Abstract: Embodiments of a bead storage system are disclosed herein. In one example, the system includes a bead holder having at least one bead. The system also includes a lever holder having at least two levers that are configured to be simultaneously pressed so as to squeeze the bead when the bead holder is stacked together with the lever holder.

Abstract: Fishing line stops are disclosed. Fishing line stops illustratively include a lid and a main body. The lid has inner and outer walls. The lid outer wall forms a portion of an outer surface of the fishing line stop. The lid inner wall has first and second surfaces. The lid inner wall first and second surfaces are separated from each other by a lid offset that runs perpendicular to a central longitudinal axis. The main body has inner and outer walls. The main body inner wall forms another portion of the outer surface of the fishing line stop. The main body inner wall has first and second surfaces. The main body inner wall first and second surfaces are separated from each other by a main body offset that runs perpendicular to the central longitudinal axis.

Abstract: An attachment device attachable to a string, rope, cord or other flexible line that remains in a fixed position on the line without knotting the line or clamping the device to the line. The attachment device is quickly attached and removed without the need for additional tools to attach or release the device from the line. The device includes a secondary attachment to allow a second device to be permanently attached to the attachment device, allowing the second device to be quickly attached and released from a line.

Abstract: A receiver responsive to a noise laden phase modulated signal on a carrier hard limits the signal to derive a constant amplitude phase modulated r.f. signal. The constant amplitude phase modulated r.f. signal is supplied to processing circuitry to derive a digital signal having a value representing the phase of the noise laden carrier. A phase locked loop, including a minimum variance Kalman predictor filter, responds to the noise laden carrier to derive a relatively noise free indication of carrier phase. The noise laden indication of phase and the relatively noise free indication of carrier phase are combined to indicate the phase of the phase modulated signal to which the receiver is responsive.
