajectory of the pen is recorded during writing. Although the trajectory provides a compact and complete representation of the written output, it is hard to transcribe directly, because each letter is spread over many pen locations. Most recognition systems therefore employ sophisticated preprocessing techniques to put the inputs into a more localised form...

This paper presents a design of a LED dot matrix written display system using Single Chip Micyoco (SCM). It completes the data acquisition function through the light pen with excellent photographic performance phototransistor, then it can achieve the following functions, such as click light, draw light, reverse display, entire screen erasure, stroke erasure, multi characters written and so on. ...

OBJECTIVES Schizophrenia may result from disturbed attentional processes and/or defective internal cueing. Attention for subsequent action within a cued movement task was therefore studied, testing specific hypotheses of hemispheric dysfunction and of impaired interhemispheric communication. METHOD Fifteen patients with schizophrenia and 15 matched controls were either cued or uncued when mov...
