Patent CA-2144379-A1 (CA)
Title: Heel saver
Inventor: THOMPSON DEBORAH
IPC: B60N3/06
Filed: 1995-03-10
Abstract: A heel saving device has a first straight part underlying an accelerator pedal of a vehicle and a second bulbous or circular part that is integral to the first part and which extends out from under the pedal towards the driver.  The heel of the driver's shoe rests atop the bulbous second part when the vehicle is being operated, and protects the heel from abrasion by the floorboard. A chemical is added to the bulbous second part to prevent rubbing off of heel coloring, and a double-sided adhesive secures the device into position. In a second embodiment, a first straight part overlies a second straight part and a bulbous first part overlies a bulbous second part that has an adhesive-saving central opening formed in it.

Title: Ice fishing landing apparatus
Inventor: WINDLE TERRANCE L
IPC: A01K97/01
Filed: 1995-04-11
Abstract: A common problem in ice fishing is line breakage occurring when the struggling fish is reeled into the ice hole and is lifted from the water.   Another problem, of environmental concern is freezing of the fish's gills after it is removed from the water before it is measured and returned to the water because it is sub-sized or otherwise unwanted.   The invention discloses a low cost apparatus which entraps a fish in the ice hole after it has entered therein, thereby preventing loss thereof or the necessity of gaffing the fish before lifting it from the water before measurement.   The invention features a superior method of mounting to the ice as well as providing for a hole closing disk 28 which has an underside painted to attract and allure fish to the vicinity of the hole in the ice.  The invention also utilizes a flat handle/lift member which facilitates folding, transportation, and storage of the apparatus.

IPC: H01R43/00
Filed: 1995-10-27
Abstract: A water-tight splice connector made from an existing connector, including a first housing and a plurality of pins mounted in means for splicing the pins together located in the housing.  A first seal member is located at one end of the housing behind the splicing means and pins.  A retainer member engages the housing behind the seal member to protect and secure the seal member in place in the housing. A terminal locking member is insertable in the end of the housing opposite the end receiving seal member to lock and align the pins in place within the housing.  A second seal member is located in a second housing containing female terminals for receiving the pins in the first housing.  An interfacial seal member is located between the first housing and second housing to seal both housings from outside moisture and water.

Patent CA-2176647-A1 (CA)
Title: Hybrid video-on-demand
Inventor: GANEK ALAN GEORGE
IPC: H04N7/173
Filed: 1996-05-15
Abstract: A system and method for Video-on-Demand (VOD) satisfying the desire of 'surfers'. The process entails a server operating in a standard NVOD mode, whereby it continuously sends multiple copies of each program on separate channels. Eachcopy is delayed by a staggered time interval. The invention provides a way to fulfill a VOD user request asynchronous with the start of a NVOD transmission but which still makes primary use of the NVOD transmission for that requestor. The system and method combines independent server service satisfying an asynchronous request for only a short duration, usually less than or equal to the NVOD staggered time interval, and then aligns that requestor with an immediately previously commenced NVOD transmission.
