  • Artificial fishing lure with resilient core
    Patent number: 6662487
    Abstract: Artificial fishing lure which has a flexible resilient core (10) surrounded by an elongated flexible body (12). One or more hooks (18) are installed in the core (10) substantially perpendicular to core (10) by way of apertures (24a) and (24b). The core (10) provides longevity to the lure for small and large lures when cast from rod and reel or trolled. Large of heavy lures of this design can be cast with great distances. Grooves (14) in the elongated flexible body (12) and core (10) create a predetermined or erratic motion during retrieval through the water. This action can simulate that of any type of prey including a wounded prey.

  • Shuttle compensated hydrostatic bearing
    Patent number: 6655838
    Abstract: Apparatus for allowing nearly frictionless relative motion between bearing elements in prescribed directions while providing high stiffness against motion in other directions has a bearing guide with one or more bearing guide surfaces. A bearing carriage with one or more bearing lands is constructed and located so that the bearing lands are parallel to, in proximity to, and oppose the smooth surfaces of the bearing guide. The assembly of bearing carriage to bearing guide allows the bearing carriage to traverse along the length of, or rotate about the bearing guide while preserving the nominal bearing gap between bearing land and bearing guide surfaces. The bearing carriage has a number of recesses or bearing pockets, which oppose the bearing guide surfaces and are hydraulically connected to a shuttle body, which has an internal cavity which houses a shuttle.
