Patent number: 10827732Abstract: A fishing lure representing a typical fish is formed from plastic or polymer. Embedded therein is provided a dynamic motion actuator utilized to attract fish by the continuous or random motion effected thereby. The device is powered by an onboard battery connected to a vibrational motor. A control circuit detects the water activation of the fishing lure and enables the motor and a lighting system for a predetermined sequence of activation and deactivation. An auxiliary control circuit senses connection of a USB to barrel connector power wire through a charging dock mounted in the frame of the fishing lure. Checking both a charging state and the number of times the device has been charged, the auxiliary control circuit enables a steady state light for signaling charging and a flashing light if the number of charges is above a certain level by using a counter.Type: GrantFiled: March 8, 2017Date of Patent: November 10, 2020Inventor: Robert Mann

Publication number: 20150208625Abstract: A fishing lure representing a typical fish is formed from plastic or polymer. Embedded therein is provided a dynamic motion actuator utilized to attract fish by the continuous or random motion effected thereby. The device is powered by an onboard battery connected to a vibrational motor. Various alternative embodiments are provided. Amongst these one powers the lure using a cellphone stick battery supply having an electric wire socket to socket connection to a USB, circular socket or similar charging mechanism. Another has a door or screwed on cover that is removable and thereby operable to permit egress and ingress of used and replacement batteries respectively. The final embodiment is self contained as it is to be rechargeable via inductive principles.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 29, 2015Publication date: July 30, 2015Inventor: Robert Mann

Publication number: 20140003431Abstract: A method for per-peer request delivery timeouts includes receiving a DIAMETER message at a DIAMETER Routing Agent, testing if the DIAMETER message is a request message destined for an associated peer, and if said test is affirmative, then retrieving a preset timeout associated with that peer; initiating a timeout timer with said preset timeout; and forwarding the DIAMETER request message to said peer. The disclosure provides additional steps with respect to stopping the timer in the event that a response message is received prior to the timer expiring; or alternatively, either resending the request or providing an unable to deliver response in the event the timer does expire. The method for per-peer request delivery timeouts provides for fine tuning timeout periods according to the networks to which the DIAMETER peers are connected. The method is particularly useful for reducing the amount of time waiting for response messages which will not be forthcoming.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 28, 2012Publication date: January 2, 2014Applicants: Alcatel-Lucent, Alcatel-Lucent Canada, Inc.Inventors: Robert Mann, Eric Colaviti
