US Patent:

20050102752, May 19, 2005

Filed:

Nov 12, 2004

Appl. No.:

10/987913

Inventors:

Jeffrey Abraham - Orlando FL, US
Gregg Dobbs - Windermere FL, US

Assignee:

Bedbug Lights, Inc. - Orlando FL

International Classification:

A47G009/02

US Classification:

005482000, 005905000, 362130000

Abstract:

A bed covering has a translucent top layer that has a pattern thereon with a plurality of decorative elements that are positioned in a plurality of sectors. An array of light-emitting elements is positioned beneath the top layer. The array is segregated into sectors corresponding to at least some of the top-layer sectors. A control element is programmable to activate at least some of the light-emitting elements within at least some of the sectors in a predetermined pattern. Such an activation backlights at least some of the decorative elements in the top-layer sectors in the predetermined pattern. Additional elements of the bed covering may include an audio emitter for providing sound commensurate with the predetermined pattern and a light-diffusing element positioned between the top layer and the light-emitting-element array for providing a more diffuse illumination of the top layer sectors.

Appl. No.:

8/686806

Inventors:

Gregg T. Dobbs - Windermere FL

John M. Dobbs - Winter Garden FL

Assignee:

Keepsake, Inc. - Windermere FL

International Classification:

G03B 4100

US Classification:

396322

Abstract:

Bulk rolls of film are pre-exposed with a latent image of artwork positioned within a film frame. Multiple frames, each having an artwork image portion and an opaque portion, are formed within an imaging filmstrip formed in a continuous loop. The continuous loop is rotated while a portion of the filmstrip is in contact with a portion of the bulk film for transferring the artwork image from the filmstrip to the bulk film. The bulk film is advanced while a light source exposes the film when in contact with the filmstrip. The pre-exposed bulk roll of film is punched at preselected sprocket holes corresponding to the filmstrip length for providing a reference sprocket hole within each length of film cut from the bulk roll for loading within a camera for double exposure of the film and placement of a second latent image in juxtaposition with the artwork.

International Classification:

G03B 1726
G03B 1500

US Classification:

355 77

Abstract:

A positive-to-positive color photographic paper is given a first exposure to create a latent image of a desired background such as a magazine cover with a large area unexposed, utilizing a negative plate and original color artwork. The preexposed paper is stored in a light-tight package. Later, a second exposure of a desired subject is made on the previously unexposed portion using a positive plate of the originally exposed material in a specialized view camera. The view camera uses several selectable fixed focus positions to enable unskilled personnel to perform the second exposure. The paper is then processed rapidly at high temperature, producing a high quality color photograph in a few minutes. A typical use is to provide a person with their photograph as the cover picture on a simulated national magazine cover.

International Classification:

G03B 4100

US Classification:

396322

Abstract:

A fun camera provides precise registration of a latent image within a film frame with subsequent images placed on the filmstrip through exposure of the filmstrip within the camera. Rolls of film are pre-exposed with the latent image of artwork positioned within film frames. Masks are provided for insertion of the camera frame opening for shielding that portion of the film frame which contains the artwork latent image. The art work is placed onto the pre-exposed filmstrip using an imaging filmstrip formed in a continuous loop. The continuous loop having multiple artwork images thereon is rotated while a portion of the filmstrip is in contact with a portion of the bulk film for transferring the artwork image from the filmstrip to the bulk film. The bulk film is advanced while a light source exposes the film when in contact with the filmstrip. The pre-exposed bulk roll of film is punched at preselected sprocket holes corresponding to the filmstrip length for providing a reference sprocket hole within each length of film cut from the bulk roll for loading within canisters for use within the fun camera for double exposure of the film and placement of a second latent image in juxtaposition with the artwork.
