Abstract: The present invention provides a device for grinding and dispersing aquatic life including a tube having a first end and a second end, and a cap positioned on the first end. A second end includes a motor and a blade for grinding and dispersing aquatic life, wherein the aquatic life is inserted into the cylindrical tube through the cap, and the aquatic life moves down the tube towards the blade, whereby the aquatic life is ground and then dispersed into the water.

Abstract: The present invention provides methods and systems for a turkey call producing the sound of a turkey including a bottom side, a top side, a slate side and a two ends collectively forming a cavity therein. A flexible sounding board has a first end and a second end positioned within the cavity, wherein the sounding board is capable of vibrating and producing the sound of a turkey. The slate side having a slate disposed thereon, and a striker, the striker having a strike peg and a block member, the strike peg extending from a surface of the block member.

Abstract: A turkey call having a hollow housing with a top surface and a bottom surface. A slate side is disposed between the top surface and the bottom surface. A wood side is disposed at an opposed surface from the slate side between the top surface and bottom surface. The wood side has a sounding board suspended between the top surface and the bottom surface, which resonates the top surface and the bottom surface. The slate side has a slate disposed thereon substantially coextensive with the slate side. The striker has a strike peg and a block member. The strike peg extends from a surface of the block member.

Abstract: A method and a system for forwarding multicast data packets across a plurality of telecommunications subnets interconnected by routers in which a data packet is received within a subnet of the plurality of telecommunications subnets. When the data packet is a multicast data packet, a multicast IP address for the multicast data packet is determined. A multicast forwarding database is accessed for determining a LAN Emulation Client associated with the multicast IP address, and a Broadcast Unknown Server associated with the multicast IP address for the multicast data packet is determined. The multicast data packet is sent to the Broadcast Unknown Server associated with the multicast IP address for the multicast data packet through the LAN Emulation Client using a point-to-point connection.

Abstract: In one embodiment of the invention, an apparatus is provided for establishing a communication session between first and second terminals in communication over a plurality of networks that employ differing transmission standards. The plurality of networks are selected from among a circuit switched network (e.g., a telephony network), a connectionless packet switched network (e.g., the Internet) and a connection-oriented packet switched network (e.g., an ATM or frame relay network). The apparatus includes a call set-up translator for translating among call set-up protocols associated with the circuit switched network, the connectionless packet switched network and the connection-oriented packet switched network. An encoding format translator is provided for translating among encoding protocols associated with the circuit switched network, the connectionless packet switched network and the connection-oriented packet switched network.
