Title: Casino card game
Inventor: DUNCOMBE MICHAEL
IPC: A63F3/00
Filed: 2002-02-21
Abstract: A simple casino gambling game, suitable for new players, involves betting on the value of a single card or of a series of cards. A dealer draws one card from a shuffled deck or decks of conventional 52-card format. If there is a table, each player will have previously laid a bet or bets in his box (1) for the following outcomes: that the card is higher than (HIGH), equal to, or lower than (LOW), 7; or that the card will be of a paticular suit. The dealer then pays for winning outcomes. Alternatively players can bet that runs of up to seven individually drawn cards will be higher or lower than 7 (box 10).  Bets can also be made on a jackpot basis, eg on the outcome of the previous five cards, (these cards are displayed in area 11). If a seven is drawn, low and high bets all lose while other bets have a reduced payout.

Patent CA-2471257-A1 (CA)
Inventor: TORRE HAROLD R
IPC: A01G23/14
Filed: 2004-06-16
Abstract: A Micro Maple Spout and Method of Use made of rigid bacteria resistant materials that is significantly smaller than the current industry standard. The small size and nature of the construction materials of the Micro Maple Spout allows the collection tubing to be slid on and off instead of being permanently attached. The concomitant smaller tap hole in the sap trees results in far less sap tree damage than current designs and further results in significantly increased production of maple sap. One embodiment of the invention allows the use of smaller and less expensive collection tubing than the current industry standard and in yet another embodiment the Micro Maple Spout may be retro-fitted to existing prior art spouts.

Abstract: A polyvinylacetal resin powder with a low metal content, being excellent in transparency, moisture resistance and electrical insulating properties and having a large specific surface area, and a process for its production, are presented. A polyvinylacetal resin powder obtained by reacting polyvinyl alcohol and an aldehyde in the presence of an acid catalyst, which has an acetalization degree of at least 60 mol%, a specific surface area of from 1.50 to 3.50 m2/g, a bulk density of from 0.12 to 0.19 g/cm3, an average particle diameter of from 0.5 to 2,5 µm and a metal content of at most 80 ppm.     It is produced, for example, by feeding a reaction fluid containing polyvinyl alcohol, an aldehyde and an acid catalyst into a first reactor, to carry out an acetalization reaction, discharging the reaction fluid wherein the acetalization degree has reached from 10 to 60 mol%, and feeding the same into a second reactor to carry out a further reaction to bring the acetalization degree of polyvinylacetal to at least 65 mol%.
Patent CA-2484705-A1 (CA)
Inventor: WEEKS DAN M
IPC: B41M5/00
Filed: 2004-10-13
Abstract: Mutilayer media is being developed which has inner ink-receiving micro-porous layer and an outer sealable porous surface coat, or topcoat. Ink printed on the media passes through the topcoat, and is absorbed by, or reacts with the inner ink-receiving layer. A thermal printhead is attached downstream of the print zone so that it passes over the area that was previously printed, and heats the topcoat. Where the topcoat is heated, the pores are closed and the closed pores provide a protective layer between the inner ink-receiving layer and the environment.

Abstract: Walking your pet is a fun time for the animal and owner to spend time interacting. When you take your pet out, an animal owner has to bring along various items along for the walk. Such items may include a toy, treats, bags for waste pick up, a leash, and any other items that may be required for your pet to have a good walk. To carry all these items, some animal owners carry knapsacks or big bags which can be cumbersome.  With The "Bandolier" an animal owner can store all of these items that can be easily accessed at any time. The "Bandolier" is a canvas and vinyl over the shoulder, cross body carrier that provides a convenient place to carry all of the items an animal owner will need for their pet. It has separate pockets for plastic bags, treats, a ball, and an extra pocket for any other dog accessory you might have. There is also a zipper pocket that is big enough to carry keys, a wallet, a cell phone, or any items that the owner might need.  It has a buckle strap that is adjustable to go over either a big jacket in winter or just a t-shirt in summer. There are also D-Rings to attach a leash, ball thrower, or anything that won't fit into the pockets of the "Bandolier". The "Bandolier" is a convenience tool that stores everything you need for yourself and your pet giving you more time to spend enjoying your companion.

Title: Dishwasher pump and filtration
Inventor: ELICK ROBERT A
IPC: A47L15/42
Filed: 2004-12-31
Abstract: A dishwasher includes a pump assembly which functions to chop all fluid entrained soil prior to directing fluid to upper and lower wash arms. A flow conduit leading to the upper wash arm is provided with a sampling port which directs a percentage of the fluid flow into a filter chamber having one or more fine mesh filter screens that open into the dishwasher tub basin.
