Abstract: A variable timepiece display mechanism includes a resilient hand with a drive pipe integral with a single-piece flexible strip including flexible segments joined at tips, a first segment thereof extends between the first pipe and a first tip. The mechanism also includes a driver for driving the pivoting of the pipe, and a stressor for stressing the first flexible segment in order to vary the position of the first tip relative to the output axis, as a function of the forces applied to the flexible strip. The drier and/or the stressor includes a first shaped gear train and/or a second shaped gear train in order to accelerate, stabilize the speed of, or slow at least the pipe over a part of the angular travel thereof.

Abstract: A device for adjusting horological functions of a timepiece, including a mechanism for selection and actuation, including: a drive driving a driving pinion in the clockwise and anti-clockwise directions, a driven pinion driven when the driving pinion turns clockwise and anti-clockwise, the driven pinion moving into a first position by the driving pinion turning clockwise, in which the driven pinion actuates an actuator of a first horological function, and moving into a second position by the driving pinion turning anti-clockwise, in which second position, the driven pinion actuates an actuator of a second horological function, the driven pinion not actuating the actuator of the first horological function when it is in its second position, and vice versa. The mechanism for selection and actuation includes at least two driven pinions, and the adjusting device includes a control mechanism selectively bringing the driving pinion into engagement with each of the driven pinions.

Abstract: A timepiece display mechanism with a resilient hand including a first and second device for driving, about an output axis, a first and a second pipe mounted at the ends of a flexible strip, and including a display index distant from the pipes, these drive devices being arranged to deform the flexible strip, by varying the angular position of one pipe with respect to the other about the output axis, and to vary the radial position of the display index with respect to this axis, this mechanism includes a first differential on the drive train of the first pipe, one input of which is formed by a first cam, and a second differential on the drive train of the second pipe, one input of which is formed by a second cam.

Abstract: A display mechanism a wheel carrying, constrained to rotate with it, a first wheel and a snail-shaped cam, the mechanism having an active first state in which the first wheel is driven in rotation by a driving wheel and a zero reset second state in which it is no longer driven to allow it to return to a predefined position, associated with a predefined position of the display member, the display mechanism further including a feeler-spindle adapted to cooperate with the perimeter of the cam, the feeler-spindle and the perimeter of the cam being adapted and sized so that the feeler-spindle exerts on the cam, in the second state, a return force having a non-radial component adapted to return the first wheel to its predefined position.

Abstract: A micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) driving arrangement for an electronic device, the micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) driving arrangement including a driven wheel; a driving actuation assembly for causing rotation of the driven wheel; an indicator assembly including an indicator; and a force absorbing assembly coupled intermediate the indicator assembly and the driven wheel; whereby a force acting upon the indicator assembly is absorbed by the force absorbing assembly so as to inhibit rotation of the driven wheel relative to the driving actuation assembly.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed relating to generating music content. In one embodiment, a method includes determining one or more musical attributes based on external data and generating music content based on the one or more musical attributes. Generating the music content may include selecting from stored sound loops or tracks and/or generating new tracks based on the musical attributes. Selected or generated sound loops or tracks may be layered to generate the music content. Musical attributes may be determined in some embodiments based on user input (e.g., indicating a desired energy level), environment information, and/or user behavior information. Artists may upload tracks, in some embodiments, and be compensated based on usage of their tracks in generating music content. In some embodiments, a method includes generating sound and/or light control information based on the musical attributes.

Abstract: A timepiece movement includes a control unit that determines a position of an indicating hand by detecting a rotation state of a rotor, and a train wheel that transmits a drive force of a stepping motor to the indicating hand, and that has a first gear, and a second gear and a third gear which mesh with the first gear. The first gear has a reference load unit that causes fluctuations in a load applied to the rotor in each case of meshing with the second gear and the third gear. A first line segment which connects a center of the first gear and a center of the second gear to each other forms an angle smaller than 180° with a second line segment which connects the center of the first gear and a center of the third gear.

Abstract: Provided are a mobile device, a method for operating the same, and a non-transitory computer readable storage medium. The mobile device includes a touch display configured to sense a user input; a memory; and a processor configured to examine, upon receiving the user input for generating an audio file from the touch display, characteristics of the user input and characteristics of a first audio included in first audio data stored in the memory, generate melody data based on the characteristics of the user input and the characteristics of the first audio, generate a second audio based on the melody data and chord information included in the first audio data, and generate the audio file by combining the generated second audio with the first audio.

Abstract: Advanced, but user-friendly composition and editing environments for musical scores may be provided using the types, and in some cases the instances, of computing devices that will in turn consume musical score content so generated. Indeed, by integrating musical composition facilities within synthetic musical instruments that can be widely deployed on hand-held or portable computing devices, a social music network that includes such synthetic musical instruments gains access to a large, and potentially prolific, population of authors, editors and reviewers, as well as to the community-sourced musical scores that they can generate. By curating such content and/or by applying crowd-sourcing or other computational techniques to maintain quality, a social music network may rapidly deploy the new and ever evolving content that its user community desires.

Abstract: An input device accepts user input and generates data indicative of notes, such as MIDI data. The input device includes a set of chord keys and a set of melody keys. A desired scale is selected, and the chord keys and melody keys are configured to utilize notes associated with that scale. The chord keys may be representative of all non-inverted chords associated with that scale. Inverted chords may be accessed using other keys or key combinations. Upon activation of an individual chord key, MIDI data representative of the notes in that chord is generated. Upon activation of an individual melody key, MIDI data representative of a single note from the scale is generated. Conflicts between notes associated with activated and released keys are resolved. Keys illuminated with a color associated with a particular note facilitate user recognition of that note in the chord keys and melody keys.
