This invention relates to a three-dimensional game and to a multilevel game board structure for use therewith. The game board includes a plurality of plate-like members that are disposed in generally parallel, vertically spaced relation, the plate members decreasing in size in ascending order and having a plurality of playing positions arranged thereon on which game pieces are located. Play of the game may be either solitaire or in opponent fashion and is accomplished by jumping a game piece ove...

A two dimensional animated character providing a wide range of movements and controls for the eyeballs, eyelids and mouth by means of vertical control rods and connecting linkage and hinge mechanisms. Movement of the eyeballs in a left to right and up and down direction is produced by means of a pivotally mounted background plate having the eyeball features fixed thereon. The eyeball background plate is connected to the lower ends of a pair of control rods which manipulate such plate so that the...

An apparatus for three dimensional measurement may be fabricated by combining three pairs of beam members along three mutually orthogonal directions. Each beam member has a rack formed on the inside surface which mates with a pinion gear. The rack of one beam member engages a driving means which displaces a movable member which is disposed on the pair of beam members. The rack of the other beam member engages a measurement device which records the amount of displacement. Thus, an apparatus for m...

A three-dimensional decorative planter having a frame for securing a vertically disposed cultivation body and having a liquid reservoir and conduit for liquid from the reservoir to the cultivation body. The frame also has a trough for collecting excess liquid. The cultivation body includes culture material and filler in arrangements necessary to secure the culture material and provide watering, drainage and ventilation.

Apparatus is disclosed for transmitting video signals which produce images that can be viewed comfortably as two-dimensional images but when viewed through special glasses appear to be three dimensional. An illusion of depth is created for scenes including a moving object by combining one chrominance component of a past field with the luminance component of the current field. By "registering" the moving objects of the past and current fields, the background (stationary) objects of the past and c...

Seismic traces synthesizing the response of subsurface formations to a cylindrical or plane wave are obtained for a succession of shotpoint locations along a seismic line of profile. The traces obtained are then wavefront steered and the steered traces and original trace for each shotpoint are summed. Groups of these traces for a line of profile are assembled to form a steered section. A number of these sections are then individually imaged or migrated, and the migrated sections are summed to fo...

Two-dimensional analog memory monolithically integrated with insulated-gate field-effect transistors, operating on the charge-transfer, and more particularly on the bucket-brigade principle, for temporarily storing the signals originating with the two half pictures of a (TV) video signal.

A two-dimensional serial and field multiplexing holographic scanner is provided which is provided with multiple rows of holograms on the disk to achieve serial multiplexing and with means to shift or tilt an auxiliary reflector to focus the scanning beam on entirely new field points so as to achieve field multiplexing. The provision of both serial and field multiplexing provides a higher resolution scan of the object than otherwise obtainable. The scanner comprises a rotating disc that has recor...

A set of dominoes is disclosed which can be used for a three-dimensional domino game. The indicia on the top surface of the dominoes are in the form of raised pegs, and each domino has a socket on its under surface directly below and complementary to each raised peg on the top surface. The dominoes can be used for a three-dimensional game in which dominoes are placed next to each other on the same level or on top of each other where the sockets of the upper domino receive all of the pegs directl...

The invention relates to a doll having movable jointed body parts, comprising a main body portion and limb portions, said limb portions being preformed individually, a body-shaped covering bag of air and fluid-tight material, joint regions between the limb parts being formed by the juxta-position of the limb parts within appropriate portions of said bag which holds the limb parts in their correct relationship with each other, and a fluid filling means introduced between the body and limb portion...
