Abstract: A gaming console configured with an auxiliary flexible display unit, e.g., a flexible LCD unit, providing different viewing angles for viewing displayed messages of advertisements is provided. The flexible display unit may comprise a plurality of individual flexible display modules which may be oriented as to define separate viewing windows or corridors to display related or unrelated messages, viewable from different directions. Corridors of viewing may be defined by software so that the flexible display unit may present messages uniquely to each defined corridor, which corresponds to one or more flexible display modules or portions thereof.

Abstract: A touch screen assembly for use with a display, such as, for example, a flat panel display. The touch screen assembly includes a transparent panel, preferably in the form of a panel of tempered glass adhered to a touch screen panel. Consoles having touch screen assemblies are also disclosed.

Abstract: Frames suitable for mounting flat panel displays are provided. The frame is adapted to engage and secure a flat panel display. One or more flanges on at least one side of the frame are adapted to attach to sides of an opening within a console. Also provided are methods for mounting a flat panel display in a frame and mounting the display and frame assembly within a console.

Abstract: A gaming console configured with picture-in-picture (PIP) capability for use to gain entry into a group level or competitive level of play. The PIP window is used to form teams or provide information related to group play. The PIP screen may also be used to make request for special services such as making hotel or restaurant reservations, advanced request for getting a car from the concierge, and may also be used to send information about the location of the game console being used by a player so that others may know where the player is currently located.

Abstract: An electric dry shaver having a movable long hair clipper which is slidable from a retracted position within the shaver housing to an extended position in which the clipping teeth of the clipper are exposed. The clipper includes a relatively fixed blade or comb supported by a molded plastic part which performs the functions of guiding the movable clipper, providing a detent action for the movable clipper and interconnecting the clipper assembly with a manually actuable member which extends through the wall of the shaving housing. The shaver also includes a roller supported between a pair of shaving heads by the means for tensioning the flexible comb on its supporting frame.

Abstract: A shaver includes a housing and a shaving head detachably secured to the housing. A modular cutting assembly is detachably mounted in the shaving head and includes a plurality of blades that are reciprocated within the head for cutting hair. The blades are joined together by pins and releasably secured to a mounting block. A biasing element secured between the mounting block and the blades biases the blades away from the mounting block to provide a floating connection. The mounting block is slideably positioned on a clip that is resiliently positioned within the shaving head. The shaver also includes a modular clipper assembly including a pair of blades reciprocally mounted within the shaving head. A clipper guard is slideably mounted in the housing for movement toward and away from the clipper blades and includes at least one sloped slot and a cutout portion with an inclined edge including at least one detent.
