Dolichoderus dentatus is found in dry sclerophyll woodlands and savannah of eastern Queensland from the Atherton Tablelands south to Cooloola Recreation Area, Great Sandy National Park. Its glandular compounds were examined by Cavill and Hinterberger (1960a, 1960b) while notes on its venom and venom apparatus were provided by Blum and Hermann (1978).
Pronotum and propodeum with elongate spines; the long pronotal spines are directed anteriorly and approximately parallel to the longitudinal axis of the body; in dorsal view a line drawn between their tips lies anterior of the pronotal collar.
The long, anteriorly directed pronotal spines will distinguish this species from all other Australian Dolichoderus species.

West Virginia is considered coal country. Delaware is considered BLOOMDOGGLE country. Unlike the first state, the mountain state is going ahead with a combined cycle natural gas power station that makes economic as well as environmental sense.
The folks in the first state got the Bloom Energy BLOOMDOGGLE. The folks in the mountain state got affordable green energy.
Al Gore and his buddies sold the Markell administration in Delaware power for $220 per megawatt hour using natural gas, the West Virginians will get power for $65 per megawatt hour using the very same natural gas more efficiently and effectively. The folks in the mountain state will get power with only 730 pounds of CO2 emissions per megawatt hour and without solid sulfur waste. The folks in the first state pay through the nose and get gangrene energy from the BLOOM COFFINS with higher CO2 emissions and solid waste that contains sulfur but is hidden from them.
The West Virginians are fortunate that Al Gore, Colin Powell, and John Doerr were Governor Markell's friends rather than cronies of their governor Mr. Tomblin. Randy Huffman is the man in charge of the environment in the mountain state. He has a degree in mining engineering and actually understands a little thermodynamics. The first state is unfortunate to have Mr. Colin O'Mara looking after their environment. Mr. O'Mara signed off on the BLOOMDOGGLE permit application with a cut and paste job, and was the rubber stamper for Governor Markell and higher ups in the party in the nation's capital.
Here is a radio show that explains how Mr. O'Mara operates.
Mr. O'Mara attended Oxford University in England. This goes to show that very smart people can do very dumb things when politically motivated. Mr. O'Mara approved a dirty, expensive, and unreliable power project in Delaware to help him and his boss win favor with Al Gore, Colin Powell, and John Doerr as well as the movers and shakers in Washington DC. Randy Huffman did what is right for the citizens of the mountain state. Note my absent congressman is Jared Huffman and I hope for Randy's sake they are very distant relatives. Jared Huffman's BLOOMDOGGLES in the California Assembly are also being unraveled like a gangrene onion. My guess is Jared Huffman and Colin O'Mara were twins separated at birth. Colin was the far smarter twin brother.
I have been wondering why DELMARVA Power entered into the deal to act as Bloom's agent in the BLOOMDOGGLE of DELMARVA's customers in Delaware???
I have blogged about the fraudulent overcharge for excess natural gas above the permitted maximum quantity in generating "unbetter" electrons from the Bloom coffins in the coastal zone of the first state. DELMARVA is a party to this crime. But why would a large utility become entangled in a BLOOMDOGGLE of major greenwashing and financial fraud proportions?
We have to go back a few years. The government of the first state wanted greener energy in Delaware and had dictated that DELMARVA should enter into power purchase agreements for wind and solar generated power. Of particular interest is a project called Blue Water Wind that was intended to supply 200 megawatts of offshore wind power to DELMARVA under an executed power purchase agreement (PPA). This project on the rocks in May 2011 for lack of funding. This possible abandonment occurred three years after the project was first announced. The PPA was for a term of 25 five years and probably would have entailed a purchase of several hundred million dollars of wind power by DELMARVA Power.
What was not reported by the Daily Record was that DELMARVA sorely wanted out of the PPA that was forced upon it by the Delaware state government as accounting rules would require DELMARVA to recognize the future payments under the PPA as debt on its balance sheet.
