A device includes a signaling means and a motion sensor, and logic for activating or controlling the signaling means in response to a sensed motion according to an embedded logic. The device may be used as a toy, and may be shaped like a play ball or as a handheld unit. It may be powered from a battery, either chargeable from an AC power source directly or contactless by using induction or by converting electrical energy from harvested kinetic energy. The embedded logic may activate or control the signaling means, predictably or randomly, in response to sensed acceleration magnitude or direction, such as sensing the crossing of a preset threshold or sensing the peak value. The visual means may be a numeric display for displaying a value associated with the count of the number of times the threshold has been exceeded or the peak magnitude of the acceleration sensed.

A method for processing a voice signal by an electronic system to create a song is disclosed. The method comprises the steps in the electronic system of acquiring an input singing voice recording (11); estimating a musical key (15b) and a Tempo (15a) from the singing voice recording (11); defining a tuning control (16) and a timing control (17) able to align the singing voice recording (11) with the estimated musical key (15b) and Tempo (15a); applying the tuning control (16) and the timing control (17) to the singing voice recording (11) so that an aligned voice recording (20) is obtained. Next, the method comprises the step of generating an music accompaniment (23) as function of the estimated musical key (15b) and Tempo (15a) and an arrangement database (22) and mixing the aligned voice recording (20) and the music accompaniment (23) to obtain the song (12). A system a server and a device are also disclosed.

A therapeutic device that can diffuse essential oils, infuse frequency into liquids, emit frequency-driven lights, and produce solfeggio tones. The therapeutic device includes an enclosure, at least one oil-diffusing device, at least one frequency-infusing device, at least one frequency-tone generator, a first plurality of ambience lights, at least one vent, and a first controller. The enclosure is used to conceal and protect the electronic components. The at least one oil-diffusing device is used to diffuse fluids. The at least one frequency-infusing device is used to infuse frequency by vibration into fluids. The at least one frequency-tone generator is used to generate tones of different frequencies. The first plurality of ambience lights is used for aesthetic and therapeutic aspects. The at least one vent is used as an escape for the mist produced by the diffusion of the fluids. The first controller is used to manage the electronic components.

This invention eliminates most mechanical switching in vibrational pickup circuits by using variable gains to combine signals of sensors in differential amplifiers as J−1 humbucking pairs for J>1 number of sensors, with the sensors matched to produce the same level and phase of unwanted hum from external sources. It can also combine J>1 number of matched sensors with K>1 number of dissimilar sensors which are matched only to each other in the same manner. This produces not only all the possible mechanically switched humbucking signals, but all the continuously-varying combinations of humbucking signals in between.
