  • Patent number: 12646490
    Abstract: The Custom Fitting Stringed Instrument Pick (pick) provides a fast, comfortable, and effective way to mimic the natural fingernails many musicians cannot maintain in order to pluck the strings of a musical instrument as desired and on a regular basis. Said pick also provides a novel means to secure to a finger or thumb of the musician's hand. Instead of the traditional means of securing, the present invention snugly wraps around said finger or thumb and gently presses simultaneously downwards from the nail side of the digit and upwards from the fleshy underside of the digit tip. This not only allows said pick to be tightly secured to the digit but distributes the pressure on the digit in an even way. It also allows for inter-digit tactical feel that provides feedback to the player over time and permits easier execution of fast and difficult musical passages. Said pick is also capable of being custom fit to suit the contours, geometry, and size of a player's fingers and thumb.

  • Publication number: 20230287735
    Abstract: The Privacy Adapter For Venetian Blinds allows for independent operation of an upper portion of said blinds and a lower portion of same. This invention pertains to venetian and mini blinds as are used to provide shade and cover for windows and openings to allow light and access in buildings. Traditional blinds allow for filtering and blocking of light in said openings. This, however, leaves a lot to be desired in terms of allowing a portion of the blinds to be selectively operated and another portion of said blinds to be independently operated.

  • Publication number: 20220197369
    Abstract: The Gyst Interaction Driven User Interface (Gyst Technology) allows a Human-Computer Interaction System to measure the interaction skill and/or interaction behavior exhibited by a human user via input devices and to adjust the output to the output devices accordingly. The measurement of user performance with the Gyst Technology is a new and improved method over earlier technologies and accounts for the users interaction skill, the amount of time they dwell on particular content, their speed of response generation, accuracy of response generation and other factors, any or all of which can be used to personalize the user experience in real time. The purpose of Gyst Technology is to provide a user experience that is tailored to the skills, preferences, abilities, optimal interaction skill, and other personal attributes of the user and their environment automatically via a machine-learned process. This provides a more cost effective and improved experience for the user.

  • Publication number: 20130069858
    Abstract: This invention allows a system to monitor how quickly and accurately the user is responding via the input device. The input device can be a mouse, a keyboard, their voice, a touch-screen, a tablet PC writing instrument, a light pen or any other commercially available device used to input information from the user to the PBCD. Information is displayed on the PBCD screen based on how quickly and accurately the user is navigating with the input device.

  • Publication number: 20130070911
    Abstract: This invention allows a Voice System to adapt to the speaking accent of the user. This means that users of the system would automatically hear the voice messages played by the Voice System in the same accent that they are likely to be speaking in. The purpose of the invention is to permit more fluid, productive, user friendly and shorter interactions with IVR and other Voice Systems.

  • Publication number: 20120310652
    Abstract: An Adaptive Human-Computer Interface (AAHCI) allows an electronic system to automatically monitor and learn from normal in-use behavior exhibited by a human user via responses generated by the supported input devices and to adjust output to the supported output devices accordingly. This Auto-Learning process is different than computer-directed training sessions and takes place as the user begins to use the device for the first time and with repeated use over time. The purpose of AHCI is to provide a user experience that is tailored to the skills, preferences, deficiencies and other personal attributes of the user automatically via machine-learned processes. This in turn provides an improved user experience that is more productive and cost efficient and that can automatically optimize itself over time with repeated use.