Note the news of the possible demise of the Blue Water project was on May 30, 2011 and this coincides with the permit preparations and bogus tariff approval that allowed the Bloom Boondoggle, the BLOOMDOGGLE, to occur. In January 2012 NRG the developer of the Blue Water project placed the project into a cryogenic deep freeze. Remember Secretary O/Mara issued his bogus coastal zone act completeness report for the Bloom project on February 10, 2012. NRG was probably told to go fly a kite in the windy blue waters off the coast that would soon host the Bloom Coffins.
DELMARVA Power may have cleverly slinked away from BLUE WATER, but now that they are a direct party to fraudulent billing to the customers they are licensed to protect under a bogus tariff that exceeds the maximum permitted quantity of natural gas. They are now actually in HOT WATER. Hillary Clinton had WHITE WATER, DELMARVA Power had BLUE WATER, and none of these folks could ever find GREEN WATER as they all simply sucked all the GREEN out of the water.
As for Governor Markell and Secretary O'Mara neither of them walk on water and both should attend a junior college and learn some ethics and thermodynamics. Better still they should be spending all their time preparing their court defense in the case of Fuel Cell Energy that a federal judge ruled has merit for the cronyism these two gangrene politicians exhibited in welcoming the Bloom BLOOMDOGGLE to the first state.
A few weeks ago I spoke with a friend that develops wind power projects in Colorado. He told me that new wind turbines are now being designed with smaller generators using larger blades and the have capacity factors of over 50% in windy places like Colorado or Iowa. This absolutely amazing! Ten years ago it was state of the art to gain wind power with a capacity factor of 25%. The doubling of the capacity factor implies halving of the unit cost of power generation if the capital cost remained constant.
I called General Electric and they confirmed their new turbines with 1.6 megawatts of output and equipped with blades of over 100 meters in diameter will achieve a capacity factor that exceeds 50%. They also confirmed that wind power can now be generated for under 5 cents per kilowatt hour without any government subsidy. This is great news and now that we has abundant supply of natural gas for gas fired power stations it makes sense to have wind and natural gas generate as much of the electricity as is possible. I am not sure that the government needs to continue funding wind energy now that its cost has reached parity with the grid, but the massive subsidies for wind energy are continuing. After these subsidies the levelized cost of producing wind energy from new wind farms can be as low as 2.6 cents per kilowatt hour.
The link below that my wife found gives very interesting facts on wind energy and is worth looking at.
Wind energy is certainly a success story in the renewable energy portfolio as is silicon based solar cells. The PV and wind energy power are now competitive with the grid and the government should now use the money for education and healthcare and let these industries stand on their own feet.
In Delaware, the federal court ruled that the challenge to Bloom Energy deal did have a basis and that Fuel Cell Energy a company that competes with Bloom has standing to bring Governor Markell to court for the shady deal he and his administration concocted to use dirty, inefficient and expensive Bloom Coffins instead of wind and PV power. Note the folks in the first state are paying approximately 22 cents per kilowatt hour for electricity under the bloomdoggle. this is more than four times as expensive as wind energy without subsidy and eight times as expensive with subsidy.
The Delaware surcharge is the nonsense Governor Markell invented to pretend that the dirty power from Bloom Coffins were in fact a replacement for wind and solar that should have been built in the first state. In a smoke and sulfur filled room, the Governor and Bloom plotted how the rate payers in Delaware would unfairly and illegally subsidize Bloom so that the governor's friends Al Gore, John Doerr, and Colin Powell could get the money (massive subsidy) from DELMARVA's customers.
Had wind projects been built in Delaware there probably would be no need for subsidies and certainly there would not be the massive CO2 emissions and vast quantities of hazardous sulfur containing solid waste that the Bloom Coffins create. Governor Markell in his haste to help his friends has now burdened his citizens with long term unnecessary subsidies and is adversely affecting the citizens' physical health and wellbeing.
Governor Markell it is great you will be hauled to federal court to explain this. Bravo to the federal magistrate who wants the rule of law to return to most corrupt state in the union. I do hope that the Bloom Coffins are ripped out of the coastal zone where they should never have been placed and are replaced with wind turbines that need no massive subsidy and do not emit copious amounts of harmful CO2 and VOCs into the air. Also the owners of the wind farms will not sneak out tons of hazardous sulfur laden solid waste in tanks as Bloom has admitted to doing. Yes I have written evidence directly from Bloomdoggle that they have removed sulfur in tanks from their coffins in the coastal zone of Delaware.
