  • Patent number: 9620092
    Abstract: Disclosed are ways to generate a melody. Currently, no algorithm exists for automatically composing a melody based on music lyrics. However, according to some recent studies, within a song, there usually exists a correlation between a song's notes and a song's lyrics wherein a melody can be generated based on such correlation. Disclosed herein, are systems, methods and algorithms that consider the correlation between a song's lyrics and a song's notes to compose a melody.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8590363
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a portable, personal breath tester device for testing the blood alcohol content of the user of the device. The breath tester comprises a circuit board, wherein a sensor, a liquid crystal display, and a processing unit are installed on and electrically connected to the circuit board. The processing unit receives a voltage signal from the sensor representing the blood alcohol content of the user and converts the voltage signal to a precise value that is displayed on the liquid crystal display.

  • Publication number: 20080180866
    Abstract: A combined arc fault circuit interrupter and leakage current detector interrupter. A current sensor, amplifier, and comparator are employed to detect the presence of leakage current in alternating current power conductors. Upon the detection of an amount of current leakage beyond a threshold level, a relay is opened, disconnecting a source of AC power from a power conductor being monitored, such as an appliance line cord. An arc sensor, envelope detector, amplifier, and microcontroller are employed to detect the presence of an arc fault in the alternating current power conductors. The arc fault detection algorithm implemented by the microcontroller is capable of discriminating between high frequency noise which is not caused by a parallel or series arc fault, with high frequency anomalies which are the result of arcing.
