		representing the handwritten input as a concatenation of the completed marks as written in the sequence of regions, the completed marks being concatenated in a writing direction, the completed marks having positions with respect to each other defined by a logical concatenation of their respective regions in the sequence in which regions were marked.
		Handwritten input in the nature of text is generally written in lines of script or characters, either horizontally or vertically, and either left-to-right or right-to-left.
		Handwritten marks are stored as mark data in a memory operatively coupled to the tablet, and the stored mark data is combined to form the representation of the handwritten input.

	Award Winning Writer Creates Plays For Podcasting: "Handwritten Theatre" Makes Every iPod a Personal Theatre
		Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) October 30, 2006 -- Joseph Dougherty has written for the movies, Broadway and television, and his first book, "Comfort and Joi," is becoming an underground hit, but when he discovered the world of podcasting, the chance to create new drama for an audience of one listener at a time was irresistible.
		"I created 'Handwritten Theatre' because the idea of having access to the listener with no interference from a network or a studio, where I could experiment with language and situations, was something I had to explore," Dougherty explains.
		Handwritten Theatre is available for download at http://handwrittentheatre.blogspot.com.

	Handwritten Items (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-11)
		Handwritten Beatles material consists of anything that was scripted or printed by one or more members of the band with content above and beyond a simple signature with or without a short salutation.
		Although the vast majority of the letters, notes and postcards were not originally intended to become collector's items because of their personal nature, sometimes the recipients of such material realized that there was a monetary value inherent and often the decision was made to place them on the market either through auction or private sale.
		All in all, Beatles handwritten material can be important and exciting to own as it is always a bit more personal than a signature, which, of course is far more abundant.

	6.805/STS085: A Comparison of Digital and Handwritten Signatures
		Whereas the judgement of whether a handwritten signature is valid or not depends on the skill of the examiner (be it the clerk comparing the credit card against the sales slip, or the forensic document expert), the judgement of whether a digital signature is valid depends on a great many processes and procedures working correctly.
		Handwritten signatures, of course, have none of the problems associated with aging, because they are intrinsically bound to an individual for life - and thereafter.
		While handwritten signatures are subject to forgery in a way that digital signatures, by virtue of their cryptographic properties, are not, digital signatures are subject to compromise (loss or disclosure) of the signer’s private key, just as Sumerian and Roman seals were subject to loss or theft.

	In the age of e-mail and IMs, handwritten note gains currency - Boston.com
		People are charmed by handwritten letters, she says, precisely because they are rarer.
		Such high-end stationery reflects the fact that in some circles, the handwritten note has achieved a sense of cachet, a certain je-ne-sais-quoi that it never had before e-mail.
		The handwritten note is elitist and therefore a must for the fashion-conscious set.

	[No title]
		An important aspect of a handwritten signature is that the act of signing with a writing or marking instrument such as a pen, or stylus is preserved.
		Such is not typically the case, however, with electronic signatures and handwritten signatures executed to electronic records (the image of the signature may be electronically "copied" from one location and "pasted" to another without evidence of the action.) In such cases, falsification of electronic documents would be relatively easy to achieve, yet difficult to detect.
		Electronic signatures and handwritten signatures executed to electronic records shall be verifiably bound to their respective electronic records to ensure that the signatures cannot be excised, copied or otherwise transferred so as to falsify another electronic record.

		Letter writing in itself has declined as a skill (as has writing, but that's another column), and preprinted cards and e-mail have waged the equivalent of nuclear war against letter writing, but for those hardy souls who do write letters, typed letters are the norm.
		President Reagan's handwritten letter to then-prime minister Michael Gorbachev in 1985 is especially revealing and should put to rest once and for all the myth that Reagan was an actor-puppet who let others do his thinking.
		He chose the handwritten letter as the method of announcement, infinitely more effective than a statement or typed letter, and wrote, "We feel it is important to share it with you." Not only was he correct in his generosity, he understood that writing in his own hand was the perfect vehicle for the personal message.

	The Natural Log: Recognizing Handwritten Mathematics (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-11)
		The last few years has seen the advent of a number of commercially successful products which are able to recognize a user's natural handwriting and use this ability to perform simple tasks such as scheduling appointments and writing memos.
		Most scientists and engineers, however, are unable to take advantage of these computers for their technical work due to the lack of effective algorithms for interpreting more complex handwritten expressions, particularly diagrams, graphs, equations, and other mathematical forms.
		Mathematical expressions are a natural place to begin such research as they are critical to virtually all technical writing and there already exists a wide body of literature on recognizing handwritten letters and words, major subcomponents of these expressions.
