Red Bull X-Fighters World Tour 2011 Brasilia
The Red Bull X-Fighters are back in Brazil!
In 2008 the Red Bull X-Fighters came to Rio de Janeiro, the heart of Samba country.
The riders were impressed by the Brazilian dance moves and the Brazilian crowd was amazed by the spectacular fmx show. Jeremy "Twitch" Stenberg won against Mat Rebeaud, who did a mistake in the final and André Villa crashed badly, but luckily he overcame it without any injuries.
This time the Red Bull X-Fighters go to the literal heart of the country, to the capital of Brazil, Brasilia!
The riders can't wait to go there!

Travel Blogs from Bologna
Parmigiano Reggiano and Balsamic Vinegar of Modena
... We were fortunate enough to have a tasting of unaged cheese, and cheese aged for 12, 24, 40 and 60 months. We both agreed 40 months was the best. After the parmigiano wheels are made, the remaining whey is then heated again and a small amount of vinegar is added. It is mixed and heated some more, until new curds form. These curds now become ricotta cheese. ("ricotta" means "re-cooked" in Italian). The remaining whey is then used to provide the rennet for the next day's ...
Oh Mia Bologna
... That day we had a fabulous meal in a little osteria with all Italians -- the best pumpkin ravioli I've ever had! We spent that afternoon at the Ferrari museum learning about the amazing history of that family and looking at the cars. Modena is only about a 40 minute driv from here.
But Bologna has been our favorite. We found a cafe that became our favorite for wine and a board of local meats and ...
... and radicchio that was delicious. That was followed by the pasta course of ravioli. Half the ravioli were ricotta and herb filled, and half were filled with butternut squash. We continued with a radicchio salad and ended with a "chocolate salumi". Of course, there was plenty of Lambrusco flowing. So much for our "light lunch" We continued on to Fratelli Galloni, the premier prosciutto producer in Parma. We had a tour of the facility by Marina Galloni, ...
Maranello to Tremezzo, Lake Como
... of that day. Amazing pasta! At 2pm we had a factory tour booked and pulled onto the Ferrari site. No photos allowed here. Only three of us on tour. Felt very special. They took us to see the F1 site where all the previous F1 vehicles have been sold to clients (six a year, valued from 1.2m to 2.9m) and are kept there to be maintained and raced on special days organised by Ferrari. How the other half live! Then we saw FXX and 599 racing Ferrari's which are only allowed on sports ...
Lake Lucerne to Maranello
... Room was basic but clean and bed very comfy. Went to restaurant attached to hotel that we had booked for dinner at 7.45pm. Very Italian but luckily one lady could speak some English so we managed. Stu likes their local sparkling red wine so we may have a wine convert! Stu had steak and I tried a local chicken dish followed by tiramisu and a cream puff. Well ready for bed then and the factory tour ...

Apple's Steve Jobs again gets salary of $1
Apple's Steve Jobs again received a salary of $1 in 2004, according to an annual proxy statement filed Tuesday with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Jobs also did not receive stock options or restricted stock from Apple last year. "For years, Jobs, who co-founded Cupertino, California-based Apple, has taken a salary of $1," reports Reuters. "In March 2003, Jobs voluntarily canceled all of his outstanding options, excluding those granted to him in his capacity as director." Jobs is Apple's second-largest shareholder, with more than 10 million shares, or 1.23 percent of the company's outstanding share count, according to Marketwatch.

