  • Publication number: 20210252384
    Abstract: Systems and methods for linking real world activity with a location-based parallel reality experience are provided. In particular, a game server hosting a parallel reality experience receives position data from a client device of a user and determines whether the client device is at a real world landmark associated with a geographic area. Responsive to determining that the client device is at the real world landmark, the game server cause the client device to present content incentivizing the user to travel to a real world location in the geographic area. The game server determines whether the client device is within proximity of the real world location based on sensor data. Responsive to determining that the client device is within proximity of the real world location, the game server causes the client device to display the virtual element at a virtual world location corresponding to the real world location.

  • Patent number: 6691342
    Abstract: Convertible furniture unit has a base and a bed platform connected to the base for displacement about a first axis from a stowed position to a use position. The platform is adapted to support a mattress. A table panel is pivotally mounted to the platform for displacement about a second axis between a support and a use position. An extension is pivotally connected to the table panel for rotation of the extension between an upper position for propping the panel in its working position, and a lower position. The extension pivots on a spreader fixed to the base. The spreader also contains a spring and optional linear actuator for controlling displacement of the platform.

  • Patent number: 6401276
    Abstract: A convertible furniture unit has a base and a bed platform pivotally connected to the base for angular displacement about a first axis from an upright stowed position with respect to the base, to a substantially horizontal use position. The platform has an upper surface in the use position that is adapted to support a mattress, and an opposite surface. A table panel has a first end that is pivotally mounted to the opposite surface of the platform for relative displacement between the platform and the panel about a second axis which is spaced from the first axis so that the panel is in a support position when the platform is in the use position, and the panel is in a working position when the platform is in the stowed position. An extension or foot is pivotally connected to the table panel at a location that is spaced from the first end of the panel, for rotation of the extension or foot between an upper position for propping the panel in its working position, and a lower position.
