    摘要: Methods, systems and apparatus to characterize audio using transchromagrams are disclosed. An example method includes generating, by executing one or more instructions on a processor, a set of transition matrices based on a plurality of time frames of the audio data, each of the plurality of transition matrices generated based on a different pair of time frames in the plurality of time frames, and indicating probabilities that anterior musical notes in an anterior time frame of the pair transition to posterior musical notes in a posterior time frame of the pair, generating, by executing one or more instructions on a processor, a data structure representing how the audio data changes statistically between the plurality of time frames based on the set of transition matrices, and causing, by executing one or more instructions on a processor, a database to store the data structure within metadata that describes the audio data.

    摘要: Music data memory includes pieces of music within a group and other pieces of music outside the group. The next piece to be played is automatically determined by random table among pieces within the group. Favorite or newest piece is weighted to be more frequently played in the group. Piece in music data memory is automatically included into the group by random table. Newly downloaded piece into music data memory is included into the group by priority. Most frequently played piece is excluded from the group in place of newly included piece. Favorite or newest piece may be an exception of exclusion. Next piece is capable of being played in tempo similar to that of preceding piece by means of tempo-adjusted or piece replacement or repetition of the same piece for the purpose of continued baby cradling in synchronism with the same tempo of succeeding pieces.

    摘要: A toy construction set that contains a plurality of interlocking pieces. Each of the interlocking pieces contains at least one linkage construct. Each linkage construct includes a pivot hub that has a first surface and an opposite second surface. Detents are formed into both surfaces of the pivot hub. Two yoke arms are coupled to each pivot hub. Protrusions extend from the interior surfaces that are sized to be received by one of the detents. Gap spaces separate the yoke arms. Each of the gap spaces is sized to receive and retain the pivot hub of another piece, wherein the pivot hubs on all the pieces are uniform in shape and size.

    摘要: A system, apparatuses, and methods for an animal call are shown and described. A hunting call of the present disclosure may include a base, a radiating arm having an attachment point to the base, a bottom click and a top click. The radiating arm may be resilient at one end to suspend the top click above the bottom click. The top and bottom click may be aligned to allow an interface of the top and the bottom click.
