  • Patent number: 8287342
    Abstract: A media game that employs a method for randomly shuffling through a large set of video and/or audio clips stored on readable media using a media player, such as a DVD player, is disclosed. In addition to the readable media, the game also includes a game board, moveable play pieces, trivia question cards, random name cards, a numbered die, and a challenge die. The game board can be converted from long play to short play by lifting the endmost sections of the game board and placing them next to each other on top of intermediate sections of the game board. A path circumnavigates the game board and appears to be continuous in both long and short play modes. The begin and end regions reside at least partially on the endmost sections and appear as unbroken shapes when configured for both long and short play.

  • Patent number: 7286191
    Abstract: A dynamic display device is disclosed, that is adapted to be removably attached to the front of a conventional monitor, such as a television monitor. The device intercepts the light emitted by the monitor to produce an abstract, moving display. An opaque grid structure forms a plurality of channels, including peripheral channels that are open along at least one side. A translucent panel wraps about the grid structure, and diffuses the light, displaying the diffused light on both the front and on the sides of the display device. An attachment mechanism, such as suction cups or a reusable adhesive, attaches the device to the monitor. The dynamic display device may be constructed as a unitary, inflatable structure having an internal grid and translucent sides and front.