I'd take a $1 a year in salary if I could have 10 million shares = CLOSE TO A BILLION DOLLARS any day!
Steve Jobs is no martyr. He's making bocku-bucks.
Posted by FallN in New York, NY on March 15, 2005 at 2:40 PM (CST)
He's overpaid :)
Posted by Weasel on March 15, 2005 at 2:49 PM (CST)
Ah, but the snippet said that he did NOT recieve any additional shares either. One would deduce that he draws his Apple income from the dividends he recieves from his well performing shares of company stock. Not too mention that the stock split when profits were announced in the last quarter. = Mo' money…
Posted by Derek in Chicago, IL on March 15, 2005 at 3:00 PM (CST)
And on top of his Apple stock, he's also got Pixar $$ rollin' in. He's not hurtin' for cash.
Posted by Brocktune in United States on March 15, 2005 at 3:13 PM (CST)
Co-ownership and no paycheck? Steve Jobs is a communist! Throw your Macs and iPods out the window! Run for the hills! Mmmmmmmm, stylish communism.
Posted by TeeteringSilence on March 15, 2005 at 3:26 PM (CST)
Steve had better buy that one iTunes song while he can. It will be dead silence on that private jet once the music labels force the price above $1.
Posted by Nagromme on March 15, 2005 at 3:32 PM (CST)
if steve is the second-largest share holder, who owns the most shares?
Posted by washer on March 15, 2005 at 3:51 PM (CST)
I don't see why anyone thinks this is newsworthy. Exatly as Brocktune said, he has millions. He doesn't need the salary.
You reach a point with your accumulated wealth where it's not about money, because you got the money thing taken care of for generations. Jobs has past that point long ago.
I mean, it's a nice PR thing and gets Apple's name in the news, but it's really a non-issue.
Posted by jinzo-ningen on March 15, 2005 at 3:52 PM (CST)
Overpaid? Hardly. Look at what he has done with Apple and Pixar. Enough said.
Posted by narco in Burbank on March 15, 2005 at 4:38 PM (CST)
You guys don't get it do you? Yes, Steve is worth millions… or billions. Clearly he made a lot on his already owned stock last year. He could cash it out and hit the beach for all he would care… but he wants to better Apple, and is basically working and running the company for free at this point (although again making the company strong betters his share price.)
That is worth something isn't? While it is hard to pat someone on the back who is working for free when they have billions, the reality is still the same… he devotes his time and energy to a company when he doesn't "need" too, and for that it is newsworthy… and noble.
Posted by canyonblue737 on March 15, 2005 at 4:40 PM (CST)
Canyon is right. This isn't a statement on Steve's financial well-being, but a statement of his commitment to Apple.
Some CEOs keep hauling in huge salaries when they clearly don't need to, but Steve is about Apple.
Posted by earthsick on March 15, 2005 at 5:50 PM (CST)
What about minimum wage?
Posted by TennBikeBerk on March 15, 2005 at 6:03 PM (CST)
RE: "he has millions"
just to clarify—steve jobs has billions, not millions, and has made the list as one of the 200 richest billionaires in the world. his $1 yearly salary is a purely symbolic gesture.
Posted by petro on March 15, 2005 at 6:48 PM (CST)
he earns his 'apple wealth' purely from the performance of apple, which, as has already been mentioned, shows how he perceives a CEO should be rewarded. it's an interesting idea that maybe other CEOs or company should look at regardless of anyone's opinions on his personal wealth
Posted by yinyang on March 15, 2005 at 6:50 PM (CST)
Who effin cares if he took a dollar-or how much money he makes, what's it to you? He was instrumental in bringing to market some of the more innovative products in the last 20 years.
He has turned around Apple and brought it back to the forefront of computing-so for those of you who gripe and moan about how much he makes, or how he inst a "martyr" you should check yourselves.
IMO of course.

Hurray I technically make more than Steve Jobs, drinks for everyone!!
Posted by Zer0cool in Cold City AntArctica on March 15, 2005 at 9:02 PM (CST)
I stand by my martry statement, Voyuer!
He shouldn't get a "pat on the back" for taking a buck! He's making BILLIONS on the performance of Apple. He's BILLIONS are tied to the perfomrance of the company, as duely noted by an above poster, so if he DOESN'T want to be on welfare due to Apple's stock plummeting he HAS TO WORK HARD! I give him a thumbs-up for not being a typical vampiric CEO like 99.9999% of his bretheren, but that doesn't mean the man is workin' for FREE! Buck or no buck included!
He's worried about his own pocketbook just as much as the next CEO just not as overt about it. I mean, if he didn't give a crap about money, he'd donate all those MILLIONS/BILLIONS in stock to charity once he's taken out a living wage. I mean, I don't want the guy to starve or anything, but come on. The man is lining his pockets and his coffers and don't you ever forget that.
Posted by FallN in New York, NY on March 15, 2005 at 9:35 PM (CST)
Hi, y'all. New here.
I think y'all are forgetting something about Jobs—his EGO.
Yes, you'd expect that he wants Apple to do well so he can continue to be a billionaire, BUT IMHO, it's more about ego than $$$ at this point for him.

