Abstract: A windshield for a cycle, such as a motorcycle, bicycle or tricycle, having a dihedral leading surface to provide operator protection of wind, dust, bugs and debris. The windshield further comprises a pair of side panels extending from the dihedral leading surface to provide added stability to the cycle by providing a corrective steering force behind the axis of the cycle's fork to maintain the orientation of the fork into the wind. The windshield is securely attached to a cycle without the use of tools and with adequate strength to withstand the rigors of prolonged use. The attachment between the cycle and the windshield preferably includes a break-away feature to allow for one piece break-away of the windshield if subjected to rear impact from a cycle's rider or passenger during a crash.

Abstract: An apparatus and method are provided for processing an audio signal conveying a musical passage so as to reveal the sequence of musical chords contained within that passage. The signal is amplified, filtered, and converted to digital data, which are then processed using digital filters to determine in real time the amplitude of every note within a predetermined note range. The most prominent notes are compared to chord patterns to determine which, if any, chord is implied, and the chord name is then displayed to the user. Further provided is a means for detecting and correcting for any deviation of the pitches of the notes in the passage from their standard frequencies.
