Abstract: A light film apparatus having an illuminated graphics panel with at least two segments that can be individually powered. A controller manages a power which is delivered from a power supply to each of the segments, so that each of the segments is either powered on, powered off or powered to an intermediate level. With the independent control of power to the different segments, it is possible to create a three-dimensional appearance of a moving image from a generally two-dimensional panel arrangement.

Abstract: A light film apparatus that can be used to display static any/or dynamic graphics on an illuminated graphics panel. The illuminated graphics panel can be mounted in or near a window of a vehicle, a building or the like. Any one or more sensors can detect a condition and communicate a sensed signal to a control module. The control module processes each sensed signal and emits one or more output signals, as a function of each sensed signal, to operate the illuminated graphics panel. The illuminated graphics panel can be an electroluminescent display device. A light film apparatus of this invention can be easily installed into any suitable environment. The different sensors and the particular programming can be used to provide a user-friendly device that efficiently manages power required to drive the light film apparatus.

Abstract: A video gaming system including a primary monitor having a first screen for displaying at least one community video graphic. A portable game module is operatively connected to the primary monitor. The video gaming system also includes a plurality of hand controllers. Each hand controller is in independent operational communication with the game module, and includes a secondary monitor for displaying at least one private video graphic. In one preferred embodiment of this invention, each hand controller includes a cloaking device activatable to reveal the at least one private video graphic.

Abstract: A projectile plush toy including a body portion having a mass and a first extendible link. The first extendible link having a forward end portion and a rearward end portion. The rearward end portion connected to the body portion. The first extendible link extendible between a first position and a second position. In the second position, the forward end portion defines a first release point and the first extendible link biases the body portion towards the forward end portion. In the second position, a major mass portion of the plush toy is positioned at the rearward end portion of the first extendible link. In one preferred embodiment of this invention, the projectile plush toy further includes a second extendible link having a forward end portion and a rearward end portion connected to the body portion. The second extendible link is extendible between a first position and a second position.