Drop Box announced the appointed Condi Rice to their board of directors. Of course Condi has tons of free time after resigning in disgrace from KIOR's board. The gangrene monster who was the architect of the war in Iraq has drawn the ire of drop box users who have no trust of the megalomaniac having access to billions of documents and images they use drop box to store. How deep is people's distrust of the piano playing gangrene monster? It is bloody large. Condi could not find weapons of mass destruction, nor weapons of mass combustion, but folks are paranoid she will help the NSA find information in their drop box files.
My advice to drop box is to distance themselves from this lady who is a distant cousin of the truth. Let her ruin the minds of young people who study at Stanford. She and Stevie Not So Wonder Chu Chu are best suited to hide on a university campus where they can do the least harm to the rest of us. These two third rate civil servants have caused massive harm to the United States. One is guilty of war crimes and the other is guilty of violating the laws of thermo.
We know Chu Chu does not own a car. His wife owns a BMW while Condi owns a Mercedes Benz. I guess the Chus and Rices have to support Angela Merkel for some reason rather than supporting Detroit.
Chu joined the board of Amprius. That company better have lots of money as Chu is simply has the un-midas touch.
Unfortunately folks I broke my collar bone so that is all I can write about Chu and Condi for now.
Happy Passover and Easter and if you use drop box threaten to boycott unless they drop Condi.
Dear GREENEXPLORED readers I have been mighty quiet on Bloom Energy but this is because I have been working hard to gather evidence of alleged fraud by Bloom Energy and Delmarva Power against the customers of Delmarva Power in Delaware. My investigation has uncovered significant overcharges for natural gas beyond the maximum quantity of natural gas in the final permit application. I wrote to two Deputy Attorney Generals and the Attorney General of Delaware (Mr. Beau Biden) outlining the allegations today. Below is my letter that was faxed at 1:20 pm pacific time this 8th day of April 2014.
I will report on developments. To date Bloom has collected $41,628,118 in subsidies from the customers of Delmarva Power for the unreliable, dirty, and expensive electricity they sell from their 30 megawatts of Bloom Coffins in the state.
Each month towards the end of the month Delmarva Power prepares a monthly filing for the approval by the Public Service Commission of Delaware (PSC) of the Qualified Fuel Cell Provider Project Tariff. The latest monthly filing dated March 28, 2014 is attached and is referenced in this fraud allegation.
The calculation worksheet on the last page of the filing provides the calculation of the amount of money (subsidy to Bloom Energy) Delmarva Power will collect from its customers in Delaware. On line 11 of the worksheet Delmarva Power lists a "heat rate". This heat rate is the quantity of natural gas used to generate a unit of electric power and is in millions of BTUs per megawatt hour. As you can see from the attached filing, this heat rate is 7.19 million BTUs per megawatt hour for the month of June 2014 and 7.16 million BTUs per megawatt hour for May 2014. The heat rate is then multiplied by the unit cost of natural gas to determine the amount of money Delmarva Power's customers will be charged for the natural gas used by the Bloom Fuel Cells. Delmarva Power acts as Bloom Energy's agent to collect money from customers and then gives the money collected from its customers to Bloom Energy.
The General Manager of Bloom Electrons, Mr. William Brokenborough, under penalty of perjury submitted a revised and final permit application on January 13, 2012 to the Delaware DNREC. On February 10 2012 Mr. Colin O'Mara the secretary of the DNREC wrote a completeness report on the subject of the Bloom Energy project and accepted and affirmed the data provided by Mr. Brokenborough in the January 13, 2012 final permit application to be complete and correct. Note the data submitted by Mr. Brockenborough on January 13, 2012 were the final data submitted by Bloom prior to the issuance of the permit by the DNREC.
