Abstract: An electric guitar has an electromagnetic resonating unit (3) which is arranged to resonate the strings (2) of the guitar, either individually or together. The resonance of each string is picked up by a pick-up unit (4), and the frequency of resonation of the string is detected and compared with a desired value. A tension adjusting unit (5) adjusts the tension in each string (2) until the frequency of resonance of the string correponds to the desired frequency, in order to tune the guitar to a desired tuning pattern. A control panel (6) on the body (1) of the guitar displays optional tuning patterns which may be selected by a user. Automatic tuning of the guitar may be achieved, without requiring the strings to be plucked manually.

Abstract: The assembly comprises an upper plate (12) to receive the ski boot and a lower plate (13) connected to the surface of the ski (1), connected by pivoted links or ribs (15, 16). The links are inclined in the same direction but are not parallel to one another, so that they form a deformable quadrilateral structure with at least two sides that are not parallel. The assembly incorporates a block (18) of a pre-compressed elastic material between the two plates and a stop (20) on the lower plate to which the upper plate is returned by the elastic block in the rest position, when the two plates are parallel. In the rest position one of the two links is inclined at about 60 degrees to the lower plate and the other at 30-50 degrees. A variant of the design can incorporate a balancing cam pivoted on the upper plate's underside.

Abstract: A system of the present invention uses small swing differential source synchronous voltage and timing reference (SSVTR and /SSVTR) signals to compare single-ended signals of the same slew rate generated at the same time from the same integrated circuit for high frequency signaling. The SSVTR and /SSVTR signals toggle every time the valid signals are driven by the transmitting integrated circuit. Each signal receiver includes two comparators, one for comparing the signal against SSVTR and the other for comparing the signal against /SSVTR. A present signal binary value determines which comparator is coupled to the receiver output, optionally by using XOR logic with SSVTR and /SSVTR. The coupled comparator in the receiver detects whether change in signal binary value occurred or not until SSVTR and /SSVTR have changed their binary value. The same comparator is coupled if the signal transitions. The comparator is decoupled if no transition occurs. When the flight time between a master device and a slave device is greater than the cycle time of the system clock, the system uses multiple clocks. One clock controls transmitting signals from the slave devices to the master device, and another clock controls initiating each slave device to communicate signals to the master device. A first clock may be looped back to the slave devices to communicate signals such as requests from the master device to the slave device.
