Patent number: 11871736Abstract: A fishing lure clapper device may include a fishing lure such as a spoon lure or spinner lure. A strike member may be loosely attached to the fishing lure. The strike member may have at least one water flow contact surface. The water flow contact surface may be at least partially concave and/or at least partially convex. Accordingly, throughout retrieval of the lure on a fishing line through water in a water body, flow of the water against the water flow contact surface of the strike member may cause the strike member to move at random orientations and repetitively strike or clap against the side of the fishing lure, creating vibration and clicking or clapping sounds in the water to attract fish and agitate or entice the fish to strike the lure.Type: GrantFiled: August 23, 2022Date of Patent: January 16, 2024Assignee: Quantum Innovations, Inc.Inventors: Thomas Leroy Tow, Norman L.

Patent number: 10914851Abstract: Time of flight (TOF) corrections for radiation detector elements of a TOF positron emission tomography (TOF PET) scanner are generated by solving an over-determined set of equations defined by calibration data acquired by the TOF PET scanner from a point source located at an isocenter of the TOF PET scanner, suitably represented as matrix equation at ?t=CS where ?t represents TOF time differences, C is a relational matrix encoding the radiation detector elements, and S represents the TOF corrections. A pseudo-inverse C?1 of relational matrix C may be computed to solve S=C?1 ?t. TOF corrections can be generated for a particular type of detector unit by identifying the radiation detector elements in C by detector unit. Further, multi-photon triggering time stamps can be adjusted to first-photon triggering based on ?{square root over (P1/Pm)} where P1 is average photon count using first-photon triggering and Pm is a photon count using multi-photon triggering.Type: GrantFiled: June 25, 2020Date of Patent: February 9, 2021Assignee: KONINKLIJKE PHILIPS N.V.Inventors: Sharon Xiaorong Wang, Thomas Leroy Laurence
