Abstract: Provided are a system and method for a game call having an open frame and notch above a diaphragm. The game call includes a first frame having a top side and a bottom side, an exterior periphery and an interior periphery, and a longitudinal axis. A flexible diaphragm disposed in the first frame between the top side and the bottom side and across the interior periphery, the flexible diaphragm having side portions adjacent to the longitudinal axis and a central portion generally upon the longitudinal axis. An Open Arch Frame spans the interior periphery generally normal to the top side, the Open Arch Frame disposed above the flexible diaphragm and generally perpendicular to the longitudinal axis, the arch frame having a central air passage notch section, and opposing leg sections. An associated method of use is also provided.

Abstract: An appliance for modifying the traction and noise generating characteristics of footwear, including a traction element, typically constructed of felt material, and an attachment system adapted to anchor the traction element to the bottom surface of footwear to restrain the traction element from longitudinal and transverse movement with respect to the footwear.

Abstract: A diaphragm game call having an integral dome-shaped resonant cavity having a tone trough recessed region therein, the dome being coupled to and disposed above a frame containing a latex diaphragm and a flexible game call having a flexible sound chamber coupled to a multi-part mouthpiece assembly which includes therein a removable diaphragm with a dome-shaped resonant cavity.

Abstract: A diaphragm game call having an integral dome-shaped resonant cavity coupled to and disposed above a frame containing a latex diaphragm and a flexible game call having a flexible sound chamber coupled to a multi-part mouthpiece assembly which includes therein a removable diaphragm with a dome-shaped resonant cavity and a method of operating the game call in which the diaphragm is placed between the caller's teeth.

Abstract: A flexible game call having a flexible sound chamber coupled to a multi-part mouthpiece assembly which includes therein a removable diaphragm and a method of operating the game call in which the flexible sound chamber is manipulated to affect the tone of the sound emitted from the game call and further manipulated for affecting the general direction of the sound emanating from the game call.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for repairing or isolating holes, ruptures, splits or old perforations in marginal oil and gas wells from producing perforations. The apparatus includes two packer assemblies, a tube assembly and a slip assembly. The packer assemblies further include expandable packer elements and a vent cone mounted on a mandrel. The mandrels of the packer assemblies are connected to opposite ends of the tube assembly. The slip assembly is housed on the mandrel of one packer assembly and is used to create a positive mechanical set of the repair apparatus when positioned over the damaged area. Once the packer apparatus is positioned and the packer elements expanded, gas from producing formations flow to the wellhead through the tube assembly without interfering with the operation of down-hole pumps. The length of the gas vent packer apparatus can be varied between the packer elements depending upon the depth of damaged casing requiring repair or isolation.

Abstract: The animal call holder and at least one flat animal call device form the assembly. The holder includes a container having a bottom portion formed of a flat closed bottom, and integral upraised sides, rear and front sloped upwardly rearwardly and defining a lower storage space therewith. The bottom portion may have a pocket clip attached thereto and/or loops and a neck lanyard. The container also has an openable lid hinged to the bottom portion. The lid may be flat or may include a closed flat top and integral closed depending sides, front and rear sloped downwardly forwardly and adapted to rest on the upper edges of the bottom portion and which define an upper storage space. The top may be vapor permeable but water resistant in order to dry out wet animal call devices in the holder. The top inside may bear strips upon which indicia identifying the call devices can be marked.
