Title: Instrumento de música eletroacústico
Inventor: CHARBONNEAUX MARC
IPC: H04R1/02
Filed: 1999-08-13
Abstract: <B>"INSTRUMENTO DE MúSICA ELETROACúSTICO"<D> O presente processo de reprodução de som emprega pelo menos um corpo (1) excitado por pelo menos um transformador acústico, uma aparelhagem de som ou gerador de vibração. O corpo (1) se torna um emissor sonoro por inteiro. Um corpo (1) é colocado em tensão por pelo menos um tensor (2) constituído por uma corda fixada em pelo menos dois pontos de fixação (3 e 4). O excitador (6), um transformador eletroacústico, é montado de modo unido ao corpo (1), na altura do ponto de fixação (3). O transformador eletroacústico emite por um lado as notas sonoras pela sua alimentação (7) de um sinal elétrico de áudio e simultaneamente, se torna um excitador sonoro mecânico. O corpo (1) reage a esta vibração mecânica e se torna então um emissor sonoro excitado pela vibração mecânica do transformador eletroacústico.

Title: Adaptive mapping of nerve patterns to muscular activity
Inventor: HUTTON HAROLD THOMAS
IPC: A61N1/36
Filed: 2000-01-18
Abstract: A telemetry system for the monitoring of nerve patterns and dynamically inducing physiological responses based on the intelligent adaptive mapping of nerve pattern relationships for the required muscular activity. Each node has nerve points which can both monitor nerve activity and induce programmed stimuli into the nerve point or muscle. Nodes are connected together using a 4-wire network. The 'Node and Routing controller' controls data to and from the nodes. A variety of sensors can be interfaced to the nodes to provide additional monitoring. An external PC (via the external link) is used to determine the overall system map, roughing logic and loading the nodes with the controller maps, dynamic nerve patterns and stimulator patterns.

Title: Method of synchronising a digital component with a synchronous memory device at power up
Inventor: EADE PHILIP
IPC: G06F9/445
Filed: 2001-12-14
Abstract: A method of synchronising a digital component with a synchronous memory device at power up comprises the steps of powering up the digital component and preventing it from reading an initial instruction set until the clock signal of the device is synchronised with that of the component.
