One embodiment is a book includes a plurality of pages, a plurality of magnets, and a sensor. The plurality of the magnets generate a combined magnetic field strength, which is variable depending on positions of the pages on which the magnets are disposed. The sensor senses the combined magnetic field strength and generates a varying signal based on a varying of the combined magnetic field strength when at least one page is moved. The varying signal indicates a position of at least one page in the book.

Mount for Attaching Electronic Devices to a Guitar Stand
20180352949 · 2018-12-13 ·

A mount that is used to attach electronic devices to a guitar stand is made of a back panel, a clamping mechanism, a support scissor mechanism, and a stand-grasping fastener. The clamping mechanism is a user-actuated clamp that uses a fixed jaw and a movable jaw to hold electronic devices against the back panel. The back panel, which is a rigid plate, is connected to the fixed jaw to further support the clamped electronic device. Additionally, the fixed jaw of the clamping mechanism is mounted onto one end of the rigid support beam. The support scissoring mechanism is an adjustable support assembly that can be locked in a desired orientation. The mount for electronic devices is capable of being attached to various other pieces of musical equipment or stage equipment because a stand-grasping fastener is affixed to a second end of the support scissor mechanism, opposite to the fixed jaw.

A chapter-synchronized item-dispensing system is disclosed. The device includes a main housing, a book retention slot, multiple chapter access doors, and an internal item-holder assembly that stores and aligns thematic items with corresponding book chapters. The retention slot secures a book without interfering with internal components. Each access door opens to a dedicated compartment, allowing readers to retrieve chapter-specific items sequentially as they progress through the narrative. The internal assembly features a compartmentalized tray with alignment structures that maintain accurate positioning between compartments and doors, preventing item displacement during handling. The system accommodates various materials, door mechanisms, tray layouts, and thematic designs, supporting customizable, refillable, or single-use formats. By combining book storage, controlled chapter-based access, and reliable item retention in a unified structure, the invention enhances reader engagement and offers a flexible platform for authors, publishers, and merchandise creators.
