Abstract: A fishing lure system includes an elongated body with a front end and a tail end; a weight, embedded within the tail end of the body; a hook, located at the tail end and having a shank, connecting the hook to the top of the body, and a barb, connected to the shank and extended above the body; an inverted bill, secured at the front end of the body at a connection point and extending substantially upward from the connection point on the body; a line attachment point, secured at the head end of the body and below the inverted bill; the tension applied by the line causes the tail end to rise, positioning the body in a horizontal position mimicking the movement of a natural prey; the release of tension by the line allow the tail end to fall, causing the body to become substantially vertical; and the inverted bill causes resistance when the tail end falls, slowing the fall to further mimic the movement of natural prey such as a crawfish.

Abstract: A method and system in an application service provider (“ASP”) system for regulating the dispatching of event notification messages that generate return contacts. The ASP system is connected to various requestor systems and receives from those systems requests to send messages to designated recipients. The ASP system dispatches the messages by retrieving the requests from the request store, generating messages for the requests, and sending the generated messages at a requestor-specific message dispatch rate. The ASP system dynamically adjusts the message dispatch rate for a requestor in real time to help ensure that the requestor is not overwhelmed with return contacts.
