Contextcapture

Abstract

In this paper, we investigate the usage of context-based awareness cues in informal information sharing, especially in social networking services. We present an experimental mobile application, which allows users to add different descriptions of context information to their Facebook status updates. The meaningfulness and the usage of different context descriptions were evaluated in a two-week user trial. The results show that the most frequently used awareness cues in the test setting were location, surroundings, friends and activity. The results also indicate that user-defined semantic abstractions of context items (e.g. "home", "work") were often more informative and useful than more accurate indicators (e.g. the address or the name of the place). We also found out that using shared context from friends in vicinity (e.g. identifying the people around) needs careful design to overcome the extended privacy implications.

Charge storage and mechanical properties of porous PTFE and composite PTFE/COC electrets

“…Results show that inherent advantages include a simple and compact construction, higher efficiency, and an excellent high-frequency response. In recent years, electret actuators have been perfected to complete the idea of its use as a flexible loudspeaker [17][18][19][20].…”
