A changeable book system including a book chassis configured to receive a plurality of books. The book chassis includes one or more membrane switches aligned with identifier indicia located on one or more pages of a book when the book is positioned adjacent to the book chassis. A reader may activate one or more membrane switches by pressing the corresponding identifier indicia. Activation of a membrane switch causes the book chassis to perform a function and/or produce a sound.

Educational book covers including a spine, a cover member, and a pull mechanism. The cover member pivotally couples to the spine. The cover member has an outer face. The pull mechanism is attached to the outer face. The pull mechanism includes a track and a knob. The track is coupled to the outer face. The track defines fixed pull positions along the length of the track. The knob is complementarily configured with the track to selectively rest within the fixed pull positions. The cover member includes unique indicia aligned with each fixed pull position to identify and differentiate the fixed pull positions for educational purposes. More force is required to pivot the cover member relative to the spine by pulling the knob when the knob is selectively translated within the track closer to the spine than when the knob is selectively translated within the track farther from the spine.

A device for connecting two objects, especially for holding a writing instrument on a notebook or the like, with a clamping body having clamping arms extending across a narrow side, for example, of the notebook, which clamping body grips one of the objects in pliers-like fashion with its clamping arms and forms a holder for holding the other object, e.g., the writing instrument, parallel to the longitudinal direction of the narrow side. Mechanisms are provided to spread open the clamping arms.

A bound component has a front cover attached to a spine attached to a rear cover, a binding mechanism, and a binder extension attached to either cover. The binder extension folds inwardly in its closed position and has pockets. Also disclosed is a bound component having a front cover attached to a spine attached to a rear cover, a binding mechanism and one or more pockets attached to either cover. The pocket may have one or more closure flaps and may be expandable. Also disclosed is a folder having one or more bound edges and one or more free edges, one or more folder tabs extending from one or more free edges, and a plurality of pages bound to the folder. The pages may be bound to the folder using adhesive, string, staples or other attachment mechanisms. The folder may fit within a traditional file drawer.

The present application relates to a book with backlit pages. The book with backlit pages includes two shielding light-impermeable films (6) with cut-outs, to which light-permeable print layers (5) containing content graphics (51) are attached, between which a light-conducting fibre (4) is arranged, or the book with backlit pages includes a frame (1) having an internal shaped cut-out (2) with a frame opening (3) formed on the side thereof, in which a light-conducting fibre (4) is arranged which is attached to the internal portion of the frame, one back side of a light-permeable print layer (5) containing content graphics (51) is attached to the front face of the frame (1).

The present invention discloses a paper-based planning and journaling system. The system comprises a planner configured to enable recording of information on paper and with potential for transfer to a digital format and one or more control modules in communication with the planner and at least one server in communication with a database. The server is configured to receive planner data and external data of the user. The planner data includes schedule-related data, task-related data, notes-related data, priority related data of schedules and tasks, and preferences-related data, and the external data includes biofeedback data, neural feedback data, biometric data and environmental data. The server enables the planner to provide dynamic multi-sensory feedback for the schedules and tasks based on the planner data and the external data. The control module enables the user to control and customize automated conditions for multi-sensory feedback.
