Abstract:
Method, modules and a system formed by connecting the modules for controlling payloads are disclosed. An activation signal is propagated in the system from a module to the modules connected to it. Upon receiving an activation signal, the module (after a pre-set or random delay) activates a payload associated with it, and transmits the activation signal (after another pre-set or random delay) to one or more modules connected to it. The system is initiated by a master module including a user activated switch producing the activation signal. The activation signal can be propagated in the system in one direction from the master to the last module, or carried bi-directionally allowing two way propagation, using a module which revert the direction of the activation signal propagation direction. A module may be individually powered by an internal power source such as a battery, or connected to external power source such as AC power. The system may use remote powering wherein few or all of the modules are powered from the same power source connected to the system in a single point. The power may be carried over dedicated wires or concurrently with the conductors carrying the activation signal. The payload may be a visual or an audible signaling device, and can be integrated within a module or external to it. The payload may be powered by a module or using a dedicated power source, and can involve randomness associated with its activation such as the delay, payload control or payload activation.

Claim (Index 1):
A game set for sensing, and responding to, a physical phenomenon using three or more mechanically attachable and electrically connectable devices, the game set comprising:\n a first device comprising, in a first enclosure:\n a first connector for electrically connecting to, and for mechanically attaching to, another device; \n a second connector capable of mating with the first connector, for electrically connecting to, and for mechanically attaching to, another device; and \n a sensor having an output coupled to the first or second connector for sensing a physical, chemical, or biological phenomenon; \n a second device comprising, in a second enclosure:\n a third connector that is identical to the first connector for electrically connecting to, and for mechanically attaching to, another device; \n a fourth connector that is identical to the second connector capable of mating with the third connector, for electrically connecting to, and for mechanically attaching to, another device; and \n a power source coupled to the third or fourth connector for powering another device; \n and a third device comprising, in a third enclosure:\n a fifth connector for electrically connecting to, and for mechanically attaching to, another device; \n a sixth connector capable of mating with the fifth connector, for electrically connecting to, and for mechanically attaching to, another device; and \n a payload coupled to the fifth or sixth connector to be electrically powered from the power source and for converting an electrical power from the power source to a non-electrical type of energy, \n wherein upon electrically connecting and mechanically attaching the first, second, and third devices in any order using the connectors, the payload is operated in response to the physical phenomenon sensed by the sensor.
