20150279340 | TREMOLO (VIBRATO) BRIDGE - A bridge plate for a tremolo (vibrato) bridge which has recesses on the top surface to facilitate a pivot on a constant pivot point. A shim which is placed between the bridge plate and the body of the guitar. A saddle can be associated with the bridge plate, to receive the guitar string and to adjust a height of the string and a distance from a nut of the guitar to the portion at which the string rests on the saddle. A block can be fitted to the underside of the bridge plate to receive the guitar string. A tremolo arm can be attached to the block, with springs to counteract the force of the string thereby establishing a stable position. This ensures that an angle of the bridge plate in a balanced position is always the same, thereby solving the problems of tuning stability. | 10-01-2015 |

20090326756 | Method for determining the performance of motor vehicle consumables - A method for determining the performance of at least one motor vehicle consumable selected from the group consisting of engine lubricant, fuel and tyres, in a motor vehicle having an engine with at least one fuel injection valve, a lubricating system and a CANbus network comprising at least three network nodes, each operably connected to a computer, which method comprises: operating the vehicle whilst supplying the engine with the fuel through at least one fuel injection valve and lubricating the engine with the engine lubricant characterised in that: a first CANbus network node transmits to the computer, a signal indicative of the engine fuelling rate based upon the opening time of at least one of the fuel injection valves; one or more second CANbus network nodes transmit one or more signals to the computer indicative of one or more variables indicative of the power output of the engine; one or more third CANbus network nodes transmit one or more signals to the computer indicative of the vehicle operating conditions; the computer calculates a variable (Corrected Power Output) indicative of the power output of the engine corrected for the vehicle operating conditions using the one or more signals transmitted to the computer by the one or more second CANbus network nodes, the one or more signals transmitted to the computer by the one or more third CANbus network nodes and a predetermined algorithm; and the computer transmits and/or stores the Corrected Power Output and the signal indicative of the engine fuelling rate. | 12-31-2009 |