I quote from Mr. Brokenborough's January 13, 2012 Final Permit Application Titled Revised Application To Construct, Operate, or Modify Stationary Sources. Under Project Description he states "each fuel cell has a base electrical output of 200 kw with a maximum natural gas usage of 1.32 MMBTU per hour". For your reference kw is kilowatts and MMBTU per hour is millions of BTUs per hour. The front page of the January 13, 2012 final permit application with this quote is attached for your reference.
For your reference one megawatt is 1,000 kilowatts. Therefore five Bloom fuel cells each of 200 kilowatts will generate one megawatt of electrical power. Five fuel cells will use five times as much natural gas as one fuel cell. Therefore per Mr. Brokenborough's admission under penalty of perjury the maximum usage of natural gas would amount to 5 times 1.32 million BTUs per hour per megawatt which equals 6.60 million BTUs per hour per megawatt. Restated this is a heat rate of 6.6 million BTUs per megawatt hour. The maximum permitted quantity of natural gas to be used is therefore indisputably 6.6 million BTUs per megawatt hour.
Yet Delmarva Power and Bloom Energy have collected money each month from Delmarva Power's customers for a period of more than 18 months using heat rates that exceed 6.6 million BTUs per megawatt hour which is the maximum permitted amount. This is akin to permitting a five story building but building a six story building and then renting out an extra unpermitted floor. In a nutshell Bloom operates beyond the permitted quantity of natural gas and correspondingly Delmarva Power charges its customers beyond the permitted quantity of natural gas. Using the data from the Delmarva Power filing that is attached the May 2014 charges for natural at 7.19 million BTUs per megawatt hour are a 9% overcharge compared with the permitted maximum quantity of 6.6 million BTUs per megawatt hour.
Returning to the analogy of a building, if the owner of building applied and received a permit for only a five story building but built a six story building their occupancy permit would be terminated and they would be forced to demolish the building. Bloom's operating permit for the subject power plant should be revoked and all money illegally and fraudulently collected by Delmarva Power from its customers should be returned. Bloom's power generation stations (Brookside and Red Lion) should be shut until such time they can operate with only using a maximum of 1.32 million BTUs per hour in each and every one of their fuel cells. Their General Manager under penalty of perjury and in writing claimed this quantity to be the maximum usage of natural gas in their final permit application. Note the quoted statement in the final permit application is "each fuel cell has a base electrical output of 200 kw with a maximum natural gas usage of 1.32 MMBTU per hour". Therefore each 200 kw fuel cell that Bloom Energy has installed and operates must meet this threshold of natural gas efficiency or remain shut. All 150 fuel cells installed by Bloom Energy need to meet this requirement before they should be allowed to continue to operate the power plants.
You must remember that increased natural gas usage means increased CO2 emissions. The EPA has ruled and the US Supreme Court has affirmed that CO2 is harmful to the health and wellbeing of citizens. The Delaware Department of Justice must uphold the laws of the land and must bring criminal charges against Bloom Energy and Delmarva alleging the fraudulent operation of a power plant and the fraudulent billing of charges to customers of Delmarva Power who live in Delaware.
I can be reached at xxxxxxxxx on my cell phone or yyyyyyyyy on my home phone. Please note that I and my newspaper the Tiburon Ark won First Prize for a Serious Column in the National Newspapers Association 2013 awards for the greenwashing boondoggle Bloom has perpetrated in Dealware. I look forward to reporting to my readers that criminal charges alleging fraudulent billing and operation of a power plant have been brought in Delaware against Bloom Energy and its agent Delmarva Power.
As soon as these criminal charges are brought, I suggest that a criminal investigation then begin into how the DNREC issued a permit. We now have written evidence that Bloom removed hazardous solid waste that contained sulfur in tanks from the coastal zone.
Attachments Delmarva Power March 28, 2014 Filing with the DE PSC and Page 1 of the January 13, 2012 Revised Application to Construct Operate, or Modify Stationary Sources.
Approximately 6 months ago KIOR had this story that Bill Gates and Vinod Khosla would play a major role in funding an identical second plant in Columbus Mississippi that would double the nameplate capacity of KIOR alchemic diesel from pine trees for an additional investment of $225 million.
