Abstract: If something drastic happens to the driver of a vehicle that is on CRUISE CONTROL, the passenger(s) has few options to disengage said feature: he can turn off the ignition key possibly locking the steering wheel; he can depress the brake or clutch if he can access them. In the meantime, the vehicle is speeding along out of control. I propose a CRUISE CONTROL CANCEL DEVICE somewhere on the passenger area of the vehicle.

Abstract: Soundboards of stringed musical instruments, such as guitars, are usually made of 2 pieces of matched wood and are usually braces in an X configuration. This author uses 12 triangular pieces, shaped like wedges, each cut to 30 degrees. The apex or point of each piece terminates under the bridge. The bases or wide parts are shaped, terminated and attached to the sides or rims of the instrument. Each piece or wedge is braced along each joint on the underside of the soundboard. each brace terminates under the bridge and resembles the spokes of a wheel. A plate, the same size and shape as the bridge is attached to the braces directly under the bridge. The bridge is attached to the top directly over the plate and where all the top's pieces join together. The bridge pin holes are configured as to not go through the braces.
