Abstract: A jury selection system for efficient jury selection using a jury board demarcated with a grid that mimics a jury seating arrangement. The jury selection system further comprises a primary tag to record a juror's information to be placed in the demarcated space on the board that corresponds with the juror's actual seat number. The primary tag has a primary tag indicator to indicate that the tag is a primary tag. A supplemental tag is provided if more information is recorded to be placed on top of the primary tag. The supplemental tag has a cut out to align with the primary tag indicator so that the primary tag can be identified when the supplemental tag is placed on top of the primary tag. Peremptory tags may be used to keep track of peremptory challenges.

Abstract: The invention can be efficiently used for intensively learning different disciplines, including foreign languages, and for forming and automating operational skills of professionals in different field of activity. It makes it possible to obtain a technical result and a high-quality intensive training. The use of a training aid is developed according to a synergetic theory in the form of a synergetic training device and makes it possible to provide a synergetic variant of intensive training. The synergetic training device is embodied in a dynamic technical device consisting of several soundproof booths which comprise training facilities and technical means using a sensor system.

Abstract: One embodiment of the present invention relates to a method for teaching music to one or more students. The instructor's manual operation of a musical instrument controls in real-time the illumination of guide lamps on each student's musical instrument. This allows the students to visually connect the note to be played with the instructor's verbal instruction and then play the visually indicated note without having to look up at the instructor or a distant display. In another embodiment, the instructor's manual operation of his musical instrument provides a score display of the played note on each student's musical instrument. The students can visually connect the played note with the musical notation on the score display. Remote teaching over a communication network is also described as well as a removable interface for the musical instrument to assist in teaching and use of the instrument.

Abstract: A computer-assisted instruction system used in a method of instructing a group of students broadly includes a suite (12,14,16,18) configured to accommodate the group of students and a computer system (36) for delivery of instruction relating to an instruction curriculum to the suite (12,14,16,18). The suite (12,14,16,18) includes a group assembly area and a plurality of harbors (24). The harbors (24) are each configured to accommodate a pair of the students. The computer system (36) includes a computer (38) positioned at each harbor coupled with a network computer (40). The computers (38) are linked to permit electronic transfer of information between the harbors (24).

Abstract: A large number of keys arranged in a matrix are provided on the keyboard (KB) of a host computer. Of these keys, keys (K10, . . . , K15, . . . ), located at positions corresponding to Learning terminals in a classroom, are assigned to the respective learning terminals.

Abstract: In a group education system of the type having a teacher console and a plurality of terminals at seat positions assignable for student use, a display apparatus includes a display screen adapted to display a seating pattern which corresponds to the seating arrangement of terminals within the classroom. The displayed pattern is created by designating certain areas of the display screen to correspond to seat positions actually assigned for student use, and identifying symbols may be displayed in each of these areas. The display apparatus also includes pattern selecting keys for reordering the designated areas to correspond to a selected on of a plurality of predetermined patterns. In an information display made of the apparatus, actuation of a switch corresponding to a respective one of these areas causes the display of information related to the student occupying the corresponding seat in the classroom.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for dividing the working space of a restaurant into selected stations and for assigning service personnel to these stations comprising identification elements each associated with a respective subject and adapted for being magnetically attracted onto a layout which comprises a transparent plastic sheet on which are drawn divisions of the restaurant into separate sections and an underlying floor plan showing on a reduced scale, the physical area of the restaurant. A correlation sheet is secured in proximity to the layout to indicate the particular subject associated with its respective identification element and its station in accordance with the number of stations which the restaurant is to be divided at any given time of day. A plurality of transparent sheets are furnished corresponding to the maximum number of divisions of the restaurant into separate sections.