This was still when Vinod Khosla was selling and Bill Gates was still buying the 92 gallons of diesel per ton of bone dry pine story. Since then KIOR has impaired and written down the cost of Columbus #1 "copy exact" facility to $40 million from $225 million. This write down was made because the auditors demanded it as the plant is incapable of producing name plate capacity and FASB accounting rules require it.
I had actually written to the board of directors of KIOR on July 13, 2013 that the plant should be written down as I predicted it would never be capable of reaching nameplate capacity. The Green Machine knows thermodynamics and can smell fake rats from a mile away. Of course I got no word from the board of directors as Condi Rice et. al. were still fibbing about the "reality" of KIOR. A good lawyer representing the folks who bought shares in KIOR and lost their money should ask for this email from the Green Machine to the board.
Bloomberg News who simply love Vinod Khosla, Al Gore and, other green illusionists still thinks KIOR has a chance. Sadly none of the Wall Street analysts who follow KIOR and none of the financial press have a clue about thermodynamics. There will be no Columbus #2 and Columbus #1 will eventually be put to sleep. The real question is who will go after Khosla and his adviser Condi Rice or will they slink away? I hope that the folks in Columbus find other jobs and simply forget the KIOR debacle. As I have reported KIOR means wash basin in Hebrew.
It is doubtful that the priests will soon be rebuilding the third KIOR in Jerusalem and there is little doubt a second KIOR plant will be built in Columbus. As for Condi and Vinod they will soon wash their hands of the debacle they promoted, hyped, and over sold. Bill Gates lost $7.5 million helping Vinod six months ago and this is just a drop in the KIOR for the richest man in the world.
Dr. Chu Chu Train is at Stanford and still dreams of how he can defeat silicon PV with CIGS ala Solyndara. His stupidity and lack of business acumen is apparent again this week. Remember Dr. Chu and his Boss gave away A 123 the battery maker to Wanxiang after having blown through our DOE money.
Wanxiang has already made $100 million by selling off an unwanted part of A 123 to NEC of Japan.
Well done Dr. Chu and Mr. Obama the two of you are brilliant at buying high selling low and then seeing the Chinese who bought you (actually us) out for Bupkis make a hundred million dollars while both of you talk nonsense about the brilliance of your energy policy.
Leslie Stahl of CBS Sixty Minutes in her piece that outed Obama's and Chu's cleantech interviewed the head of Wanxiang America and he said he is into Capitalism and dismissed Ms. Stahl's questioning of Wanxiang's motives. Obama and Chu are not capitalists they are the lost souls who still dream that Solyndra and their CIGS chemistry were the way to go in providing those good manufacturing jobs. If Adam Smith and Chairman Mao meet in the afterlife they can chuckle about Trading Places. I really worry about the students at Stanford and what they will learn from Chu and Rice two examples of folks who could not do yet teach.

APPLY now for the 2021/22 Creation Lab!
Are you a young composer or librettist living in Washington? Learn how you can get involved and be a part of our next class of creators.
EXPERIMENT. COLLABORATE. CREATE.
Seattle Opera seeks to cultivate the next generation of opera composers and librettists in Washington State through our Creation Lab. Beginning in the 2020/21 season, Seattle Opera will present eight new works by eight Washington State composer and librettist teams. These short operas will tell the diverse stories of our region through new compositions by local artists.
Composers, songwriters, librettists, and lyricists of all genres are encouraged to apply to create new operas that tell compelling, resonant stories through vocal music. Selected participants will develop a 20-minute opera to be presented in a concert format for a public audience in Tagney Jones Hall at the Opera Center in 2021. Each opera will undergo a development process that includes a table reading, music workshop, and rehearsal prior to the public performance. The creative teams will receive support from professional composers and librettists as they develop their work.
