Abstract: The invention relates to an electromechanical percussion instrument with at least one striker (32), and a struck section (19) for the striker (32) to hit. The sounds are generated by the coming together of the striker (32) and the struck section (19) by using a mechanically activated oscillator and converted into electrical sound signals by means of a converter coupled to pick-ups (21) and electronically prepared and processed for reproduction as sound tones, whereby the mechanically activated oscillator is formed by the striker (32) itself. The striker (32) comprises a rigid, in any case, strongly damped and thus essentially non-vibrating or sounding fixing or support piece (33) with an oscillating body (34), which may oscillate elastically mounted on the fixing or support piece (33).

Abstract: A tire buffer (100) for buffing a tire casing as part of a retread operation includes a rasp pedestal (112) having a rasp head (160) and a texturing device (168). A moving assembly (114) can be connected to the rasp pedestal for selectively moving the rasp pedestal along a pair of perpendicular axes. The rasp pedestal can rotate about a vertical axis. A tire hub assembly (116) can be included for rotating the tire casing. The tire buffer is operated at an operator station by interfacing with a control unit (140). The tire buffer can automatically buff a tire casing to achieve a predetermined tire casing profile and impart a texture thereto. The tire buffer includes a tire location mechanism (570) and a tire measurement mechanism (520) mounted to the rasp pedestal. The control unit (140) can monitor an operating parameter of the rasp pedestal or the tire hub assembly during the buffing sequence, compare the actual value of the operating parameter to a predetermined target value of the parameter, and adjust an operating characteristic of the rasp pedestal, the tire hub assembly, or both such that the actual value of the operating parameter is urged toward the calculated target value of the operating parameter.
