Abstract:
Air actuated devices and processes for detecting breath events are provided. The air actuated devices can include an air actuated surface having a temperature-responsive material disposed thereon. The temperature-responsive material can include multiple temperature-responsive beads or can include a temperature-responsive array having multiple temperature-responsive rows and multiple temperature-responsive columns. Monitoring circuitry can be included to monitor a parameter of the temperature-responsive material to detect a change in temperature of the air actuated surface. A processor can also be included to detect a breath event on the air actuated surface based on the monitored parameter of the temperature-responsive material. The processor can generate a command signal in response to a detected breath event. The air actuated device can also include a touch sensor to detect touch events on the air actuated surface.
Abstract:
An electromagnetic pickup for electric guitars has a plural of wire coils around each pole set and two lead wires connected to each wire coil. Individual wire coils around a pole set have different oxygen contents and/or gages and/or turns and/or coating materials such that one wire coil produces a tone color distinctive from another wire coil.
Abstract:
An electromagnetic pickup for electric guitars has one or two dual-coil assemblies wherein an inner coil is wound around a bobbin and then an outer coil around the inner coil. In the dual-coil assembly the inner coil replaces the entire or part of wall space of pole piece holes in a plastic molded bobbin. The outer and inner coils in the dual-coil assembly are electrically connected in-phase to produce single coil pickup sound. The outer coil is connected to the coil in the other pole piece/bobbin/coil assembly out-of-phase to generate humbucking pickup sound.

Abstract:
An input port for an electronic device for receiving different types of connectors, memory cards, or plugs. The input port includes an outer wall defining a receiving aperture, a substrate positioned within the receiving aperture. A first set of contacts is positioned on the substrate at a first depth into the receiving aperture and a second set of contacts is positioned on a first surface of the outer wall at a second depth into the receiving aperture. The first set of contacts is configured to communicate with a first connector and the second set of contacts is configured to communicate with a second connector.

Abstract:
A display apparatus having a thin thickness and improved esthetic sense is disclosed. The display apparatus comprises a display panel including an upper substrate having a signal line to which gate and data signals are supplied, and at least one lower substrate bonded to the upper substrate; and a panel support member supporting the display panel to externally expose an entire upper surface of the display panel, wherein the display panel includes a display portion having a main display region, a sub display region having an area smaller than that of the main display region, and a boundary region dividing the main display region and the sub display region from each other; and a periphery portion surrounding the display portion.
