A lighted inflatable apparatus including: a wall comprising a first inflatable chamber; at least one lighting element disposed within the wall, the at least one lighting element configured to emit light; and a control box connected to the at least one lighting element, the control box configured to control one or more emission states of the at least one lighting element.

There is provided an information processing apparatus and an information processing method capable of intuitively and easily indicating a state of feeling of the autonomous moving body to the user. The information processing apparatus includes a control unit that, according to a change in a position of the autonomous moving body sensed by a sensing unit that senses the position of the autonomous moving body and a feeling parameter indicating the feeling of the autonomous moving body, causes a display screen to display a figure corresponding to the autonomous moving body while changing a state of the figure. The present disclosure can be applied to, for example, an apparatus and the like that controls an autonomous moving body.

A telescopic mechanism including hollow telescopic blade segments with a threaded spindle having spindle threads within the telescopic blade segments. Nuts are configured to correspond and interface with the spindle, and a power mechanism is configured to spin the spindle. Each of the nuts respectively interfaces at the proximal portion of each of the hollow blade segments and the nuts have nut threads corresponding to the spindle threads. The nut threads allow back and forth movement over the spindle threads when the spindle is rotated; however, the nut threads will slide over the spindle threads if the distal telescopic blade segment is pushed above a given threshold force.

Provided is a system that includes an interactive casing and a GR device. The interactive casing receives a first signal based on activation of a masked electrical switch by release of a magnetic assertion when a lid member of an interactive casing is disengaged from a base member of the interactive casing. A first system state of the interactive casing is converted to a second system state. Audio-visual feedback is generated and a second signal is communicated to the GR device based on the conversion. Based on the received second signal, a first device state of the GR device is converted to a second device state. Power levels of a first power storage device of the interactive casing and a second power storage device of the GR device are maintained during the first system state and the first device state, respectively.

Provided is a gesture recognition (GR) device that includes a circuit board on which a plurality of light sources are mounted. A first light source is side-mounted at a tip of a second unit of the circuit board, and the set of second light sources is mounted at right angles at top and bottom surfaces of the second unit. A first pair from the set of second light sources is positioned adjacent to the side-mounted first light source. The plurality of light sources are controlled to generate multiple lighting effects for the tip based on assertion signals generated at a first unit of the circuit board. A first lighting effect corresponds to a directional beam generated by the first light source. A set of second lighting effects, which remains unblocked by the side-mounted first light source, corresponds to a multi-color illumination generated by the set of second light sources.
