Inventors find 'Silver Lining in COVID-19 Cloud' with New Talk-Through Face Mask, Miniature Loudspeaker and Telecommunications Emitter Developed at University of Pittsburgh.

Asheville, NC, Jun 6, 2020 -- Joyce Mann, Chairman and CEO of Lenoir-based RMANNCO, Inc., announced today that RMANNCO, Inc. has caused the formal filing of Letters Patent Application drawn to a new means and method of communication and biocontrol protection while wearing any kind of face covering, such as surgical masks, plastic face shields or cloth face. The title of the invention is "Voice-Activated Talk-Through Safety Mask Appliance and Method", called, 'VATTSMA'™. See: https://doctorjoesoriginal.weebly.com/. The Inventors listed on the patent application are Ms. Joyce M. Mann and Dr. Joseph A. Resnick.

The new product has its foundations in three early patents issued by inventor, Resnick, while a student at the University of Pittsburgh Eye and Ear Hospital, Pittsburgh, PA where he developed 'The Resnick Tone Emitter', known as the 'Talking-Tooth', which issued as US Patent #4,571,739, Intraoral Electrolarynx; US Patent #4,706,292, Speech Prosthesis; and US Patent #5,015,179 Speech Monitor. See: https://tinyurl.com/y742blc7. Dr. Joe Resnick, a former NASA Scholar and Research Scientist, said, "Parts of those prior technologies are used in the new VATTSMA™ product for which letters patent protection is pending approval. Of particular value and use for the new product is the miniature loudspeaker and electronics 'chip' we developed at Pitt in the 1980's, as these are 'fluid-resistant' and won't be affected by moisture from breathing, talking, etc. A value-added feature is that the electronics package is removable allowing its use on new masks once original masks have become soiled or unwanted". Resnick continued, "As an 'Optimist', I like to find good outcomes in everything…even worst-case scenarios such as the COVID-19 Pandemic. I have always been aware of the problems communicating while wearing a surgical-type mask. This was problematic when I was a student at Pitt, nearly 40 years ago…and has remained problematic to this day…even in my own work in my own laboratory. Enter the new VATTSMA™ technology. Now, people wearing masks equipped with the amplification emitter who work in health care, in hospitals, etc., or government officials giving speeches or having to talk in public, will be able to do so without removing the mask and their speech will be more intelligible, more audible at 83 dB, which is just a little louder than speech during normal communication. So, to quote the old sayings, 'Every cloud has a silver lining'. And the VATTSMA™ technology represents a little piece of 'silver lining' that we have realized necessary and which fills a real-world need, despite this horrible Pandemic. 'Fortune favors the Bold'".

Since the declaration of the COVID-19 Pandemic by the World Health Organization in March 2020, most of the world's population has resorted to, or been mandated to, wearing some form of mask or face covering thought to help slow/stop the spread of the Corona Virus, COVID-19. According to the US Department of Commerce more than 2 Billion safety masks have been produced and used since the outbreak of the Corona Virus in January 2020. The US Department of Commerce reports that more than 300 Million N-95 masks have been ordered by various US government agencies since March 2020 with the US Military ordering millions more.

Mann said that the initial price for the individual VATTSMA™ unit will be around $20.00, and that a test-market study is being orchestrated on the 'GoFundMe' Crowdfunding platform at https://tinyurl.com/yau4duub . Mann said, "That price should drop, significantly, as large orders are received and the units can be contracted and sold at retail by the tens-of-thousands". Mann said, "Yes, they may seem a bit pricey, at first. But the retail price will fall, a function of supply and demand economics. As we receive more and more orders and these are passed along to our manufacturers, the electronics component price will fall, drastically. When that happens we will be able to offer the technology/masks for about the same retail price as an N-95 mask today".

Mann said that RMANNCO, Inc., Licensee to the technology, is actively seeking JV partners to assist with global marketing of the VATTSMA™ product line because the potential market size is so large.