2020/21 participant bios
CHESS ALBANEzE
Chess Albaneze is a 29-year-old genderfluid autistic trans man from Seattle, Washington. Starting in the visual arts, Chess has used his autistic superpowers to transpose unique visuals to music. He has been composing for six years, and in that time has had his work guest-featured in Mary Bichner's Autumn Suite (2017), composed the original soundtrack for Transient (a 2018 documentary film by Mark Janavel depicting various interviews by trans folks during the first 100 days of Trump in office), and currently composes for the roleplaying adventure podcast Dandies in Danger (ongoing, available on iTunes, Spotify, and YouTube). Chess is most inspired by Schubert's lieder, Verdi's operas, Stephen Sondheim's Sweeney Todd, Gabriel-era Genesis, and modern progressive bands such as Son Lux. He believes that music's most important aspect is its ability to tell a moving, emotional story, which is why he is especially drawn to opera and art song. This love of storytelling extends to his other works, such as original comics, prose, crafting an original tarot deck, and even drag kinging (the art of dressing as a man for performance). Through all his projects, one thing remains constant: the love of eliciting empathy from the audience.
Chess was trained on the violin, piano, and voice, but halted voice training from what he would eventually discover was gender dysphoria. Nevertheless, these lessons greatly informed his ability to compose for the voice. Chess's genderfluidity informs his current song cycle Becoming Hyde, which features Robert Louis Stevenson's famous characters Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde sung by solo tenor with piano. Both characters weave in and out of the same voice, and, in choosing not to label which character is singing, Chess crafts the music itself to inform the singer through tonal color and clever use of character-assigned keys. "I wanted the characters to remain fluid, as through my own experience I find that I ebb in and out of different gender identities, yet always remain, at the core, myself."
Chess's music is Romantic in style, with an underlying melancholy and frailty, at times weaving between bitterly visceral and delicately haunting. He believes art has a moral responsibility to society, and thinks critically before creating art in any of his mediums. He believes art's greatest power is to help people empathize with experiences outside of their own, and that empathy is our greatest tool against hatred and discrimination.

Mirabai Kukathas
Mirabai Kukathas is a storyteller. A playwright, spirited conversationalist, and (maybe most importantly) a singer/songwriter, she loves nothing more than telling an absurd story with an honest emotional core. People often tell Mirabai she was born in the wrong millennium (what with her hippie hair and obsession with folk music) but she'd much rather be in this one, thank you very much, where she can vote and marry who she likes and watch WALL-E for the millionth time. But she does pull plenty of musical inspiration from times past, finding ways to blend 60s folk with contemporary pop and everything in between. Her plays are absurd and funny and often a little sad, as is all art created by Mirabai. She was born and raised in Seattle, Washington, although she also grew up in her mother's native Malaysia. A recent graduate of the central district's Nova High School, a Totem Star artist/employee, a 2 time winner of the Young Playwrights Project, and a finalist for MoPOP's SoundOff!, her love for and dedication to Seattle and it's artistic scene are unparalleled. Mirabai's art is an act of healing; a confusing celebration of her culture, identity, and life. With lots of love, effort, and community, she works to create her own unique sound to tell her own unique story.

James T. Washburn
I am a Seattle-based trans and disabled storyteller-activist. My first performed play, Tomorrow Comes , was written in response to the 2016 Presidential election and features the uniquely powerful dynamics of queer chosen families. Since then, I've discovered a talent for writing fresh but familiar stories, including Phoenix Rising , a Greek myth in verse about a forgotten child of Zeus who gives up his life for the right to exist as himself. Following this theme of adding to classic canons, my current work in progress, Briar Rose , is a queer fairytale musical that has been repeatedly described as something that "I swear I heard when I was a kid..."
Elise Winkler
Elise Winkler was born and raised in the Pacific Northwest. Born to a family of musicians, Elise grew up constantly surrounded by the sounds of flute and classical saxophone. Throughout her life, Elise has had a variety of musical experiences, including piano lessons, choral ensembles, and musical theatre. Because of her wide background, she has strong artistic influences from a number of sources.
Inspired by the passionate nature of Romantic-era classical music, Elise loves to explore human emotion and expression in her work. Self-identity and expression is very important to Elise, especially as a woman and as a member of the LGBT community. Many of Elise's compositions delve into her own emotions and her sense of self, allowing her art to be a channel of strength in vulnerability. Several of her most cherished composers (such as Chopin, Rachmaninoff, and Ravel) have lead Elise's works to be largely driven by melody. Elise's experience as a pianist and vocalist have also caused melody and harmony to be essential elements in her music.
