Abstract: A silicone rubber based custom toe cap for ballet pointe shoes which is molded to fit the tips of relatively shorter toes inside a ballet pointe shoe so as to provide more even weight-bearing across the tips of all toes. The toe cap is fabricated by molding a putty-like settable compound about the ends of the shorter toes utilizing the ballet pointe shoe in place over the toes and moldable compound as a mold resulting in a custom toe cap which conforms exactly to the three dimensional surface and topography of the dancer's toes, the shoe walls and toe platform.

Abstract: A self-contained theft and vandalism deterrent system for equipment security includes sensors (12) for detecting conditions to which an alarm (24, 26, 28, 50) is responsive. The analog signals from the sensors (12) are serially delivered by a multiplexer circuit (16) when they are then directed to a network (20) for conversion to digital signals. The digital signals are delivered to a micro processor (22) where the signals are evaluated to determine if an alarm condition exists. The sensing means (12) include sound and vibration detectors for monitoring the ambient envelope. The micro processor (22) includes built in reprogramming and comparator circuits for varying the level at which a given condition will trigger an alarm response.

Abstract: Video Cassette holder/shelf for mounting on vertical surfaces of slot-wall for merchanising purposes. The holder is a module with bi-model display capacity and intercongruous or modular design characteristics. Each module has vertical walled recesses for displaying cassettes upright and at an angle relative to a vertical display wall surface and a tray with tilted bottom and back wall surfaces for displaying cassettes face-out and parallel to the vertical display wall surface.
