A reed pipe comprises a metal tongue (the reed) which rests against a shallot, in which is carved a tunnel. The reed and shallot are held in place by a wooden wedge. This assembly protrudes from the underside of the block and hangs down into the boot. A tuning wire is inserted through the boot and is bent to hold the reed against the shallot.
A hand-pumped Indian harmonium, of the type used in South Asia, here used at a European jazz festival.. The pump organ or reed organ is a type of organ using free-reeds that generates sound as air flows past the free-reeds, the vibrating pieces of thin metal in a frame.
A flask containing human cerebral organoids. A neural, or brain organoid, describes an artificially grown, in vitro, tissue resembling parts of the human brain.Neural organoids are created by culturing pluripotent stem cells into a three-dimensional culture that can be maintained for years.
An artificial organ is a human-made organ device or tissue that is implanted or integrated into a human – interfacing with living tissue – to replace a natural organ, to duplicate or augment a specific function or functions so the patient may return to a normal life as soon as possible. [1]
Drawings of the reeds of regals and other reed pipes, as well as of the instrument itself, are given by Praetorius (pl. iv., xxxviii.). The regal may be seen as the ancestor of the harmonium, the reed organ, and the various varieties of "squeezebox" such as the accordion, the concertina, and the Bandoneón.
A brainship is made by inserting the disembodied brain and nervous system or malformed body of a human being into a life-support system, and connecting it surgically to a series of computers via delicate synaptic connections (a brain–computer interface). The brain "feels" the ship (or any other connected peripherals) as part of its own body.
A reed is fixed by one end in a close-fitting frame. The loose end has a slight rising bend. Air depression is applied under the reed; the reed prevents air flow, except for a small, high-velocity flow at the tip. The reed is sucked through the opening, allowing the air to pass. The elasticity of the reed forces it back through the frame.
Vox humana pipes. The vox humana (Latin for "human voice"; also "voz humana" in Spanish and Portuguese, "voix humaine" in French and "voce umana" in Italian, although "voce umana" is also a term for a celeste stop, q.v.) is a short-resonator reed stop on the pipe organ, so named because of its supposed resemblance to the human voice.
