Here's some H to Block, Hive, Long Boat and less common H to Eater 1 + Block (unfortunately)...
That H-to-eater is actually quite a significant discovery, something we haven't had before, and the block is not particularly unfortunate at all! We've always had to build
big engineered contraptions to create fishhook eaters before, but this is (relatively) small, simple, and direct.
The eater is on a completely transparent lane, with several more transparent lanes on both sides, so this H-to-eater can be used as a convenient permanent off-switch for a stream of gliders (subject to the usual timing constraints). The block isn't in a place where it gets in the way of the fishhook doing its work, so in a permanent-switch context it could just stay there.
There's almost a way to send a second Herschel in to clean up the block --
Code: Select all
x = 42, y = 49, rule = LifeHistory

-- but unfortunately that added fishhook catalyst impinges on the key transparent lane blocked by the eater, so that's no good.
Maybe there's another catalysis there that would keep the lane transparent, though, I'm not sure. But failing that, if the stream needs to be turned back on again, it just takes a couple of gliders to clear out the block and eater:
Code: Select all
x = 52, y = 49, rule = LifeHistory

One or both of the TURN BACK ON signal gliders could come from the southeast or southwest, instead. In fact, if a glider takes out the eater, then the next glider coming through the transparent lane will take out the block very nicely:

Not really. In a pulse divider, the incoming gliders must all travel on a single lane (so that at some point a later glider appears in the exact location previously occupied by an earlier glider). But this partial reflector doesn't work that way, so it isn't a x2 pulse divider:
