Abstract: A system and method for generating a video display suitable for interaction with a public audience or group. The system comprises one or more video capture devices for capturing a scene, a module configured to extract one or parameters that describe a field of motion in the scene, and a module configured to generate a plurality of particles or a swarm of particles that are responsive or react to the motion field.

Abstract: The present invention relates to polycyclic polymers, methods for producing polycyclic polymers, and methods for their use as photoresists in the manufacture of integrated circuits. In one embodiment, the present invention relates to photoresist compositions formed from the polymerization of at least one halogenated polycyclic monomer or hydrohalogenated polycyclic monomer. In another embodiment, the present invention relates to photoresist compositions formed from the co-polymerization of at least one halogenated polycyclic monomer or hydrohalogenated polycyclic monomer with at least one non-halogenated polycyclic monomer. Additionally, the present invention relates to methods by which to post-treat such photoresist compositions in order to obtain one or more of: (1) a reduction in optical density of the polymer composition; and (2) a reduction in the amount of residual metal and/or monomer in the polymer composition.

Abstract: An article is manufactured from a substrate of a material that exhibits the pyroelectric effect by depositing a film containing a selected material in a first state over a front surface of the substrate. At least one electrode is formed on the film, portions of the film being exposed around the electrode. The exposed portions of the film are subjected to a treatment such that they are converted from the first state to a second state, in which the material has a resistivity that lies within a desired range of values.
