20150089428 | Quick Tasks for On-Screen Keyboards - Quick tasks for on-screen keyboards are described in which an on-screen keyboard supports a plurality of quick tasks configured to edit selected text in defined ways. Quick task functions may be assigned to keys of the on-screen keyboard in addition to the default actions or “normal” character entry functions of the keys. During text input, the keys operate normally to perform a function related to character entry, such as to cause input of corresponding text character. When text is selected or in other designated interaction scenarios, operation of a key associated with a quick task may automatically trigger the quick task to modify selected text in a corresponding way.

20100116123 | TRANSDUCER SADDLE FOR STRINGED INSTRUMENT - A saddle of a multi-stringed instrument includes a highly efficient means of coupling to sensors, vibrations from plucked musical instruments strings. The saddle includes a downwardly extending body portion for mechanically conveying string vibrations to transducers by way of cavities beneath a string saddle that define a vertically compliant area of sensitivity. The vertically compliant area beneath each respective string is mechanically responsive to vertical string motion. These areas couple the strings to transducers mounted within said cavities, and are selectively sensitive to vertical string vibrations from the top of the saddle, beneath the string. The uni-directional sensitivity does not respond to vibratory information from beneath the saddle and is only sensitive from its top or positive Z axis direction. This eliminates the introduction of micro-phonic noise from the body of the instrument in the amplified signal. Isolating the vertical component of the string vibration further maximizes fidelity, clarity of sound and responsiveness. The cavities housing the transducers are arranged in alternating phase relationships to avoid phase cancellation effects between the adjacent transducers. A string saddle kit for a multi-stringed instrument includes multiple string saddle segments each providing a highly efficient means of coupling to sensors, vibrations from plucked musical instruments strings. | 05-13-2010 |
20110041673 | TRANSDUCER SADDLE FOR STRINGED INSTRUMENT - A string saddle system for a multi-stringed instrument includes a unitary saddle body having opposing surfaces and a top saddle portion that support tensioned strings and receive vibratory energy therefrom. The saddle body includes a plurality of integral cavities, each integral cavity in correspondence with a respective string and defining an area of sensitivity beneath each string within the saddle body, each area of sensitivity extending from the top surface of the saddle body above the cavity beneath the respective string to the corresponding cavity structure and extending horizontally according to a length of the integral cavity. A flexurally responsive transducer element is mechanically coupled to each integral cavity at mechanical coupling points, the transducer element for converting vibratory energy from the respective string to an electric signal, the area of sensitivity conveying vibrations of the respective string to the suspended transducer element via a mechanical coupling point located within each respective integral cavity structure. A first conductor is embedded within the top surface, and a second conductor embedded within the saddle body, the embedded first conductor and the embedded second conductor having respective portions extending to each the integral cavity structure to provide exposed electrical contact areas at a cavity surface defining electrical coupling points for electrically connecting the transducer element to the first and second conductors at each respective the integral cavity structure. | 02-24-2011 |
