Abstract: A catheter includes a longitudinally extending catheter body having proximal and distal ends. The catheter body defines a lumen extending longitudinally from a first port defined at the proximal end, through the body, to a second port defined at the distal end. The catheter includes a valve for controlling fluid flow through the second port.

Abstract: Method and apparatus for emitting pre-recorded sounds that simulate the natural sounds present in the preferred habitat of lobster and other marine crustaceans. The attractant sound simulates the sound of water splashing, gurgling and moving as waves, current or tidal shift impact on the reef, boulder or other such geographic feature on the ocean floor. To lobsters and other crustaceans, these sounds represent shelter from prey and the presence of food source. When the apparatus is placed in a trap and the attractant sound is emitted, lobsters and other crustaceans are attracted to the source of the sound and enter the trap.

Abstract: An apparatus for protecting the side of a vehicle comprises a sheet of impact absorbing material such as foam which is bonded to a sheet of magnetic material, such as magnetic material embedded in a thin flexible polymer matrix. The apparatus is encased in a cover and is cross stitched to form a series of panels which are separated by fold lines.

Abstract: An apparatus for protecting the side of a vehicle including a resilient foam rubber pad of a length substantially longer than the width of most conventional vehicle doors has a cloth cover around it and a plurality of magnets are attached along the top and bottom border of such cloth cover so that the device can easily and simply be attached to the side of a vehicle by merely placing it in the desired position and allowing the magnets to hold it in such position. A plurality of elastic loops are attached to the ends of the cloth cover for alternatively either attachment to a hook in the wheelwell or for holding the protection apparatus in a rolled up storage condition.
