Another alternative embodiment includes a superior carpal tunnel syndrome therapy device. The system also includes novel battery chargers: (1) window-mounted, solar-powered; (2) mounted in an automobile that also includes an improved odometer, license plate, and cabin air filtration system.

Disclosed is a guitar effects controller comprising a digital compass and means for converting directional degree information to signal effect level values. Alternate embodiments provide different sensors, e.g., GPS receiver or tilt sensor. The invention allows user control of instrument volume or other signal effects by turning, tilting, or otherwise manipulating the guitar. Also disclosed is a user configuration system whereby an effects controller can be configured using RF or infrared technology, RFID tags, the Internet, and other tools. Controller function is enhanced by a multipurpose guitar docking station and case. Also disclosed is a universal music exchange medium to facilitate the rapid configuration of system components.

Apparatus and method are described for controlling aspects of a users life to provide additional safety, efficiency, and comfort. A clock is described allowing a user to readily track the time spent according to a plurality of tasks, and switch between tasks with a single action. A tweezers is described which provides user feedback on the interposition of objects within the head and which can optionally be configured to provide automatic tweezing. A belt buckle is described which contains an expanding element for use with non-stretchy belt material, such as forms of leather. A necktie is described which increases user safety by including one or more tension release joints to allow the tie easily break apart and separate from the neck of the wearer in response to a sufficient tension force.

A timepiece adapted for efficient mechanical display of time and date according to a condensed Braille number format, the timepiece including a Braille actuation mechanism comprising a plurality of servo motors, translational pins, and similar components. The timepiece is adapted to display time (hour:minute), and date (month:day) using Braille character cells in accordance with a condensed Braille format. Additionally, the timepiece is adapted for scrollable Braille representations such that a user can set the time, date, and an optional alarm. Certain methods for providing a Braille display of numeric information are further disclosed.
