Abstract: A toy projectile launching system that launches a toy projectile. The launcher has a handle. The handle is offset between two supports. A first arm element is coupled to the first support. A first elastic loop is anchored to the first arm element. The first elastic loop has a looped section that extends into an open area. A second arm element is coupled to the second support. A second elastic loop is anchored to the second arm element. The second elastic loop has a looped section that extends into the open area. The looped sections of the first elastic loop and the second elastic loop are spaced to receive and engage opposing hook elements on the toy projectile when the toy projectile is manually drawn through the open area.

Abstract: A toy bow assembly used to launch toy projectiles. The toy bow assembly has a rigid bow structure. The bow structure has a first arm section, a second arm section, and a central region. Two separate and distinct elastic elements are provided to launch a projectile. The first elastic element is anchored to the first arm section of the bow structure. A second elastic element is anchored to the second arm section. Both of the elastic elements terminate with loop structures that extend into the central region between the first and second arm sections. A toy projectile is provided that has extending hooks. The hooks on the projectile engage the loop structures of the elastic elements. When the projectile is drawn back, the elastic elements stretch and provide the spring energy needed to launch the projectile into flight when it is released.

Abstract: The invention include foam toys such as a slingshot, a bow, and a plane.

Abstract: The projectile toy includes an elongate projectile member having a body portion connected to a nose portion. The body portion has a rigidifying structure, and the nose portion is made of a unrigidified foam. A hook device is connected to the body portion near the nose portion. An elastomeric tether for engaging the hook device can be stretched and released causing the projectile member to launch with the nose portion in front.

Abstract: An improved computer security system including a portable, electronic Key, an Access Device with Touch Pad, a Lock, a Lock Server and Server Device, and a Master Device. The Access Device provides a means to validate the user to the Key. The Lock is physically located with, and connected to the host computer. Improved security is achieved through the use of "throw-away" passwords, which are generated in a random fashion by the Lock Server, and then loaded directly into volatile memory of Keys, but transferred to a Master Device for loading into volatile memory of Locks. These throw-away passwords are used in a process of cross validation between the Lock and Key, a requirement before access to the host computer is granted. A user specific "touch-print" provides a more secure and more user friendly way of preventing the use of Keys by unauthorized persons. Sensors, e.g., photosensors, within the Key, Lock and Master Device guard against physical attacks.

Abstract: A bubble producing toy which resembles a spinning baton. It includes a handle and a cross-member rotatably mounted on the handle. A liquid bubble solution is stored in a reservoir in the hub of the cross-member. A pair of oppositely extending arms form part of the cross-member. A bubble diffuser is attached to the outer end of one of the arms and an imitation bubble diffuser is attached to the outer end of the other arm. The bubble diffuser arm is hollow and functions as a conduit to deliver the liquid bubble solution to the diffuser. The diffuser has a rotating wand which is driven by the rotation of the cross-member relative to the handle. The wand wipes a film of liquid bubble solution across elongated openings in the bubble diffuser. Air passing through passages in the rotating wand and the bubble diffuser creates bubbles from the liquid bubble solution film.
