Skinput The Human Arm Touch screen Abstract Devices with significant computational power and capabilities can now be easily carried on our bodies. However‚ their small size typically leads to limited interaction space (e.g.‚ diminutive screens‚ buttons‚ and jog wheels) and consequently diminishes their usability and functionality. Since we cannot simply make buttons and screens larger without losing the primary benefit of small size‚ we consider alternative approaches that enhance interactions

Sleeping: Sleeping is associated with a state of muscle relaxation and limited perception of environmental stimuli. Sleep is a naturally recurring state characterized by reduced or absent consciousness‚ relatively suspended sensory activity‚ and inactivity of nearly all voluntary muscles. It is distinguished from wakefulness by a decreased ability to react to stimuli‚ and is more easily reversible than being in hibernation or a coma. Sleep is a heightened anabolic state‚ accentuating the growth

Botulism Botulism is a serious illness that causes flaccid paralysis of muscles. It is caused by a neurotoxin‚ generically called botulinum toxin‚ produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum (and rarely by C. butyricum and C. baratii). There are seven distinct neurotoxins (types A-G) that Clostridium botulinum produces‚ but types A‚ B‚ and E (and rarely F) are the most common that produce the flaccid paralysis in humans. The other types mainly cause disease in animals and birds‚ which also
