Abstract: The present disclosure relates to motion enhanced sign apparatuses and methods for providing information such as advertising using a motion enhanced sign apparatus.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are cables, cable systems, security systems, and detection components. According to an implementation, a cable may have a first portion and a second portion. The second portion may be further distant from a central axis of the cable than the first portion. The second portion is configured to provide notification when the second portion has been damaged or severed. The second portion may be a sheath and the first portion a pre-existing or conventional cable or wire such that the sheath provides notification when the sheath has been damaged or severed prior to the underlying cable or wire being damaged or severed.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are conduits and systems. According to an implementation, a conduit may have a conduit layer and one or more detection components within the conduit layer. The one or more detection components are configured to detect when the conduit is damaged. The conduit may be provided upon or within a pre-existing conduit component such that the conduit provides notification when the conduit has been damaged or severed prior to the conduit component being damaged or severed.

Abstract: A device is provided comprising a body, at least one fluid reservoir supported by the body, at least one drawing mechanism supported by the body and in fluid communication with the fluid reservoir, which delivers liquid from the liquid reservoir to the surface of the body through one or more apertures in the device. The liquid can be deposited onto an object by contacting that object with the device. Set or games comprising the device are also provided.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method of transferring data from a drawing device, which while utilizing a position-coding pattern, printed on a physical page, digitally records handwritten information, to an application in a computer system. The drawing device transfers recorded data to a memory in the computer system. A registering unit in the system determines from which part of the position-coding pattern the recorded data originates and activates, on the basis thereof, one or more applications which are registered as “subscribers” to data from this part of the pattern. When an application is activated and thus informed of the existence of new data relevant to the application, the application fetches this data. The fetching of data can be made on the basis of the contents of a page-describing file which defines the layout of the physical page.

Abstract: A device for launching a projectile without using stored energy is provided. The device comprises a body, and a direct activation launching mechanism supported by the body, comprising a striking member, optionally a bias element exerting force on the striking member in the direction away from the projectile and configured such that release of any stored energy in the bias member is not transferred to the projectile in a manner which launches the projectile, and a plunger that, upon application of force by a user, engages the striking member and directly transfers the force exerted by the user to the projectile.
