Abstract:
A guitar having a headstock, a neck body extending about a longitudinal axis from a first end in contact with the headstock to a second end, an electronic body coupled to one side of the neck body, and an adjustable belly body coupled to an opposite side of the neck body. The belly body can be slidable about the longitudinal axis of the neck body. The belly body can be moved to an outwardly extended position to create a spaced distance between the belly body and the neck body. The belly body can be removably coupled to the first side of the neck body. The belly body can have a removable lid for accessing an interior of the belly body. The belly body is configured so a user can play the guitar while its top face having the guitar strings is facing upward and while the user is walking.
Abstract:
A locomotor training system, including device and methods of use, is provided. The locomotor training device is a simple mechanical device which includes a rigid supporting member coupled to the front-thigh side of a user's proximal lower extremity and a hinged member coupled to the lower extremity distal to the rigid supporting member. Manipulation of the device by an operator, in some cases facilitated by an adjustable handle, facilitates the user's normalization of joint mechanics associated with unimpaired ambulation while providing neuromuscular re-education and muscle strengthening.

Abstract:
Filters for removing particulate and gaseous organic and inorganic materials from a fluid stream are disclosed. The filters may contain a polymer matrix and optional sequestering agents. Methods of making filters are also disclosed. Methods of using filters to remove one or more materials from a fluid stream, such as an air stream, are also disclosed.
Abstract:
A band pass digital filter which may be straightforwardly implemented. Considering successive samples I the last of which is N and input samples XI and output samples YI, the filter, in one embodiment, conforms to the expression:Y.sub.N =2.sup.-K+J.(X.sub.N -X.sub.N-2)-C.sub.4.Y.sub.N-1 -Y.sub.N-2 +2.sup.-K.Y.sub.N-2where J and F are integers.
Abstract:
The present invention is a content management system (“CMS”) for a 3D virtual world. In one or more embodiments, the CMS provides user interfaces that allow an instructor to create a course, add pre-programmed 3D scenes to the course, upload slideshow presentations, images, and/or videos (“content”) to the CMS, assemble the content into a presentation, and display the presentation on pre-programmed display areas (“VIEWBoards™”) within a 3D scene. In one or more embodiments, the CMS stores data representing courses created using the user interfaces provided by the CMS in one or more databases. In one or more embodiments, the CMS converts uploaded content into a set of standard image and video formats for display in the 3D scene and stores them in a database.
Abstract:
A method of determining the diffusion rate of a given analyte into a polymer film using an optical waveguide interferometer is disclosed. A method of forming a filter media by selecting a polymer for the sorbent system of the filter media based on the diffusion rate of a given analyte into a given polymer as measured by an optical waveguide interferometer is further disclosed.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a shift register structure and its control. The positioning and/or synchronization of data contained in this register for the purpose of serial operation are essentially obtained by acquisition of data on at least one auxiliary output SA1 of this register R. In particular the invention enables a programmable delay buffer register to be produced very simply.