When we are at ease, the diaphragm is the primary engine of the breath.
As we inhale, this domelike muscle descends toward the abdomen,
displacing the abdominal muscles and gently swelling the belly. As we
exhale, the diaphragm releases back toward the heart, enabling the
belly to release toward the spine.
KEEP THE UPPER BODY QUIET. During
high-stress times, it's common to heave the upper chest and grip the
muscles in the shoulders and throat. When we're at rest, the muscles of
the upper chest remain soft and relaxed as we breathe, and the real
work occurs in the lower rib cage. To promote this type of breathing
pattern, consciously relax the jaw, throat, neck, and shoulders, and
envision the breath sweeping into the deepest parts of the lungs as you
breathe in and out.
BREATHE EASY. Although some breaths
may be deeper or faster than others, when we're relaxed, the
alternating rhythm of the inhalations and exhalations feels like a
lullaby—smooth, soft, and uninterrupted by jerks and jags. Consciously
relaxing into this wavelike, oceanic quality of the breath deepens our
sense of peace and ease.
LENGTHEN THE EXHALATIONS. When we
feel stressed, our exhalations tend to grow short and choppy. When
we're relaxed, though, the exhalations extend so completely that they
are often longer than the inhalations. Some teachers even instruct that
if we're deeply relaxed, each exhalation will be twice as long as the
inhalation. To facilitate this, try gently extending each exhalation by
one or two seconds.
PAUSE AFTER EACH EXHALATION. In our
most relaxed state, the end of each exhalation is punctuated by a short
pause. Lingering in this sweet spot can be deeply satisfying and can
evoke feelings of profound quiet and stillness.
LET THE WHOLE BODY BREATHE. When we
are at ease, the whole body participates in the breathing process.
Imagine a sleeping baby: When he breathes in and out, the belly swells
and releases, the hips rock to and fro, the shoulders bob, and the
spine gently undulates. This offers a mini-massage for the muscles and
organs of the whole body, and turns each breath into a soothing melody
that further calms and quiets every cell within.

Why Anne Richter chose Indian Shores
Our family has enjoyed the beautiful beaches of Indian Shores for many years. As a golfing family we appreciate the variety of courses in the area. Sand Castle I is a perfect location on and off the beach.
What makes this condo unique
Convienently located between Clearwater and St. Pete. Close to spring training camps.....Disney and Busch Gardens. Wonderful restaurants nearby....The beach trolley (free) stops right across the street.
Guestbook comments from the owner
This is a great place to stay, so close to the beach you can hear the waves! Lovely beach which we walked or sat on every day of our week long stay. Pool was equally nice and well maintained. The condo is very well furnished and we could not find any faults with it at all. Handy for the airport, Busch Gdns and even Orlando for theme parks. Relatively quiet location with not a great deal around it, although that is part of the charm, so you need the car in the evenings. "The Pub" opposite was ok, as was the local pizza takeaway place (Slyce). Go to the Salt Rock Grill for great food, also St John's Pass or Clearwater for local shops. We would definitely recommend this place to stay and didn't want to leave when it was time to leave the sunshine behind!

Wow, £23,495 !!! Jesus bikes have gone up in doller. When i first saw the pics of the Tricolore i was thinking 'maybe' but i can't justify trading in my Bigbang 09 R1 and maybe have to give £ 15,000 on top. How do they justify £7,000 incrise from base model to Tricolore, H'mmm. It won't be happening but it is a lovely thing. Maybe i will wait until the Italian economy crashes and they be selling them off for £ 9999 hopefully.

There will always be the "posers" who live in THE neighborhood or drive THE Bimmer, or have to have the S model, but the bottom line is that if you're a biker, something about a particular bike hits you in the gut and you have to have it.

I understand the things and love to watch racing be it Motogp or Superbike and greatly admire the skills of Stoner, Rossi, Lorenzo and Biaggi etc. To me that's where these things belong, on the track. Race rep wannabe's thrashing the things on the road are what gives bikers a bad name now that the Hells Angels association has finally been consigned to history(maybe).
Can't understand either the arguments about how it looks either, paint a ZX10 red and put that picture in the article and you couldn't tell the difference. All bikes wrapped in plastic look the same, they're just different colours and oh yes the mirrors are ugly aren't they, pah. I want a bike to show it's engineering, something Brunellian, steam punk whatever you want to call it. Roland Sands designs and builds such things of articulate beauty, we all want one if we're honest so why on earth can't the factories come up with such things, after all it's merely esthetics and custom builders are doing it in sheds all over the world. I ride a mildly customised 1988 Vmax, fast as I ever need to go and looks the bollox, wonderful machine and esthetically different to anything else. It's me and it's mine and I'm not anyone else and have no desire whatever to fit in and be like anyone else or to shove down anyones throat that what I have is top notch expensive and better than yours. It's just mine.
As for Ducati taking engineering to another level, I would argue that they are merely taking an existing old design as far as they can take it. That ultra short stroke 90 degree Vtwin is going to be right on the edge as far as performance and reliability are concerned, and that ally monocoque front end has been trashed in Motogp and a lot of riders are going to be scared by it. they shouldn't be as they won't be riding the thing on Bridgestone's Motogp control tyre and taking it nowhere near the edge, so it will handle just fine, as it will for Carlos Checa as he's a better rider and he'll be on Pirelli's.
We've had the 24 page pull out, next it'll be Neevsey telling us just how fantastic it is, how it does everything better than anything else while it gets hammered by the S1000RR in the comparison tests, doesn't want to spoil his chances of future invitations to road test Ducati's new wonder machines rather than tell it like it is. BobLeDuc is right, it's in the gut man, but I want something to show that it's been engineered, not injection moulded. I still have that genetic memory, link to my stone tool making ancestors who first tamed and rode horses because that's where my connection to bikes comes from.

