Abstract: Embodiments of the invention provide a human interface device including an inner sphere, wherein the inner sphere has a center point. The human interface device can further include an outer sphere, and the outer sphere may be compressible. The human interface device may also include a plurality of pressure sensors between the inner sphere and the outer sphere for detecting localized compression of the outer sphere, a first three-axis-accelerometer located within the inner sphere, and a second three-axis-accelerometer located within the inner sphere, wherein the first three-axis-accelerometer and the second three-axis-accelerometer-accelerometer are each located at least a predetermined distance from the center point.

Abstract: An optical display system includes a projection system for outputting images having an image refresh frequency and a two-dimensional screen for receiving the images. The screen is coupled to a motion unit which allows a motion of the screen at a frequency which is equal to the refresh frequency of the images.

Abstract: A recipient message system receiving an email message set of two or more email messages and a related condition from a sender to a recipient. The recipient message system detects an attempt from the recipient to read the message set at a second time instance and evaluates the condition at the second time instance. If the evaluation of the condition results in the first evaluation value, the recipient is provided with the first email message in response to the attempt to read the message set, wherein the recipient is not able to read the second email message in this event. If the evaluation of the condition results in the second evaluation value, the recipient is provided with the second email message in response to the attempt to read the message set, wherein the recipient is not able to read the first email message in this event.

Abstract: A mechanism is provided for routing a computing task to a computing resource for executing the computing task. A dispatcher receives a timestamp at which execution of the computing task can start on the computing resource and a duration that the execution would take. The computing resource is associated with a power consumption profile. The dispatcher estimates a power efficiency factor as a function of the power consumption profile, the timestamp and the duration thereby forming an estimated power efficiency factor. The dispatcher determines whether the computing resource can execute the computing task as a function of the estimated power efficiency factor. The dispatcher then sends the computing task to the computing resource in responsive to determining that the computing resource can execute the computing task.
