Abstract: A Computer System that protects itself from Malware by assuring the security of critical software elements including but not limited to Operating Systems, Applications and I/O Drivers. These critical software elements cannot be altered by Malware during normal operation of the Computer especially when connected to the Internet, the primary vehicle for malware. When deviating from normal computer operation such as downloading updated Operating Systems or secured Applications, this invention erases or blocks all memory that could possibly be contaminated with Malware from affecting the critical software elements. This invention is unique because the Malware protection is invoked and implemented by hardware not alterable by any software, or dependent on understanding existing or new Malware.

Abstract: The toothbrush head of the present invention is designed to conform to teeth surfaces by equalizing bristle pressure longitudinally. There is an elastomeric field, populated with bristles, that is allowed to flex within a rigid perimeter frame. The frame is bonded to a rigid top member which is an extension of the toothbrush handle. A bristle pressure equalizing device adjusts the longitudinal shape of the bristles by sensing and equalizing the pressures on the elastomeric field and bristles. This equalization of bristle pressures applies to convex and concave teeth surfaces. In four embodiments, the bristle pressure equalizing device is a confined mobile substance located in the elastomeric field or in bladders between the top of the elastomeric field and the underside of the top member of the head. Initial bristle pressure pushes the elastomeric field toward the equalizing device which transfers the mobile substance longitudinally to bristle regions of less pressure, thus equalizing bristle pressures.

Abstract: A hand rest for mounting on an easel, the hand rest being easily adjusted using only the artist's painting hand, The hand rest includes a cradle having a mounting block retainer and carrying a vise, a mounting cube, a rotating shaft carried by the mounting cube, a positioning assembly carried by the rotating shaft, a support shaft received within the positioning assembly, and a palm rest carried by the support shaft. The hand rest is designed such that the mounting cube may be received within the cradle in one of five orientations to facilitate mounting the hand rest in an equal number of positions on an easel. The rotating shaft is biased toward the mounting cube and bearing surface is disposed therebetween in order to make rotation of the rotation shaft difficult. However, when the artist pulls back on the support shaft, the rotating shaft is pulled away from the bearing surface and is then freely rotated.
