Segmented satellite stages redistribute excess force between oscillators, preventing shutdown when pendulums operate at different frequencies.
Segmented axle design positions support components away from the axis, reducing axial runout of flat members and minimizing stress on brittle silicon parts.
A planar cylinder index mechanism arranges the star wheel, gear, lever, and spring on a single plane to reduce timepiece thickness.
A silicon wafer method achieves permanent plastic deformation of watch components through high-temperature heat treatment and mechanical stress application.
A smart music device uses conductive translucent ink and force sensor resistors to trigger accurate musical notes via touch.
Automatic accompaniment system monitors human fingering to synchronize tone production with melody performance.
A composition model correlates song notes with lyrics to generate aligned melodies.
A ductile interlayer radially grips a silicon member, preventing breakage during assembly of brittle parts.
