  • Publication number: 20230019774
    Abstract: The oscillating fishing lure is a fishing lure comprising: a body with a longitudinal axis, an uppermost surface, at least one hook, said first hook including a shank and a hook end, said shank being coupled to said body; a blade having an edge proximal to said body, wherein, during retrieval, a majority of said blade is oriented below said uppermost surface of said body; a joining mechanism whereby said blade is moveably coupled to said body, wherein said blade has freedom to move with respect to the roll, pitch and yaw axis only within strict mathematical limits; a line attachment mechanism, through which a fishing line is attached to the lure; and whereby retrieval of the lure causes the blade to oscillate in at least one dimension, and thereby causing the lure to erratically hunt. The oscillating-blade action imparts a natural swimming motion to the lure, emulating prey-species movements.

  • Patent number: 11513178
    Abstract: The invention relates to an MRI apparatus and a method of MRI involving the acquisition of a first and a second MRI image with mutually different orientations between the BO magnetic field and the object to be investigated. For instance, when imaging structures such as a tendon, due to the magic angle effect, this results in a change in image contrast. According to the invention, a coregistration can be performed between the first and the second MRI image. Moreover, the orientation of a structure within the object can be determined on the basis of the different orientations and the image intensity in the first and the second MRI image. The invention further discloses an apparatus for carrying out the method and a method of shimming the BO magnetic field of the apparatus.

  • Patent number: 11423798
    Abstract: Implementations disclosed herein provide user interfaces that are configured to selectively use and present device and system resources in ways that motivate inmate engagement with self-administered courses. One example of this is a user interface that is provided with music enabling capabilities as a reward to motivate course engagement. The user interface presents a segment of course material of one or more self-administered courses and the app determines an engagement score indicating a level of engagement by the inmate with the segment of the course material. The app determines that the inmate qualifies for a music reward based on the engagement score satisfying reward criteria, and accordingly displays, on the user interface, a notification of the music reward and/or enables music on the inmate device, for example, during display of a second segment of the course material.