Hey everyone, I'm in the process of brew my first batch of beer. I stuck with a pretty simple kit for my first run. (http://www.brewerylane.com/beer/brewhouse.html) I chose the Pale Ale. Just wondering if anyone has some pointers they would like to share. I'm 2 days into my primary, hoping to rack around the 4th or 5th day to my secondary( 6.5 gal glass carboy). Directions say 3-5. Is it a problem if my primary isn't air tight? It's a food grade pale that came with my equipment, but it does not have a air tight seal. I placed a Sheet of wood over the lid with some weight on top to hopefully create a better seal, but its definitely not air tight. Any suggestions or pointers on any of my past steps or future steps are greatly appreciated!
First off, it is absolutely unnecessary to transfer to secondary and I'd recommend you simply leave it in primary for 14-21 days before bottling. This has become very common practice among many of us who have been up to this for awhile, to the point it is probably the norm nowadays.
Regarding the not so air tight bucket... you'll be fine. However, it's likely the lid will actually create an air tight seal, you'll just have to manhandle it the first time. I've got some buckets that actually required the use of a rubber mallet, but after the first time, they whipped into shape and seal up nicely now.
I agree with Brulosopher. You don't need to do anything to it until bottling day. But I'm a little more concerned than he is about your bucket. Have gotten an infection in my brew that cost me several batches before I got it sorted out, so I'm easily spooked by things like you described.
First thing I would do is leave it alone as long as you can. The co2 given off by the fermentation will crowd out any oxygen laying on your beer and also create a slight positive flow out of the bucket. This should help keep any nasties from getting in. (Unless you want to try making a lambic on your first batch.). When you do lift your block of wood off I would lift it carefully to make sure you don't get any debris (fungus spores) on the lid then give the surface a nice spray of StarSan from a spray bottle. Soak a paper towel in StarSan and cover any opening in the lid. Don't let anything drip into that unsealed hole. Once that lid is off you should be fine.
Beer ----
--- the reason I wake up every afternoon.
[QUOTE="Puddlethumper"]I agree with Brulosopher. You don't need to do anything to it until bottling day. But I'm a little more concerned than he is about your bucket. Have gotten an infection in my brew that cost me several batches before I got it sorted out, so I'm easily spooked by things like you described.
Oops. Misread your post. No openings in the lid so no issue there. Sorry. Still that wood block has fungus spores all over it (I'm in the wood decay business) and wouldn't want it anywhere near my beer. A good spray of StarSan over and around the lid before you open things up should clean it up fine.
leave it in primary for at least 3 weeks, no need to secondary. You dont want to secondary a 5 gallon batch in a 6.5 gallon carboy anyway because of to much head space. Brew up another batch and stick it in the carboy to ferment. Get that pipeline going!!
Brew On!
Never rack until the beer has reach final gravity (which it will not have done on the 4th day) and you probably shouldn't rack it at all. You can dry hop right in the primary when all yeast activity seems to have ceased, probably on about day 14. Here is a good explanation on the yeasts activity.http://www.brewgeeks.com/the-life-cycle-of-yeast.html
Use your hydrometer to determine when the yeast is done, not the airlock.
You would be better to leave the wood off your bucket. There are a few people who actually do open fermentations without any trouble. As long as you aren't next to a fan or register where there are moving air currents the CO2 should form a nice protective layer over your beer. Placing a piece of wood over your fermenter is a recipe for disaster though.
Thanks for all the feedback. Does anyone think I could ruin my batch if I don't follow their instructions? Also I was wondering if a lot of you are saying that you bottle straight from your primary? From my research I kinda assumed secondary was necessary for a clear clean beer?
You can bottle without having used a secondary fermenter/conditioning vessel. However, you would still likely want to use a bottling bucket to mix your beer with priming sugar before transfering to bottles.
I rack 1 time only. To the bottling bucket on top of my priming solution. Great clear beer.
edit: maybe I should have said "clean" beer

