Tactile Radar: experimenting a computer game with visually disabled.

Background: Visually disabled people increasingly use computers in everyday life, thanks to novel assistive technologies better tailored to their cognitive functioning. Like sighted people, many are interested in computer games - videogames and audio-games. Tactile-games are beginning to emerge.

Applying High-Speed Vision Sensing to an Industrial Robot for High-Performance Position Regulation under Uncertainties.

It is traditionally difficult to implement fast and accurate position regulation on an industrial robot in the presence of uncertainties. The uncertain factors can be attributed either to the industrial robot itself (e.g.

A unique variant of streptococcal group O-antigen (C-polysaccharide) that lacks phosphocholine.

Streptococcus mitis strain SK598, which represents a subgroup of biovar 1, possesses a unique variant of the C-polysaccharide found in the cell wall of all strains of Streptococcus pneumoniae and in some strains of S. mitis. This new variant lacks the choline methyl groups in contrast to the previously characterized forms of C-polysaccharide, which all contain one or two choline residues per repeat.

Structure of the O-polysaccharide from the lipopolysaccharide from Vibrio cholerae O6.

The O-polysaccharide from Vibrio cholerae O6 was isolated from the LPS by mild-acid hydrolysis and has been investigated by sugar and methylation analysis and NMR spectroscopy. The polysaccharide was also depolymerized with aqueous hydrofluoric acid to give the repeating unit and multiples thereof. The O-polysaccharide had the following tetrasaccharide repeating unit.
