Abstract: A fishing device includes a casing and a main spring positioned therein. A trigger spring is also positioned in the housing and a plate is interconnected to adjacent ends of the two springs. The device includes a primary latch operatively coupled to the casing and movable between a normally restricting configuration that normally holds the main spring in a compressed configuration and a releasing configuration. A latch release member is coupled to the trigger spring and the primary latch for moving the primary latch to the releasing configuration when the trigger spring is extended, say by the strike of a fish on a line coupled thereto. At the releasing configuration, the primary latch allows the main spring to decompress and this action sets a hook in a fish. When extended, the main spring absorbs shocks caused by a fish's movements while being reeled in.

Abstract: A random state generator to determine a random non-return to zero (NRZ) vage level at a particular clocked time with a noise generating diode or gas tube to provide a randomly fluctuating analogue voltage. The random voltages are amplified and applied to a transformer which acts as a gate for the random voltage. The secondary of the transformer has unidirectional conducting means connected to each of the ends and so poled that by applying a positive voltage pulse to a center tap on the secondary, the unidirectional current devices are forward biased and close the gate. The output of the transformer is connected to a bistable multivibrator which is thereby slaved to the random voltage polarity applied to its input during clock time.
