UnitKeyboard: An Easily Configurable Compact Clavier
نویسندگان
چکیده
Musical keyboard instruments have a long history, which resulted in many kinds of keyboards (claviers) today. Since the hardware of conventional musical keyboards cannot be changed, such as the number of keys, musicians have to carry these large keyboards for playing music that requires only a small diapason. To solve this problem, the goal of our study is to construct UnitKeyboard, which has only 12 keys (7 white keys and 5 black keys) and connectors for docking with other UnitKeyboards. We can build various kinds of musical keyboard configurations by connecting one UnitKeyboard to others, since they have automatic settings for multiple keyboard instruments. We discuss the usability of the UnitKeyboard from reviews by several amateur and professional pianists who used the UnitKeyboard.

Design of Compact Multi-Channel Diplexer Using Defected Microstrip Structure
In this paper, two compact quad-channel and six-channel diplexer are designed and fabricated using defected microstrip structure (DMS). This structure is designed for the desired frequency based on the literature reviews. The proposed configuration is composed of a conventional T-junction divider with two pairs of open bended stubs and dual/tri-band filters. In designing dual band filters, a lo...
متن کاملA New Compact Microstrip-Fed Monopole Antenna for Triple Band WLAN/WiMAX Applications
A new compact printed tri-band antenna for WLAN/WiMAX applications is presented. The proposed antenna consists of three inverted L-shaped strips whose geometry looks like a “bent fork”. These strips are attached to the feed line through a horizontal strip. By optimizing the geometries of the inverted L-shaped strips, distinct resonant points can be effectively created for different frequency ba...

متن کاملReco: Representation and Evaluation of Configurable Offers
Up until now, electronic negotiations have primarily focused on the trading of simple goods and services, where products can be described either by price alone or as a set of attributes. There is little support for trading complex, configurable products, such as computer systems, automobiles, insurances and services in general. Companies need to communicate offers including complex rules and bu...
