20080297301 | HIGH VOLTAGE FUSE - A high voltage fuse is disclosed. The high voltage fuse is compact and includes a molded plastic housing that holds connecting terminals, a fuse element, and optionally, a spring between one of the terminals and the fuse element or thin wire. When the fuse opens upon melting of the fuse element, the spring pulls apart ends of the wire and separates them as far as the spring and housing allow. The terminals may be mounted in separated parts of the housing, separated in some embodiments by the spring acting as an arc barrier. When the fuse element melts and the ends are pulled apart, the separation itself, or the arc barrier, prevents arcing between ends of the fuse element. In another embodiment, the housing itself furnishes a non-conducting plastic spring which urges the fuse link apart, the spring itself dividing the housing into two separate parts to prevent arcing. | 12-04-2008 |

20150105130 | IMAGE MATCHING GAME - An image matching game is described that provides multiple game display elements to a user. Each display element cycles through displaying one of a plurality of images. The user provides input to stop the changing display on one image. With each successive game display element, the user tries to stop the changing images on the same image as the previous display elements. When the user successfully stops the changing display elements and matching images across the game display elements, the user receives an indicia of reward. If the user fails to successfully match the image on any one element in the series of game display elements, the game turn either ends or the user loses one of a set number of attempts provided by the game. Depending on the implementation of the game, the user may receive interim level rewards for matching fewer than all of the game display elements. | 04-16-2015 |
