  • Publication number: 20150223440
    Abstract: Devices hold and move fishing rods without human intervention. Fishing rods can be retained by a holder that permits easy insertion and adjustment of a fishing rod between opposite yokes but otherwise securely keeps the handle static with the holder after user manipulation. The holder can move the rod in a reciprocating or jigging fashion without user intervention. The holder can also move the rod in a different fashion following a fish strike on the rod. Moving patterns and specific behaviors following detection of forces associated with fish strikes can be stored in a local memory, potentially input by the user, and reproduced by the device. The holder can be moved by a drive such as a motor, spring, or other energy source without user interaction. The holder and any drive can be secured to a boat, ice, ground, dock, or any other mount via a lockable or traction-enabled base.

    Abstract: Soil nematode control techniques are established, the technique comprising diffusing uniformly 16-membered ring macrolide compounds which affect various organisms including nematodes at low concentrations, are hardly dissolved in water, and have a high soil adsorption within a treatment area, which technique is easy to use and eliminates the effect against organisms in the surroundings. By spraying an emulsion of the 16-membered ring macrolide compound with a water-soluble solvent to the soil surface and then mixing the emulsion with the soil or by mixing a granule adhering such the emulsion to a mineral carrier with the soil, soil nematodes parasitized crops are controlled as preventing seepage of the agent to an area outside of the treatment area.

    Abstract: Improvements a machine that turns gorditas into sopes. The machine uses an elliptical chain drive that transports the sopes. The gorditas travel horizontally where the gorditas are turned into sopes as they continue along the linear travel of the elliptical chain drive. The holder is a female pocket that accepts the gorditas and provides support at the sides of the sopes. A rotary press placed along the travel of the gorditas as they become sopes. The rotary press is synchronized to rotate and press into holders. The machine include leveling arms or pads that level the female pocket with the gorditas is loaded, pressed and ejected. The forming machine flips the sopes out of the female holder after the sopes has been formed with a central pocket.
