The herein disclosed invention pertains to a system for stacking pre-shaped signage components into a multi-level single message configuration. The signage components have vertical flutes alignable with vertical flutes in a contiguous signage component, and the signage components also have markings to facilitate alignment with the contiguous signage component. Connecting elements fit into the vertical flutes in contiguous vertical signage components to secure the signage components together. This allows the contiguous vertical signage components to align, thereby creating an image of the multi-level message.

An intelligent cone comprises a base; a cone section; at least one light; a 360 degree motion sensing system; a fan; and at least one hardware processor; and one or more software modules that are configured to, when executed by the at least one hardware processor, receive information from the sensing system indicating that a person is approaching the intelligent cone, activate the at least one light as a warning to the approaching person, and operate the fan to dry a spill or moisture that is creating a safety issue.

A billboard which is formed as a dasher board (600) and adapted for use in a video content replacement system (400) is described. The dasher board (600) comprises at least one non-visible radiation source (604) arranged to emit non-visible radiation toward a light guide plate (602). The light guide plate (602) is arranged to distribute the non-visible radiation over the light guide plate (602) and radiate the non-visible radiation away from the dasher board (600). An area of the light guide plate (602) over which non-visible light is distributed from is correlated to an area of the dasher board (600) which is to be replaced in the video content replacement system (400). There is also described is a billboard (700) similarly adapted for use in a video content replacement system (400) and which comprises an electronic display, as well as a method of retrofitting an existing billboard (10) ready for use in a video content replacement system (400).

Disclosed are freestanding displays of packaged consumer products, particularly consumer paper products. The packaged consumer goods generally comprise one or more goods disposed in a carton, such as a folded paperboard box that is at least partially overwrapped with a film having a plurality of graphic elements disposed thereon. The graphic elements are preferably disposed on the film such that at least two panels of the resulting packages are visually similar, and two panels are visually distinct. The packages may be stacked in arrays to form a display having two more faces that are visually similar. The present freestanding display helps consumers recognize the packaged products from a distance even when displayed amongst other packaged goods in a crowded supermarket or club store.

A baseball and softball training and performance system and set are disclosed. The system and set may include a home plate and/or other bases disposed on a field or in a training area, and a mat or stenciled target near the home plate. The home plate and mat or stenciled target may have identical or common text and/or graphic elements communicating a safety and/or performance message and providing a target symbol to remind a player to place a bat on the mat or stenciled target. The system may further include one or more of a banner, ball, helmet, bat, or other equipment and accessories having an identical or common text and/or graphic elements communicating the safety and/or performance message and providing the target symbol. The home plate may be an expanded strike zone home plate.

An advertising unit advertising unit includes a back unit adapted to be secured to a parking lot. A cover comprising a transparent or translucent material is mounted to the back unit to define a cavity. The cover is adapted to withstand the weight of a vehicle passing over or resting atop the cover without experiencing fracture or inelastic deformation. An electronic display is positioned within the cavity.

In a viewing object display set, it is possible to prevent a reduction in a sense of reality when a viewing object is seen. Specifically, the display set for viewing the viewing object includes the viewing object that is attached to a display surface and an object for visual effect that is provided on a viewing position side with respect to the viewing object and shields at least a portion of the viewing object. The object for visual effect is arranged so as to shield the boundary between the viewing object and the display surface.

An advertising unit includes a transparent or translucent cover. A back unit includes a base as well as first and second side ridges which extend from, and along, side edges of the base. A track defined by the first and second side ridges is configured to receive the cover in a sliding arrangement. The space between said cover and said back unit defines a cavity configured to receive one or more advertisements.
