Abstract: A fluid coupling for providing a fluid connection between an electronic module and a rack having an electrical connector to which the electronic module is connected, comprises a male coupler and a mating female coupler. The male coupler includes a male coupler body and a nipple, and the female coupler includes a female coupler body and a socket for receiving the nipple to establish a sealed fluid flow path between the male and female couplers when the couplers are connected together.

Abstract: A musical instrument is disclosed which is constructed of a group of taut strings arranged to be strummed, each string being connected to operate an analog switch capable of producing a graduated signal that is directly proportional to the amplitude of vibration of its string, an extrinsic sound source in circuit with each analog switch, the sound source having a variable volume which is varied directly proportional to the strength of the signal from the analog switch, a number of switch means arranged in a keyboard, each of which may close the circuit to one or more preselected sound sources for which the switch means are closed and the strings are vibrating.
