An approach is provided for converting color data into one or more musical notes. The approach involves reading, using a color-reading device, respective colors applied to a canvas by a plurality of drawing instruments as color data, wherein each of the plurality of drawing instruments is configured to draw in respective colors of a color palette, and wherein the respective colors of the color palette correspond respectively to a set of musical notes. The approach also involves processing, using a color processing module, the color data to generate a composition of the one or more musical notes from the color data based on a set of musical notes that correspond to the respective colors in the color data.

A beat recording pen for the recording and editing music and while serving as writing instrument. The device includes a retractable writing instrument disposed in an elongated shaft designed to house a power supply designed to provide electrical power to a transceiver that can transmit and receive digital signals to and from a connected mobile device or computer. The beat recording pen further includes an impact sensor that can detect an audio input signal of an impact event and convert the audio input signal into a digital signal. A micro-controller is disposed within the pen and can record the converted audio input signals detected by the impact sensor and interface with a software application installed on a connected mobile device or computer.

A multifunctional writing device includes a hollow body, wherein the hollow body comprises one or more cavities configured to store a mechanical pencil, a multifunctional drawing tool, a compass needle, a stylus, an eraser, a USB flash drive, an imaging system, a projector pen, a set of cameras, and attaches a projector stick. The first writing member comprises a mechanical pencil system being provided in a first portion of the hollow body and a touch ID sensitive barrel. A second projector member comprises a projector pen and attaches a projector stick. The first portion of the hollow body is at the opposite end of the second portion of the hollow body. The multifunctional writing device allows for projecting self-leveled and auto calibrated geometry drawing tools. A method for digitizing the written data on paper and a system for secure, auto proctored, and auto grading of examinations is provided.

A ornamental writing utensil assembly includes a housing has a writing well therein to receive an elongated writing utensil. Additionally, the housing has a rod well therein. A mating member is coupled to the housing and the mating member releasably engages a support surface for storing the housing. A rod is insertable into the rod well and a pair of wings that each movably engages the rod to enhance the ornamental appearance of the writing utensil. A plurality of couplers is each coupled to a respective one of the wings. Each of the couplers movably engages the rod for retaining each of the wings on the rod.

The present invention teaches that a custom designed tool might serve as a marker cap for a standard size and diameter of marker such as a Sharpie® or Revmark® brand marker, along with an LED or low light LED or dim red LED or even infrared LED, and a hex drive socket which could then be used with an appropriate size of hex bit (such as a BITHEX™ tool head) for the exact size of adjustment screw heads found on any particular laser gun aiming device. The LED serves to light the laser aiming device screw head and the hex bit tool head, and in embodiments may be quite dim or otherwise inconspicuous.

A manual device including a first portion and a second portion. The second portion being at least partially fitted into the first portion and being moveable in translation relative to the first portion. The first portion having a first distal end while the second portion has a second distal end opposite the first distal end. The second portion also includes a locking device designed to prevent the first portion from moving in translation relative to the second portion only when, considered in the direction of gravity. The first distal end is arranged above the second distal end, and the locking device includes a chamber and a ball or equivalent accommodated in the chamber. The chamber is provided only in the second portion.

The present invention relates to a method of calculating a surgical intervention plan. Based on surface data of the patient, a surface representation of a part of the patient's body is created. From a database, a plurality of surgical methods may be selected and the geometrical parameters of a surgical plan can be adapted based on each individual surgical method. Therefore, the surgeon may easily select, which of the surgical method is appropriate for the planned surgical intervention. Furthermore, the surgical intervention plan which has been adapted according to the finally selected surgical method may then be projected onto the skin of the patient such that a drawing of the incision lines is facilitated. Furthermore, the use of a remotely activatable pen based on the current position of the pen and based on the finally selected surgical plan is presented.
