Abstract: Method, apparatus and system to modify a user interface implemented in a communication network associated with a plurality of mobile devices. In one embodiment a mobile device associated with a communication network is configured to sense mood data that quantifies a frustration parameter based at least in part on interaction of a user with a user interface mode portion of a user interface and associates the mood data with mode data, wherein the mode data identifies the user interface mode operation of a user interface and transfers the mood data and the mode data to a mobile service provider portion of the communication network. Furthermore, the mobile service provide may transfer at least a portion of an updated user interface to one or more of the plurality of mobile devices based at least in part on the identification of the one or more user interface modes that are frustrating.

Abstract: Technologies are generally described for systems and methods effective to provide a gesture keyboard that can be utilized with a virtual display. In an example, the method includes receiving sensory information associated with an object in proximity to, or in contact with, an input device including receiving at least one level of interaction differentiation detected from at least three levels of interaction differentiation, interpreting a command from the sensory information as a function of the at least one level of interaction differentiation, and outputting an action indication based on the command.

Abstract: Implementations and techniques for quantifying frustration via a user interface are generally disclosed.

Abstract: A blade has a hard, thin layer of ceramic on one side, so that when the blade is sharpened on the other side the very hard ceramic is disposed at the cutting edge. The ceramic (for example, TiN) may be deposited by vacuum deposition. The surface onto which the ceramic is deposited is specular (mirror-like), so that it is flat or smooth on the order of a wavelength of light. The ceramic layer, which is very thin, takes the form of a flat plate, when viewed on a microscopic scale. The ceramic forms a cutting plate at the edge of the blade.
