The current inventive technology includes methods and apparatus for a multi-display system and methods of use thereof. In one embodiment, the present invention includes a multi-display coupler that may be used to support a plurality of displays, such as a helium-free balloons.

A receiver arrangement for receiving a wirelessly transmitted HF transmission signal includes a first conversion unit for converting the HF transmission signal into a baseband information signal. Furthermore, an extraction unit is provided for extracting IQ data from the baseband information signal. A second conversion unit converts the IQ data into a further transmission signal. Additionally, a transmitter is provided for wirelessly transmitting the further transmission signal to a consumer electronics receiver unit. For normal reception of the HF transmission signal, the consumer electronics receiver unit is provided with a first antenna arrangement for receiving the HF transmission signal, and further includes a first signal processing stage for converting the HF transmission signal into IQ data, which are comprised in the HF transmission signal, and a second signal conversion stage for processing the IQ data into an output information signal of the consumer electronics receiver unit.

An inflatable device, having an air flow path having a circumference and including an air diverter comprising a central motor receiver and a plurality of air deflectors extending radially from the motor receiver and located to define a plurality of air flow chambers surrounding the motor receiver; a motor mounted within the central motor receiver and having an output shaft rotatable by the motor and extending below the air diverter, the motor generating heat during use of the motor; a fan connected to the output shaft of the motor and located below the air diverter for rotating in response to rotation of the output shaft by the motor to generate a flow of air, the air diverter cooperating with the flow of air generated by the fan to create a turbulent air flow directed to flow through the air flow chambers and past the motor, the flow of air providing cooling to dissipate heat from the motor; and an inflatable body in flow communication with the air flow path and located above the air diverter for receiving the turbulent air flow. The inflatable body undulates in response to receiving the turbulent air flow.

A balloon comprises a printed display. The printed display comprises: a printed image layer; a blocking layer provided behind selected portions of the printed image layer; and a diffusion layer provided behind at least those portions of the printed image layer not backed by the blocking layer. The blocking layer acts to block illumination of portions of the printed image layer, such that the printed display provides a different appearance when lit primarily from inside the balloon to when lit primarily from outside the balloon.

This is an inflatable toroidal display cover with an exocentric rod (CT) comprising a cover (10) formed by an inflatable torus (11) configuring a flat central area (12) and an inflatable torus (11) conified with a larger diameter (d1) rear region (11A) and a smaller diameter (d2) opposite front region (11 B) and that in the rear region (11A) by the inner contour (ct1) includes a pair of upper and lower tether straps (11a1)/(11a2) that anchor profiles (21a)/(21b) of the stabilizer U fork (21) with a multi-angle joint (23) integral to the support rod (22) of the cover (10); and support rod (22) in the inner contour (ct1) configuring unobstructed flat central area (12); and rear region (11A) in balance; and tubular niche (11a3) and balanced counterweight (30); and anchorage spaced from the profiles (21a)/(21b) with vertical and horizontal stabilizing staging effect (V1)/(H); and stabilizing U-fork (21) with multi-angle joint (23); and compression points (p1/p2) of easy fastening; and consistent rigid support rod (22); and flat central area (12) and multi-angle joint (23) for printing and easy viewing; and frameable; and, yet, friendly to the touch; flat; compressible; wide view and access.

An illumination device may include, but is not limited to: a shell portion; and a light projection device disposed at least partially within the shell portion, the light projection device including: at least one light source operably couplable to a power source; and at least one diffraction grating configured to distribute a light beam generated by the at least one light source onto an interior surface of the shell portion.

The present invention is a cart, kiosk, booth, equipment, machine (or similar) of any design or construction, mobile or stationary, integrated with an inflatable & deflatable advertising/signage/display/identity element. Inflatable & deflatable advertising, signage, display (or similar) identity elements can be configured in any; form, shape, size, color, etc. and therefore the present invention integrates carts, kiosks, booths (or similar) with inflatable & deflatable advertising/identity elements to improve the design and fabrication of carts, kiosks, booths (or similar).

An identification tag comprising a display and a mechanical actuator is disclosed. A visual indication associated with a manufacturer is displayed by a display. The mechanical actuator comprises a reservoir to contain a fluid component. The mechanical actuator is connected to the display via a conduit.

The present invention is a cart, kiosk, booth, equipment, machine (or similar) of any design or construction, mobile or stationary, integrated with an inflatable & deflatable advertising/signage/display/identity element. Inflatable & deflatable advertising, signage, display (or similar) identity elements can be configured in any; form, shape, size, color, etc. and therefore the present invention integrates carts, kiosks, booths (or similar) with inflatable & deflatable advertising/identity elements to improve the design and fabrication of carts, kiosks, booths (or similar).

An inflatable ornament is disclosed, including an inflatable body. The inflatable body is surrounded by a membrane material, an inflatable fan is arranged on the inflatable body, the inflatable body expands after being inflated. A first swinging portion is arranged on the inflatable body, the first swinging portion is connected with the inflatable body, a swinging drive is arranged in the first swinging portion, and the swinging drive drives the first swinging portion to swing. A second swinging portion is connected with the inflatable body, the second swinging portion is connected with the first swinging portion via at least one connecting piece. When the first swinging portion swings, the first swinging portion drives the second swinging portion to swing via the connecting piece. The swinging structure is simple and is not easy to be damaged, thereby reducing the production cost and prolonging the service life of a product.