Enjoy your next trip.
Also, I think he is feeling a bit, should I say jealous, as India is in the news due to its development spree, which of course we have achieved in 61 years. So I would like to tell him, just relax Sammy boy, we can handle our so-called mindset. We are here to earn some extra moolah ...and so are you.
So it is a matter of a pot calling the kettle black. With the given political scenario, we have the opportunity to progress each second. We haven't become complacent and unlike some other nations that ignore their own devaluing morals we do not interfere in the affairs of others.
Next time when you write just remember we are proud to be Indians and proud and blessed to be in Bahrain... a lovely nation which can tolerate expats like yourself. Hope you enjoy your next trip to India.

Experienced Duo Join on Dual Reg
Hunslet Hawks can confirm the arrival of Leeds Rhinos duo Kylie Leuluai and Richard Moore on dual registration.
Both props were not included in Brian McDermott's 19 man squad for last Friday's season opening win over Hull FC and will now join up with Barry Eaton's squad ahead of our trip to Leigh this weekend. They will join Liam Hood at the club however Jimmy Keinhorst has been recalled to the Rhinos this week.
The young German international scored two tries on his Hunslet debut last Sunday in our win over Barrow and has been called back to the Rhinos following the ankle injury suffered by winger Joe Vickery in the Hull game.
Commenting on the arrangement Leeds Rhinos Head Coach Brian McDermott said, "Both Kylie and Richard have had very little game time so far this season after operations in the close season and they will not be in contention for Sunday's game at Castleford. The dual registration process allows them to join up with a confident Hunslet squad after their great win over Barrow last week and in return we are able to bring Jimmy Keinhorst ready to go after his run out last week."
Director of Rugby Darren Williams said "As part of the partnership its pleasing from my point of view that Jimmy Keinhorst has earned a recall to the Rhinos first time squad through the Leeds injury list and his form last Sunday on debut for us. Obviously this now opens the door for one of our squad to fill his shoes and were delighted to welcome Kylie and Richard into our squad for what will be a tough fixture at Leigh on Sunday and indeed the challenges ahead."

Let the back-to-school shopping begin!
Wow, everything from erasers to three colors of ink pens, from scissors to notebooks are on the list. Don't forget a box of Kleenex for the classroom and an apple for the teacher.

Unfiltered takes on politics, ideas and culture from Nation editors and contributors.
In Connecticut today, a statewide interfaith network of religious leaders--Reclaiming the Prophetic Voice-- working with with the National Religious Campaign Against Torture, is calling on the state's Congressional delegation to take a firm stand against weakening the United States' commitment to Article 3 of the Geneva Conventions.
"Nothing less than the soul of our nation is at stake," said the Reverend Allie Perry, "not to mention the rule of law."
Senator Joe Lieberman--who might soon join forces with the Decider to serve as his official sidekick, the Moral Equivocator--has seized the opportunity to (somewhat) oppose President Bush's torture proposal. "I think McCain's got it right," said Lieberman. "I think we're probably in agreement in about 90 percent on how we should treat them."
But what Jolting Joe can't cut and run from--as Jeremy Brecher and Brendan Smith point out in their recent article on The Nation.com--are his votes to strip Guantánamo captives of the right to habeas corpus, and to confirm Alberto Gonzales as Attorney General, essentially endorsing Gonzales' infamous torture memo.
If Lieberman sees supporting the Warner/McCain/Graham bill as a way to take an election year stand against Bush while posing as protector of our historical international obligations, he is dead wrong. As J. Wells Dixon of the Center for Constitutional Rights said, "The Administration and Warner bills...would authorize the life-long detention of more than 450 men who have been imprisoned in Guantánamo for nearly five years without ever having been charged with an offense or receiving a fair hearing. This is unconscionable. Every person detained by our nation must receive a fair hearing--one that does not rely on secret evidence or evidence obtained by torture or coercion--because fairness and due process are what America stands for."
In Connecticut, and across the nation, as candidates are forced to take a stand on such issues as torture, habeas corpus, and the separation of powers, we will learn who represents our finest traditions, and who would settle for a poor imitation which will further erode our historical role as a beacon for human rights.

