Instead of moving a physical surface, fluidic controls divert the airflow over a wing by blowing compressed air out of narrow slots.
Finally, Watson's new "Concepts Insight" service lets apps connect to deeper ideas, moving beyond the mere surface-level interpretations of text.

"The dispersant is moving the oil down out of the surface and into the deeper waters, where it can affect phytoplankton and other marine life, " said John Paul, a marine microbiologist at the University of South Florida.
The band can slowly shrink, moving as though it is slipping from the surface, until it becomes just a dot on the apple's skin.
An optical mouse uses a beam of light and an optical sensor to detect movement over a surface -- there are no moving parts.
Many of the dead trees are still standing, and can serve as ladder fuels that transform relatively cool surface fires into hot, fast-moving crown fires that leap from treetop to treetop.
FORBES: Forests and Climate Change: a Combustible Combination
Jordan is moving towards increased reliance on groundwater as an alternative to surface water and according to the 4th United Nations World Water Development Report 2012 co-authored by UNESCO, it is the fourth most water scarce country in the world.
It is a collaborative partnership of more than 30 nations from all continents, all working together to provide a seamless global array of over 3, 000 profiling floats moving up and down in the water column from the sea surface to 2, 000 meters and measuring temperature, salinity, and depth during every ascent to the sea surface.
Sequential optical images of high spatial resolution were used for the first time to derive surface ice velocities of Glaciar Upsala, a fast-moving fresh-water calving glacier in southern Patagonia.
Equal in excellence to the 264-seat main theater but presenting a striking design contrast, this secondary screening room has a hot pink entrance and features exposed loudspeakers and a grey, perforated acoustical wall and ceiling surface, making it more of an exposed machine for the moving image.

This process made cells spread out on the surface of culture plates, in a similar way to cancer cells moving out from a tumour.
For GPS, this is an enormous issue because it turns out that the clocks on the satellites drift by almost 40, 000 nanoseconds per day relative to the clocks on the ground because they are high above the earth's surface (and therefore in a weaker gravitational field) and are moving fast relative to the ground.
