  • Circuit for initiating conductive liquid droplet motion in a switch
    Patent number: 7492065
    Abstract: A circuit for actuating a switch includes a conductive liquid switch comprising a conductive liquid droplet and a control processor configured to receive a switching signal and configured to provide at least one actuation pulse to the conductive liquid droplet to initiate movement of the conductive liquid droplet based on a duration of a time period between the switching signal and a preceding switching signal.

  • Playsets with pop-up structures
    Publication number: 20080081536
    Abstract: Playsets are disclosed. The playsets may include a support surface and a pop-up structure. The pop-up structure may be adapted to be selectively transitioned between a stowed configuration and a deployed configuration. In the stowed configuration the pop-up structure may be collapsed and may extend along the support surface. In the deployed configuration the pop-up structure may stand substantially transverse to the support surface.
