Title: Directionally controllable fishing lure
Inventor: SHAFFER THOMAS J
IPC: A01K85/16
Filed: 2000-09-20
Granted: 2004-12-07
Abstract: A directionally controllable fishing lure enables an angler to cast the lure to a desired area, with the lure traveling an arcuate path to the left or right upon retrieval. The direction of turn is determined by the angler, depending upon the rigging of the lure. The present lure has an elongate body with angularly truncated faces at each end thereof . The two faces are angled in opposite directions to one another, and the lure body is ballasted so that the two faces are always angled to one side when the lure is floating in the water, rather than facing upwardly or downwardly. The angularly truncated ends produce an asymmetrical hydrodynamic reaction as the lure is drawn through the water, causing the lure to turn in one direction or the other. If the angler attaches the fishing leader or line to the first end, the lure will travel in an arcuate path to the angler's right (or to the left, when considered in the direction of travel of the lure). Attaching the line or leader to the opposite end, results in a turn in the opposite direction. Thus, the present lure may be made to work around snags, weeds, and other obstructions, and/or may be made to work upstream in a current. The arcuate retrieve path is also much more realistic than the straight retrieval path of other lures, thus attracting fish more readily due to the realistic travel path of the present lure.

Granted: 2003-10-07
Abstract: A mobile apparatus, and method of operation, for controlling and suppressing the explosive destruction of munitions by detonation in an explosion chamber.  The apparatus comprises a double-walled steel explosion chamber which is moved by wheeled carriage means to a desired location. Granular shock-damping silica sand is introduced into fillable cavities within the chamber walls, ceiling and floor prior to use. After use, the sand is removed to lighten the chamber prior to transport. The floor of the chamber is covered with granular shock-damping pea gravel which may be added before use and removed before further transport. A munition to be destroyed is placed within an open-topped steel fragmentation containment unit. Vaporizable plastic bags of energy-absorbing water are disposed about the munition in a spaced array. An array of vent pipes vents the chamber into manifolds leading to an expansion tank or scrubber for further cooling and environmental treatment of the explosion products.

Title: Rotary storage unit with motorized latch actuator
Inventor: LEHMANN STEVEN M
IPC: E05B47/00
Filed: 2002-01-17
Granted: 2007-02-20
Abstract: A rotary storage unit includes a cabinet defining an interior within which a rotary storage member is located. A latch mechanism is mounted to the cabinet, and selectively engages the rotary storage member for maintaining the storage member in either an open position or a closed position. A motorized actuator arrangement is interconnected with the latch mechanism, for selectively moving the latch mechanism between a latching position and a release position. The motorized actuator arrangement includes a motor which imparts movement to an actuator rod interconnected with the latch mechanism, for moving the latch mechanism between its latching and release positions in response to axial movement of the actuator rod. The motor moves the actuator rod so as to return the latch mechanism to its latching position after expiration of a predetermined time delay. The actuator rod is interconnected with a spring which biases the latch mechanism toward its latching position, to provide a positive stop when the storage member is moved to a predetermined position relative to the cabinet. The motorized actuator arrangement is operable in response to operation of a hand-operable switch mounted to the cabinet.

Granted: 2009-12-29
Abstract: The present invention provides an ignition actuation mechanism for the manual actuator of a spark producing device in a fuel gas lighter to increase the actuation force immediately before spark discharge without unreasonably increasing the actuation force at the initial stages of movement of the manual actuator to reduce that chances of inadvertent ignition by small children, but maintaining good operability for adult users. Movement of the manual actuator is always resisted by a first elastic member while a second elastic member is positioned to resist movement of the manual actuator at a maximum of 30N to 50N after 60% or more of the total movement of the manual actuator required to produce a spark has occurred. Preferably the second elastic member is one or more flexible fingers molded from polyacetal resin.

Abstract: A method and system for commanding and controlling diverse home devices. A first home device capable of displaying user interface data is connected to a home network. A second home device stores user interface data that defines a user interface for commanding and controlling the second home device, also connected to the home network. The first device receives the user interface data from the second device over the network. The first device then displays the user interface as defined by the data. The user interacts with the user interface displayed on the first device by a control device. User input is accepted from the user responsive to the interaction. Control and command information is sent from the first home device to the second home device in order to control the second device according to the user input. Since the user interface can be displayed from any device, a single control device may control a plurality of different devices without requiring any change in the mode of operation of the control device.
