An apparatus, method and computer program product are provided for facilitating blind usage of an electronic device having a touchscreen. The electronic device may sense the location of a user's finger on the touchscreen and generate, at that location, an output associated with an object capable of being selected. Generating the output may include displaying an icon and/or generating a sensation associated with the object. Alternatively, generating an output may include generating a sensation or tactile feedback that guides the user to the location of an icon associated with the object. In addition, or alternatively, each of a plurality of objects may have a different sensation associated therewith. The electronic device may output the sensation of the various objects upon receipt of a tactile input at different locations on the touchscreen, so that the user can move his or her finger around the touchscreen until he can feel the desired object.

The present invention discloses a dynamic massaging device coupled to an exercise apparatus. This unique system allows users to increase the amount of physical activity in their daily lives while simultaneously stimulating the natural ability of the body to heal itself through induced relaxation and decreased stress. The device provides for an adjustable walking surface. The walking surface contains a belt or mat which in turn support a variety of small protruding elements from the surface. Both the belt and protruding elements on the belt are adjustable to provide different walking environments. The purpose of the belt and various mechanisms located on the belt are ultimately to change the location of the protruding elements over time. The purpose of the protruding elements are to cause a depression in some part of the body, particularly the feet. These elements are adjustable in that they can be changed between sessions of use or during sessions of use to provide varied sensations.

Methods and a device comprising a controller/processor unit (664), a visual test-pattern unit (660), a competing sensory stimuli generating unit (662), a user input device (666), an ouput device (668) and a storage unit (670) for detecting eye disease and for assessing the clinical stage of an eye disease in an individual is disclosed. The methods include projecting test patterns onto the retina of a tested eye and subjecting the individual to a competing sensory stimuli. The competing stimuli may be of various different sensory modalities including visual, auditory, or other sensory modalities. If the individual perceives a difference in at least one localized part of the perceived image of a test pattern as compared to a predefined reference pattern, the individual provides a response indicative of the difference or differences. The responses are processed to assess the severity of eye disease if a disease is detected, or to determine the clinical stage of a detected eye disease.

A selection apparatus providing user friendly interface for visually impaired people. The selection apparatus may contain a touch screen and a guide structure. The guide structure is disposed along the touch buttons in the touch screen, and contains touch points corresponding to the touch buttons. The touch points are designed such that a different sensation is felt when a user slides an object (e.g., finger) along the selection structure. An exit may be designed to help lead the object from each touch point to corresponding touch button. Thus, a visually impaired person may slide a finger along the guide structure, feel a touch points and use the associated exit to locate a corresponding touch button.

The present invention is a composition for making high quality, mold resistant, water proof building products. The composition from which these products are formed is a mixture of various polyethylene or polypropylene materials, in conjunction with fillers which may comprise recycled rubber products such as ethylene propylene-diene monomers, and styrene butadiene rubber, or mineral fillers to achieve a different feel and texture to the formulation without compromising the integrity of the product. This is achieved by altering the melt and amount of the high and/or low density polyethylene or polypropylene in the mix to end up with the correct material integrity. Colorants may be additionally be added to the mixture prior to final molding. This composition allows for products to be made that resemble traditional building products, but with a higher performance level that are also recyclable in their entirety.

A voxel database can store and manage a set of voxel records in a voxel table. Each of the records can have a unique voxel identifier. Each voxel record can include a set of different sensory attributes. The sensory attributes can include visual attributes, spectral signature attributes, olfaction attributes, audition attributes, gustation attributes, somatsensory attributes, and material composition attributes. Uniquely defined voxels of voxel database can be a volume unit on a grid (regular or non-regular) in three dimensional space, which is a voxel space. A correspondence can exist between voxels in the voxel space and volume units of a real world volumetric space from which geospatial data was directly gathered and encoded within the voxel database. Voxel space can be mapped to simulation space. Thus, simulators can consume data of the voxel space to generate three dimensional immersive environments having multisensory output.

This invention discloses a set of interchangeable bushing seat inserts which can be removably attached to the bushing seat on a hanger in any skateboard type truck to allow for different set ups and create different feelings. By having different bushing seat insert options, the rider can “tune” or adjust the feel and handling of the truck for different riding styles or courses. The interchangeable inserts may be of different geometry/shape and size and once inserted into the bushing seat area, it forms a new base and side for the bushing seat area, thus affecting the base and side of the bushing seat area. The possibilities for geometric changes to the inserts are almost limitless. This invention is also directed to a modified skateboard truck with an enlarged bushing seat which allows for the insertion (by any practical means) of specifically shaped inserts which surround the bushing.
