Patent number: 10629171Abstract: This invention comprises a novel mechanical system for adjusting downward and side-to-side pressure of strings on the bridge of stringed musical instruments. The system comprises a threaded female element, to which an instrument's tailgut is attached, and a threaded mounting bolt which freely spins in a socket joint, which is incorporated into a mounting bracket secured to the instrument's end block, thereby allowing the tailgut's position at the point of the saddle to be adjusted higher, lower, or side-to-side relative to the instrument's table. These features allow the instrument's volume, resonance, and playing response to be adjusted in small increments, without detuning the instrument, to allow musicians to adapt quickly to different environmental playing conditions and musical repertoire.Type: GrantFiled: April 29, 2019Date of Patent: April 21, 2020Inventor: John Haines-Eitzen

Publication number: 20030023458Abstract: A system and method for providing medical care to a patient via a virtual call center, regardless of the patient's location and a medical care agent's location, is disclosed. A patient digital processor allows a patient to provide a patient profile to the medical care system that is received by a medical care digital processor. A medical care agent digital processor allows a medical care agent to provide their characteristics to the medical care digital processor. Upon patient initiation, the medical care processor analyzes the patient profile to determine an appropriate medical care agent to address the patient's medical queries. A connection is then made between the patient digital processor and the medical care agent digital processor to allow “real time” interaction. Additional medical care agents may be added to the connection for additional medical analysis and input.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 27, 2001Publication date: January 30, 2003Applicant: Cyber-Care, Inc.Inventors: John Haines, Michael Burrow, John Peifer, Andrew Hopper, Stephen Ratzel
