Abstract: An overbed table wherein a flex top (40) is selectively coupled to a table top frame (38). Flex top (40) has fasteners (118, 120) that engage openings (114, 116) in the table top frame. Flex top (40) also includes pins (74, 76) that cooperate with stops (78, 80, 82, 84) that are defined in tracks (50, 52). When pins (74, 76) are seated on first stops (78, 80) flex top is planar. When pins (74, 76) are seated on other stops (82, 84) panels (54, 56) form a peak (86) that is ergonomically favored for certain activities and uses.

Abstract: A virtual activity is facilitated by receiving collected data related to a non-virtual, real-world physical activity performed by a user, evaluating the collected data to determine what benefit the user has earned by performing physical activity, and providing a benefit to the user that enables the user to virtually build or reconstruct something in a virtual world. In some embodiments, the user is enabled to virtually reconstruct a real-world location at which the physical activity was performed by unlocking a feature of that location within the virtual world. In other embodiments, the user is enabled to virtually build a fictional location by unlocking the ability to add a feature to that location within the virtual world.

Abstract: The invention provides a monitoring device and its method of use for characterizing and evaluating the recreational quality of a ride event, based on velocity, g-forces, and vertical and lateral movement. The device optionally takes measurements for an individual ride event, displays and stores them, and if desired, transmits them to a central server for storage and or dissemination. The device can thereby document experience characteristics and scores for each ride, optionally reflecting personal preferences in the ratings. The stored data may be used for personal or managerial applications.

Abstract: The present invention provides a device for tracking a mobile or portable asset. A navigation system beacon device (NSBD) is stored in, on or near the asset, and is turned on under the control of an accelerometer in response to movement of the asset. A signal providing the asset's position and or motion information is then transmitted from the NSBD to a user or client optionally by routing the information to and through a central server.
