Breakable multi-compartment structure
A multi-compartment structure includes a central container that is independently fillable, sealable, and breakable from each of a plurality of fillable structures that are affixed to the central container. The multi-compartment structure is suspended from a suspension point by a suspension system including at least one supporting element and at least one suspending element. The multi-compartment structure may be used in a party game setting in which the multi-compartment structure is filled with novelty items, and a force is applied to the multi-compartment structure to break open each of the plurality of fillable compartments and the central container independently of one another to release the novelty items contained therein.

Customizable light-up device
An apparatus that includes a housing containing a motor that is electrically connected to a power source. An enclosed motorized assembly is connected to the housing and contains secure points located in an outer surface thereof and LEDs therein. An object is affixed to the motorized assembly and contains insertion points. A slip ring is secured around a motor shaft of the motor and electrically connects to a first conductive plate that is secured within the housing. The first conductive plate is further electrically connected to the LEDs. A second conductive plate is electrically connected to the motor shaft and the LEDs. A plurality of extension elements include a first and second end, wherein the first end is secured to the secure points and the plurality of extension elements radiate or transmit light from the LEDs.
NOVELTY GIFT - CAT IN THE BOX
The present invention is a novelty gift that includes a power supply such as a DC voltage source, a motor with an eccentric loading that can cause a shimmy or vibration when operated, an audio card or sound player with speaker to emit a recorded sound, and a processor that can receive a proximal wireless signal and actuate the motor and audio card simultaneously or sequentially. The device includes a small remote device that can be preferably hidden in the palm of a hand, and can activate the device with the press of a button on the remote. Once activated, the motor will produce vibrations that are transferred to the box itself, while the audio card emits sounds through the speaker simulating an animal.

Bi-stable jumping toy and its associated method of operation
A bi-stable jumping toy that can be operated individually or with other jumping toys in a cascading chain. The toy has a first segment and a second segment that are joined in a scissor configuration. An elastic band extends between the first segment and the second segment. The elastic band biases the toy into the second configuration. However, the first segment and the second segment can be manually rotated into the stable first configuration. In the first configuration, the elastic band is stretched across the pivot axis and provides no rotational bias to either the first segment or the second segment. The toy is triggered by rotating the first segment and/or the second segment only slightly out of the first configuration. Once moved, the spring energy in the elastic band releases and the toy rapidly moves into its second configuration.
DEVICES, SYSTEMS, AND METHODS FOR DISTRIBUTED GAME ARCHITECTURE
Devices, systems, and methods of the present disclosure are directed to providing a Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) based distributed games that allows two or more teams of players to develop mathematical and problem-solving skills. Game controllers allow each team to submit a number to a game device that performs one or more arithmetic operations on the set of numbers to compute a guess that is compared to a puzzle solution. If the guess equals the puzzle solution prior to a timer time period expiring, then the players win a reward, such as deploying a shower of confetti, providing candy, display of lights, conspicuous sounds, vibrations, and/or the like.
Drone interceptor system, and methods and computer program products useful in conjunction therewith
A system operative to down a target drone having propellers deployed along a perimeter p, comprising a processor-controlled interceptor drone bearing a processor-controlled flexible elongate intercepting agent cannon and an onboard camera; and an onboard processor to receive sensed wind conditions and to a firing distance d, between interceptor and target drones, given a firing angle A, and wherein the processor is configured to track the target drone using imagery generated by the onboard camera including at least once, when said wind conditions exist, guiding the interceptor drone to a firing position whose distance from the target drone is d, and commanding the cannon to fire at firing angle A, once said firing position is achieved, thereby to use the flexible elongate intercepting agent to down target drones.
