Abstract:
A method of enabling a search using an electronic device, the method comprising, detecting actuation of a user input dedicated to provide access to a graphical user interface, and presenting, in response to the actuation of the dedicated user input, the graphical user interface for enabling a user to input a search parameter where the search parameter may be any one of a plurality of different types of media.
Abstract:
A method includes executing a gesture with a user-manipulated physical object in the vicinity of a device; generating data that is descriptive of the presence of the user- manipulated object when executing the gesture; and interpreting the data as pertaining to at least one object, such as an object displayed by the device.

Abstract:
A portable oxygen delivery device for increasing the oxygen content in the air inhaled by a user. The device includes solar cells that harvests energy over longer period of time and power instantaneously an electrolysis unit on user-demand for purpose of oxygen refreshment. The oxygen gas produced by the electrolysis unit is conveyed by tubing to an area in the vicinity of the users mouth and nose. The solar cells and the electrolysis unit are integrated in a garment worn by the user.
Abstract:
Un dispositivo electroluminiscente (10a) que comprende: un primer electrodo (11); un componente electroluminiscente (14); dos o más componentes piezoeléctricos (15-N); y dos o más segundos electrodos (12-N), en donde el componente electroluminiscente (14) está situado entre el primer electrodo (11) y los dos o más componentes piezoeléctricos (15-N); cada uno de los dos o más segundos electrodos (12-N) está en contacto eléctrico con un componente piezoeléctrico (15-N) respectivo y el primer electrodo (11); y el primer electrodo (11), el componente electroluminiscente (14), dos o más componentes piezoeléctricos (15-N) y dos o más segundos electrodos (12-N) están configurados de manera que un esfuerzo mecánico aplicado a los dos o más componentes piezoeléctricos (15-N) genere una diferencia potencial a través del componente electroluminiscente (14), causando la diferencia de potencial la emisión de radiación electromagnética desde el componente electroluminiscente (14).

Abstract:
An input device (1, 25) for a user interface comprises means to monitor movement of a user by mapping and recording deformations of their skin. The input device (1, 25) comprises conformable/reversibly stretchable material for placement onto the skin of a user. A plurality of sensors (30) are mounted on, or embedded in, the stretchable material and arranged to undergo, and track in-plane and out-of-plane deformations corresponding to stretching and flexure of the underlying skin. A signal for controlling another device (26) is then generated, based on the detected movement, gesture or positioning of the user based on the detected deformations. In wearable electronics applications, the other device may be mounted on the same stretchable material. The sensors (30) may be arranged to provide active feedback, by selectively applying vibrations or pressure to the user's skin.
