Abstract: A fusible link assembly including a first detection line, a second detection line, and a fusible link. The fusible link includes, a first substrate with a first end coupled to the first detection line, a second substrate with a first end coupled to the second detection line, and a solder layer directly bonded to a second end of the first substrate and a second end of the second substrate. The solder layer is configured to prevent separation of the first substrate and the second substrate until the solder layer reaches a temperature between 500° F.-575° F.

Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for installing and actuating movable airfoils, such as canards. A canard in one embodiment of the invention includes an airfoil positioned external to an aircraft fuselage. The airfoil can include a first portion and a second portion (such as a flight control surface) movable relative to the first portion. A connecting portion depends from the airfoil portion and has an attachment portion configured to attach to an aircraft internal to the aircraft fuselage. A connecting portion can include first and second load paths to carry corresponding first and second load portions between the airfoil portion and the attachment portion. The connecting portion can be rotatable about a rotation axis positioned between the first and second loads paths. Accordingly, the connecting portion can be relatively compact so as to reduce the impact of the connecting portion and the volume of the fuselage.

Abstract: A masking device including a substantially rigid body, the body having an underside and adjoining first and second edges and an adhesive portion positioned on the underside adjacent to one or more of the first and second edges.

Abstract: A spinner bait lure having various rattle pod configurations for containing loose shot and producing a rattling noise when the lure is retrieved. In a first preferred embodiment, a rattle pod is mounted on the body segment of the wire harness extending between the lure body and the line eye and in a second preferred embodiment, various rattle pod configurations are secured to a spinner segment of the harness wire which projects from the line eye to the spinner. The rattle pod configurations include an oval rattle pod, offset rattle pod, elongated rattle pod, tear-drop rattle pod, diving rattle pod, which is fitted with diving planes, a pivoting rattle pod and a sliding rattle pod.
