摘要:
A system for securing a user device to a body includes a magnet and an attraction plate. One of the magnet or the attraction plate is mechanically coupled to the body, and the other of the magnet or the attraction plate is mechanically coupled to the user device. The magnet is selectively activated to hold the attraction plate and, thereby, secure the user device to the body.

A distributed self-scaling network audio processing system includes end nodes interconnected by packet-switched network and operating as peers on the network. Each of the end nodes supports local input processing, mixing, and output processing. The input processing includes the option of dual input channels for supporting separate front-of-house and monitor workflows. End nodes are added to the system to support specific audio processing applications, based on the number of audio sources, the number of output mixes required, and the number of locations from which users choose to interact with the system.

A production mix controller for processing and mixing audio signals has a control console separate from an audio mainframe. All audio signals to be mixed are confined to the audio mainframe, and the control console has channels of input devices providing low-voltage input control signals, which are converted to digital signals and stored by a microprocessor-based control system. The control system includes menu selectable functions for setting control modes and routing signals. Digitally controlled analog audio control devices at the audio mainframe are controlled by digital signals retrieved from memory and communicated to the audio mainframe, making the system software controllable. The invention includes functions for block copying arrays of input settings, and facility for storing and retrieving digital snapshots of entire configurations. Input controls are arrayed in channels, and channels are arranged in removable pod modules for modularity.

A system for securing a user device in a vehicle includes a magnet and an attraction plate. One of the magnet or the attraction plate is mechanically coupled to the vehicle, and the other of the magnet or the attraction plate is mechanically coupled to the user device. The magnet is selectively activated to hold the attraction plate and, thereby, secure the user device to the vehicle.

An audio signal source balancing adapter provides connection between an unbalanced audio source and a balanced input amplifier of an audio processing instrument, such as an audio mixer panel, with a variable resistor in the cold line, so the input impedance may be matched by adjusting the variable resistor until "hum" disappears at the audio processing instrument. In one embodiment the balancing adapter has a mono plug at one end of a shielded cable and a stereo plug at the other, with a variable resistor, such as a rotary potentiometer, mounted in a housing at the mono plug. In another embodiment, a single housing has a mono plug in one wall of the housing and an XLR connector in another, with a rotary potentiometer within the housing, and wired to provide a balancing impedance in the cold line between the connectors. In yet another embodiment, an adapter box is provided wherein several inputs may be plugged into receptacles at the box using standard mono plug cables, and each of the inputs may be output via associated XLR connectors and XLR cables going to balanced inputs of an audio instrument.

An action toy employs a vacuum chamber and vacuum pressure to propel projectiles inward to collide with materials or objects or structures inside the sealed vacuum chamber. Users are entertained by observing high-speed demolition and wrecking action. Air-tight containment of the chamber is required to create a vacuum, ensuring user safety and mess-free operation while providing close-up viewing and video capture from outside the chamber. Users can experiment with a wide variety of high-speed collisions, watch the results in slow-motion replay, and share replay clips with others using a smartphone. The toy can be used to create art works by blasting materials onto a canvas.

A digital audio gain control system has an operator interface with a CPU, RAM storage, and input devices for a user to store transfer characteristics relating gain to be applied to an incoming audio signal to the signal strength of that incoming signal. A communication link allows the transfer characteristic function to be sent to a RAM in a separate patchable amplifier unit having a DSP and RAM, and level detection circuitry for monitoring the signal strength of an incoming audio signal and applying gain according to the transfer characteristic communicated to the on-board RAM. The amplifier unit also sends operating information back to the operator interface, where operation may be displayed to aid an operator in adjusting the function.
