Characteristics and usage patterns of older people in a 3D online multi-user virtual environment

3D online multi-user virtual environments (MUVEs) have a lot of potential in supporting older people in their daily lives, yet little research has been conducted to explore how older people engage with this type of technology. This paper aims to investigate the characteristics, user groups and activity patterns (particularly social networks and gift giving behaviour) of older users within a 3D online multi-user virtual environment. Data from approximately 5000 online user profiles of older and younger users from a 3D MUVE, namely IMVU, was collected for analysis. Overall, we identified several distinct patterns of use (e.g. size of social ties, level of reciprocity, etc.) among older users when compared with younger users. We also found that despite the capabilities of 3D MUVEs to provide the users immersion in alternative realities, a feature well embraced by younger users in this study, older users seemed more interested in activities which serve as an extension to their physical life.

One‐Step Formation of a Single Atomic‐Layer Transistor by the Selective Fluorination of a Graphene Film

In this study, the scalable and one‐step fabrication of single atomic‐layer transistors is demonstrated by the selective fluorination of graphene using a low‐damage CF₄ plasma treatment, where the generated F‐radicals preferentially fluorinated the graphene at low temperature (<200 °C) while defect formation was suppressed by screening out the effect of ion damage. The chemical structure of the C–F bonds is well correlated with their optical and electrical properties in fluorinated graphene, as determined by X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, and optical and electrical characterizations. The electrical conductivity of the resultant fluorinated graphene (F‐graphene) was demonstrated to be in the range between 1.6 kΩ/sq and 1 MΩ/sq by adjusting the stoichiometric ratio of C/F in the range between 27.4 and 5.6, respectively. Moreover, a unique heterojunction structure of semi‐metal/semiconductor/insulator can be directly formed in a single layer of graphene using a one‐step fluorination process by introducing a Au thin‐film as a buffer layer. With this heterojunction structure, it would be possible to fabricate transistors in a single graphene film via a one‐step fluorination process, in which pristine graphene, partial F‐graphene, and highly F‐graphene serve as the source/drain contacts, the channel, and the channel isolation in a transistor, respectively. The demonstrated graphene transistor exhibits an on‐off ratio above 10, which is 3‐fold higher than that of devices made from pristine graphene. This efficient transistor fabrication method produces electrical heterojunctions of graphene over a large area and with selective patterning, providing the potential for the integration of electronics down to the single atomic‐layer scale.

Singularity robust algorithm in serial manipulators

Singularity is a fundamental problem with robotic manipulators. Various methods of singularity handling have been published in the past. In this paper, a singularity robust method is presented and its implementation issues discussed. It focuses on the discontinuity problem inherent in the singularity robust techniques with removal of degenerate components. Sources of the discontinuity are discussed and the null motion is proposed as the means of providing a continuous control of the end-effector over the boundary of the singular region. The presentation of this paper covers a complete treatment of singularities, starting from identifications of the singular configurations and the associated singular directions, the handling algorithm and the discontinuity issues. The algorithm was implemented on PUMA 560. The experimental results are presented and discussed.
