US Patent:

7871810, Jan 18, 2011

Filed:

Nov 3, 2004

Appl. No.:

10/980886

Inventors:

Scott R. Warren - San Francisco CA, US
Louis B. Hoff - Belmont CA, US
Mark F. Oldham - Los Gatos CA, US

Assignee:

Life Technologies Corporation - Carlsbad CA

International Classification:

C12M 1/00
G01N 15/06
G01N 21/47

US Classification:

4352831, 4352862, 4352872, 4352887, 422 681, 422 8205, 422 8208

Abstract:

Systems and methods for positioning a multi-featured biological array relative to a signal acquisition device. Detection of the array's positional deviation may be achieved by a calibration beam reflected from the array surface and detected by a position sensitive detector (PSD). The PSD-measured positional deviation can be transformed and used in a control loop to correct for positional variations of the array. The calibration beam and PSD may also be used to detect the array or feature boundaries, thereby allowing lateral centering or positioning of the array relative to the signal acquisition device.

International Classification:

G06K009/00

US Classification:

382129000, 382255000, 422082050

Abstract:

Systems and methods for positioning a camera target relative to a signal acquisition frame. Detection of the target's position deviation may be achieved by a calibration beam being reflected from the target surface and being detected by at least two position sensitive detectors (PSDs) to thereby allow removal of ambiguity in the target's Z-focus error from its tilt error. The PSD-measured quantities can be transformed into target control space quantities that can be used in a control loop to reduce the target position error. The calibration beam and one or more of the PSDs can also be used to detect the target's edges, thereby allowing lateral centering of the target relative to the reference frame.

Appl. No.:

16/431405

Inventors:

Scott Anthony Warren - North Hollywood CA, US

International Classification:

G09B 15/02
G09B 5/06

Abstract:

Teaching methods and systems for teaching music are described. The methods and systems can implement searching methods for helping a student learn how to become more familiar with a keyboard and music in general. The teaching methods and systems can include a set of drills and exercises can be presented to a student to in order to increase a student's musical ability far faster than can be achieved by traditional teaching methods and systems.

Appl. No.:

15/819815

Inventors:

Scott Anthony Warren - North Hollywood CA, US

International Classification:

G09B 15/02
G09B 5/06

Abstract:

A set of teaching methods and system for implementing such teaching methods is disclosed for helping a music student learn how become more familiar with a keyboard and music in general. A set of drills and exercises are presented which will increase a student's musical ability far faster than can be achieved by traditional teaching methods. In addition, a set of humorous characters Moreover, a system is presented which will allow implementation of these exercises.
