  • Publication number: 20130215148
    Abstract: An interactive input system comprises computing structure; and an input device detecting at least one physical object carrying a recognizable pattern within a three-dimensional (3D) input space and providing output to the computing structure, wherein the computing structure processes the output of the input device to: recognize the pattern carried by the at least one physical object in the 3D input space; and modify an image presented on a display surface by applying a transition to digital content associated with the at least one physical object based on a detected state of the at least one physical object.

  • Patent number: 8502789
    Abstract: An interactive input system comprises a display surface and processing structure communicating with the display surface. The processing structure presents on the display surface at least one graphic object, the graphic object having properties and a respective solution state comprising a value of at least one property. The processing structure in response to gesture input manipulates the value of the at least one property, and provides an indication as to whether the graphic object is in its solution state in response to the application of a predetermined amount of pressure against the display surface in association with the graphic object. A method and computer readable medium are also provided.

  • Patent number: 6235495
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to a method for determining the level of oxidized glutathione, or the ratio of reduced glutathione to oxidized glutathione, in a biological sample utilizing the thiol scavenging reagent 1-methyl-2-vinylpyridinium trifluoromethanesulfonate or another salt thereof at a level which rapidly scavenges reduced glutathione but does not interfere with the measurement of oxidized glutathione.
