I waldi più piccoli che aveva usato sino ad allora avevano un'estensione palmare di un centimetro circa, ed erano forniti di microonde adatte alle loro dimensioni. Erano troppo grandi per i suoi scopi. Voleva manipolare tessuti nervosi viventi, esaminare l'isolamento e il comportamento in situ.
Usò quei waldi per crearne altri più piccoli.
L'ultimo stadio furono minuscoli boccioli metallici non più larghi di trenta millimetri. Le nervature dei gambi, o avambracci, che fungevano da pseudomuscoli erano quasi invisibili a occhio nudo; d'altronde, Waldo usava sonde ottiche.

La miniaturizzazione di motori costruiti in sequenza tramite motori sempre più raffinati permette l'immersione in un nuovo ambiente di campi diversi.
Analogamente un sistema con un processore di dati di una memoria può operare verso un micro livello al fine di migliorare in performance e perfezionando una definizione ambientale.
.... After receiving the video, audio and graphics signals, the signals are digitized and compressed in digital compressors.
These signals are then combined with special data codes into a “digital package,” and subsequently, transmitted over a cable distribution system.
Once received at a viewer home, the signals are received and processed in an interactive digital cable box.
The audio signals are then preferably sampled, encoded and compressed in the digital audio encoder/compressor 130.
The interactive broadcast program is prepared at the control studio 5 into digital packages. The control studio 5 allows a producer to create and introduce interactive elements during a live broadcast.
A visual query system, and associated method and computer program product enhance and accelerate content-based querying, and present a new image similarity measure using known or available software applications and hardware components of video compression systems.
The present system encodes images as consecutive frames in a video sequence and uses the ratio between the file length of the compressed sequence and the original file length as a distance measure.
The system considers the compression ratio to be an estimate of the entropy of the combined images, which can be used to estimate the amount of new information introduced from one image to the other.
A new technique for extracting a hierarchical decomposition of a complex video selection for browsing purposes, combines visual and temporal information to capture the important relations within a scene and between scenes in a video, thus allowing the analysis of the underlying story structure with no a priori knowledge of the content.
A general model of hierarchical scene transition graph is applied to an implementation for browsing. Video shots are first identified and a collection of key frames is used to represent each video segment. These collections are then classified according to gross visual information. A platform is built on which the video is presented as directed graphs to the user, with each category of video shots represented by a node and each edge denoting a temporal relationship between categories.
The analysis and processing of video is carried out directly on the compressed videos.
Preliminary tests show that the narrative structure of a video selection can be effectively captured using this technique.
