Abstract: A fish attraction apparatus comprising: a drive motor; a gear box having a downwardly extending output shaft; a spoon drive head assembly having a central shaft having an upper end portion releasably coupled to a lower end portion of the output shaft, and a lower end portion of the central shaft having a radial arm extending outwardly therefrom; and, a light reflective spoon pivotably attached to the outer end portion of the radial arm, said spoon configured to flash light radially outward in random directions as the spoon moves through water. Fish are attracted towards the flashing light from afar. In a preferred aspect of this invention there are multiple radial arms each comprising metallic spokes. The inner end portion of the spoke comprises a bend therealong. The spokes are laterally pivotable within the shaft of the spoon drive assembly so that when the spoke is turned 90 degrees from an outwardly extending position an outer portion of the spoke after the bend becomes generally aligned with the shaft of the spoon drive head so that the spoon drive head assembly can be substantially reduced in diameter without disassembly so that it is insertable through a bore in ice.

Inventor: PINCUS SETH H
IPC: G16B40/20
Filed: 2005-10-06
Abstract: Analytical tools and methods employing processing of channel current blockade measurements to detect or assess changes in environmental conditions generally, and more specifically, to detect and assess interactions between a blockade-producing auxiliary molecule in the channel and either the surrounding conductive medium generally or molecules in that conductive medium. The auxiliary molecule is disposed within the channel in order to generate a highly structured channel current blockade signal. The blockade signal resulting from inducing ionic current flow through the channel with auxiliary molecule present, is based on an auxiliary molecule chosen to be highly susceptible to modulation when the auxiliary molecule interacts with other molecules in the surrounding conductive medium, or when it otherwise is modified or affected at the molecular level by changes in the physical or chemical conditions of that surrounding medium. The tools and methods enable, amongst other things, candidate antibody screening, molecular affinity and bond strength analysis and detection of a variety of changes in test media, even at the molecular level.

Abstract: Fasteners are known since ancient times. From Roman lead anchor-fasteners to the latest complex high tech mechanical fasteners for medical surgery, they are manufactured in numerous shapes and forms and used in industrial, commercial and private applications. Main characteristic of existing fasteners is the need of expansion, threads, counter-holding devises like plates or nuts, hooks, groves, glues, solder and in most cases the requirement of tools in order to connect the fastener to the materials to be fastened to each other. The invention provides a means of fastening materials to each other by applying tension to a simple, one-piece tension-fastener that is inserted into pre-determined holes in the materials to be fastened to each other and does not require any counter-holding devises.
