Offline Mass Propers This app is an offline version of the chant tools available at http://bbloomf.github.io/jgabc/ It is mostly intended to be useful for containing the Gregorian Mass propers as well as the Gregorian Mass ordinaries as found in the Liber Usualis, and transcribed on GregoBase (http://gregobase.selapa.net) and there may be some mistakes in the chant. If you notice any, they can be corrected in GregoBase (if you go to http://bbloomf.github.io/jgabc/propers.html and find the chant with the mistake, you can click the link above the chant on the left side to get to the GregoBase version of the chant, and edit it there to fix it, or request that it be fixed.)

Xylorix Inspector is an automated macroscopic wood identification mobile app. Given the 24x magnified anatomical visual information of the cross section (end-grain) of a timber, Xylorix Inspector uses its trained artificial intelligence models to identify the timber genus/species in a few seconds.  This application requires our dedicated WIDK-24X01 illuminated macro-lens attached to the phone cameras to perform the task correctly. WIDK-24X01 can be found here: https://www.xylorix.com/products/widk24x01 NOTE 1. This application does not work on non-magnified wood grain surfaces. 2. A 24x visual magnification lens (WIDK-24X01) is required. 3. Only works on cameras with normal focal length only (26mm - 28mm). 4. The number of timber species that can be identified is limited now but is gradually expanding over time.
