Abstract: An anti-theft device for securing an article of merchandise against unauthorized removal from a display counter. The anti-theft device comprises a latch plate and a pedestal having a quick-release interface. The latch plate is configured to selectively couple to the quick-release interface. A latch bolt is disposed within the pedestal. The latch bolt locks the latch plate relative to the quick-release interface. A plurality of retaining arms is configured to receive and retain an article of merchandise. The retaining arms cannot be disengaged from the article of merchandise while the latch plate is locked relative to the quick-release interface. A solenoid is housed within the pedestal and operationally connected to the latch bolt. The solenoid is configured to retract the latch bolt into a position in which the latch bolt disengages the latch plate, thereby releasing the latch plate from the quick-release interface.

Abstract: An anti-theft device for securing an article of merchandise against unauthorized removal from a display counter. The anti-theft device includes a plurality of arms slidingly disposed within the housing. Grips are disposed on proximal ends of the arms and are configured to receive and secure edges of an article of merchandise. A locking mechanism is disposed within the housing of the anti-theft device. The locking mechanism involves an actuator that presses a locking component to engage at least one of the arms. The arms have a first set of teeth disposed thereon, such that, when the locking component engages at least one of the arms, the first set of teeth interlocks with a second set of teeth. The arms cannot slide relative to the housing while the first set of teeth and the second set of teeth remain interlocked.

Abstract: A multi-sport exercise machine that provides physical and visual stimulation to allows game players to use one piece of equipment to play a variety of games. The present invention has the ability to simulate multiple sports through the combination of angular movement and resistance with the principles of simulation and virtual reality to create an apparatus that is built to promote physical exercise and training in an unconventional way by allowing the user to play a variety of sporting games by standing, sitting, or lying prone while activating a variety of motion and resistance sensors. The present invention combines the principles of simulation and virtual reality through the use of a computer with monitor display or head mounted display to provide a machine that allows a user to play physically and virtually via video games many sports such as river boarding, surfing, kayaking, sledding or other similar sports.

Abstract: A gyroscopic exercise apparatus combining the principles of simulation and virtual reality for exercising the body and for developing balance training skills in sports such as river boarding, sledding and other sport where it is necessary for the body to be in a prone position on a board while engaged in that sport. The movement of the apparatus on its axis depends and is guided by the pressure exerted by the chest of the user on the upper section of the wobbling support board of the device. The user of the apparatus interacts with the games and video's displayed on a head mount or a computer monitor by pressing the appropriate buttons on the handles on the upper section of the wobbling support board of the device or by kicking their feet against the pressure sensitive foam mats incorporated at the bottom of the lower section of the board.

Abstract: An apparatus and method used with a conventional barbecue, such as a kettle-type barbecue, which enables the barbecue to be fueled by fuel pellets burned in a fire box. The apparatus includes a support, a hopper and feeder structure for the fire box combined into a unitary construction selectively positionable as a unit on the barbecue body of the barbecue or removed therefrom. In embodiments illustrated, the fire box is positioned so as to direct heat to a desired location within the apparatus.