Elise recently finished her senior year at Emerald Ridge High School and is currently studying music composition at the Juilliard School with Dr. Melinda Wagner. Her works have been performed by members of the Seattle Symphony and the Bremerton Symphony Orchestra, with an additional work to be performed by Symphony Tacoma in the near future.

NUS researchers develop smart gaming glove that puts control in your hands
•	The InfinityGloveTM contains ultra-sensitive microfibre sensors that can translate hand gestures into in-game commands, allowing users to play first-person shooters such as Battlefield V without the need for a traditional controller or a keyboard
20-Aug-2020 8:15 AM EDT, by National University of Singapore
A team of researchers from the National University of Singapore led has invented a smart gaming glove that allows users to mimic a variety of in-game controls using simple hand gestures. The glove can also be used for hand rehabilitation and robotic control.
The smart glove was developed by a team of NUS researchers led by Professor Lim Chwee Teck (left). With him are two members of the research team, Dr Yeo Joo Chuan (centre) and Dr Yu Longteng (right).
The glove is embedded with thread-line microsensors to produce accurate three-dimensional positions of a moving hand, allowing users to mimic a variety of in-game controls using simple gestures.
Newswise — Simply flex your index finger to fire your weapon and rotate your wrist clockwise to move forward. Immersive controls have always been a pipedream in the world of gaming but is steadily becoming reality. A team of researchers from the National University of Singapore (NUS), led by Professor Lim Chwee Teck, has developed a smart glove – called 'InfinityGloveTM' - that allows users to mimic a variety of in-game controls using simple hand gestures.
While the concept of controlling a game using your hands is not new, the main problems have always been weight and flexibility. The current generation of smart glove type controllers available on the market are usually bulky and rigid as they rely on conventional sensors which put the hard in hardware.
The InfinityGloveTM, overcomes existing problems with weight and flexibility by weaving ultra-thin, highly sensitive microfibre sensors into the material of the glove. These sensors are not only lightweight and accurate, but also fulfil the role of wires thus reducing the need for additional wiring. Currently, the prototype weighs about 40 grams, and is flexible and comfortable.
Precise and quick gesture-based remote control
Currently, each InfinityGloveTM contains a total of five thread-like sensors, one for each finger. This network of sensors can interface with the game software to produce accurate three-dimensional (3D) positions of a moving hand. Various gestures made by the user's hands are then mapped to specific inputs that are found on a regular controller. To date, the team has mapped a total of 11 inputs and commands which will allow users to play games such as Battlefield V.
The application of this microfibre sensor technology is the breakthrough innovation that enables the InfinityGloveTM to accurately map finger gestures for human-machine interaction. The sensor is made up of a thin and stretchable rubber-like microfibre, about the same thickness as a strand of human hair, that is filled with a conductive liquid metal. A small electric current runs through the conductive liquid metal, creating an electrical reading signal that changes when the fibres are bent and as the liquid metal is displaced. This microfibre sensor was developed by the team back in 2017 and was previously used to measure pulse and bandage pressure, but they have since adapted it for the smart glove by improving the strain sensing capabilities.
When linked up to the team's proprietary software, the sensors can rapidly translate the gestures via electrical signals into command inputs at a speed that is almost the same as pressing a button on the keyboard. The InfinityGloveTM can be wirelessly connected to a computer and is lightweight.
Redefine gaming, rehabilitation and robotic control
The team took two years to develop a working prototype of the InfinityGloveTM and is also producing the microfibre sensors commercially for other applications.
Professor Lim Chwee Teck, Director of the NUS Institute for Health Innovation & Technology, said, "We were very much inspired by the need to remotely control tasks with just hand gestures. Current commercially available technology is not very responsive and causes a strain on the user's hands after prolonged use due to their bulky setup. We envision that gesture-based control using our lightweight smart gloves can bring us one step closer to a truly immersive interface between humans and machines."
