IPC: H04M1/72427
Filed: 2003-07-17
Abstract: A method and associated apparatus for indicating the voice of each talker from a plurality of talkers to be heard by a listener. A talker indicator (Fig. 2, 32) is provided proximate to the listener. Talker identification information is generated in the talker indicator that can be used to indicate the identity of each talker who is speaking at any given time to the listener. A device (Fig. 1, 23) is coupled to the talker indicator that can transmit the voice signal from each talker to the listener. In different aspects, the talker identification information can include such varied indicators as audio, video, or an announcement combined with a temporally compressed voice signal. In another aspect, an emotographic figure is displayed to the listener that each represent a distinct talker (Fig. 12). The mood of each emotographic is somehow configured to reflect the mode of the talker, as indicated by the talker's voice (Fig. 14).

Abstract: A mouthpiece extractor for use with a mouthpiece that has become stuck in the lead pipe of a musical instrument. The mouthpiece extractor has a shaft with a shaft shoulder at one end and a plug at the other end. A moveable weight slides over the shaft, but is prevented from sliding past the shoulder or plug. A housing is coupled with the plug and is operative to hold the mouthpiece. When a mouthpiece is stuck in a lead pipe, the mouthpiece is placed in the housing, and the moveable weight is slid from the plug to the shaft shoulder. When the moveable weight contacts the shaft shoulder, a shock is generated which knocks the mouthpiece from the lead pipe.
