Abstract: A graphic display assembly includes a base having a top surface, a bottom surface and a plurality of spaced-apart holes extending through the base between the top surface and the bottom surface. A pillar extends from the top surface of the base and has at least one elongated channel. A sign has a portion that is held by the at least one elongated channel and a remaining portion extending outwardly from the pillar. The sign includes a bottom edge that is spaced apart from the top surface of the base.
Abstract: A greeting card which includes a greeting card body and a flying disc removably attached thereto. A sound module and motion sensor are contained within the flying disc. The sound module contains one or more audio clips contained thereon and is operative to replay the one or more audio clips through a speaker. The motion sensor triggers the audio playback upon the flying disc being tossed or thrown through the air by a user.
Abstract: Disclosed are embodiments of photo-luminescent display systems and photo-luminescent visual elements creating eye-catching displays of visual advertising or marketing messages that are very effective at generating interest, engagement, and loyalty in the viewing public. Photo-luminescent pigment containing visual elements are illuminated by one or more remotely located emitters at a first wavelength that is outside the human visual spectrum. In response, the visual elements then radiate at one or more wavelengths within the human visual spectrum. Additional features control unwanted reflections and unwanted transmission of radiation at the first wavelength. Additional features control the uniformity of radiation of one or more wavelengths within the human visual spectrum.

Abstract: For multiple viewing angle media support, and apparatus includes three support sides. Each support side includes a back support and an edge support. A top of each back support is in physical communication with an adjacent edge support clockwise about a central axis and each back support and each edge support is in physical communication with two ends of a solid interior. Each back support, each edge support, and each end is a surface of the solid interior, the solid interior is a pillow covered in fabric, a first viewing angle of the first back support is 36 degrees, a second viewing angle of the second back support is 74 degrees, and a third viewing angle of the third back support is 49 degrees.
Abstract: The present invention is directed to various embodiments of a greeting card having at least one motor attached to a mechanism which causes movement to a mobile object and one or more attachments suspended from the mobile object. The mobile object may be a circular disc, a string or a swing structure. Each mobile object contains one or more attachments either attached directly thereto or suspended therefrom via a string or line. The motor may effect various movements in the mobile object such as circular motion, back-and-forth motion or bouncing or vibrating motion.
Abstract: A sign is combined with an electrical outlet plate which can mount near or to existing electrical infrastructure to provide information such as direction toward an exit. A protruding and/or outwardly visible surface of the sign may be painted or adorned with a sign appliqué, and can be illuminated and/or photoluminescent to provide maximum visibility with or without electrical power. Advantageously, the sign can be mounted at electrical outlets and/or electrical switches that are near the floor and away from the ceiling, such that the sign remains visible even when lines of sight within a building are impaired, such as from smoke. In one exemplary embodiment, the sign is integrated into a portion of a standard-sized duplex cover plate, which can be mounted to an existing electrical junction box to preserve the functionality of adjacent electrical outlets or switches.
Abstract: A two-in-one colored and translucent film structure suitable for use in backlit displays having a multi-point illumination source. The film structure utilizes a colored layer and a light-diffusing layer that reduces variations in the amount of light transmitted through different areas of a backlit sign. The light-diffusing layer includes light-diffusing particles dispersed in a transparent matrix material, and scatters light transmitted therethrough. The light-diffusing particles have an index of refraction that is different than an index of refraction of the matrix material.
