A control system basing on the use of gestures and functioning especially in mobile terminals. The gesture control system is provided with a general purpose interface () with its commands for applications () to be controlled. The processing software () of the gesture signals includes a training program (), trained free-form gestures made by the user being stored in the gesture library, and a recognizing program (), which matches a gesture made by the user to the stored gestures and chooses the most similar gesture thereof. Gestures can hence be used as commands for controlling any application configured or programmed to receive the command. One and the same application functions in different models of mobile terminals without matching, and in a certain mobile terminal all applications can be run, which applications use specified interface commands. The application () can be e.g. a game or activity being included in basic implementation of a mobile terminal.

Gesture control system

An approach is provided for construction and aggregation of distributed computations. A distributed computation construction infrastructure identifies an execution context bound to a user context at a device, the execution context corresponding to one or more processes executing at the device. The distributed computation construction infrastructure further causes, at least in part, decomposition of the execution context into one or more closure primitives and respective process states, wherein the one or more closure primitives represent computation closures of the one or more processes. The distributed computation construction infrastructure also causes, at least in part, serialization of the one or more closure primitives, the process states, or a combination thereof. The distributed computation construction infrastructure further causes, at least in part, aggregation of the one or more primitives and the respective process states to reconstruct at least a portion of the execution context based, at least in part, on consistency determination.

Method and apparatus for construction and aggregation of distributed computations

A low-cost breakable inertial threshold sensor using mainly micro-machining silicon technology constructed on a silicon-wafer or on some other brittle material according to the MEMS process. The sensor comprises a first body portion, a second body portion, and detecting means for giving an indication if the second body portion has damaged the detecting means. The status of the sensor can be read in various ways. In one embodiment the status is remotely readable.

An integrated tunable resonator for radio includes an RF resonator having a micromechanical tunable capacitor with high Q- (quality factor) value. A first conducting layer ( ) forms the first capacitor electrode ( ), and/or the electrodes ( ) to create the electrostatic force on a movable micromechanical structure ( ), and the interconnecting wire ( ) between the inductor coil ( ) and the capacitor electrode. This arrangement with the use of a dielectric insulating layer provides a substantial improvement to the linearity, power consumption, occupation space and reliability of RF resonator circuits.

Micromechanical tunable capacitor and an integrated tunable resonator

The invention relates to a micromechanical structures that include movable elements. In particular the invention relates to an arrangement for coupling such movable elements to other structures of a microelectromechanical system (MEMS). The invention is characterized in that the arrangement comprises at least one coupling means ( ) for coupling the movable element to the fixed structure, and at least one flexible means ( ) for allowing different thermal expansion between the movable element and the other structure in the direction which is substantially perpendicular to the characteristic movement of the movable element, wherein said coupling means and/or flexible means is reinforced in the direction of the characteristic movement of the movable element.
