A blister package with an integrated RFID tag is provided. The conductive lidding material is modified to serve not only to seal some contents within some formed blister film, but also to act as an RFID tag antenna. An electronic circuit is electrically connected to the lidding film antenna. Methods of manufacture which integrate with conventional blister package manufacturing processes are also provided.

Methods and a system for providing electronic musical instruments are disclosed. Through novel combinations of sensor inputs and processing, they allow simulation of acoustic instruments including but not limited to a Trombone, Trumpet, and Saxophone. Sensor inputs are configured to trigger playback and transitioning of sound and control its various attributes alone, or in combination.

A system and methods guide a user toward performing actions. Embodiments include a guidance system for helping a user play a musical instrument, a musical gaming system where users attempt to play music in accordance with the guidance instructions, and other systems or devices requiring particular user inputs. Through novel combinations of sensor inputs and processing, electronic musical instruments allow simulation of acoustic instruments including but not limited to a Trombone, Trumpet, and Saxophone. Sensor inputs are configured to trigger playback and transitioning of sound and control its various attributes alone, or in combination. To guide a user to interact with these and other instruments and devices, indicators are presented on a display. Indicators prompt actions such as touching, blowing, producing sound, shaking, and tilting, or a combination thereof. Indicators can be configured to prepare a user to take an action.
