A device for presentation and training in project work or group work includes a housing with cages configured in the interior to be adjacent to a surface segment at least in each corner and/or in the edges and/or in grids. A permanent magnet is arranged in each of the cages so that all magnets can orient themselves. The housing includes an electronic unit having a data memory on which at least one ID number is stored, a switch, and a transmitter connected to the switch and having an antenna. The transmitter wirelessly transmits the ID number to a controller and trigger a further process, which assigns the device a meaning within the scope of the project or group work. A related set comprises at least two devices, and can be used for presentation, training, project work or group work. A related method for digitalizing manually compiled specifications uses the set.

Disclosed is a mobile robot. The mobile robot including a programmable input module includes a processor controlling the mobile robot, an input module receiving a command for programming the mobile robot from a user, a sensor module sensing an ambient change of the mobile robot, and an operation module operating depending on the action command input from the input module when the processor executes a command sequence including a command input from the input module. The control command includes a repeat command, and the processor repeats the execution of the action command input from the input module before the repeat command is input.

The present invention provides an educational device for teaching various subjects utilizing a tray with an array of contact-embedded recesses for receiving a plurality of stackable blocks with corresponding contacts. Each block includes an electrical component such as resistors and/or capacitors, the value of which is ascertained by a processing circuit within the tray. Each block represents a particular portion of program code, such that the placement of the blocks creates program code comprising the code portions represented by the blocks. Upon a button press by the user the tray then sends information about the blocks present on the tray to an output device. The tray has the capability of sending messages representing the blocks to a variety of outputs via a wireless communication device.

An audio demonstration kit encourages understanding of audio concepts by enabling children to construct and study speaker performance. In a particular example, the audio demonstration kit includes a paper speaker and instructions. The paper speaker includes a backplate, a suspension, and a diaphragm cut from a single sheet of paper. The demonstration kit may feature an amplifier that is configurable to accommodate various hardware additions as a child is ready for more progressively challenging construction. For example, the amplifier of an example allows single and dual mode operation, as well as drives a rotary motor and is coordinated with a strobe light. The amplifier of an example is synchronized with the strobe light and a moveable platform to create the impression of that jiggling figures attached to the table are dancing. Interfaces with smart phone, recording, and other technologies further enhances and encourages the learning experience.

A building block type character module comprises at least two character marks, a first module interface and a second module interface. The first module interface includes a direction detection interface, and the second module interface includes a direction transfer interface. The direction transfer interface includes at least two direction transfer contacts each electrically connected with a direction identification element. The direction detection interface is used to detect the parameters of the direction transfer contact. The building block type spelling system including the building block type character module and the building block type spelling host can calculate the character mark of each of the building block type character modules corresponding to the side of the building block type spelling host toward the user, and read the spelling sentence. The required number of the building block type character modules is small and easy to be found.

Using various embodiments, methods and systems for assisted programming using an interconnectable block based system are described. In one embodiment, the system comprises a plurality of interconnectable blocks, and a processing unit. The processing unit can determine a programming language construct, or the portion thereof, based on a sequence in which the plurality of interconnectable blocks are connected to each other and execute the programming language construct, or the portion thereof, and transmit the output to an output device. The output device, can be coupled to the interconnectable block based system and can be at least an electroacoustic transducer device or an electroluminescent device.

A device implementing dynamic library access based on proximate programmable item detection includes a sensor and a processor configured to detect, using the sensor, a programmable physical item in a proximate area. The processor is further configured to, responsive to detecting the programmable physical item, provide an indication of available functions for programming the programmable physical item. The processor is further configured to receive input of code that comprises at least one of the available functions for programming the programmable physical item. The processor is further configured to program the programmable physical item based at least in part on the code. In one or more implementations, the processor may be further configured to translate the code into a set of commands for programming the programmable physical item and to transmit the set of commands to the programmable physical item.

A system is described. A computing processor is configured to: represent recorded data capable of being consciously experienced by a user through a sensory form as an indexed sequence and maintain the indexed sequence; provide the recorded data to the user in the sensory form while the user is being monitored for a plurality of points in the indexed sequence at which electrical neural signals as evoked by the user in reaction to the providing of the recorded data, are captured; pair the signals with portions of the recorded data corresponding to the plurality of points at which the signals were evoked and reorganize the recorded data as categorized by the signals; measure and analyze the signals to identify one or more physiologic responses that fall below the levels of self-awareness and cognitive awareness; and inform the user of the one or more physiologic responses.
