Abstract: A portable filter container for manually transporting large quantities of a liquid is described. The container includes an extendible handle that allows for easy transportation of the container on a set of wheels. The handle also actuates a pump to provide pressure to the inside of the container in order to force the liquid through a filter. The handle can actuate the pump either using a piston or a lever motion.

Abstract: A filter cartridge and filter for a water bottle is presented. The filter cartridge has a top member with an inwardly sloped exterior surface and at least one opening. The top member is removeably coupled with a bottom member to form an enclosure for housing a filter. The bottom member also has an opening or inlet to allow water to pass through the filter cartridge. The filter cartridge also has an outer rim with a seal (e.g., a sealing ring, etc.). The filter can comprise a frustoconical shaped portion.

Abstract: A method and an apparatus for communicating data to a remote device, the apparatus comprising a keyboard having a plurality of keys. The lower surface of the keyboard is attached to an object along at least a portion of the lower surface of the keyboard. The object is adapted for providing a cushioned region between the keyboard and a resting-place. The remote device comprises at least one of a personal computer (PC), television (TV), an organizer, cable box, satellite receiver, and radio or stereo equipment. The resting-place is typically a portion of a human body, such as a lap or thigh region, or palm(s) of a hand(s). The keyboard communicates to the remote device via a wired or wireless link to allow use at home, hotel, or office.
