  • Patent number: 11727904
    Abstract: Methods and systems are described that are utilized for remotely controlling a musical instrument. A first digital record comprising musical instrument digital commands from a first electronic instrument for a first item of music is accessed. The first digital record is transmitted over a network using a network interface to a remote, second electronic instrument for playback to a first user. Optionally, video data is streamed to a display device of a user while the first digital record is played back by the second electronic instrument. A key change command is transmitted over the network using the network interface to the second electronic instrument to cause the second electronic instrument to playback the first digital record for the first item of music in accordance with the key change command. The key change command may be transmitted during the streaming of the video data.

  • Patent number: 10412199
    Abstract: A tactical network comprises a plurality of assets, at least some of the assets grouped into sub-groups. The assets within each subgroup communicate with each other using a communication protocol. The sub-groups include a first subgroup in which the assets all communicate with each using a first communication protocol and a second sub-group in which the assets all communicate with each other using a second communication protocol which is incompatible with the first communication protocol. Each subgroup is associated with a federated server. The federated server is configured to receive data from the assets, to assess the data to identify significant changes, to convert the significant changes in the data into a common format, compatible with all federated servers in the tactical network, and to transmit, in the common format, to the federated server of another of the subgroups, the significant changes.
