A method and apparatus according to which a patient simulator includes one or more of the following: a left eye assembly including a simulated left pupil, a simulated left eyelid, and/or a simulated left iris; a right eye assembly including a simulated right pupil, a simulated right eyelid, and/or a simulated right iris; a neck assembly including a simulated neck; a left brow assembly including a simulated left brow; a right brow assembly including a simulated right brow; a tear duct assembly including simulated left and right cheeks through which artificial pores are formed; and a mouth assembly including a simulated mouth. In various embodiments, any one, or a combination, of these assemblies may be, include, or be part of, a manikin in the form of a human face, and may therefore be activated simultaneously to realistically simulate life-like human facial features/expressions.

A fastener pull assist apparatus arranged within a housing that is configured to assist in sealing a zipper at the back of a garment, such as a dress.

An animatronic doll is disclosed. The doll, includes multiple sensors, one or more of which receives input which causes the doll to perform various functions such as moving, vibrating, playing music, eating, interacting with a mobile app or interacting with another doll. The doll also includes various modes which may be effected or selected based on input from one or more sensors. One of the sensors may include an rfid reader which reads cards that instruct the doll to emulate a particula emotion.

An animatronic doll is disclosed. The doll, includes multiple motors, one or more of which controls conjoined movements of various parts of the doll and one or more of which controls individual parts of the doll. The doll may include a speaker for causing the duck to vibrate and/or it may include various sensors for user and environmental interaction.

A ride-on, wheeled toy picks up small objects from a plane surface. The ride-on toy can be driven by the feet of a child sitting on the toy or by the hands of a person standing behind the toy. The pick-up mechanism of the toy is a continuous gear and belt system with flexible sweeping fins. The pick-up mechanism can be activated or deactivated by a push button or switch.

The present invention improves a sense of participation in a topic and enables a dialogue to continue for a long time. A dialogue system 12 includes at least an input part 1 that receives a user's utterance and a presentation part 5 that presents an utterance. In an utterance receiving step, the input part 1 receives an utterance performed by the user. In a first presentation step, the presentation part 5 presents an utterance determined based on scenarios stored in advance. In a second presentation step, the presentation part 5 presents the utterance determined based on the user's utterance contents. A dialogue control part 8 performs control to execute a dialogue at least including a first dialogue flow which is a dialogue including the utterance receiving step and the first presentation step at least one time respectively based on a predetermined scenario, and a second dialogue flow which is a dialogue including the utterance receiving step and the second presentation step at least one time respectively.

A proximity induced messaging device for greeting a person arriving at an entrance of a structure includes a housing that defines an interior space. The housing is configured to couple to a structure proximate to the entrance of the structure. A power module is coupled to the housing and is positioned in the interior space. A sensor and a communication module are coupled to the housing and are operationally coupled to the power module. The communication module is operationally coupled to the sensor. The sensor is configured to detect a person entering an area proximate to the housing and to signal the communication module. The communication module is positioned to broadcast a greeting.

The present invention proposes a dot pattern on which code information and x and y coordinate information can be defined even if the dot pattern is extremely small, and proposes an information reproducing method and an information reproducing device based on the dot pattern. More specifically, a medium such as a printed material on which is formed a dot pattern portion by arranging in accordance with a given rule dots generated by a dot code generating algorithm in order to recognize various kinds of multimedia information is scanned as image data by scanning means. Then, the image data is converted into code data. Multimedia information corresponding to the code data is read out of storing means to be reproduced.

A toy projector includes a housing and a light projector adapted to project light from the housing. A sheet is associated with the housing to be disposed over the light projector to thereby diffuse light emitted from the housing and to be selectively withdrawn from being over the light projector to allow the projection of light from the housing to be unobstructed.
