Each of the primary radial axes of the emitter module is equally spaced apart by an offset angle. The emitter module may also comprise an additional one of each of the emitters at each of the different wavelengths (e.g., ten total emitters).

Abstract: Braided composite yarns including one or more functional components such as conductors and one or more structural components such as para-aramid fibers, and methods of manufacture therefor. Bundles of at least one functional component and at least one structural component undergo simultaneous parallel winding under tension onto a single bobbin prior to braiding, thus reducing the mechanical loading forces on the functional components in the final yarn. The yarns can be engineered with application-specific electrical, electronic, electromagnetic, or physical properties that enable their use as electronic components or sensors, and attached to or incorporated into active textiles and composite substrates. The yarns can be directly soldered to without prior removal of insulation or other yarn components. Some yarns, such as those for use as inductors, can include a core with desired electrical properties.

Abstract: The present invention enables a user to share his/her listening experience selectively with others without sharing headphones and without disturbing others who do not want to listen. In a preferred embodiment, a first listener can accomplish this by storing in a Portable Electronic Device or similar device a library of listening experiences, listening to one of the listening experiences, and while listening to that one listening experience streaming the one listening experience to at least one other Portable Electronic Device or similar device. A second listener at the other Portable Electronic Device can then listen to the same listening experience as the first listener at the same time. It is expected that the listening experiences will typically be songs or other music but the invention may be practiced with any type of audio content. The first listener may also create a playlist of the listening experiences in the library and make the playlist available to others.
