Abstract: Disclosed herein is a novel toothbrush design and associated carrying case. In one embodiment the toothbrush may have a handle cylindrical in shape, and may break down into three separable sections, each joinable at threaded joints. One element may be configured to receive a removable bristle assembly. In one embodiment, the toothbrush elements may each be stored in separate compartments in the carrying case. The carrying case may also include a slidably extendible drawer configured to dispense floss. The carrying case may also include separate compartments for storing consumables such as toothpaste tablets and mouthwash tablets.

Abstract: An eating-utensil-system comprising a plurality of reusable, three-section, eating utensil devices, and a pocket-sized storage container configured to store these utensils in disassembled form. The utensil devices comprise a head portion, bridge portion, and a handle portion all configured to join together to assemble an eating utensil, or to be separated for easy transport. The head portions can be any of a spork, spoon, fork, knife, or chopstick head. The utensils are configured for multiple cycles of assembly, use, cleaning, disassembly, and storage/transport, and are typically made of metal or durable polymer. In some embodiments, the storage containers may be configured for the minimum size needed to store two disassembled chopstick utensils, or the minimum size needed to store a disassembled knife, fork, and spoon. The system is intended to be non-disposable system with a long lifetime, thus minimizing waste.

Abstract: Self-cleaning, odorless, and/or eco-friendly denim fabrics, including one or more implementations that are woven/knitted with silver bonded filaments or staple silver fibers or coated with anti-microbial and anti-odor treatment. In some embodiments, the strength of the anti-microbial and anti-odor properties may vary at the time of coating the fabric or at the time of weaving/knitting based on the ratio use of silver filament/staple silver fibers compared to the ratio of other yarns in the fabric.
