Abstract: A computer-implemented method for displaying a predetermined sequence of exercise routines is provided. The method includes receiving a light sequence for the predetermined sequence of exercise routine from an application interface of a user device. The method further includes triggering one or more light emitting elements of a set of light emitting elements disposed on an exercising mat and detecting a movement on one or more touch buttons of a set of touch buttons on the exercising mat. The method includes determining a state of each of the corresponding one or more touch buttons upon detection of the movement. Furthermore, the method includes activating a debounce mechanism to delay in illuminating next one or more light emitting elements of the set of light emitting elements based on the state and displaying the light sequence on the exercising mat for guiding a user for performing the predetermined sequence of exercise routines.

Abstract: A silicone sheet or multiple pads lie over electric heating elements. The sheet may be one continuous sheet, or it may be divided into separate components for each heating element. If it's a continuous pad, openings sized for the heating element and a cover sized for the opening cover the heating element. If separate pads are used, each pad has an opening, and a cover sized for the opening covers the heating element under the opening. When using one heating element, the user removes its removable cover and places the pot or pan in the opening. Any splatter lands on the pad, and cleaning the splatter from the pad does not damage the glass top.

Abstract: An apparatus includes an input for receiving session tracks, an audio converter for converting the first and second data into one of a plurality of audio formats, thereby generating converted session tracks; a storage medium for storing the converted session tracks; a session-track vectorization unit for packaging the converted session tracks into a session vector for transmission to the distributed music collaboration system, and a session-track transfer unit for effecting transfer of the session vector to the distributed music collaboration system.

Abstract: A modification unit for a musical instrument amplifier includes a modification circuit and a connector for connecting the modification circuit to a tube socket in place of one of the tubes in the pre-amp stage of the amplifier. The pre-amp includes at least a gain stage with a gain tube and a socket for receiving the gain tube where the tube socket has at least one plate contact, at least one cathode contact and at least one filament (heater) contact. The modification circuit includes a jack for receiving an electronic signal originated by the musical instrument and a circuitry for modifying the received electronic signal to generate a modified signal.
