    摘要: A boot scraper of novel design and shape and incorporating a novel boot scraping surface that can be mounted to, or incorporated in, skiing implements such as skis and snowboards, as well as ski boot bindings, snowboard boot bindings, and ski boots and snowboard boots. In one embodiment, the boot scraper comprises an elongated polygonal molded rigid ABS plastic block that is mounted to the top surface of a ski. The block is mounted to the ski by an adhesive or by mechanical fasteners such as screws. The top surface of the boot scraper incorporates a two-dimensional grid of adjacent polyhedrons extending in an upward direction. The tips of the polyhedrons form a scraping surface consisting of a multi-dimensional array of spaced, generally rigid pointed surfaces. The underside of the block contains hollowed out cavities that reduce weight but maintain strength and rigidity of the block. The scraper is used by drawing the sole of the ski boot to be cleaned over the scraper. The array of pointed surfaces forming the scraping surface quickly and omnidirectionally removes snow and foreign matter from the bottom of the boot.

    摘要: A system and method for the purchase of products, wherein a database account is credited with virtual coupons. Each virtual coupon is associated with a maximum value and a specified product. When a purchase is made, the coupon is debited from the account upon presentation of a financial card at a POS terminal, and any difference between the maximum value of the coupon and the actual purchase price is stored in the database. In one embodiment, coupons are issued through a government benefits program, such as the federally funded WIC (Women, Infants, Children) program. The financial card may also be associated with a second account, such as a credit or debit card account. The second account may be used to purchase products other than those specified by the virtual coupons.
