Abstract: There are styles of music that rely on the amplification of a harmonica by utilizing a microphone and an amplifier. When a harmonica needs to be amplified to a level where an audience can hear, audible feedback typically occurs due to the interaction of the microphone properties with the high amplification level. This audible feedback forces the artist to maintain a lower volume level and therefore a lower projection of sound. There have been attempts to reduce feedback in the past through the use of resistor and capacitor networks, however, these attempts altered the normal sound of the amplifier which in most cases is not a positive consequence and frowned on by musicians. The Squeal Killer is the first feedback reduction device that utilizes a 12at7 vacuum tube and when used with a microphone and amplifier, significantly reduces feedback and allows the musician to obtain higher volume levels.

Abstract: One implementation of the present invention may take the form of a system for a hard disc drive counter-vibration device that may absorb rotational vibration or gyration of the hard disc drive module. This mounting device may incorporate at least one soft, plastic sphere and a pair of concave dished surfaces, configured to face each other and maintain the sphere between them. The sphere of the counter-vibration assembly may support the hard disc drive (HDD) while the weight of the HDD may align the dishes with each other and over the sphere. In this manner, the sphere may act as a spring and allow the HDD to vibrate or gyrate without transmitting the mechanical movement to the rest of the HDD assembly or electronic device.

Abstract: A agglomerated granular protein-rich nutritional supplement includes a mixture of one or more of: edible nutritional food proteins; edible carbohydrates; edible fats; edible dietary vitamins and minerals; edible amino acids; and edible plant extracts, where the nutritional supplement is agglomerated and granulated in an oral unit dosage form that is directly absorbable onto the tongue or rapidly dissolvable in an aqueous liquid. Specific formulations of the supplement are shown, for use by specific groups of individuals. Also shown are methods of supplementing the nutritional intake of various individuals engaged in various activities having various needs by orally administering a formulation of the protein-rich nutritional supplement. The nutritional supplement is in an oral unit dosage form of either agglomerated granules or a rapidly dissolvable wafer and may include a flavoring compound and an effervescing compound.

Abstract: A agglomerated granular protein-rich nutritional supplement comprising a mixture of: 13 to 100 percent by weight edible nutritional food proteins; 0 to 57 percent by weight edible carbohydrates; 0 to 10 percent by weight edible fats; 0 to 15 percent by weight edible dietary vitamins and minerals; 0 to 78 percent by weight edible amino acids; 0 to 10 percent by weight edible plant extracts, and up to 4 percent by weight chondroitin sulfate, where the nutritional supplement is agglomerated and granulated in an oral unit dosage form that is directly absorbable onto the tongue or rapidly dissolvable in an aqueous liquid. Specific formulations of the supplement are disclosed, for use by specific groups of individuals. A method of supplementing the nutritional intake of individuals engaged in bodybuilding and protein supplementation, meal replacement, exercise recovery or mass gaining, comprising orally administering a formulation of the protein-rich nutritional supplement.
