A stringed musical instrument with a base portion and neck portion with an inlaid fretboard snugly secured within a recess between an upper wall and a lower wall on the neck portion is disclosed. The geometry of the upper and lower walls maybe optimized and includes walls that are substantially perpendicular to the face of the instrument, walls that are angled with respect to each other to define a wedge-shaped slot for slidably receiving and securing the mating fretboard therein, and walls that are angled to define inwardly extending protrusions that allow the fretboard to be “snapped” in place on the neck portion of the instrument. The fretboard may be rigidly secured to the neck portion with glue or the like or it may be detachably secured within the slot thereby allowing fretboards to be changed as desired for aesthetic or performance purposes.

The disclosed subject matter relates to computer implemented methods for providing to a web-based application access at a hardware level to a peripheral device. In one aspect, a method includes establishing a first link between a computing device and a web-based application. The computing device is configured to access the web-based application. The method further includes establishing a second link between the computing device and a peripheral device. The method further includes bridging the first link and the second link to establish a communication channel between the web-based application and the peripheral device. The communication channel is configured to provide to the web-based application access at a hardware level to the peripheral device.

A method of constructing a data hall utilizing a plurality of data hall modules, each data hall in the form of a container comprising a top, a bottom, a first pair of opposed sides and second pair of opposed sides, and at least one side of the first pair of opposed sides is open and has a removable panel. For the purpose of transportation, the panel is removably fixed to the open side, and during construction so the plurality of data hall modules are bayed in side-by-side relationship so that their open sides are adjacent to each other and/or in end-to-end relationship so that their open ends are adjacent to each other.

Methods and systems are provided for raising the speed of a hybrid electric vehicle operating in an electric-only mode. During conditions when the vehicle is driven only by an electric motor, vehicle speed may be raised by spinning the engine unfueled using power from a system battery, while adjusting valve operation to reduce engine pumping losses. In this way, vehicle speed may be raised more efficiently and without damaging rotating transmission components.

Concepts and technologies described herein provide for an accurate and cost-effective method for rotating a solar array disk for tracking the movement of the sun. According to various aspects, a motor includes a fixed caliper and a translating caliper positioned adjacent to one another. Electromagnetically controlled brakes on the translating caliper grip the solar array disk while adjacent, but spaced apart, electromagnets on the fixed caliper and the translating caliper are energized to create an attractive force that pulls the translating caliper with the solar array disk toward the fixed caliper. After reaching the fixed caliper, brakes on the fixed caliper are engaged with the disk, brakes on the translating caliper are released from the disk, and the translating caliper is pushed back to the starting location where the process repeats until the desired rotation is completed.

The method, system and apparatus embodiments of the present invention provide for rendering original images having high dynamic range into display images having lower dynamic range while retaining a visual quality of rendered images comparable to the original or reference images. Tone-mapping parameters are applied to the display images and are iteratively adjusted in order to reduce the differences between the conditioned original image and the conditioned display image.

The present invention generally relates to systems and methods for receiving blood (or other bodily fluids) from a subject, e.g., from or beneath the skin of a subject. In some cases, the blood (or other bodily fluids) may be deposited on a membrane or other substrate. For example, blood may be absorbed in a substrate, and dried in some cases to produce a dried blood spot. In one aspect, the present invention is generally directed to devices and methods for receiving blood from a subject, e.g., from the skin, using devices including a substance transfer component (which may contain, for example, one or more microneedles), and directing the blood on a substrate, e.g., for absorbing blood. The substrate, in some embodiments, may comprise filter paper or cotton-based paper. After absorption of some blood onto the substrate, the substrate may be removed from the device and shipped or analyzed.

An apparatus for improving the performance of a radial compressor 36 forming part of an inlet system of an engine 10 is disclosed in which the configuration and positioning of a flow management device 137 used to generate pre-whirl is optimized so as to produce a pressure drop below a maximum acceptable level. An inlet duct ‘I’ connected to the radial compressor 36 has a tapered end portion so that a flow management device 137 of a larger diameter d2 can be accommodated than the diameter d1 of an inlet port ‘IP’ to the radial compressor 36.
