	Minor third - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		An augmented second is enharmonically equivalent to a minor third in equal temperament, but is not the same interval in other meantone tunings.
		Augmented seconds occur in many scales, most importantly the harmonic minor and its various modes.
		In harmonic minor scales, the augmented second occurs between the sixth and seventh scale degrees.

	Augmented Reality Home Pages - Introduction
		Augmented reality can be applied so that the surgical team can see the CT or MRI data correctly registered on the patient in the operating theater while the procedure is progressing.
		Augmented reality systems are expected to run in real-time so that a user will be able to move about freely within the scene and see a properly rendered augmented image.
		The U of R augmented reality system requires no a priori metric information about the intrinsic and extrinsic parameters of the camera, where the user is located in the world or the position of objects in the world.

	Interval (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		So the second step to naming an interval is to classify it based on the number of half steps in the interval.
		Listen to the augmented prime, diminished second, augmented third, diminished sixth, augmented seventh, diminished octave, augmented fourth, and diminished fifth.
		The inversion of an augmented interval is diminished and of a diminished interval is augmented.

	Polish Music Journal 4.2.01 - Konieczna: Style and Drama in Paderewski's Manru.
		Despite the fact that Gypsies appear in the action of this opera only at the end of the second act (with the exception of Manru, of course), the presence of the augmented second in the melody from the beginning marks the ethnic distinction of the Gypsies and their alienation from the Polish villagers.
		Therefore, the augmented second may also be heard when the ethnic difference of the Gypsies is the subject of lament, mockery, satire, and imitation by the village populace.
		Augmented triads are dissonant and consist of two major thirds; they are among the harmonic means used to characterize supernatural elements in the opera, along with diminished tetrachords (used in the early 19th century) and octatonic scales (used in the late 19th century, especially by Rimsky-Korsakov).

	Augmented Sixth Chords
		Although augmented sixth chords do not share all the properties of their subdominant counterparts they do share one very important function: they are dominant preparations.
		More precisely, augmented sixth chords are leading tone or chromatic preparations of V. However, since the interval of the augmented 6th (unlike the tritone), does not determine any particular key, the chord of resolution does not sound like a tonic.
		Although augmented sixth chords are in general derived from the subdominant, they are in particular derived from a specific subdominant function, the Phrygian cadence.

	Semitone - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Often a distinction is made between a diatonic semitone (notated as a minor second), and a chromatic semitone (as an augmented unison).
		Augmented unisons often appear as a consequence of secondary dominants, such as those in the soprano voice of this sequence from Felix Mendelssohn's Song Without Words Op.
		Melodically, an augmented unison very frequently occurs when proceeding to a chromatic chord, such as a secondary dominant, a diminished seventh chord, or an augmented sixth chord.

	Howstuffworks "How Augmented Reality Will Work"
		Augmented reality is far more advanced than any technology you've seen in television broadcasts, although early versions of augmented reality are starting to appear in televised races and football games, such as Racef/x and the super-imposed first down line, both created by SporTVision.
		Augmented reality is still in an early stage of research and development at various universities and high-tech companies.
		This is a more simple form of augmented reality, since the system only has to know where the user is in reference to the object that he or she is looking at.

		The third mode of the melodic minor scale is known as the lydian augmented scale.
		In A melodic minor, a lydian augmented scale is built on C and consists of "C, D, E, F#, G#, A, B".
		Since the second step of the locrian mode is an avoid note over a m7b5 chord, the locrian #2 scale is often used instead.

	Intervals
		This means that the interval of a ninth is equivalent to the interval of a second, displaced by an octave.
		This means that C-D sharp is some kind of second, even though the interval may not sound like a second, while the interval between the same actual keys on the keyboard, respelled C-E flat, is considered a third.
		A second is the interval between adjacent letters like A-B (remember that by convention B-A would be a seventh because it is an ascending interval, B as the lower note).

	Sonic Glossary: Second
		The major second is still dissonant when played simultaneously [Example 5], but the dissonance is not quite so intense as that of the minor second.
		There are two other kinds of second: the diminished second, which sounds the same as a unison; and the augmented second, which sounds the same as a minor third.
		Note: Having learned about the second, you may want also to consult the definition of the Seventh, since the seventh is closely related to the second (they are in fact the inverse of one another), and the two behave quite similarly.

	Augmented Sixth Chord Tutorial
		The leading tone ascends a minor second to the tonic in the Clausula Vera cadence and the lowered second scale step descends a minor second to the tonic in the Phrygian cadence.
		Later composers chose to use the augmented sixth resolution to V instead of I, because as theory progressed, the ornamentation or strengthening of the chords that resolved to V became preferred over the ornamentation or strengthening of the sonorities that resolved to tonic.
		Each of the three augmented sixth chords begins with determining the two leading tones to the dominant (the sharp-4th scale degree and the flat-6th scale degree).

	Chromatic Chords
		Augmented sixth chords derive from a common cadence in the minor mode - the "Phrygian" cadence, which consists of IV6 - V. Like the "borrowed" chords discussed above, they arise from an expanded scalar resource: here the leading tone belonging to the dominant.
		The characteristic interval of the augmented 6th is formed between the bottom note of the IV6 (^6 in minor) and this new note that is a semitone below ^5.
		Although the origin of the augmented sixth chords is in the minor mode, they are used freely in major in the 19th century.

	Augmented Reality in Architectural Construction, Inspection, and Renovation
		Augmented reality systems also track users in space, so that visual information provided by them can be tied to the physical environment.
		Our augmented reality construction system is designed to guide workers through the assembly of a spaceframe structure, to improve the probability that each member is properly placed and fastened.
		Inspectors with augmented reality interfaces may be similarly guided through their jobs - allowing them to work without reference to construction drawings and ensuring that every item which needs to be checked is in fact inspected.

	Intervals
		For example: c to d is a second and c to e is a third.
		An interval of the number one or first is called a unison and an interval of the eighth is called an octave.
		For example: d to e-flat is a minor second (one half step) and d to e-natural is a major second (one whole step or two half steps).

	Intervals
		There are two intervals that are missing: the single half-step (a minor second) and the interval of 6 half steps between the P4 and P5 which is called the tritone (because it consists of 3 (tri) whole steps (tones)).
		Just as the pitches are enharmonically related, intervals that contain the same number of half-steps are referred to as enharmonically equivalent intervals.

		Remember, 8 is just tonic an octave higher.) It became common practice to raise the leading tone (seventh scale degree) in order to maintain the quality of the dominant chord, but to leave the sub-mediant (6) where it was because it provides much of the color of the minor mode.
		This created an augmented second between the sixth and seventh scale degrees.
		The final form of the minor scale, the melodic minor, is designed to eliminate that ugly augmented second, while preserving the feel of the minor mode.

	SPACE.com -- Japan Plans Second Test Flight of New Rocket
		The explosion on November 15 of the seventh H 2 rocket marked the second failure in the program, and followed a series of launch delays caused by engine and other technical problems.
		The MDS 1 would be moved to a second test flight of the H 2-A sometime in 2001, depending when the first test flight occurs.
		The second test launch, in addition to providing a ride for the MDS 1 satellite, would "be an additional flight verification of the H 2-A Standard design," NASDA officials said.

		One is the neutral second., which is very flexible, but always noticeably larger than the minor second (half-step) of our western scale, and smaller than the major second (whole-step).
		The other interval peculiar to some of the Persian modes is an interval which is larger than the major second, but not as large as an actual augmented second.
		I am personally very fond of this "E" mode, and find the interval beteen the first and second note at the bottom of its scale to have a pathetic, very poignant tension in the moment before 2 resolves down to 1.
