An exemplary high-speed moving optical image selection system includes (1) at least one image viewing area or zone, (2) at least one image projection path to direct images onto the image viewing area or zone, (3) an image storage member where a plurality of images are stored, (4) a motor coupled to the image storage member to rotate the image storage member at a high speed of one rotation in less than 1/50 of a second to move the images into the image projection path, (5) at least one light source that has an light emitting interval of generally less than 10 microseconds, (6) operator control buttons to control and select images, and (7) electronic circuitry to monitor positions of images and to actuate the light source when selected images are in the image projection path.

High speed optical image selection system

A drinking vessel formed of a separable outer shell and inner shell which form a fluid flow path therebetween when the inner shell is received in the outer shell. Removal of the inner shell renders the flow path accessible for cleaning. The outer shell is transparent in the vicinity of the flow path to display fluid flow through the path. Embodiments having various configurations of flow paths are disclosed. An embodiment including a mechanism for puncturing a disposable inner shell to provide access between the flow path and interior of the inner shell is also disclosed.

The present invention provides an electronic maze game wherein the player attempts to direct a playing piece through a maze to a goal within the maze. The goal is suitably indicated by a flashing LED on the game board. The position of the goal within the maze changes in a pseudo-random manner. In the preferred embodiment, the object of the game is to score as many goals in the shortest possible time, without passing through any forbidden zone in the maze. The forbidden zone is indicated by a flashing LED of a different color than the goal LED, and periodically changes position within the maze in a pseudo-random manner.

Electronic maze game

An electronic toy doll including electronic circuitry for selectively generating a number of simulation sounds typically associated with a mystic or science fantasy character. In respective operational modes, the sound of wind, the sound of breathing, an eerie pseudo-random sequence of musical notes and sounds representing the operation of a weapon are selectively generated. In a further operational mode, a random one of a predetermined number of responses are provided upon generation of an actuation signal. The random response may be considered to be an answer to inquiries. Preferred circuitry for generating the simulation sounds is described, accessories, adapted for removable interconnection with the circuitry are also described.

Multi-mode doll

A toy which, in response to a complex sound such as human speech generates a train of audio pulses. The pulses are psuedo-random with respect to frequency composition and to duration, thus simulating syllabic speech. Provisions are also described whereby the length of the pulse train is made random.

Voice responsive 'talking' toy

A toy vehicle including provisions for generating realistic simulations of an engine operating through a range of gears, squealing tires, and a crash. Provisions are also described for providing a siren simulation. Preferred circuitry for generating such simulation signals is described.

Toy vehicle

A toy flying craft including provisions for generating realistic engine whines in accordance with the attitude of the craft. Provisions for simulating weapons fire are also disclosed.
