Abstract: A lure strike indicating assembly for preventing obstruction of rod guides includes an indicator, a filament, and a coupler. The filament is coupled to and extends between the indicator and the coupler. The coupler is configured to slidably couple to a fishing line. A fastener is coupled to the indicator. The fastener is configured to selectively couple to the coupler and the fishing line so that the indicator is fixedly positioned relative to a lure that is coupled to an end of the fishing line. The fastener also is configured to decouple from the coupler and the fishing line in the event of a strike on the lure. The coupler is slidably positionable relative to the lure to prevent the indicator from obstructing a guide on a tip of a fishing rod to which the fishing line is coupled as the fishing line is retracted into a reel.

Abstract: The present invention provides a digital content kiosk system operable for delivering selected digital content to a user. The digital content kiosk system of the present invention includes a limited-play recordable data storage medium configured to receive selected digital content and a data storage media recording device operable for recording the selected digital content on the limited-play recordable data storage medium at the request of a user. The limited-play recordable data storage medium of the present invention includes a reflective layer, a recording layer disposed directly or indirectly adjacent to the reflective layer, and at least one of a reactive layer and a reactive bonding adhesive layer disposed between the data storage media recording device and at least one of the reflective layer and the recording layer.

Abstract: A system, method, and computer program is disclosed for managing integrated real-time information about air flight trips, providing that information to multiple users, and receiving feedback from multiple users. A plurality of user interfaces are provided for displaying a plurality of types of information about a real time progress air trips as planned by an operational center. A communication channel is provided for receiving feedback information from the users and associating that feedback with a particular aspect of the trip.

Abstract: A system, method, and computer program for managing integrated real-time information about air flight trips and providing that information to multiple users by way of a flight operations system (FOS), including a data engine (DE) and render engine (RE). A computerized Upstream Distribution Center (UDC) containing a packet manager connects to the FOS and to a user interface including a computer display using text, image and color. The UDC is connectable to multiple user interfaces containing copies of the computer program through computer networks by which information is collected and propagated on a real time basis using object-relational mapping, object caching and proactive notification or “push” technology.
