  FAQ about Trade Secret -- Chilling Effects Clearinghouse
For example, unlike trade secrets, patents can be enforced against someone who independently develops or "reverse engineers" an invention.
Also, because patents are published and are made public, they also provide "defensive" protection - by being prior art so that someone else can't obtain patent rights in the invention.
In particular, it is important to consider the nature of the subject matter being protected.

  Reverse tape effects - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Reverse tape effects are special effects created by recording sound onto magnetic tape and then physically reversing the tape so that when the tape is played back, the sounds recorded on it are literally heard in reverse.
Although the ability to reverse the playback of recorded sounds had been known since the early days of gramophone records and can be achieved by simply placing the needle on the record and spinning it counter-clockwise, reverse effects were regarded largely as a curiosity and were little used until the 1950s.
It was not until the advent of magnetic tape in the 1950s and the consequent development of the experimental music genre known as musique concrete that reversed sound effects came into more widespread use as a musical effect.

 HOW GUITAR EFFECTS WORK
So the first distortion “effect” was probably just an overcranked amp, or perhaps a cheap radio or record player that someone hooked their guitar into.
Tape echo units are large and heavy, and due to tape breakage are not very reliable, but as with tube equipment some people like them and still use them.
By slightly slowing one of them with one’s hand on the flange of the tape reel, a small and varying time delay was introduced, and thus was born the flanging effect.

 Encyclopedia: Strawberry Fields Forever
It featured extensive overdubbing, the prominent use of reverse tape effects and tape loops, and extensive audio compression and equalisation.
Tape loops are loops of prerecorded magnetic tape used to create repetitive, rhythmic musical patterns.
The promotional film for the song is now recognised as one of the first and most successful conceptual music videos, featuring reverse film effects, stop motion animation, disconcerting jump cuts from daytime to nighttime and (among other things) the Beatles playing, then pouring paint over and smashing an upright piano.

 Patent 4769722: Apparatus for recording and reproducing a video signal and for recording and reproducing a PCM audio ...
More specifically, when a continuous recording has been effected on the tape, that is, when the bit 3 of the ID data is "1", reversion of the tape traveling direction and change of the channel select signal Ki are automatically effected through the controller 14.
It is therefore unnecessary to discriminate between the tape traveling directions in a reproducing operation, and consequently, it is not necessary to store the tape traveling direction information into the ID signal or the like at the time of recording with respect to the tracks for which the tape traveling direction is fixed.
In the case where a tape on which a recording has been effected by the NTSC system is played back by the digital information recording and reproducing apparatus when operating as a CCIR system video tape recorder, the pilot signal frequency in the reproduced signal takes values such as those shown in Table 1.

 "Encyclopedia of Mental Health: Shyness"
Stimuli such as moving mobiles and tape recordings of human voices trigger an easily arousable sympathetic nervous system that manifests itself in an increased heart rate, jerky and vigorous movements of arms and legs, excessive crying, and urgent signals of distress.
The results are consistent with previous research suggesting that shy people reverse what is known in social psychology as the "self- enhancement bias." Ordinarily, people tend to take credit for success and to externalize failure, or at least attribute it to unstable, specific and controllable factors.
Clinical observation suggests that this effect is related to a loss of motivation related to persistent self-blaming tendencies and self-concept distortions.

Chorusing effects are produced by slightly delaying an input signal and reintroducing it against the original while simultaneously varying the pitch by a small amount.
Over the years there have been many "holy grail" distortion effects, and now it seems that every Guitarist with a soldering iron and a Radio Shack close by are building their own version of what sounds best in the world of fuzz.
The effect was produced by slowing down playback of a recorded track by dragging a finger against the tape-reel "flange" to delay the signal.

