Abstract: Systems for displaying an image on a mouse pad are disclosed. A system for displaying an image on a mouse pad may include a processor and a mouse pad. The mouse pad may include a top surface and an electric writeable medium. The top surface is a surface configured to enhance the usability of a computer mouse that is disposed above the electric writeable medium. The electric writeable medium is in operable communication with the processor and is configured to display an image.

Abstract: A printing plate suitable for retaining ink in an imagewise fashion on a main surface thereof defines an array of pixel-sized cavities. Each cavity has associated therewith a quantity of a light-induced shape-memory polymer. When a cavity is exposed with energy, such as from an imaging laser, the quantity of polymer changes shape and/or position, thereby allowing a relatively greater quantity of ink to be retained in the cavity. The printing plate is then inked, to from a transferable image. The apparatus as a whole enables a gravure-like printing plate to be repeatedly imaged using digital image data.

Abstract: A removable memory media, such as a compact disk, has an alterable alphanumeric display thereon. The display comprises an array of elements, such as bichromal balls, which can be selectably altered in appearance. A head associated with a port for accepting the disk creates images in the display when the disk is ejected from the port, thus allowing the disk to be automatically labeled incidental to use.

Abstract: A removable memory media, such as a floppy disk or videocassette, has an electrically alterable display thereon. The display comprises an array of electrically alterable elements which can be selectably altered in appearance without the need for ancillary circuitry on the floppy disk or videocassette.
