Abstract: A concave, flat, or convex metal, plastic, or composite bodied lure with somewhat pointed and similar ends and a jig hook which extends through the center of the body and is connected in a channel that proceeds to the rear, causing the lure to suspend in a horizontal position and produce a variety of attractive movements when the rod is jigged vertically or otherwise manipulated.

Abstract: An oval spring tension ring with left and right hooks at the opening on the top mid-section. This can contain one or more items or provide a connection between two points. Entry is achieved by slipping items over the hooks. Locking and unlocking is provided by squeezing inward on the outside of the end portions of the oval. The right and left hooks slide by one another and, upon release of the pressure, engage the hooks locking the ring securely.

Abstract: A lure with front and rear sections parallel, and an angled mid-section which, causes rotating reversable wounded baitfish action as it settles, and an enticing wobble that changes as it is retrieved at various speeds.

Abstract: A clip-on attactor for fishing lures, hooks, fly's, etc. which can be easily connected or removed, but is resistant to loss from the action of a fish striking the lure, or the ensuing struggle. A V-grooved entry point,or notch opens to a connecting hole. The various shaped attractors can be quickly clipped on the front, middle, or rear split rings on standard lures and also (using the smaller V-groove and connection hole so it will not slip over the barb) clipped on the bend of the hook for uses such as bait hooks and flies.

Abstract: A lightweight foot encompassing shoe which contains hidden connective material to provide a wide range of width and arch variations, and provides uniform ventilation but prevents rocks and pebbles from invading the foot “cocoon”, yet allows small unobtrusive elements such as sand and water to access and egress.

Abstract: An easy-access blower assembly is disclosed. The blower assembly includes a blower enclosure, and a blower slider assembly mounted to the blower enclosure. The blower slider assembly has slider rails, each with a moveable rail and a stationary rail, a blower mounting plate coupled to each moveable rail of the slider rails, and a blower motor and fan assembly mounted to the blower mounting plate wherein the blower motor and fan assembly is adapted to slide out of the blower enclosure. Blower slider assemblies and methods of servicing a blower motor and fan assembly are also provided, as are other aspects.

Abstract: Embodiments include an electronic module having a chassis, a locking member rotatably connected to the chassis, and a bus bar system comprising a plurality of bus bars. The electronic module includes a plurality of power plug connectors configured such that each of the plurality of bus bars is connected to at least one power plug connector, wherein each of the power plug connectors is configured to receive at least a portion of a system bus thereby establishing an electrical connection between each of the plurality of bus bars and the system bus. The locking member is configured to connect the electronic module to the system bus such that the plurality of power plug connectors establish an electrical connection between the bus bar system and the system bus and wherein the locking member is configured to lock to the chassis once the electrical connection has been established.
