Abstract: An improved fishing lure capable of presenting a unique visual impression by incorporation of a dichroic coating is disclosed. The dichroic coating provides a lure with unique visual properties including the appearance of having more than one color, especially when viewed from different angles or from transmitted to reflected light. The present invention thus provides a fishing lure incorporating dicrhoic coatings that transmit certain wavelengths of light, while reflecting others, thus creating an interference-effect similar to the iridescence observed in nature's fire opal, dragonfly wings and hummingbird feathers. The transmitted color is different than the reflected color, and when the light rays transmit straight through the glass they are less effected by refraction than when passing at an off axis angle, which make the light travel a greater distance through the glass. It is this distance that causes a color shift.

Abstract: A gate regulator increases the productivity of unloading agricultural material from forage boxes. The gate regulator enables a box gate to swing open without restriction, but the gate is controlled for slow swinging closed. At a gate release position, the gate regulator releases control of the gate such that it swings freely by gravity from the release position to the closed position. The freely swinging gate has enough momentum to automatically relatch the gate closed. In one embodiment, the gate regulator includes a fluid cylinder with a cylinder pin that is received in an L-shaped slot on the gate. During controlled swinging closed, the cylinder pin is within one of the slots of the L-shaped slot. At the gate release position, the junction of the two slots is at the cylinder pin, which then has room to move freely in the other slot and thereby release the slot from the cylinder pin.

Abstract: A window element has a cover pane which is substantially flush with an outer skin of an aircraft or other transport, achieving a fluid-dynamically favourable, substantially unbulged exterior surface. As a result of the presence of an additional back-ventilated cover pane 10 arranged in front of the actual outer pane of the window element, a fluid-dynamically favourable integration of the window element into the outer skin of an aircraft fuselage airframe is achieved. Any deformation, such as any buckling or bulging of the outer pane of the window element, as a result of a difference in pressure between the interior of the aircraft fuselage airframe and the exterior space at cruising altitudes, has no fluid-dynamically disadvantageous effect. The outer pane is covered by the cover pane which remains substantially undeformed with respect to the outer skin of the aircraft fuselage airframe, for example. Any deformation of the cover pane is largely eliminated by this back-ventilation.
