  • Publication number: 20240075397
    Abstract: An interactive toy system includes a barrel forming an internal space capable of holding a figurine, and a bottle forming an enclosure to house the barrel. An inter-wall space is formed between the barrel and the bottle for holding a liquid. The wall of the bottle and the wall of the barrel are configured to have opaque portions. The opaque portions of the barrel wall and the bottle wall are initially oriented to block the user's view inside the barrel. When ingredients are added to the inter-wall space with water, a liquid of opaque color is created. Then the barrel is rotated and an ingredient or material (e.g., liquid, powder, etc.) is mixed with the liquid to clarify the liquid revealing the figurine inside the internal space. The ingredient or material can further create a fizz in the inter-wall space.

  • Patent number: 11911796
    Abstract: A package sort cell includes a robot with an end of arm tool for transporting packages from an in-feed conveyor to a selected one of a plurality of out-feed conveyors or bins, the robot receiving instruction from the package reader as to which of the plurality of conveyors or bins to hand-off the package. An end of arm tool may be in the configuration of a conveyor which may be aligned with the out-feed conveyor on a bottom up movement. The end of arm tool may also be in the configuration of a hanging carriage frame suspending a conveyor in a top down movement. A worker platform may be provided which may be movable between in-use and out-of-use positions whereby upon robot downtime, the platform may move into the in-use position for a worker to temporarily takeover the transfer functions of the robot. A plurality of sort cells may be arranged in side by side relation adjacent a like plurality of package delivery points (e.g.

  • Publication number: 20240058713
    Abstract: An interactive toy system is shown and described. The toy system includes a double walled flask adapted to be connected to a base forming an internal space capable of holding an object or a figurine. When an empty space between the double walls is filled with an opaque fluid, it gives the player the impression that the whole flask is filled with such fluid. The toy system includes a smoke generating system, light emitting LEDs and a speaker. During the controlled play process, ingredients are added to an isolated fluid chamber on top of the flask. The operation and the special effects from the smoke, the sound, the light, and the phenomenon in the fluid chamber gives the impression that the creature is being created inside the opaque flask. When the process is concluded and the fluid in the flask is drained, the figurine inside the flask is revealed.

  • Patent number: 11650726
    Abstract: Systems and methods for manipulating a graphical user interface (GUI) are described. The GUI is configured to show, to a user, a transition from displaying an inline card to displaying a corresponding snackbar. The system uses an overlay to seamlessly show the transition without requiring significant edits to most portions of the GUI. In various implementations, a system displays an inline card in a base layer of a GUI and receives an input associated with the inline card. In response to receiving the input, the system generates a transitional object in an overlay of the GUI (with the overlay displayed over the base layer), generates a snackbar in the base layer, adjusts the transitional object in the overlay from covering the inline card to covering where the snackbar is generated, and removes the transitional object from the GUI.

  • Publication number: 20220149298
    Abstract: Photoactive compounds are disclosed. The disclosed compounds can exhibit molecular structural elements tending to increase the evaporability of the compounds, such as by including geometric core disruption by use of conformationally restricted side groups instead of freely rotatable side groups or use of indandione moieties instead of dicyanomethyleneindanone moieties. The disclosed photoactive compounds include those with an imine-bridging linking moiety, which can shift the optical properties to a more red-shifted absorbance as compared to compounds with an alkene-bridging linking moiety. The disclosed photoactive compounds can be used in organic photovoltaic devices, such as visibly transparent or opaque photovoltaic devices.
