    Abstract: A method for remixing a music piece includes providing a music composition graphical user interface on a portable communications device. The music composition graphical user interface displays a plurality of actionable menu items. A first collection of actionable menu items is provided to the graphical user interface from an internal source. A music remixing algorithm incorporates music rules and can remix the music piece in a manner where only one musical component is remixed at a given time. A music remix database is accessible via the graphical user interface. A plurality of music remix data is organized based in part on a music style parameter. A second collection of actionable menu items is provided from the music remix database to the graphical user interface via a communications network. The first and second collection of actionable menu items displayed in a seamless manner.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for creating, modifying, interacting with and playing music are provided, preferably employing a top-down process, where the user is provided with a musical composition that may be modified and interacted with and played and/or stored (for later play). The system preferably is provided in a handheld form factor, and a graphical display is provided to display status information, graphical representations of musical lanes or components which preferably vary in shape as musical parameters and the like are changed for particular instruments or musical components such as a microphone input or audio samples. An interactive auto-composition process preferably employs musical rules and a pseudo random number generator, which may also incorporate randomness introduced by timing of user input or the like. The user may quickly begin creating desirable music in accordance with one or a variety of musical styles, with the user modifying the auto-composed (or previously created) musical composition, either for a real time performance and/or for storing and subsequent playback. An analysis process flow also is disclosed for using pre-existing music as input(s) to an algorithm to derive music rules that may be used as part of a music style in a subsequent auto-composition process. In addition, the present invention makes use of node-based music generation as part of a system and method to broadcast and receive music data files, which are then used to generate and play music. By incorporating the music generation process into a node/subscriber unit, bandwidth requirements are lowered, and consequently the bandwidth can preferably be used for additional features such as node-to-node and node-to-base music data transmission. The present invention is characterized by the broadcast of relatively small data files that contain various parameters sufficient to describe the music to the node/subscriber music generator. In addition, improved audio synthesis in a portable environment is provided with the present invention by performing audio synthesis in a manner that simplifies design requirements and/or minimizes cost, while still providing quality audio synthesis features targeted for a portable system (e.g., portable telephone). In addition, problems associated with the tradeoff between overall sound quality and memory requirements in a MIDI sound bank are addressed in the present invention by providing systems and methods for a reduced memory size footprint MIDI sound bank. In addition, music ringtone alert tone remixing, navigation, and purchasing capabilities are disclosed that are particularly advantageous in the context of a portable communications device, such as a cellular telephone, in connection with a communications network.

    Abstract: A method for determining diagnoses for a system having a plurality of pieces of equipment, the equipment being adapted to transmit signals indicating its operating state, includes the following steps: acquiring observations based on signals transmitted by the equipment of the system under diagnosis, and determining a global situation based on the acquired observations and predetermined failure trees associated with these observations, wherein a failure tree describes the relations between an observation and root causes, and a root cause indicates a failure in a piece of equipment; determining connected situations, a connected situation being a set of observations which, when considered in pairs, have at least one common root cause in their failure tree; determining partial diagnoses on the basis of each of the connected situations, the diagnoses including root causes associated with observations signalling a failure; and, displaying the diagnoses.

    Abstract: The invention concerns a system for detecting a rupture inside a portion (6; 12; 13; 15) at least of one structure, delimited by a first (7; 16) and a second (7; 17) reference points of the structure, said portion having a predetermined stiffness in the absence of rupture and being subjected to a tensile or compressive stress (F). The method includes the following steps: detecting at least one length variation inside the portion of the structure, in response to a variation (?F) of the tensile or compressive stress applied to said portion; deducing from the detected variation length, the existence or not of a rupture inside said portion of the structure.
