  • Patent number: 8217253
    Abstract: An electric instrument music control device is provided having at least two multi-axis position sensors. One sensor is a reference multi-axis position sensor retained in a fixed position the reference multi-axis position sensor having at least one axis held in a fixed position. Another sensor is a moveable multi-axis position sensor rotatable about at least one axis corresponding to the at least one axis of the reference multi-axis position sensor, wherein the moveable multi-axis position sensor is in communication with the reference multi-axis position sensor. The device may include a processor that processes the differentiation between the angular position of the at least one axis of the reference multi-axis position sensor and the at least one axis of the moveable multi-axis position sensor, wherein the angular differentiation correlates to a music effect of an electric instrument.

  • Publication number: 20060283318
    Abstract: Gas block apparatus for receiving combustion gases from a firearm barrel clamps onto the barrel. A block is disposed on the top of the barrel and a clamp portion is disposed on the bottom of the barrel and clamps onto the block to secure the block to the barrel. The block is aligned to a gas bore in the barrel through which combustion gases flow and a pair of bores, vertical and horizontal, in the block receive the combustion gases. A key system or a pin system may be used for aligning the vertical bore in the block to the gas bore in the barrel.