The invention concerns a device comprising a glove (G) adapted to be worn on the user's hand. The glove is equipped with several sensors connected to a printed circuit connected to an electronic interface (IE) designed to format and transform electronic signals into MIDI signals, said interface being connected to the soundboard (BS). The glove (G) is designed to interact with a tabor (T) held in the user's other hand. The tabor surface (T) acts on the sensors. The invention is useful for reducing sound nuisance of certain concert instruments and enhance scenic effect.
1. A device for controlling an electronic musical instrument, this device comprising a glove or similar capable of being worn on a user's first hand and comprising several sensors (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7) arranged on the fingers on the palm side and possibly on the palm itself, said sensors (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6,7) being at least indirectly connected to an electronic interface (IE) capable of formatting and converting electrical signals into standardized signals such as �MIDI� signals, said interface (IE) being connected to the electronic musical instrument; and an instrument of the tabor type (T) having at least one contact area (TA) intended to influence the sensors of the glove,
characterized in that the tabor (T) is adapted to be held in the user's second hand.

[0001] The invention relates to the technical sector of musical instruments and ensembles.
[0002] If consideration is given to respect of the environment with regard to sound nuisance, it would appear that many groups of musicians, who play electrical instruments more particularly, increasingly encounter difficulty in playing in public or private places such as bars. In fact these various electrical instruments: guitars, basses, keyboards, drum kits, etc., generate relatively high noise. This is particularly the case for the drum kit which, moreover, can only be managed with great difficulty in terms of acoustics. In fact, although it is possible to reduce the power of a guitar or of a keyboard, by means of a simple potentiometer, this is not the case with a drum kit.
[0003] Taking account of this problem and of the regulations in force regarding sound nuisance, many musicians are consequently using �acoustic� guitars and traditional instruments and voices, amplified by small �amps�. Although it can be considered that the problem relating to noise is solved under these conditions, it is however to the detriment of the musical rhythm provided by a drum kit.
[0004] For this reason the use of rhythm boxes pre-programmed for each piece of music has been proposed. These rhythm boxes have the advantage of producing sounds very similar to those of genuine drum kits, with the possibility of adjusting their general volume at will. However, by definition these boxes impose a rhythm to which the musicians must adapt. In other words, the musicians are not totally free to adapt their repertoire to the preference of their audience for example.
[0005] Finally, so-called �electronic� drum kits are known. These require a large amount of space and the virtual necessity of calling upon a real drummer to play them.
[0006] The documents DE 40 15 323 A1, GB 2 221 557 A, GB 2 231 191 A, EP 0 322 825 A2, U.S. Pat. No. 4,920,848 A describe gloves equipped with sensors for controlling sounds or rhythms according to the movements of the hand. DE 35 18 810 A1 describes the use of two such gloves, one on each hand, for striking an influence surface in the form of a table. When a finger hits the surface, the contact provided on the finger of the glove is influenced and triggers a musical event. This device is reliable but it is bulky and its use results in a frozen show or scenecraft, the musician being seated in front of the influence surface in the form of a table.
[0007] The purpose of the invention is to overcome these drawbacks in a simple, reliable, efficient and rational manner.
[0008] The problem that the invention proposes to solve is to be able to control a sound box of the rhythm box, keyboard, sampler, etc. type with the possibility of acting in real time on the rhythm and adapting the latter to the music.
[0009] Another problem that the invention proposes to solve is to propose a system requiring minimal space.
[0010] Yet another problem is to propose a system that is particularly attractive from the scenecraft point of view, that is to say from the point of view of the visual spectacle able to be offered to the spectator.
[0011] In order to solve these problems, a device has been designed and developed for controlling an electronic musical instrument, this device comprising a glove or similar capable of being worn on a user's first hand and comprising several sensors on the fingers on the palm side and possibly on the palm itself, said sensors being connected at least indirectly to an electronic interface capable of formatting and converting electrical signals into standardized signals such as �MIDI� signals, said interface being connected to the electronic musical instrument; and an instrument of the tabor type having at least one contact area intended to influence the sensors of the glove, characterized in that the tabor is adapted to be held in the user's second hand.
[0012] Without by so doing departing from the scope of the invention, the sensor or sensors may be mounted on types of supports other than a glove and capable of being worn on the user's hand.
[0013] In order to solve the problem of being able to create different sounds directly with the hand, the sensors are arranged at the ends of the fingers in question on the palm facing side and on the palm itself.
