A music tempo calculation system uses a microphone to input ambient music; the input is then processed in real time to display beats per minute (BPM). Input from the microphone is decomposed by a detector into a plurality of digital signals ranging from a most sensitive signal to a least sensitive signal. A software-implemented algorithm is applied to the time between peak music values to determine tempo. BPM is then output to a display to provide feedback to performing musicians regarding tempo. The sensitivity of the detector adjusts automatically to compensate for changes in music volume. In another embodiment, the calculated tempo is used to control motors used to animate toys. Once BPM is known, the moment of an upcoming beat can be anticipated. It then becomes possible to start, stop, and reverse directions of a motor in anticipation of an upcoming beat thereby providing the appearance the animated toy is responding to music beat.

Encryption key generation in encrypted storage devices
A system and method of generating an encryption key in a self-encrypting mass storage device that includes using a manual input device as input for a micro-controller that contains a cyclic counter. An input device event triggers the micro-controller to read the current state of the cyclic counter. An accumulation of cyclic counter values is used as a source of entropy to seed a deterministic random number generator. The output of the deterministic random number generator is used as an encryption key for encryption/decryption processes within the mass storage device.

A battery power supply with extended shelf-life is composed of a plurality of batteries connected in series with a switching element and voltage booster. The switching element is composed of a transistor in parallel with a passive component that produces a voltage drop when the transistor is off. The voltage booster maintains an output voltage at set value when battery capacity deteriorates. A micro-controller is used to monitor voltage potentials to detect the presence of an external load. When no load is detected, all active components are disabled to conserve energy and avoid self-discharge.
