20090221369 | Video game controller - A controller configured to interactively control images, such as visual images including video images in interactive-multi-media including video games and the like. In one preferred embodiment, a controller is configured to generate a plurality of electromagnetic beams, whereby the user may selectively interrupt one or more of the electromagnetic beams to generate, control, or manipulate a visual image, rendered on a display. Advantageously, the user may control the visual image without having to physically depress buttons, to control one or more visual subjects. | 09-03-2009 |
20130138233 | MULTI-MEDIA SPATIAL CONTROLLER HAVING PROXIMITY CONTROLS AND SENSORS - A controller having proximity sensors associated with a trigger, such as beam sensors, configured to generate proximity data as a function of where each beam is broken along its span. A variety of control signals are be generated, whereby each beam can be configured to be spatially controlled and mapped to mimic other controllers, such as those of a DJ controller or other entertainment device. MIDI messages may be generated in response to positioning a member in a beam as detected by the proximity sensors. Each beam may be configured into a plurality of proximity zones, where a different MIDI message is generated when the member is positioned in the respective proximity zone. | 05-30-2013 |

20100107855 | System and methods for the creation and performance of enriched musical composition - A System and method for the creation and performance of enriched musical composition. One aspect of the invention allows a composer to associate content with one or more triggers, and to define behavior characteristics that control the functioning of each trigger. Another aspect of the invention provides a variety of user interfaces through which a performer can cause content to be presented to an audience. | 05-06-2010 |
20110143837 | Multi-media device enabling a user to play audio content in association with displayed video - A multi-media entertainment device enabling a user to control sound/audio elements of a music or sound program while video, such as a musical performance, is displayed and which is correlated to the played sound elements. The user interacts with triggers such as laser beams that can be interrupted by a player's fingers to play music, such as particular instruments of a soundtrack. For instance, a music video or concert has a video track and a sound track. The video track is displayed, and the user controls the audio play of the sound track by interrupting the beams, each beam associated with a different instrument. This allows the user to play the multimedia device along with a displayed video performance, in unison or synchronization with one or more musicians displayed on a display, such as a TV, monitor or video projection system. The user's play may be scored as a function of the user's accuracy of engaging the triggers in time unison with the displayed video image. For instance, a user can strum a trigger associated with a guitar program in unison with a guitarist on the display. The music created by the user interacting with multiple triggers is sympathetic and always synchronized to the video performance. If the user misses the timing of a note, the sound is not played. In another version, a video program such as that associated with a video game is displayed, and the user interacts by playing the triggers controlling sound elements associated with the displayed video game. | 06-16-2011 |

20110152836 | Method and Apparatus for Arterial and Venous Cannulation - A method and apparatus for cannulating vessels and cavities are provided. Such an apparatus includes a y-adaptor having a front leg configured to hold a needle, a guide-wire leg configured to receive a guide-wire, and a syringe leg configured to hold a syringe for aspiration. Once the needle is inserted into the desired vessel or cavity, the syringe may be aspirated to determine if the insertion was successful. Then, a guide-wire may be pushed into the guide-wire leg and into the needle via the front leg of the apparatus. Once the guide-wire has reached the targeted vessel or cavity, a catheter or cannula may be positioned over the guide wire and advanced to the desired location. | 06-23-2011 |
