A drink coaster configured to be converted into a stand. The drink coaster includes a flat sheet of material including a first preferential fold line extending across the flat sheet of material between a first panel of the flat sheet of material and a second panel of the flat sheet of material, and a second preferential fold line extending across the flat sheet of material between the second panel of the flat sheet of material and a third panel of the flat sheet of material. The flat sheet of material is configured to be folded along the first preferential fold line and along the second preferential fold line to convert the drink coaster into a stand for an electronic device.

A changeable placemat system is provided. The changeable placemat system may have a rigid unit and at least one flexible unit wherein the flexible unit may be selectively and temporarily inserted over the rigid unit for display and protection. As a result, a user may select between flexible units having various ornamental designs. The present device allows for both easy cleaning of a placemat as well and allowing a user to select different patterns to display on the placemat.

A battery-powered light can be installed in a punt of a bottle during manufacture and then turned on at use. The battery-powered light includes a skid pad that is free of adhesive. A battery insulator pull tab overlies the skid pad and can be removed even after adhering the light assembly to the bottle. The battery insulator pull tab prevents the battery of the light assembly from discharging before being needed. The skid pad prevents adhesive from sticking to the insulator pull tab, thereby making it otherwise unremovable.

Trays for tray tables that prevent liquid spilled on a top surface of the trays from spreading over edges of the trays. A casing having a top surface with at least one aperture through the top surface, a receptacle within the casing positioned below the aperture in the top surface configured to receive an absorbent pad that can be removably positioned in the receptacle below the aperture to be in communication with the top surface of the tray. Spilled liquids can be guided toward the aperture in the top surface and absorbed in the absorbent pad within the casing. The absorbent pad may be a superabsorbent material. The top surface can have a superhydrophobic coating.

A method for producing a recyclable molded product is provided. The method includes injecting a coffee ground amalgam into a mold, injecting the coffee ground amalgam with a mycelium, incubating the molded coffee ground amalgam injected with the mycelium for a period of time, and dehydrating the molded coffee ground amalgam injected with the mycelium at a set temperature.

Systems and methods are provided to detect a developed bad word-line of a flash memory. Embodiments provide an improved Background media scan (BGMS) process that can predict at the end of a block read if a word-line will potentially become bad with the use of the flash memory. Accordingly, data from the potentially bad block can be recovered and the block can be retired. The embodiments can minimize the need for the expensive chip-kill method.

This is a drink coaster which incorporates a mechanical means to expel condensation collected from a cold drink that is supported by the coaster. This coaster compromises an injection molded non fragile plastic top surface with a plurality of drain holes, a highly porous insert in the middle and a base recessed for the insert and extra condensation that may be collected from the beverages. The base snaps into the top surface which allows this coaster to be disassembled for easy cleaning or for the insert to be replaced. This disassembly of the coaster allows a more effective way of cleaning the coaster thoroughly to prevent mold or musty odors with its use. The mechanical portion of the coaster allows pushing upwards from the bottom of coaster which contacts the insert to expel excess condensation out thru the drain holes at the top of the coaster.