Other applications for the InfinityGloveTM include hand rehabilitation for patients as gamification motivates patients to continue their hand exercise regimes through immersive play, and medical professionals can track the progress of their patient's joint movements at the same time.
The NUS team's next steps include extending the glove's capabilities into the world of virtual reality, complex games and robotic control. This technology is being commercialised by a NUS start-up, Microtube Technologies, co-founded by Prof Lim and his team members, Dr Yeo Joo Chuan and Dr Yu Longteng.

Melbourne Convention Bureau (MCB) welcomes the announcement today of the partnership between Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre (MCEC) and C2 International.
Melbourne's business events sector is set to benefit from the partnership, which is a world first in the convention sector.
MCB is responsible for driving consideration of Melbourne as a first-choice business events destination, and the new partnership will assist in providing a compelling point of difference when selling Melbourne to global international association clients.
"Melbourne is renowned for our collaborative Team Melbourne approach, and this partnership provides a fitting example of the ripple effect of business events, and the partnerships and opportunities that can form through the business events platform.
"This partnership has set a new global benchmark in the sector. It will ensure Melbourne continues to maintain the lead and support MCB's ongoing business development and bidding efforts to win more conferences for Melbourne and fill the expanded MCEC," Ms Bolinger said.
MCB secured the C2 conference for Melbourne, with the first C2 Melbourne event taking place 17 – 19 October 2018 at MCEC.
"By facilitating the entry of C2 into Melbourne we have opened the door for businesses to establish partnerships and create legacies.
"The C2 and MCEC partnership is game changing and we are proud to see the potential we initially identified in C2 come to fruition in such a creative and pioneering way," Ms Bolinger said.
Ms Bolinger continued, "MCB's strategy to diversify Melbourne's business events portfolio is propelling innovation in Victoria, with business events identified as drivers of economic growth.
The partnership will see MCEC granted exclusive access to C2's experiential design platform and signature labs.
C2 has established its Asia-Pacific headquarters in Melbourne, strengthening the state's reputation as Australia's innovation capital, and highlighting the value of business events to growing the local economy.


Friendly societies are welfare organisations which have existed since the 1700s. They were the first organisations that resemble modern co-operatives and mutuals. Based on the principle of mutual reliance between equals, friendly societies ensured a person's welfare could be guaranteed by regular contributions to a common fund that would be drawn from in times of need.
The first arrival of free workers in Australia in the 1830s and 1840s provided the preconditions for the transplantation of friendly societies to Australia. One of those established, The Independent Order of Oddfellows, evolved into what is now Australian Unity, one of Australia's largest private health insurers.

Meet at Wooly Mammoth Parking lot, Section NN at 9:00am for car-pooling.
TH: Berthoud Pass, south of the Divide, last pullout parking on the right prior to reaching the summit (12 miles from Empire).
We should be able to find some good snow in the Pumphouse Basin area of Berthoud Pass for some easy AT or Tele ski turns. This is an excellent Backcountry introduction tour. There is currently avalanche concern on easterly-facing aspects on wind-loaded slopes near and above treeline (https://avalanche.state.co.us/forecasts/backcountry-avalanche/front-range/), so we will stick to relatively mellow terrain, which this area features.
This is an appropriate trip for those who are starting out in backcountry skiing or for more experienced skiers who want to enjoy a day in the backcountry snow on mellow slopes. Bonus: getting in a bit of exercise skinning up the ridge.
The forecast is calling for a frigid day on Berthoud Pass, with highs in the single digits and gusty winds (!), so bring hand/toe warmers, face protection, goggles and sunglasses. In addition to the usual 10 essentials appropriate for Colorado winter day travel, you must bring a beacon, probe, and shovel (properly stored on the inside of your day pack). Helmet recommended.
We will be targeting the Pumphouse Basin area due north of the parking pullout (Route 23 in Jordan Lipp's guidebook entitled Backcountry Skiing Berthoud Pass) .
Note: this area in the map below is referred to as "No Name Bench", Route 20, in Lipp's guidebook entitled Backcountry Skiing Berthoud Pass: Map: http://caltopo.com/m/PAF1 .
The CMC follows "Leave No Trace" principles.
