A system for creating a flickering effect comprises a light communicating cable, at least one light receiving cable secured on a rotatable mount rotatable about a horizontal axis, a light diffuser element in communication with the at least one light receiving cable and a rod connected to the diffuser element for causing rotary motion of the light diffuser surface about the horizontal axis.

A video game system comprises memory for storing data defining graphical objects for use in a video game. The system further comprises logic configured to enable a user to select at least one musical song to be played during a run of the video game. The logic is further configured to control at least one of the graphical objects during the run of the video game based on an attribute correlated with the selected song.

The present invention relates to a light emitting medium which includes a container and a liquid core. In accordance with an important aspect of the invention, the liquid core includes an aqueous solution or mixture of a water-soluble polymer. The refractive indices of the liquid core and that of the container may be different. However, the aqueous solution or mixture may have a lower or higher refractive index than that of the container. The mixture may be completely transparent or translucent and have a color other than clear. The container may be of any material that is translucent or transparent and be of any color.The raw materials for the light emitting medium in accordance with the present invention are less costly than known light guides and offer numerous advantages when compared to other illumination light guides. Water advantageously is a major raw material of the present invention. The water-soluble polymer component may be used in relatively minute amounts. For example, a liquid core in accordance with the present invention can be formed from up to 99.9% water and 0.01% water-soluble polymers, although higher amounts of water-soluble polymer may result in better characteristics. The container material may be formed from typically available polymers, such as polyvinyl chloride, acrylics and methacrylics or polyolefins and be formed by commonly known processes, such as extrusion, blow-molding and injection molding.In one embodiment of the invention, the light emitting medium in accordance with the present invention is combined with at least one light emitting diode (LED), a power source and a switching device to form a self contained illumination device. In another embodiment of the invention, images are formed on the container in different colors. Multiple LEDs of various wavelengths are selectively illuminated to simulate motion of the images.

Musical approaches are applied to the sonification of data. The musical approaches do not require directly mapping data to sound. Data is interpreted and transformed into sound through Lindemayer-systems or other methods. Where fractals are used in the interpretation and transformation of data to sounds the use of fractals provided needed phrasing to create a sense of forward motion in the music and to reveal a rich complexity in the details of the data.

A wind-water ultrasonic humidifier includes a housing, a hollow connecting portion, a water circulation system, and a power control box. The water circulation system includes an electric base, a rubber cork plugged into the top of the water circulation system and having a baffle inserted into a concave hole, a circular threaded pipe including a nebulizer and a water pump, two arc-shaped bridging support stands provided for connecting both sides of the electric base in an arc shape, a latch structure disposed at a lower end of the support stand, latches disposed on both sides of the electric base, and a water dripping device installed at an upper end of the bridging support stand.

An illumination device has a light-transmitting member formed in the shape of a toroid having a light-receiving surface and a light-emitting surface, the light-transmitting member defining a central axis, a light source located along the light-transmitting member central axis, and a light-directing housing for guiding light from the light source into the light-receiving surface of the light-transmitting member. The light-transmitting member may have optical waveguide and light-scattering characteristics, whereby the light-transmitting member emits light having a substantially uniform intensity along the light-emitting surface. The light-directing housing has a top reflector member and a bottom reflector member positioned on opposing side of the light source and cooperating with the light-transmitting member such that light is emitted only through the light-transmitting member.
