Procedural textures often expose a set of parameters controlling their final appearance. This lets end users tune the final look and feel, typically through a set of sliders. However, it is difficult to predict the changes introduced by a given slider, especially as sliders interact in non–trivial ways. We augment the sliders controlling parameters with visual previews revealing the changes tha...

People search is an important search task where the goal is to find people instead of documents. Providing search facets in a people search system can help users better describe their search intents. Some systems provide checkboxes for the discrete values of each facet to assist users filtering search results. Some other systems in recent studies provide sliders to represent the continuous valu...

We study the convergence of elastohydrodynamic lubrication (EHL) simulations textured slider bearings. EHL are computationally expensive because equations that describe lubricant film pressure and deformation bearing surfaces coupled and, thus, must be solved simultaneously. Additional simulation requirements, such as maintaining a specific load-carrying capacity or thickness, further increase ...

Importance of elastic deformation control to obtain large output force with a surface acoustic wave (SAW) motor is discussed in this paper. By adding pre-load to slider, stator and slider surfaces are deformed in a few tens nanometer. Appropriate deformation in normal direction against normal vibration displacement amplitude of SAW existed. By moderate deformation, the output force of the SAW m...

This manual describes a z-Tree (Fischbacher, 2007) implementation of the paper-based Social Vaule Orientation (SVO) Slider Measure by Murphy et al. (2011). Using the paperbased version instead of the slider-based version (as implemented on the SVO-Website) avoids server-traffic related delays we experienced in the latter implementation. JEL-Classification: C91, D03, D64

− Based on first principles a dynamical contact model of a Surface Acoustic Wave motor is built. Besides slider behavior also contact point behavior is obtained, which is hard to acquire experimentally. The contact point behavior is used to explain slider behavior like threshold amplitude and like oscillations that are observed in experimental set-ups.
