Abstract: A shoe placard assembly includes a first stand piece, a second stand piece, and a placard piece that includes a surface for displaying information regarding a shoe, wherein: when unassembled, the first stand piece, the second stand piece, and the placard piece are each capable of lying substantially flat and are collectively capable of being stacked in a primary surface to primary surface manner to establish a first collective volume, and when assembled, the first stand piece, the second stand piece, and the placard piece form an in-shoe display that has a second collective volume, wherein the second collective volume is greater than the first collective volume.

Abstract: A water treatment system includes a container body and a container lid. The container body includes a buoyant section and a container mating section. The container lid includes a grasping unit and a lid mating section. The grasping unit grasps a water treatment chemical tablet via compression by a user without the user having direct contact with the water treatment chemical tablet. The lid mating section mates with the container mating section.

Abstract: A container lid with a finger entry section, a thumb entry section, a grasping section, and a mating section. The finger entry section includes a finger opening for receiving at least one finger of a hand. The thumb entry section includes a thumb opening for receiving a thumb of the hand. The grasping section is coupled to the finger entry section and the thumb entry section. The grasping section functions to grasp an item when compressed via the finger entry section and the thumb entry section and collectively prevent the finger(s) and the thumb from making direct contact with the item. The mating section is coupled to the finger entry section, the thumb entry section, and/or the grasping section and functions to mate the container lid with a container body.

Abstract: An apparatus comprises a container and an indicator. The container includes a section for containing a consumable resource. The consumable resource includes one or more of a dissolvable solid and a miscible liquid. The indicator physically changes position with respect to the container to indicate the amount of consumption of the consumable resource when the container is in an environment that causes the consumable resource to be consumed.

Abstract: The invention comprises an ultraviolet nightlight configured for illuminating walkways and/or for highlighting scorpions. In one embodiment, a nightlight is configured with an ultraviolet source. Photons emitted or radiated by the nightlight interact with a scorpion causing the scorpions to fluoresce. The fluorescing scorpion is readily observed by a human at night, thereby alerting the human and providing a measure of security and/or safety. The nightlight is optionally configured in the ultra violet and visible light range, with the visible component comprised predominantly of blue light. The emitted blue light is used to light or illuminate corridors and/or obstacles with a cool comforting color.
