Abstract: A computer controlled toy car racing game that can be played by a plurality of players. If less than a maximum number of players is present at the beginning of a race, a computer controller operates the remaining race cars such that each race includes all of the race cars. The racing game includes numerous sensors positioned above the racing course that relay control commands to each of the race cars. If a race car is computer controlled or computer assisted, the control commands are created by the computer controller. If the race car is controlled by a player, the control commands include information from a throttle and steering wheel used by the player. Upon completion of a race, the computer controller controls each of the race cars to bring the race cars back to a point on the race course near the start/finish line.

Abstract: A listening device for wildlife having selective multiple microphones within a directional sound gathering dish. The multiple microphones can be electronically activated in pre-delineated groups to vary the effective sound gathering field dependent on subject and desired listening characteristics of the user.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to the remote sensing and transmitting of nature sounds, especially bird sound and songs. A remotely positioned directional microphone assembly picks up and concentrates the bird sounds and songs and transmit it to a separate location to be amplified and reproduced through a speaker allowing the user to hear the birds from a distant indoor location.
