  • Patent number: 10285380
    Abstract: A semi-hollow ball for pet play, including an outer shell having a plurality of perforations therethrough, a central inner core disposed in the perforated outer shell, and a plurality of elongate airflow structures extending disposed between, and extending from at least one of, the central inner core and the perforated outer shell. The elongate airflow structures are spaced apart from one another so as to form airflow passages therebetween. The airflow passages are in fluid communication with the perforations in the outer shell such when carried in the mouth of a pet, air passes into the ball through one or more of the perforations, through one or more of the airflow passages, and out of the ball through one or more of the perforations.

  • Patent number: 10283294
    Abstract: A method of plural conductive slots sharing an overheating destructive fixing element is disclosed, including a first conductive element, a second conductive element and an overheating destructive fixing element. The first conductive element includes a front end, a rear end, plural conductive slots, a connection portion and a contact portion. The conductive slots include a front end conductive slot and a rear end conductive slot, between which a control section is defined. The connection portion is disposed on the control section, and the contact portion connects the connection portion. The second conductive element contacts the contact portion by the overheating destructive fixing element, allowing the plural conductive slots to share the overheating destructive fixing element. Furthermore, when any one conductive slot reaches each own limiting working temperature respectively, the overheating destructive fixing element is destructed by reaching a pre-determined temperature.

  • Publication number: 20180373338
    Abstract: A gyroscopic motion feedback device utilizes one or more pairs of masses mounted on a common axis but independently rotatable to allow rapid variation of the gyroscopic force produced thereby. A sensor detects motion of the mount and a controller uses the detected motion to vary the relative rotational speed of the masses. The device provides haptic feedback where the mount is used to the control the interaction of an objection in a virtual environment, with the controller further varying the relatively rotational speed based on virtual interactions experienced by the object.
