20150189437 | Squeal Killer - There are styles of music that rely on the amplification of a harmonica by utilizing a microphone and an amplifier. When a harmonica needs to be amplified to a level where an audience can hear, audible feedback typically occurs due to the interaction of the microphone properties with the high amplification level. This audible feedback forces the artist to maintain a lower volume level and therefore a lower projection of sound. There have been attempts to reduce feedback in the past through the use of resistor and capacitor networks, however, these attempts altered the normal sound of the amplifier which in most cases is not a positive consequence and frowned on by musicians. The Squeal Killer is the first feedback reduction device that utilizes a 12at7 vacuum tube and when used with a microphone and amplifier, significantly reduces feedback and allows the musician to obtain higher volume levels. | 07-02-2015 |

20140033628 | PRECAST CONCRETE POST TENSIONED SEGMENTED WIND TURBINE TOWER - A post-tensioned precast segmental concrete tower has a stack of annular segments with uniform cross-sections which varies over the tower height. The transition between tower segments occurs in stages and is achieved using annular members or segments which support and anchor post-tensioning tendons that transfer loads passing through the tower as a result of a change in tower geometry. The tower segments are match cast against one another in fabrication to create tight matching opposing surfaces when placed into the tower and to create tight joints. The match casting eliminates the need for grout between precast segments, resulting in a faster tower erection time and high durability of the joints. All annular segments have horizontal joints and no vertical joints. The tower geometry simplifies the formwork system used to precast the segments, and the post-tensioning tendons tie all segments together and to the foundation. | 02-06-2014 |
