Abstract: A lure for attracting aquatic life comprises a submersible main body portion that defines a watertight interior volume. A removable internal sound cartridge disposed within the interior volume provides a synthetic sound for attracting aquatic life. The removable internal sound cartridge may be exchanged for a second removable internal sound cartridge to provide a second synthetic sound for attracting aquatic life. A speaker operably is coupled to the removable internal sound cartridge and configured to emit the synthetic sound for attracting aquatic life.

Abstract: A lure for attracting aquatic life, specifically crabs, that utilizes interchangeable sound cartridges. The lure includes a fully submersible portable unit that houses all sound production components, including a speaker, and a power source.

Abstract: A cleansing unit for enhanced sanitation compliance and for eradicating a healthcare facility-hosted opportunistic infections, the unit comprising: a hands-free automatic dispenser of disinfectant agent that dispenses such agent either directly on at least one agitation membrane support post having a condom-like mounted textured sheath or directly on the auscultation portion of the stethoscope, said textured sheath designed to provide a frictional agitation of an auscultation portion of a stethoscope to effectively clean and sanitize the stethoscope, and method thereof.

Abstract: An intra-procedure dental implant stabilization and healing system that includes a soft tissue forming scanning abutment and associated, temporary crown. After initial implant placement, a scanning abutment of the present system is attached to the implant and serves, both as a scanning body and, in combination with a temporary crown attached thereto, as a healing cap. Use of the system obviates an additional surgical incision to reach recipient osseointegrated implant, as is required in conventional implant procedures, as well as the need for a conventional impression coping, separate healing cap, temporary abutment and temporary crown.
