              38. Eldridge illustrates an embodiment of the invention in Figure 1,                  
              shown below:

              39. According to Eldridge, the receiver comprises a backing pad 1 formed              
              of a porous plastic material that is soft readily foldable.  (Eldridge at 2: 46–      
              51.)                                                                                  
              40. Eldridge further describes magnets 2 that are placed on pad 1 as being            
              polarized so one pole contacts the pad while the other pole is exposed.               
              (Eldridge at 2: 66 to 3: 2.)