[0014] In order to solve the problem of being able visually to check which sensor or sensors are activated, these sensors are coupled with luminous indication means in the form, for example, of light-emitting diodes.
[0015] In order to solve the problem of ensuring the formatting and conversion of the electrical signals into �MIDI� signals, the electronic interface comprises analogue gates contained in integrated circuits of the CD4066 type, each said gate being connected to a desired musical note.
[0016] In order to solve the problem of creating musical sounds at will, the sound box consists of an electronic instrument equipped with a �MIDI� connector for allocating a sound or the triggering of a sequence for each sensor, the output of the said sound box being connected to a sound system. Preferably, the output of the box is connected to the sound system via the electronic interface, in which the sound volume is adjusted under the control of a potentiometer provided on the tabor.
[0017] In one embodiment, in order to make the sensors particularly sensitive to the touch, the electronic interface is coupled with an instrument of the tabor type having at least one metal area intended to be acted upon by one or more sensors of the glove, said metal area being connected to the positive pole of a power supply. In this case, and in the following text, the word �coupled� signifies �connected in order to receive a command from�.
[0018] In order to solve the problem of obtaining pre-recorded sounds, the instrument of the tabor type is equipped with control devices such as switches and/or potentiometers for selecting and/or modifying sounds. This version of the invention is particularly ergonomic. At the same time that he strikes the tabor using his first gloved hand, the user selects the sounds, sound levels, etc., using the fingers of his hand holding the tabor, or by striking his body with one side of the tabor where control devices are located, in particular a push-button.
[0019] The electronic interface may also be coupled to a pedal for feeding or not feeding at least one analogue gate at will.
[0020] The invention is described below in greater detail with reference to the appended figures in which:
[0021]FIG. 1 is a block diagram of the functional principle of the device according to the invention;
[0022]FIG. 2 is a top view of the glove according to the invention;
[0023]FIG. 3 is a view of the glove seen from the palm side;
[0024]FIG. 4 is an example embodiment of the printed circuit that the glove has;
[0025]FIG. 5 is a block diagram of the electronic interface;
[0026]FIG. 6 is a block diagram of the analogue gates;
[0027]FIG. 7 is a view, of purely diagrammatic nature, of an embodiment of a control pedal, capable of controlling the electronic interface;
[0028]FIG. 8 shows an example embodiment of an instrument of the tabor type intended to be acted upon by the sensor or sensors.
[0029] As shown in the block diagram of FIG. 1, the control device comprises at least one glove (G) capable of being worn on the user's hand. This glove (G) is made from any material that is known and appropriate and is not a conductor of electricity.
[0030] According to an important feature (see FIGS. 2 and 3),the glove (G) is equipped with several sensors (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7) connected to a printed circuit (CI). The sensors may possibly be mounted on types of supports other than a glove and capable of being worn on the user's hand.
[0031] The integrated circuit of the glove is connected to an electronic interface (IE) capable of formatting and converting electrical signals into �MIDI� signals. It is recalled that the term �MIDI� is an expression perfectly known, to those skilled in the art, in the field of electronic instruments and signifies �Musical Interface Digital Instrument� corresponding to an international standard for sending digital codes allowing all types of electronic instruments connected with each other by a connector to exchange different types of information (musical notes, tempo, start, stop, etc).
[0032] The electronic interface (IE) is therefore connected to the MIDI connector of a sound box (BS) controlled by means of the glove, as will be described in the continuation of the description. This sound box (BS) can be constituted by all types of electronic instruments equipped with a MIDI connector. Among these instruments may be mentioned, in a way that is in no way restrictive, expanders, rhythm boxes, samplers, keyboards, etc.
[0033] The various sensors (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7) are arranged at the ends of the fingers in question on the palm side and also on the palm itself. For example, sensor (1) corresponds to the thumb, sensor 2 to the index finger, sensor (3) to the middle finger, sensor (4) to the ring finger, sensor (5) to the little finger and sensor (6) to the part of the palm situated next to the little finger. The various sensors consist, for example, of metal plates connected to the integrated circuit (CI) which can be fixed to the top of the glove or can be integrated inside the latter.
[0034] Similarly, the fixing of the sensors (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7) at the previously mentioned locations can be carried out by any known and appropriate means.
