A photoluminescent writing pad, wherein a) the writing pad is fastened to a back cover of a notebook and arranged to be turned to a writing pad of a page of the notebook, b) the writing pad is arranged to gleam through a writing page thus enabling reading and writing in darkness and c) the writing pad has notches for accommodating a spiral wire, especially spiral or wire or similar binding, of a notebook for securing the writing pad under the page of the notebook to function as an interleaf.

A re-useable writing surface reusably and removably coupled to exterior surfaces is disclosed. The re-useable writing surface may include a porous layer. The porous layer may define one or more cells. The re-usable writing surface may further include a non-adhesive coating applied to a side of the porous layer. The re-usable writing surface may further include a writeable layer coupled to a different side of the porous layer. The writeable layer may be configured to allow a user to draft and erase content. The non-adhesive coating can enable the re-useable writing surface to reusably and removably couple to exterior surfaces.

In various embodiments, a transparent hinged substrate apparatus integrated into a portable computer may address common deficiencies associated with space limitations on student desktop surfaces. The transparent hinged substrate apparatus may utilize, in some embodiments, a transparent substrate that is positioned between the display side and the keypad side of a portable computer. The transparent hinged substrate apparatus may be movable into multiple positions including one position that covers the keypad side of the portable computer without touching any of the keys of the keypad. Thus, the keypad surface may now be used as a work surface using the same physical space occupied by the portable computer.

A method, system and apparatus for media storage is described. In one embodiment, an apparatus for storing media units has a housing having a lid and a base. The base has a plurality of receptacles. Each of the plurality of receptacles has a plurality of walls. A first writing surface is coupled to the housing.

A tablet-like device is configured to have a slightly negative buoyancy and to hold a sheet of waterproof synthetic paper, or another removable, waterproof recording sheet, onto which notes or messages or sketches can be recorded via a writing implement, in an underwater or marine environment, or another extreme or severe environment. Since the tablet device is configured for use of sheets of waterproof synthetic paper, divers can work with their own personal pre-printed material underwater. Further, the tablet device also has the advantages of cost savings and reduced environmental impact.

Disclosed is a writing board attached to a surface for receiving notes or instructions from a user. The writing board includes vinyl foam, a flexible coating, and an adhesive layer. The writing board further includes a second temporary backing film. The vinyl foam includes a top surface and a microscopic cavernous surface. The flexible coating is coated on one of the microscopic cavernous surface to render the vinyl foam air-tight. The temporary backing film covers the microscopic cavernous surface coated with the flexible coating. A user peels off the temporary backing film to firmly attach the vinyl foam to the surface. The erase film is attached to the top surface of the vinyl foam. The erase film allows the user to write and erase content. The adhesive layer attaches the erase film to the top surface of the vinyl foam.

The present invention generally relates to a modular erasable writing panel configured to interconnect with a surface prepared with mounting units. The mounting units provide an interface between a multi-sided modular erasable writing panel and another surface such as a wall, cabinet, or other surface. The writing panel is configured to provide multiple erasable writing surfaces configured to interconnect without adhesive to the mounting units wherein repeated dismounting of the erasable writing surface does not debilitate the adhesive bond between the mounting units and the existing surface. The mounting unit provide micro-suction elements configured to removably interconnect the writing panel with the mounting unit repeatedly without diminishing the holding bond between the mounting unit and the writing panel.

A multifunctional illuminated lighting pad is an apparatus that enables a user to write with one hand, rather than requiring a hand to hold a clipboard or writing surface and another hand to write down information. The apparatus provides a mechanism by which to secure to a user, thus preventing difficulty or danger resulting from a loose clipboard. An illumination source provides ample light, allowing the user to read and write in otherwise poorly-lit areas. A portion of the opaque backing may be secured to a user's pocket and molded to the rough curvature of a leg. An exposed portion of a backing surface holds a writing surface, an LED, and a clip. A thumb-pull cut allows the user to insert or remove a reference sheet from between the plexiglass front plate and the backing, thus allowing the user to refer to information behind the plexiglass front plate while writing.

A re-useable writing surface reusably and removably coupled to exterior surfaces is disclosed. The re-useable writing surface may include a porous layer. The porous layer may define one or more cells. The re-usable writing surface may further include a non-adhesive coating applied to a side of the porous layer. The re-usable writing surface may further include a writeable layer coupled to a different side of the porous layer. The writeable layer may be configured to allow a user to draft and erase content. The non-adhesive coating can enable the re-useable writing surface to reusably and removably couple to exterior surfaces.
