Abstract: A self-sanitizing stylus for use in combination with a touch screen device and method of using the same is disclosed. The self-sanitizing stylus comprises a body including a component retaining enclosure and longitudinal member. The longitudinal member has a body defined between a distal end with a touch tip disposed thereon, and a proximal end secured with an operative end of the component retaining enclosure. At least one ultraviolet radiation emitting device is disposed on the body. The component retaining enclosure includes a power source and switch connected between the power source, and the ultraviolet radiation emitting device, which when pressed establishes an electrical connection between the power source and the ultraviolet radiation emitting device, which emits UV radiation to disinfect the body or portion thereof.

Abstract: A toothbrush alarm consists of an alarm box located in the bedroom. It has an alarm such as a noisemaker, radio, light and/or voice chip saying “please brush your teeth.” In intermittent periods it is controlled ON and OFF by a battery powered alarm clock circuit built into a toothbrush. A wireless transmitter in the toothbrush sends the ON or OFF command to the alarm box. The alarm box will repeatedly remind the child to brush their teeth until it is turned off from the toothbrush. Thus, a child sets his alarm time on his toothbrush in the bathroom and leaves the toothbrush there. At wakeup time (or brushing time) the child must go to the bathroom, pick up the toothbrush, turn off the alarm, and (hopefully) brush his/her teeth.