 Patent 4309733: Changeover mechanism for the magnetic heads or pinch rollers of an automatic reverse tape recorder
When the tape is taken up to the end, the coil of the electromagnetic solenoid 54 is supplied with power upon receipt of a signal generated by the customary means to denote the detection of the tape end.
However, this invention is obviously applicable to the case, where, with the center head type tape recorder, a pair of pinch rollers set on both sides of a single magnetic head are selectively operated.
The selective operation is effected simply by braking the rotation of the lever gear attached to the first lever upon receipt of a changeover instruction.

 PERFECT ECHO?
The high- and low-cut filters are separately adjustable for the dry signal and the delayed signal, and if you're into emulating tape effects, it's interesting to note that the low cut is almost as important to the authenticity of the result as the high cut.
Bypass can be effected from either the front-panel button of the same name or from an optional footswitch, and may be set up so that the delay is either killed instantly or allowed to run its natural course.
With percussive sounds, the reverse effect is more obvious, as you might expect, and if reversing a tap makes the timing seem odd, you can always edit the tap timing until you get the feel exactly right.

The tape should tighten when standing to demonstrate that it is absorbing some of the tension that would have been in the fascia.
Tape is used to supplement or replace the function of the fascia.
Tape appears to lose most of its effectiveness after less than a day and begins to reek if it gets wet and is left on for days as many doctors recommend.

 Strawberry Fields Forever
Undoubtedly spurred on by the recent, dazzling Beach Boys single "Good Vibrations", "Strawberry Fields Forever" was clearly intended to be the most musically and technically advanced pop record released up to that time.
The number one single at the time was Engelbert Humperdinck's "Release Me".
The superb promotional film for the song is now recorgnised as one of the first and most successful conceptual music videos, featuring reverse film effects, disconcerting jump cuts from daytime to nighttime and (among other things) the Beatles playing, then pouring paint over and smashing an upright piano.

 Nucleus
Birdsong is folded into the music later in the track, gently painting the music in daylight colors, as if the sun was rising with deliberate slowness, tinting the sky in muted shades of violet and blue.
A purer "ambient/spacemusic" vibe is present on "Into the Nth", through the predominance of synths, both as sampled ethereal choruses and as more abstract washes and effects.
This cut may strike some listeners as a variation on a theme by Liquid Mind, as it has some of that same cloud-like "feel", although the music eventually moves into a more pronounced spacemusic vein, as the electronic whooshes and some of the underlying drones are less "warm".

 Line 6 Tonecore Stompboxes
True tape reverse effects require a whole lot more than merely having the volume increase slowly as happens in the Boss Slow Gear and similar pedals.
When tape is reversed, everything about the notes played is backwards, including their order, the location of any finger vibrato and where and when notes are held a little longer.
To truly mimic those aspects of reverse tape, you need to take a sample and literally replay it backwards, not just make the volume swell at the start of a single note or chord.

 Spinal Tap Fan Site: Stylistic Competencies, Musical Humor, and This is Spinal Tap   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
There are some fairly obvious gags in this song: the use of the famous theme to Mozart’s Eine Kleine Nachtmusik at the words “it’s like a Mozart symphony” in verse three produces an obvious interstylistic incongruity (this is, of course, similar to the appearance of the Boccherini minuet in “Heavy Duty,” discussed previously).
The whispered “shhh” after each occurrence of the word “listen” in the text and the phase-shifted “no” after “it’s not too late” are exaggerations of stylistically typical vocal effects.
Pop music is made with the consumer in mind: it is commercially motivated and aims to give the listeners “what they want.” Rock, on the other hand, lays claim to authenticity and sincerity: the musician expresses him- or herself without regard for commercial gain.

 Delia Derbyshire - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ron Grainer was so amazed by her rendition of his original theme that he attempted to get her a co-composer credit, but this was prevented by BBC bureaucracy.
Derbyshire's interpretation of Grainer's theme used electronic oscillators and magnetic audio tape editing (including tape loops and reverse tape effects) to create an eerie and unearthly sound that was quite unlike anything that had been heard before or since.
Derbyshire's original Doctor Who theme is believed to have been the first television theme to be created and produced by entirely electronic means.
