A stoptail bridge (sometimes also called a stopbar bridge) used on a solid body electric guitar or archtop guitar is a specialized kind of fixed hard-tail bridge. Hard-tail bridged guitars use different bridges from those guitars fitted with vibrato systems (which are also known as tremolo arms or whammy bars).
Tune-o-matic (also abbreviated to TOM) is the name of a fixed or floating bridge design for electric guitars. It was designed by Ted McCarty ( Gibson Guitar Corporation president) and introduced on the Gibson Super 400 guitar in 1953 and the Les Paul Custom the following year. [ 1 ]
Polygon (formerly Matic Network) is a blockchain platform which aims to create a multi-chain blockchain system compatible with Ethereum. As with Ethereum, it uses a proof of stake consensus mechanism for processing transactions on-chain.
Ethereum Classic is a blockchain-based distributed computing platform that offers smart contract (scripting) functionality. [1] It is open source and supports a modified version of Nakamoto consensus via transaction-based state transitions executed on a public Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM).
The DAO was a digital decentralized autonomous organization [5] and a form of investor-directed venture capital fund. [6] After launching in April 2016 via a token sale, it became one of the largest crowdfunding campaigns in history, [6] but it ceased activity after much of its funds - in the form of US$ exchanged for "Ether-crypto coins" - were taken in a hack in June 2016.

In the American Contract Bridge League (ACBL), the two tables sharing boards are called a "relay" and the stand that holds the boards that are out of play is called a "bye stand." But in the English Bridge Union (EBU), the two tables sharing boards are called a "share" and the stand that holds the boards that are out of play is called a "relay."
The Carey Foster bridge. The thick-edged areas are busbars of almost zero resistance. In the adjacent diagram, X and Y are resistances to be compared. P and Q are nearly equal resistances, forming the other half of the bridge. The bridge wire EF has a jockey contact D placed along it and is slid until the galvanometer G measures zero.