In this ever-changing world with its new economic paradigm, we have seen where modern business is going and therefore we are pleased to announce the launch of a new matchmaking web service – www.WhenInNeed.org. A business solution that will enable anyone, whether they be an individual, a small or medium-sized business, or a large corporation, to find skilled talent who can supply their expertise, experience, and knowledge in providing top-notch solutions at affordable rates. Our service brings together freelancers, remote workers, stay-at-home professionals, and others who seek to offer their skills to others in a fair exchange which will please both parties – what's more if you hire local freelancers you support your local economy in more ways than you know AND it is the best way to get qualified and verifiable help for that much-needed job to get done responsibly.

What we do is match qualified buyers (those who hire individuals to provide a solution), and sellers of services (those whose skills and talents you desperately need, even if it is for something small and only once). We do this within a framework designed to facilitate the on-line negotiations and the subsequent billing of a pre-agreed upon piece of work, task, or project within a time-frame specified by the buyer for the contracted project. No job is too big or small, and our service’s main goal is to help communities help themselves, following the principle ‘Promote Local Talent’ by ‘Hiring Local Talent’. Our communities' graduates and experienced freelancers have verifiable educations as well as references located in your own community. What better way to support the further growth and expansion of those same communities.

“We believe people will find this way of doing business to be the new future, and we are happy to offer this service to all those affected by business closures and slowdowns in our current economy.” says Cris Rodriguez, systems administrator for WhenInNeed. The service is available to everyone in North America and other select markets including, but not limited to the United Kingdom, Europe, Australia, New Zealand and Japan. Brian Hernon, director of business operations added “We anticipate working-from-home will be the top business-growth sector in the years ahead, and encourage everyone to sign up for a free account and start promoting their unique skills and abilities for the upcoming demand for on-line workers”.

Services offered by the sellers can range from accounting and bookkeeping, to writing and everything in between. Be it, program development and coding, web development, business plans, data analysis, marketing strategies, layout and graphic design, or 3-D modeling – our freelancers have experience in many unique areas and are ready and willing to offer their services to both their local communities and our pool of talent-seekers.

Our site is dedicated to promoting local talent, so if a buyer has a project that they need done, and a local entrepreneur has yet to sign up and offer that service, then we will endeavor to find the buyer a selection of skilled talent to choose from out of our pool of business talent at our discounted rates. Though we strive to promote local talent, we will always offer only a selection of qualified workers to the buyer for his project needs.

Our built-in project analysis allows both, buyers and sellers to determine the reliability of the parties they are dealing with prior to committing to a job offer. We want both parties to be pleased with the outcome of their relationship. Both our buyers and sellers are rated using a variety of factors based on their past performance and the nature of feedback from both parties to each unique project. In this way we can assure that our talent pool is always top-notch and allows the buyers a guarantee that they are seeing the top talent in their field applying for the posted jobs.

ADELAIDE BOOKS is proud to offer the latest work by David W. Berner Things Behind the Sun hitting stores everywhere on March 31st, 2020.

Martin Gregory believes he has one last shot at emotionally connecting with the son he adopted seventeen years ago from the only woman he ever loved. A long road trip could be the answer. But the boy has other ideas as the two of them navigate the past and contemplate the future during a summer journey through the American West. The trip uncovers long-held secrets—both Martin's and his son's—and becomes an exploration of whether the deep emotions that brought them together in the first place are more important than what could tear them apart. Things Behind the Sun is an inspired coming-of-age story about the powerful, complicated yet enduring bond between fathers and sons.

"Beautifully and patiently rendered, Things Behind the Sun is a meditative and empathic exploration of fate, family, and finding one's way. David W. Berner has created a vast emotional landscape as vibrant and expansive as its Pacific Northwest backdrop." — Claire Lombardo, author of the New York Times bestselling novel, The Most Fun We Ever Had

David W. Berner is an award-winning journalist, broadcaster, author, and associate professor at Columbia College Chicago. In 2011, he was named the Jack Kerouac Writer-in-Residence at the Jack Kerouac Project, and in 2015 David was named the Writer-in-Residence at the Ernest Hemingway Birthplace Home in Oak Park, IL.