[0035] The production of the sensors in the form of metal plates must not be considered as limitative. Preferably, all types of dynamic sensors that are sensitive to touch will be used. Advantageously, in order to indicate the activation or non-activation of the various sensors (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7), each of them is mounted in combination with luminous indication means consisting, for example, of light emitting diodes (D).
[0036] In the electrical circuit diagram given in FIG. 4 showing an example embodiment of the printed circuit (CI) of the glove, the references (A, B, C, D, E and F) refer to the various outputs corresponding to the various sensors (1, 2, 3, 4, 5 ,6 ,7), it being noted that the sensors (2 and 3) feed a common output (B).
[0037] The connection between the printed circuit (CI), particularly with respect to the various outputs (A, B, C, D, E, F) and the corresponding inputs of the electronic interface (IE), is carried out by any type of connector (DB).
[0038] The electronic interface (IE) comprises, for each input (A, B, C, D, E, F), that is to say for each electrical contact corresponding to a desired note, analogue gates contained in an integrated circuit of the CD4066 type for example. The reference (PA) denotes these various gates. FIG. 6 shows an example, that is in no way limitative, of the electrical circuit of these analogue gates. (R) denotes the various control relays. The various analogue gates are therefore controlled by the sensors (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7) of the glove.
[0039] The electronic interface (IE) is coupled with an instrument of the tabor type (T) having at least one metal area (TA) intended to be acted upon by all or some of the various sensors (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7) with which the glove (G) is equipped. This metal area is connected to the positive pole of a power supply, a 12 volt one in particular.
[0040] This tabor (T), by means of its metal area (TA), increases the sensitivity of the sensors in order to control the corresponding analogue gates instantaneously. The tabor (T) can furthermore be equipped with switches and/or potentiometers in order to select and/or modify the sounds. For example, the tabor (T) is equipped with switches and/or with push-buttons (I1, I2, I3) (BP1, BP2), and possibly with a potentiometer (PO) for controlling the volume. Certain elements can be accessible with the thumb or index finger of the hand holding the tabor, or in the case of a push-button such as (BP1), when the tabor is struck against a part of the player's body, for example the thigh, in such a way as to push in the button (BP1).
[0041] The potentiometer (PO) of the tabor (T) is connected to the interface (IE). The output (SBS) of the sound box (BS) is connected to an audio output (SA) via the interface (IE) in which the sound volume is adjusted according to the setting of the potentiometer (PO).
[0042] It should also be noted that the device can make use of a pedal (P) capable of occupying two positions (P1 and P2). In the same way as the tabor (T), the pedal (P) is coupled with the electronic interface (IE) in order to feed or not to feed at least one analogue gate, at will.
[0043] By way of illustration, that is in no way limitative, the functions that some elements of the device can perform are described below, considering the sensors (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7) of the glove (G), the tabor (T) and the pedal (P), in order to control the sound box (BS) at will via the electronic interface (IE).
[0044] The switch (I1) makes it possible to select either a drum kit or a percussion kit or, more generally, to activate the various analogue gates in order to obtain different sounds.
[0045] Thus, considering the instruments of the drum kit and the percussion instruments, the sensor (1), corresponding to the thumb, can control a bass drum or bongo.
[0046] The sensors (2, 3) corresponding to the index finger and the middle finger, can control a side drum and another bongo.
[0047] The sensor (4) corresponding to the ring finger, can control a tom-tom 1 and another bongo.
[0048] The sensor (5), corresponding to the little finger, can control a �crash� cymbal and a bongo.
[0049] The sensor (6), corresponding to the palm, can control a tom-tom 2.
[0050] The sensor (7), corresponding to the other palm, can control a �splash� cymbal.
[0051] The pedal in position (P1) can control a Charleston cymbal and a stacker or a �Ride� cymbal. The position (P2) of this pedal can control a drum kit of the open Charleston type and a tabla.
[0052] The push-button (BP1) can control the tabor directly. It should be noted that the switch (I2) switches the pedal between the two modes (P1) and (P2). According to the mode (P1), the sound is triggered only when the pedal is pressed, whereas, according to the mode (P2), the sound is triggered when the pedal is pressed and when it is released.
[0053] The switch (I3) selects the sound allocated to the pedal.
[0054] The push-button (BP2) makes it possible to trigger another sound that adds to the one obtained by the sensors (2) and (3) when the latter are acted upon.
[0055] It is recalled that the �line out� output (SBS) (FIG. 1) of the sound box (BS) is connected to any sound system via a volume control system (CV) coupled to the potentiometer (PO) and accommodated in the interface (IE).
[0056] Starting from this basic concept of the device as defined, the latter can of course advantageously be completed or modified by the following devices:
[0057] integration of dynamic touch sensors,
[0058] control of a �light show� system using an interface,
[0059] addition of several drum and percussion kits,
[0060] addition of additional sensors.
[0061] The interface (IE) can furthermore be accommodated in the tabor (T).
