Patent number: 10517282Abstract: A functional ornamentation manufactured from a stamped metal plate which is twisted by a specified number of degrees to result in a shape that allows for unique reactions to flowing fluids such as air and water. Due to the shape and twist of the device, the device will spin along with the flowing fluid or when pulled through that fluid, such that it retains a straight trajectory. In a preferred embodiment, such as part of a fishing lure, the ornamentation is connected to a ball bearing swivel which allows for near frictionless rotation. The lure when drawn through the water travels in a straight path, rather than an arced path of the prior art. This results in a more natural travel path producing greater flash and rotation for attacking fish.Type: GrantFiled: January 30, 2019Date of Patent: December 31, 2019Inventor: James E. Baker, Jr.

Patent number: 8335609Abstract: A method of exposing and recording embedded avionics data using dynamically assigned labels assigns a first plurality of data labels to aircraft controller parameters designated for at least one aircraft sub-controller. A second plurality of data labels are dynamically assigned to desired embedded parameters of an aircraft main controller. At least one data word storing one of the desired embedded parameters is created. The at least one data word has one of the second plurality of data labels. The at least one data word is exposed by transmitting the at least one data word to a selective recording device. The selective recording device records the at least one data word.Type: GrantFiled: January 25, 2010Date of Patent: December 18, 2012Assignee: United Technologies CorporationInventors: William H. Beacham, Jason E. Posniak, James E. Baker, Paul Raymond Scheid

Publication number: 20030167180Abstract: A system and method of determining compliance with a service level agreement. In one aspect, the method includes the step of receiving operational data from a service provider. The operational data is received from a software agent that is not related to the service provider. The received operational data is compared to at least one service level agreement requirement to determine compliance with that requirement and other contract provisions, such as, but not limited to penalties and/or rewards, including monetary and contractual.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 1, 2002Publication date: September 4, 2003Inventors: Gunil Chung, James E.

Patent number: 4891901Abstract: A novel spinner blade for use in spinner bait, buzz bait and crank bait lures. The blade comprises upstream and downstream ends connected by an intermediate spiral body section. Swivels connect the blade to the fishing line and hook so that the blade rotates in a straight-line action during line retrieval without the need of a fixed wire or shaft. Various lures are disclosed which utilize the novel blade design so as to present fish-attracting stimuli during lure retrieval.Type: GrantFiled: March 13, 1987Date of Patent: January 9, 1990Assignee: Ronald GoldbergInventor: James E.

Patent number: 4444994Abstract: A quick disconnect heat sink includes a first longitudinal bracket having a longitudinal groove along one surface thereof and a second longitudinal bracket having a longitudinal notch along one edge thereof. A heat sink having a first tongue on one end and a second tongue on the other end is disposed between the longitudinal brackets such that the first tongue is inserted in the longitudinal groove and the second tongue rests in the notch. A movable rectangular bracket is attached to the second clamping bracket such that it retains the second tongue between the rectangular clamping bracket and the notch. A first insert is disposed on the first tongue that inserts into a first slot on the first longitudinal bracket and a second insert is disposed on the second tongue that inserts into a second slot on the rectangular bracket, the inserts and slots preventing lateral movement of the heat sink. The rectangular bracket is removable so that the heat sink can be detached.Type: GrantFiled: January 29, 1982Date of Patent: April 24, 1984Assignee: Varo, Inc.Inventors: James E. Baker, T.
