Abstract: The tap is actuated by an energy source and comprises sensors (13,31) to detect that the actuator operates the tap. A first sensor measures a magnitude representing the power consumed from the energy source. An electronic circuit (11,29) is connected to the first sensor and to a comparator (10,28) which, when the actuator operates the tap, compares the magnitude representing the power consumed from the energy source with a set value, and emits an instruction as a function of this comparison. In the case of a pneumatic energy source a pressurised fluid is used. The actuator has a pneumatic valve piston (5) and the first sensor (13) measures the fluid pressure on either side of the piston (5). In the case where an electrical current energy source is used. the actuator is an electro-mechanical transducer (23) and the first sensor (31) measures the electrical power consumed from the energy source at the time the tap is operated.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for inputting a hand-generated character into a computer. A user draws a character using a drawing apparatus. As the user draws, movement of the apparatus and characteristics of such movement are detected. The apparatus generates a code for the character being drawn as a time dependent sequence of signals by comparing the characteristics of the movement as the character is drawn with a predetermined set of characteristics, with each signal corresponding to the predetermined characteristic closest to the actual characteristic detected at each successive step of movement. The apparatus provides visual feedback to the user by displaying in sequence each component of a character that is being drawn positionally independently of the movement of the drawing apparatus.

Abstract: A novel system for a new kind of electronic newsgathering and videography is described. In particular, a camera that captures light passing through the center of a lens of an eye of the user is described. Such an electronic newsgathering system allows the eye itself to, in effect, function as a camera. In wearable embodiments of the invention, a journalist wearing the apparatus becomes, after adaptation, an entity that seeks, without conscious thought or effort, an optimal point of vantage and camera orientation. Moreover, the journalist can easily become part of a human intelligence network, and draw upon the intellectual resources and technical photographic skills of a large community. Because of the journalist's ability to constantly see the world through the apparatus of the invention, which may also function as an image enhancement device, the apparatus behaves as a true extension of the journalist's mind and body, giving rise to a new genre of documentary video. In this way, it functions as a seamless communications medium that uses a reality-based user-interface.
