The present invention encompasses a control system and method for systems of producing and consuming units. The method of the invention includes the steps of setting each producing unit to have an output responsive to an analog signal representative of a market price, and connecting each producing unit to a marketwire, with the changes in the analog signal on the marketwire representing changes in the market price resulting from inputs from the consuming units and the output response of each producing unit.

Distributed control of non-linear coupled systems with a single output

A device supporting a user interface includes a feedback module for presenting information related to a data structure and a processor for controlling the feedback module and the data structure. The device also has a detector for determining handedness of a user, allowing modification of the displayed data structure based on handedness of a user.

Handedness detection for a physical manipulatory grammar

A device supporting a manipulatable user interface includes a feedback module for presenting information related to a data structure, along with a processor for controlling the feedback module and the data structure. The feedback module can include non-visual tactile displays, auditory displays, or visual displays. A wide range of manipulatory actions, including morphemes such as folds, tears, twists, bends and various spatial or environmental transformations can be applied to a connected deformable piece. Since the deformable piece contacts at least one sensor that monitors positional changes within multiple subregions of the deformable piece, various commands can be given to the device through manipulation of the deformable piece.
