Abstract: The invention, herein named Floor Mat for Life, relates to a mat, (FIG. 1) composed of either fabric, paper or other substrate, impregnated with antiseptic, antibiotic, germicidal, anti-viral and/or sanitary chemical compounds (hereafter “disinfectant compounds”). The mat, placed upon a horizontal surface, would provide an active, defensive barrier to the spread of germs and/or environmental contaminants. For example, to cover the floor before and/or partially surrounding a toilet thereby protecting the toilet users' shoes and clothing from contaminants, urine or feces. The underlying substrate may be either disposable (possibly biodegradable) or reusable (capable of cleaning and re-charging with the aforementioned disinfectant compounds). The mat could be provided in various sizes, colors, with or without images, patterns or printed messages.

Abstract: The invention, named herein as the T-Board, relates to a keyboard (FIG. 1) to be used as a computer peripheral for data entry. The preferred embodiment comprises a keyboard having mounted thereon a number of keys, the keyboard (FIG. 1) being formed as a single unit small enough to be handheld or “pocket sized”. The exact size of the unit could vary in order to accommodate design variations. The device would enable a user to utilize the device in a manner similar to “texting” on a cell phone (or similar), but this device would interface with a standard personal computer, laptop computer, etc. via an integrated Universal Serial Bus port (e.g. USB/USB 2.0) (FIG. 2). The use of this device would provide myriad benefits to the user in simplification of the “typing” or input process, reduction in the type of injuries commonly associated with common keyboards and numerous environmental benefits to the user, the work or study location, and the planetary environment as a whole.
