Abstract: An apparel or material which may be placed anywhere or worn about the neck or other parts of the body of a human. The apparel/material has a structure that, when repositioned from about the wearer, will retain a position about a mouth and nose of the human, as by elasticity or taughtness of a wrapping about the face. The apparel is sufficiently porous as to allow a human to breath comfortably through the fabric when placed over the mouth and nose of the human. The fabric has as a coating is created with on at least the outer surface and through at least 25% of the thickness of the fabric a moisture-sensitive antimicrobial composition, wherein the antimicrobial moisture-sensitive composition comprises an antimicrobially active compound and a carrier, the carrier by hydrophilic and able to absorb sufficient moisture from exhaled breath from the human as to maintain a wet surface on the carrier to which viral particles will adhere more strongly than to a dry surface of the same carrier.

Abstract: A gaming apparatus having electronic input controls therein includes: a player input panel; a video display system; and a gaming processor. The player input panel may have a first input control specific to providing a command to the gaming processor and the player input panel. The command enables a second player input control on the player input panel. This second player input control is specific to alteration of game play so that physical activity at the player panel will enter commands to the gaming controller to execute gaming play without placing any economic value at risk during a demonstration period. The gaming processor allows the demonstration period to continue for only a predetermined time limit or event occurrence that does not result in resolution of a wager.
