Abstract: A massage tool includes a spherically-shaped muscle ball element, a cylindrical central handle element, a discoid-shaped skin brace element, and a pin-pointer element. The massage tool allows for both general and targeted massage of various body parts. For example, the spherically-shaped muscle ball element can be used for general massage to aid in relaxing muscles; and the pin-pointer element can be used for targeted massage of particularly tense muscle fibers (muscular knots). The cylindrical central handle element can also double as a shoulder roller for releasing tension in the shoulders.

Abstract: The present invention relates generally to a fishing rod carrier used by persons for transporting fishing rods inside a vehicle. Particularly to an improved fishing rod rack for vehicles that is mountable on the inside of the top of the form of sports utility vehicles, station wagons and hatchbacks. The rod rack retains a plurality of fishing rods securely and protected from damage while keeping the rods highly accessible. This rod rack is easily installed and removed and made of flexible materials so it can be rolled up and stored when not in use. The apparatus is mostly comprised of two carrier members, spaced apart at a desired distances and positioned, substantially parallel to each other across with width of a vehicles cab. The carrier holds fishing rods having a handle at one end and a rod tip at the opposite end.

Abstract: The present invention provides a personal double-sided terminal tackle holder for anglers that releasably retains a plurality of fishing hooks, artificial flies, lures and pre tied leader rigs which is generally carried in an angler's pocket or attached to an item of clothing, fishing vest or gear. The holder includes a generally flat rectangular base made of resilient materials where artificial flies and rigs are held by being slotted into or embedded into the base. The base has two exposed elongated ribs protruding outwards from both sides of the base, located towards both outer ends of the base. The ribs protect the tackle from being damaged or accidently dislodged from the device.

Abstract: A master key may be used by each participant in a secure communication. Indeed, each participant may select and encryption key from a distinct end of the master key. To eliminate a necessity for the end points in the secure communication to maintain a master key corresponding to every possible correspondent, the participants may communicate through an encryption server.
