Abstract:
The Guitar Teacher is completely new in that it is the first invention to ever use a (LCD) Liquid Crystal Display panel and a computer in conjunction with a guitar, neck and fret board to display the notes and fingerings for guitar chords, scales and/or songs, right on the fret-board of the guitar itself.
Abstract:
A visual display mounted on a musical instrument for use as a teaching aid, for teaching fingerings and chords, a performing aid for displaying information relevant to a user's performance, and a visual effects aid, for displaying visual effects to an audience while a user is performing.
Abstract:
Fibrous monolith composites having architectures that provide increased flaw insensitivity, improved hardness, wear resistance and damage tolerance and methods of manufacture thereof are provided for use in dynamic environments to mitigate impact damage and increase wear resistance.
Abstract:
Methods for preparing fibrous monolith composite materials include continuously extruding cell and boundary material compositions. A filament is formed from a cell material composition and passed through a chamber of an extrusion assembly. A boundary material composition is extruded generally about the cell material composition filament and the two material compositions are co-extruded to form an extruded coated filament.
