Patent CA-2740891-A1 (CA)
Inventor: CHAN EDWARD EC
IPC: G11B20/10
Filed: 2011-05-20
Abstract: A recording device characterized by the ability to record data continuously onto a temporary storage media over an indefinite period of time. Previously recorded data are overwritten with newly captured data when storage capacity has been reached, based on First-In-First-Out algorithm. Data from temporary media is transferred and organized in chronological order, to a permanent storage media upon the detection of a storage signal.     An application of the device is the recording of an automotive collision.  For example, the user is able to record events that took place before and after a collision. On the other hand, existing recording devices are only able to record events after a collision if the user did not start a recording before the collision. Moreover, existing recording devices will not record data when storage capacity has been reached. The device provides a cost-effective solution to record useful data over a specific period of time.

Patent CA-2757439-A1 (CA)
Title: Ice skate blade
Inventor: SWIST JASON
IPC: B24B3/00
Filed: 2011-11-02
Abstract: Ice skate blades represent the sole interface between a skater and the ice, a thin line of contact that must generate sufficient friction to melt the ice to allow gliding but not add drag under one state of usage and in another generate sufficient traction to support sharp turns and stopping. Today's skate blades have a single hollow of predetermined profile across their width terminating in sharp edges at the outer limits of the skate blade.  However, improved performance at both the competitive and recreational levels of skating and hockey in terms of the athletes and their sporting equipment has not followed through into the ice skate blade despite significant innovations in the skate boots.  Accordingly it would be beneficial to provide increased design flexibility by allowing multiple hollows per blade such that the performance can be adjusted between inner and outer edges as well as across the entire width.
