Abstract: A hardware/firmware/software platform for hard real-time control over a wired or wireless network is disclosed. The platform allows the real time control of application hardware or a virtual touch device at one node (a client) of the network by another server on the network. To enable this technology, it is required that both client and server be synchronized closely, have precise sampling periods and have the ability to perform complex control computations so that a desired effect is enabled at the client end. This invention involves the use of GPS, or any similar method (either software or hardware) to accomplish this precision in timing. Sophisticated prediction algorithms are used to compensate for time-varying network delays. The platform is also flexible (bilateral) in that a client can become a server, should the need arise. This platform includes the use of virtual touch devices, such as a reconfigurable panel, to create GUIs which where either the client or server application hardware can be controlled. The platform can be applied to various applications such as Automated Highway Systems, telepresence, online computer games, and power system control.

Title: Sound transmitting device for a fishing lure
Inventor: ARCAND ROBERT
IPC: A01K87/00
Filed: 2002-07-10
Abstract: A device is provided for transmitting a sound signal to a fishing lure on a fishing line of a fishing rod. The device includes a vibrating element supported on the fishing rod to transmit vibrations to the fishing nod and means for coupling the vibrating element to a sound signal source to vibrate the vibrating element in response to the sound signal. The vibrating element is movable relative to the fishing rod at a frequency dependent upon a frequency of the sound signal and at an amplitude dependent upon an amplitude of the sound signal. The vibrating element allows sound to be transmitted to a fishing lure without the need of a complex and specially adapted lure. The sound can be transmitted to a conventional fishing lure through the fishing line in the form of vibrations within a range of frequencies audible to the fish. Furthermore, the vibrations can be completely random so as to simulate movements of live bait.
