Augmenting the iPad: the BladeAxe
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we present the BladeAxe: an iPad-based musical instrument leveraging the concepts of “augmented mobile device” and “hybrid physical model controller.” By being almost fully standalone, it can be used easily on stage in the frame of a live performance by simply plugging it to a traditional guitar amplifier or to any sound system. Its acoustical plucking system provides the performer with an extended expressive potential compared to a standard controller. After presenting an intermediate version of the BladeAxe, we’ll describe our final design. We will also introduce a similar instrument: the PlateAxe.

Nuance: Adding Multi-touch Force Detection to the Ipad
NUANCE is a new device adding multi-touch force detection to the iPad touch screen. It communicates with the iPad using the audio jack input. Force information is sent at an audio rate using analog amplitude modulation (AM). NUANCE provides a high level of sensitivity and responsiveness by only using analog components. It is very cheap to make. NUANCE has been developed in the context of a larg...
متن کاملA Hybrid Guitar Physical Model Controller: The BladeAxe
The BLADEAXE is a guitar-like controller that uses “real world” audio excitations from six piezoelectric films (one per “string”) to drive a physical model of a guitar on a laptop. The BLADEAXE body is made out of laser cut acrylic sheets and can be easily reproduced. As a fully “plug and play” interface, it can be used on any computer to communicate with our open-source virtual-guitar software.

Background and purpose: The most common cause of diarrhea is Shigella and no vaccine has been found so far. IpaD and STxB proteins (B subunit of Shiga toxin) play an important role in invasion, infection and pathogenesis caused by Shigella. To evaluate the immunogenicity of each of the proteins IpaD and STxB can using of two animal models mice and guinea pigs and could be determined role of eac...
