  • Publication number: 20120198739
    Abstract: A rotating panel display includes a rotating panel element, a base structure that is connected to the rotating panel element, and a control system for rotational control of the rotating panel element. The rotating panel element includes a frame having at least one display side, an internal light source, and at least one transparent display surface on the display side. The frame rotates about an axis of the rotating panel element. The control system includes a position indicator system to provide position information to control the distance of rotation of the frame. The position indicator system includes fixed structures positioned internally in the frame which do not rotate with the frame and frame structures connected to the frame which rotate with the frame. The fixed structures and frame structures periodically interacting with one another as the frame rotates to cause position information to be communicated to the control system.

  • Publication number: 20100081548
    Abstract: An exercise simulator and a method of encouraging exercise are disclosed. The exercise simulator has a steering component including a user-movable element and a steering sensor. The sensor outputs a sensor signal indicative of the amount of movement of the user-movable element to provide steering input to a computer. The computer has a program and data for providing a visually displayable simulated environment. The visually displayable simulated environment is navigable by user input comprising movement of the user-movable element. The visually displayable simulated environment can be part of a computer animated game.

  • Patent number: 6607766
    Abstract: A cooked food staging device and method is provided. The cooked food staging device allows previously cooked food items, particularly sandwich fillings such as hamburger patties, fish fillets, biscuits, Canadian bacon, pork sausage, eggs, chicken patties, chicken fillets and nuggets, to be stored over extended periods of time at an elevated temperature without significant deleterious effects to the appearance, taste and texture of the food while avoiding risk of bacterial contamination. The food staging device is composed of a plurality of discrete compartments bounded by upper and lower heated compartment surfaces. Food can be stored within the compartments in trays having sidewalls of a height such that a gap is achieved between the top of the tray and the upper compartment heated surface to limit and control the evaporation of liquid from the food stored therein.
