  • Patent number: 11937611
    Abstract: A device for hanging captured game is provided. The device includes a polymerized device body. The device body includes a front planar surface and a rear planar surface, wherein the rear planar surface is parallel to the front planar surface. The device body further includes a rimless boundary around a perimeter of the polymerized device body and a game hook formed unitarily with the polymerized device body such that a first surface of the game hook is coincident to the front planar surface and a second surface of the game hook is coincident to the rear planar surface. The front planar surface directly transitions to the rimless boundary. The rear planar surface directly transitions to the rimless boundary.

  • Publication number: 20230380395
    Abstract: A fishing lure is provided. The fishing lure includes a fishing lure spoon body. The spoon body includes a relatively flat forward section including an attachment feature capable of being secured to a fishing line. The spoon body further includes a longitudinally flat central section offset from the relatively flat forward section. The spoon body further includes an S-shaped section connected to and transitioning between the relatively flat forward section and the longitudinally flat central section. The spoon body further includes a trailing edge portion curving toward the relatively flat forward section. The fishing lure further includes at least one hook. The spoon body is convex upon a first side and concave upon a second side. The spoon body is configured for creating hydrodynamic lift when the spoon body is pulled through the water.

  • Patent number: 11618267
    Abstract: A system for printing upon an artificial fishing lure body is provided. The system includes a printing device. The printing device includes a printing head operable to spray at least one liquid substance onto the artificial fishing lure body and an ultraviolet light emitting device operable to apply an ultraviolet light beam upon the fishing lure body and dry the at least one liquid substance. The system further includes a fixturing tray including a fixturing detail operable to hold the artificial fishing lure body while the artificial fishing lure body is sprayed.

  • Publication number: 20070176655
    Abstract: A differential charge pump with common mode and active regulators is presented. Either type of regulator may be used to improve the performance characteristics of the differential charge pump. The active regulator increases the output range of the differential amplifier. The common mode regulator establishes the common mode voltage of the differential charge pump. The common mode voltage is established independently from external circuitry and does not use a feedback path. The common mode regulator may also be used to establish a mid-rail voltage, which may be used to further improve the output range of the differential amplifier.

  • Patent number: 5606169
    Abstract: This invention relates to a retrofit apparatus utilized in Ultraviolet (UV) light sterilization equipment for paperboard packaging filling machines. Such structures of this type, generally, allow conventional paperboard packaging filling machines to be economically converted to include an ultraviolet light sterilization retrofit assembly wherein microbiological spoilage of the food product contained within the paperboard packaging can be significantly reduced.
