Abstract:
A method for generating a music file includes receiving a melody from a user through a user interface, and generating a melody file corresponding to the received melody. The method further includes generating a harmony accompaniment file responsive to melody represented by the melody file, and generating a music file by synthesizing the melody file and the harmony accompaniment file.
Abstract:
A side rearview mirror control system for a vehicle that automatically changes a rear viewing angle of a side rearview mirror. The control system receives various vehicle inputs to determine if and when a vehicle operator will turn the vehicle, make a lane change, merge into a lane of traffic, etc. The system pivots the mirror to eliminate a potential blind spot during these conditions. In one embodiment, the rear view mirror control system receives input signals from a vehicle hand-wheel angle sensor, a vehicle yaw rate sensor, a vehicle speed sensor, a turn signal indicator, a global positioning system (GPS) receiver and map information to determine whether the vehicle is turning or will be turning.
Abstract:
An apparatus for monitoring asthmatic conditions takes the form of a data logger for attaching to a spacer. The spacer has a chamber with an input end and an output end and defining an interior space wherein the input end receives a medication discharge from a discharge orifice of a canister of medication into the interior space and wherein the medication can be withdrawn from the interior space by inhalation by a patient from the output end. The data logger is mounted to the spacer and may include such sensors as pressure transducers and accelerometers. The sensors may be arranged to measure various aspects of the environment of the spacer, such as a pressure change induced by the inhalation of the medicine from the chamber. A memory may also be included for recording the measurements for later transfer to another device for processing and analysis.
Abstract:
There is provided a method of synthesizing a musical instrument digital interface (MIDI) having wave table support. The wave table sample information is modified based on the newly searched loop segment, the interval of the newly searched loop segment, and the fine tune data. Therefore, the size of the wave table can be reduced.
Abstract:
A mathematically driven system which can be used to diagnose a student's strengths and weaknesses and provide studying strategies based on these strengths and weaknesses. The invention bases studying suggestions not on raw test scores or on simple metrics such as “percent correct”, but on the student's potential to increase their test score by studying a particular topic. The inventive method includes the steps of administering an exam with composite questions relating to a subject and an associated study strategy therefor; analyzing results of said exam to diagnose strengths and weaknesses of a student with respect to said subjects and strategies; and outputting data with respect to optimal strategies for the student with respect to said subjects.
Abstract:
A complex type cleaner comprises: a body having either a dust collecting container for storing dust and foreign materials or a water collecting container for storing contaminated water; a fan motor installed at the body and generating a suction force to suck dust or water; a suction head arranged at a lower side of the body, for sucking dust at the time of performing a vacuum-cleaning; and a suction nozzle installed at the suction head, for sucking contaminated water at the time of performing a water cleaning, wherein the water collecting container is composed of: a container mounted at the body and having a space for storing water; a cover mounted at an upper surface of the container and having an outlet for exhausting air inside the container; a division plate for dividing inside of the container into a first chamber and a second chamber, for introducing water stored in the second chamber to the first chamber when the water inside the second chamber is more than a certain level; and a water exhaustion preventing unit arranged at the first chamber, for preventing water stored in the container from being exhausted through the outlet. According to this, a mis-operation of the floater due to sloshing of the water stored in the container during a cleaning operation can be prevented.
Abstract:

Abstract:
A backlight unit is disclosed, to remove an unnecessary portion from a PCB and to decrease the number of connectors and wires, which includes a plurality of light-emitting lamps arranged in one direction inside a lamp housing; first and second driving unit PCBs positioned at both sides on the rear surface of the lamp housing, to apply a power to the light-emitting lamps; first and second connection PCBs positioned at both sides of the lamp housing, wherein the respective first and second connection PCBs are separately provided from the first and second driving unit PCBs; and first and second power supplying wires for the respective connection between the first and second driving unit PCBs with the first and second connection unit PCBs.
Abstract:
A audio tag retrieval system and method (50) includes a communication device (70) capable of retrieving an audio tag having a transceiver (38,44), a display (30) coupled to the transceiver and having a graphical user interface (28), and a processor (12) coupled to the transceiver and display. The processor can be programmed to retrieve (64) an audio tag representative of an element within the communication device responsive to a selection of the element on the graphical user interface of the communication device and to download (66) the audio tag from a remote server if the audio tag representative of the element is not found within the communication device.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a use of an ethyl acetate extract of Opuntia ficus-indica and compounds isolated therefrom for preventing and treating brain diseases such as Alzheimer's disease, stroke and Parkinson's disease, cell and tissue damage caused by ischemia, or cardiovascular system disease such as myocardial infarction.
