A covering module for installation on a subsurface and for attachment to additional modules to form a finished decorative surface is provided. The covering module comprises a decorative covering that is detachably or permanently attached to an anchor sheet. The covering module is configured so as to expose a joining region of the decorative covering and a joining region of the anchor sheet.

This invention relates to a printed textile substrate, such as a floorcovering article, and a process for making a printed textile substrate. The printed textile substrate contains areas of low viscosity printing ink and high viscosity printing ink. The process for making the textile substrate includes a one pass manufacturing step that results in a textile substrate having areas of low viscosity and high viscosity printing inks.

The anti-slip mat includes a covering layer and a structural layer. The covering layer is formed with a plurality of apertures. The structural layer has a predetermined thickness and has a plurality of through holes extending vertically. The covering layer is disposed on a top face of the structural layer. The apertures communicate the through holes. The structural layer is weaved by a water-proofing fiber to form a three-dimensional structure. Each aperture has an internal diameter smaller than an internal diameter of each through hole.

The floor mat contains a main piece with a number of first interlocking elements configured along a circumference of the main piece at intervals. Each first interlocking element contains a protrusion and a gap. The main piece also has a number of corner elements, each configured at a corner of the circumference. A hollow frame member is for the embedment of the main piece and has a number second interlocking elements matching the first interlocking elements along an inner circumference of the frame member. Each corner of the frame member has two perpendicular cuts end-to-end connected together and a slant cut running through a joint of the perpendicular cuts. As such, the floor mat can be pieced together in all directions, regardless of which side is up. The frame members can have their corners adjusted and fit on the main pieces to conceal their exposed interlocking elements.

A payment facilitating and processing system includes a payment terminal. The payment terminal includes a processor and a first receiver. The first receiver is configured to communicate with the processor. The payment facilitating and processing system further includes a second receiver, which is also configured to communicate with the processor. The payment facilitating and processing system still further includes a mobility assistance device including a transmitter. The transmitter is configured to receive payment information from a payment apparatus and transmit the payment information to the second receiver upon positioning of the transmitter in close proximity to the second receiver.

A system and method of training or modifying the behavior of pets and, in particular, dogs is disclosed and may include using scratch-resistant protector having adhesive and/or additive to protect the integrity of a door or other object. The adhesive may generally provide a securing or coupling relationship between an object and protector. The additive may provide a material that canines find unpleasant to smell, taste, touch, and/or scratch. In some implementations, the additive may be reapplied (e.g., if it wears off and/or otherwise diminishes in strength, quantity, quality, and/or overall effectiveness).

An apparatus has an ergonomic-device support assembly including a stationary frame assembly configured to be received and selectively positioned underneath a desk relative to a user. The ergonomic-device support assembly is configured to receive and support an ergonomic device. This is done in such a way that the ergonomic device is selectively movable relative to the user of the desk between an extended-deployment position and a retracted-storage position.
