The invention relates to animatronics on entertainment devices such as greeting cards. A shape memory-alloy wire may be coupled to a PCB housed within a greeting card body. The wire may be anchored to a linkage assembly that is swivably, rotably, pivotably, extendably or otherwise movably coupled to the greeting card body. The PCB may be configured to generate a signal to a driving circuit for supplying an electrical current through the wire, the current having a variable amperage that is modified based on the pulse file. The variable amperage causes a change in the temperature of the wire, which causes the wire, and thus the linkage assembly, to contract and expand. The linkage assembly may be coupled to a display body, which may include an animal shape, characters, popular culture images and the like. Movement of the linkage assembly causes the display body to move in an entertaining manner.

A greeting card book having at least one page permanently connected to or attached with a greeting card, such as a greeting card cover of the book. The greeting card cover has a surface that displays a message. A flap or other suitable structural device can be used or operated between a closed position and an open position to at least partially hide or reveal the message.

The technology disclosed herein relates to a card having a liquid absorptive sponge cloth forming a first panel and a second panel. A fold line is defined between the first panel and the second panel. A printed communication is on a first surface of the first panel. The sponge cloth is semi-rigid when substantially dry and is non-rigid upon saturation with liquid water. The sponge cloth has a maximum tensile strength of at least 2.66 lbs./in when wet.

The reusable printed card is a physical card such as a greeting card, postcard or business card, with an embedded RFID chip, specifically NFC (Near Field Communication), and a QR (Quick Response) Code, wherein the contents, such as text messages, photos, and audio-visual contents composed or arranged by the sender can be read and then be modified, to reuse it, eventually by the recipient using one's personal NFC-enabled device such as smartphone, or tablet. The computer application residing on the central server identifies the content and card information via the NFC or QR Code that is transmitted via the recipient's personal device through the internet, then simulating the printed card and displaying the actual contents on the personal device upon scanning the card. The history of the contents of each card is kept and are readily available for the sender's and recipients' memory-sake and for social media purposes under the sender's and recipient's account stored on the central server, and/or in their personal devices' local storage in the case of business card information for instance.

A greeting card generally comprising panels and a biasing member which stores a compressive force or a tensional force. The biasing member is coupled to the greeting card, such that the greeting card moves to an open configuration or a closed configuration, depending on the type of force held by the biasing member.

An example apparatus includes a greeting card portion having at least a back flap, a container housing coupled to the back flap of the greeting card portion, and at least one fluid container secured within the container housing, the fluid container including an opening to receive at least one stem of a flower therein, the fluid container further including a fluid to nourish the flower via the stem.

An in store sales product having a greeting card with an uninflated balloon attached. and after purchase the cashier can then inflate the balloon, place the greeting card and balloon in a shopping bag and hand it to the customer and the balloon remains temporarily secured down on the greeting card, and will be released later to float upwards on a tether.

A liquid sample bulk mailing packaging device includes a paperboard envelope blank assembled to form a hermetically sealed leakproof containment pocket such that a moisture resistant coating on .Iadd.at least .Iaddend.one of the paperboard surfaces will prevent leakage in the event an enclosed liquid containing packette fails during mail processing, while .Iadd.if uncoated .Iaddend.the other paperboard surface will absorb the moisture from the packette. The device meets the US Postal Service requirements for machinable and automation letters.

A greeting card having a unique die cut and scored line pattern and a container to be inserted into the binding area of the card. The greeting card and container includes a sheet like element having first, second, third and fourth scored lines forming the binding area, first, second, third, and fourth die cuts creating first and second tabs at the binding area for receiving the container.

An in store sales product having a greeting card with an uninflated balloon attached. and after purchase the cashier can then inflate the balloon, place the greeting card and balloon in a shopping bag and hand it to the customer and the balloon remains temporarily secured down on the greeting card, and will be released later to float upwards on a tether.
