  • Publication number: 20240414465
    Abstract: A system includes a hearing device comprising a rechargeable power source, power management circuitry, and a first charging interface comprising a first cathode contact and a first anode contact spaced apart from the first cathode contact. A charging module comprises a second charging interface configured to detachably couple with the first charging interface of the hearing device. The second charging interface comprises a second anode contact having a contact surface and a displaceable second cathode contact. An arrangement is configured to displace at least a portion of the second cathode contact above the contact surface to facilitate electrical contact between the first and second cathode contacts prior to electrical contact between the first and second anode contacts. Charging circuitry of the charging module is coupled to the second charging interface and configured to charge the rechargeable power source of the hearing device.

  • Patent number: 11224210
    Abstract: An adjustable depth fishing lure including a lip and a lure body is provided. The lip is partially received in a slot of the lure body and is movable to predetermined positions relative to the lure body. The lip may include an eyelet. The lip includes a locking member and the lure body includes a plurality of teeth. The locking member is configured to engage at least one of the teeth to fix the lip relative to the lure body at one of the predetermined positions. This engagement between the locking member and the teeth provides a rigid connection that resists loading applied to the lip by the fisherman pulling on the fishing line and/or a fish biting a hook connected to the lure body.
