Abstract: Disclosed is an attachment device including a bottle holder for sanitizing a portion of a stethoscope. The attachment device includes a bottle of a sanitizing liquid, and the bottle holder. The bottle holder includes at least two elongated fingers and an attachment member. The elongated fingers are spaced apart from each other and define an interior space configured for releasable receipt of the bottle. The bottle holder is configured so that the bottle can be readily inserted and removed from the interior space The attachment member is configured for mounting the bottle holder on the stethoscope.

Abstract: Disclosed are devices and methods for providing a sanitary surface for objects on an over-bed table like that found in hospitals, nursing homes, assisted living facilities, etc. The devices include a case in which a stack of sanitary mats is located. The case is configured to be mounted on the top of the table. The uppermost of the mats of the stack is exposed through an open top window of the case to serve as a sanitary surface upon which objects can be placed. That mat is configured to be removed from the case, e.g., either being peeled off of the stack through the open window, or slid out of the case through a slot, to thereby expose the upper surface of the underlying mat in the window.

Abstract: A system including a plurality of disposable bags, a dispenser for the bags and a method of use for accommodating a personal electronic device within each bag to isolate it from the ambient atmosphere is disclosed. Each of the bags includes a pair of panels of a flexible transparent material forming a hollow cavity or pocket having an open mouth through which the personal electronic device may be inserted. Each bag includes a flap for adhesively sealing the mouth of the bag with the device therein so that any pathogens on the device are sealed and isolated within the bag, and pathogens in the ambient atmosphere will not come in direct contact with the personal electronic device. The panels of the bag are frangible so that the bag can be torn open to remove the device, when desired. The dispenser is configured to dispense the bags one at a time.

Abstract: A coating, in particular a coating for a back side of a brake pad opposite a braking side, includes a pair of bonding layers and a composite layer. Each of the bonding layers includes an epoxy material. The composite layer is disposed between the pair of bonding layers, and includes a mixture of a rubber material and particles of a secondary material. A method for forming the coating includes coating a layer of epoxy onto the surface to be coated to form a first bonding layer, coating the mixture of the rubber material and particles of a secondary material onto the first bonding layer to form a composite layer, coating a layer of epoxy to the composite layer to form a second bonding layer, and then curing the coating via a curing process.

Abstract: A foot habiliment (1) that allows for easily interchanging an outer (5) with varying designs and features (4). The foot habiliment (1) takes no steps to conceal the fact that an interchangeable outer is being worn and does not take away from the functionality of the body (3) of the foot habiliment. The interchangeable outer (5) attaches to the foot habiliment (1) by a cord (21) threaded through a loop (23) on the foot habiliment (1), the ends of the cord (21) being attached to the respective edges of the outer (5). This arrangement allows the user to easily remove and replace the outer with another having a different design or decoration.
