Abstract: The approach disclosed herein allows an end user to seamlessly switch and enjoy different versions of the same composition in a broadcast with one simple user action or gesture such as, for example, a swipe, button, click, or other user action. In particular, by utilizing a plurality of instances of an automation playback system or database with identical media libraries containing different versions of the same compositions, running the different versions of a selected composition locked together, and utilizing mechanics within the application, site, or platform, the user can switch between, for example, an uncensored and censored version of the same composition in real time.

Abstract: Various embodiments include gas turbomachine (GT) fuel systems, related control systems and GTs. In some cases, the GT fuel system includes: a plurality of combustion chambers circumferentially disposed around a gas turbine; a set of fuel nozzles directly mounted to each of the plurality of combustion chambers; a set of conduits coupled with each of the set of fuel nozzles at a first end of each of the conduits; and a set of liquid fuel check valves coupled with a second end of each of the set of conduits, the set of liquid fuel check valves being positioned radially offset and axially offset from the set of fuel nozzles.

Abstract: A hair removal device utilizes a system for sensing the presence and color of skin. The system includes a skin color sensor assembly and a capacitive sensor assembly disposed in a housing. The skin color sensor assembly includes a light pipe communicating with a color sensor aperture of the housing and having one or more notches defining receiving and emitting light propagation regions, a color sensor and one or more light emitting diodes, and a holder having at least one standoff mated to the notches thereby directing light emitted by the light emitting diodes through the light pipe for reflection of an external surface and receipt by the sensor for detection of surface color. The capacitive sensor assembly includes a plurality of copper elements in proximity to a device aperture and contacting an interior surface of the housing and for detection of an object in contact with the copper elements.

Abstract: A hair removal device and single-emitter diode based light homogenizing apparatus for use therewith, the homogenizing apparatus including a light guide having oppositely tapered walls, and a plurality of single-emitter laser diodes mounted to a carrier plate and optically coupled to an input end of the light guide. The housing of the device has an arcuate and ergonomic shape so as to be capable of being gripped by a user. A diffuser is applied to an output window of the device in order to produce a safe divergence of light exiting the device. Beams emitted from the diodes and coupled into the light guide are totally internally reflected to enhance the uniformity of the output beam exiting the light guide.
