Abstract: A method of manufacturing a device for, among other things, preventing picks from falling into soundholes of various musical instruments is disclosed. The device is both decorative and functional, including having multiple sizes, contours, and usages. Further, various methods of manufacturing the device are disclosed. The device can have various electronics incorporated therein, and in some embodiments communicates with a mobile application on a handheld computing device. The method of manufacture can include, in an embodiment, manufacturing a circular frame having an inner and outer diameter; manufacturing a circular screen also having an inner and outer diameter to be inserted within the frame in a non-movable snug-fit, fabricating the frame to have an instrument-facing surface and a string-facing surface, and preparing an instrument-facing surface of the frame to be suitable for attachment to a surface of the instrument, among potentially other steps.

Abstract: Devices, Methods and Systems are disclosed for assisting patients in behavioral modification and cessation programs aimed at terminating undesired behaviors such as smoking, alcohol use and others. Patient devices with automated patient prompting for self-testing, analysis of test results and data logging are included in a networked system with a specifically designed treatment modality.

Abstract: Devices, methods and systems are disclosed for assisting patients in behavioral modification and cessation programs aimed at terminating undesired behaviors such as smoking, alcohol use and others. Patient devices configured to be easily carried or worn including test units such as carbon monoxide blood level sensors with automated patient prompting for self-testing, analysis of test results and data logging are included in a networked system with a specifically designed treatment modality. Devices and methods disclosed are particularly suited to use in smoking cessation treatment and programs.

Abstract: Methods, devices and systems are disclosed for use in detecting a number of substances that may be present, whether constantly or intermittently, in the oral cavity and indicative of specific undesirable and/or unhealthy behaviors. Disclosed devices including detectors that indicate the presence of targeted substances qualitatively or quantitatively, may be secured temporarily, semi-permanently or permanently in the oral cavity employing known dental materials and techniques. The disclosed methods and devices enable constant passive monitoring and therefore may aid in the cessation via a number of positive and negative feedback mechanisms, as well as providing additional diagnostic information to healthcare providers.
