A foldable acoustic guitar having a foldable neck assembly and a hollow body with at least one sound hole and a neck channel formed in the back for receiving a section of the neck assembly while the guitar is in a folded configuration. An actuator assembly is disposed in a recess formed in the body opposite the foldable neck. The actuator assembly serves to selectively loosen and tighten the strings in order to enable folding and unfolding of the guitar for travel/storage or play, respectively. While in the playing configuration, a user of the guitar may create any of a variety of musical notes by depressing the various strings between the various frets as known in the art. While in the folded configuration, a user can place the folded guitar in a backpack or other compact bag or carry-case for stress-free mobility or convenient storage.

Foldable acoustic stringed instrument

An in-airport guitar kiosk and related methods for allowing air travelers an opportunity to relax and play guitar before or after flights (to improve the passenger journey) as well as the opportunity to try a novel travel guitar uniquely suited for air travel.

In-airport guitar kiosk and related methods

Systems and methods of treating spinal deformity, including one or more intervertebral implants to be introduced laterally into respective intervertebral spaces, a plurality of bone screws introduced generally laterally into vertebral bodies adjacent to the intervertebral implants and/or the intervertebral implants themselves, and a cable dimensioned to be coupled to the bone screws and manipulated to adjust and/or correct the spinal deformity.

Systems and methods for treating spinal deformities

This application describes a spinal fixation system. The spinal fixation system includes at least a rod member having shaped ends, at least two pedicle screws capable of receiving the shaped ends of the rod member, and a system for introducing the rod member and pedicle screws in a minimally invasive fashion.

Posterio spinal fixation

Total disc replacement systems and related methods involving a lateral, trans-psoas surgical approach to the spine while performing at least one of continuous and intermittent intra-operative neural monitoring of the psoas muscle to avoid injury during introduction.

Total disc replacement system and related methods

A total disc replacement (TDR) system for lateral insertion into the spine, involving a first anchor plate having a first surface for engaging a first vertebra and a second surface including a cutout region, a second anchor plate having a first surface for engaging a second vertebra and a second surface including a cutout region, at least one pair of intradiscal inserts, each insert having a first surface for engaging with said anchor plates and a second surface for engaging with an intradiscal element, and an intradiscal element including a first articular surface having a generally arcuate cross-section for articulating with said first intradiscal insert, and a second generally planar surface for interacting with a second intradiscal insert.

Spinal fusion implant

The present invention involves a system and methods for nerve testing during anterior surgery, including but not limited to anterior total disc replacement surgery, nucleus replacement, and interbody fusion.
