Abstract: Methods, systems, products, language and processes are disclosed for the visual depiction of music. The present invention assigns a set of variables for musical note pitch and another set of variables for note duration. A visual depiction of the music is created when the assigned variables are manually and/or automatically translated from musical source materials. Music may be able to be played from the visual image, or output. The image may be converted back to the source material via the Present Invention.

Abstract: A pitch-mark repair tool used for repairing pitch-marks made on greens when playing golf is provided with a timing device which allows specific time periods applicable to a game of golf, such as the five-minute rule, to be measured objectively and simply with the specific advantage of being a non-disturbing yet readily usable piece of equipment which is required in general to be carried by all golfers. The repair tool timing device has operating buttons which are on the pitch-mark repair tool and which can be recessed and of such a size and shape that unintentional activation of the timing device is prevented when using the tool purely to repair a pitch-mark.

Abstract: An automatically activated device to increase the visibility of a person floating in the water which utilizes an inflatable flag assembly lying within a circular housing which is pivotally connected to a plate. Straps threaded through the plate are used to fasten the device to the body. When the wearer enters the water the flag assembly rises through the housing due to its own buoyancy and the banner portion of the flag remains above the head of the wearer. The pivotal connections maintain the flag assembly in the vertical posture even as the wearer bobs in the water.
