Page turning system

A device for holding reading materials for use by readers without arm mobility is presented. The device is adapted to hold the reading materials in position for reading with the pages displayed to enable turning by use of a rubber tipped stick that is held in the mouth and has a pair of rectangular frames. The frames are for holding and positioning the reading materials opened in reading posture with the pages displayed at a substantially unobstructed sighting position for reading. The pair of rectangular frames are connected to one another by a hinge so the angle between the frames may be varied thereby varying the inclination of the reading material. A pair of bent spring mounted wires for holding opposing pages of the reading material open for reading without substantial visual interference of the pages is mounted to the base. The wires are also adjustable to the thickness of the reading material and have a variable friction adjustment. This enables the force of the wires against the pages to be varied and permits the reader to manipulate the pages with the stick

Theoretical Investigation of Internal Rotation Barriers of 4-(Dimethylaminocinnamaldehyde)

Theoretical study on 4-dimethylaminocinnamaldehyde was done analyzing the barriers of rotation and interpretation of its Raman spectrum. B3LYP Density functional with basis sets up to 6-31G ** with additional f and d functions on C, N, O, and H respectively, calculations were performed. Results indicate trans conformation of the molecule had the lowest energy. Vibrational modes of interest were noted around 500, 1192, 1263, 1316, 1547, and 1608 cm-1. Observed strong enhancement at noted frequencies can be further studied in determining the molecule with other subatomic particles (Ag colloids)

Compliant walker

A compliant walker is provided for humans having limited use of their legs and lower back. It includes an upright wheel frame which at least partially surrounds an upright user wearing a partial body harness. It is attached to the frame by means of cable compliant apparatus consisting of sets of cable segments and angle bracket members connected between opposite side members of the frame and adjacent side portions of the harness. Novelty is believed to exist in the combination of a wheeled frame including a side support structure, a body harness, and compliance means connecting the body harness to the side support structure for flexibility holding and supporting a person in a substantially upright position when the user sags in the frame when taking weight off the lower extremities

The Future of Particle Physics

After a very brief review of twentieth century elementary particle physics, prospects for the next century are discussed. First and most important are technological limits of opportunities; next, the future experimental program, and finally the status of the theory, in particular its limitations as well as its opportunities.Comment: Invited talk given at the International Conference on Fundamental Sciences: Mathematics and Theoretical Physics, Singapore, 13-17 March 200
