US Patent:

7781653, Aug 24, 2010

Filed:

Aug 30, 2008

Appl. No.:

12/231255

Inventors:

Matthew Damon Reynolds - Houston TX, US

International Classification:

G10D 1/08

US Classification:

84267, 84410

Abstract:

The present invention is a stringed instrument that comprises a circulating element that transmits a stream of liquid through a conduit at a flow rate of 0. 92 meters per second to 1. 58 meters per second. A string that is displaceable along the stream of liquid produces vibrations caused by the interaction between the stream of liquid and the string. A device positioned proximate the string registers vibrations emanating from the string. Interaction between said stream of liquid and said at least one string generate vibrations with frequencies ranging from 220 Hz to 1318 Hz.

Abstract:

The present disclosure provides a semi-analytic inversion method that computes an approximate, sparse representation of the data in terms of the (a, T, T). Methods, in accordance with the present disclosure, compute T's in a semi-analytic fashion, such as by using simultaneous Hankel representation of the data, use one dimensional convex optimization to compute the amplitudes, a, and finally compute Tin an analytic fashion by appropriate averaging techniques. The proposed method provides a more efficient way to represent the data when compared to linearized methods, and is computationally less demanding when compared to some existing nonlinear optimization methods.
