20220219092 | GAME PROCESSING PROGRAM, GAME PROCESSING METHOD, AND GAME PROCESSING DEVICE - A game processing device determines a movement range of a moving object in a game field using movement range information indicating the movement range of the moving object in the game field. Further, the game processing device arranges a game medium operated by a player in the game field so that a relative position of the game medium with respect to the movement range satisfies a predetermined condition. | 2022-07-14 |
20220219093 | Motion Simulator - A motion simulator comprises a base, a motion platform, a carrying platform, a support assembly and a driver assembly for simulating different motions. The motion platform is movably connected to the base, the carrying platform comprises a carrier arranged on the carrying platform, the support assembly is movably connected to the motion platform and the carrying platform, and the driver assembly drives the motion platform to move relative to the base and drives the actuator to actuate the carrying platform to move relative to the motion platform. The support assembly further includes an actuator and a support tube that are movably connected between the motion platform and the carrying platform, respectively. | 2022-07-14 |
20220219094 | EXPANDABLE TOY FIGURINE WITH BREAK APART HOUSING - A toy comprising an expandable figurine with a cavity and a valve adapted to allow a fluid to enter the cavity. When the cavity is filled with the fluid, the expandable figurine expands from a normal state to an expanded state. The toy further comprises a housing containing the expandable figurine in the normal state. The housing has one or more break apart elements and an opening proximate the valve of the expandable figurine contained in the housing. The one or more break apart elements of the housing are configured to rupture when the expandable figurine expands from the normal state to the expanded state while being contained within the housing. | 2022-07-14 |
20220219095 | TRANSFORMABLE TOY VEHICLE HAULER - A transformable toy vehicle hauler comprises a trailer portion that includes three or more trailer sections pivotably coupled end-to-end. A cabin portion is connected to the trailer portion and includes a toy vehicle launcher. The toy vehicle hauler is capable of being configured in a transport configuration where the three or more trailer sections are folded together in a zigzag pattern and a raceway configuration where the three or more trailer sections are unfolded to form a straight track. | 2022-07-14 |
20220219096 | RECONFIGURABLE TOY VEHICLE LOOP - A loop track for toy vehicles comprising a baseplate and an extensible helical loop connected to the baseplate. The baseplate includes an inlet pathway and two or more outlet pathways positioned laterally along the baseplate. A first end of the helical loop is connected to the inlet pathway. A second end of the helical loop is removably connected to one of the two or more outlet pathways by laterally extending or contracting the helical loop. The loop track has a plurality of configurations and the configuration of the loop track is determined by the outlet pathway connected to the second end of the helical loop. | 2022-07-14 |
20220219097 | PROCESS AND APPARATUS FOR HEATING STREAM FROM A SEPARATION VESSEL - An apparatus and process heat a process stream taken from a separator vessel by heat exchange with a hydroprocessed effluent stream and return the heated process stream to the separator vessel. We have found the significant heater duty reduction is provided particularly for a hydroprocessing unit. A spiral tube heat exchange can achieve heating of an already hot process stream by heat exchange with a hot effluent stream. | 2022-07-14 |
