Abstract: A magnetic position sensor may include a coil arrangement, a magnetic coupling element, and a test element movable along a measurement path. The coil arrangement may include at least one transmitter coil and at least one receiver coil. The at least one transmitter coil may provide an alternating magnetic field. A magnetic flux provided via the at least one transmitter coil may at least partly pass through the at least one receiver coil. The magnetic coupling element may be configured to at least one of amplify the magnetic flux and at least partly guide the magnetic flux to the at least one receiver coil. The test element may provide a magnetic field large enough to locally magnetically saturate the magnetic coupling element. The magnetic coupling element may include at least one of a high-resistance material that is magnetizable, and a magnetizable material and a material with a specific electrical resistance.

Abstract: An information display and communication system for use with paintball equipment during a paintball game is provided. The information display and communication system includes a display unit disposed on a housing; a wireless communication unit provided in the housing for receiving information from a paintball marker system; and a controller provided in the housing for displaying the received information on the display unit. The system can be constructed as a portable unit or incorporated into the body of a paintball marker or paintball hopper. Ideally, the display unit includes a touch screen input unit for providing user interaction with the information unit. The wireless communication unit utilizes a short range communication protocol, such as Bluetooth, IR, etc. Additionally, a second wireless communication unit is included having a longer communication range for communicating with other information display and communication systems and players.

Abstract: An apparatus, a system and a method secure and/or display a device on a fixture. Additionally, the apparatus, the system and the method attach and/or secure the device and/or a detachable means of the device to the fixture. A housing and/or a cable connects the device and/or the detachable means of the device to an alarm box and/or an alarm board. The housing has an optical sensor and/or a sensor board with a micro-controller and/or a resistor in communication with the micro-controller. The alarm box and/or the alarm board is in communication with an optical sensor and/or the micro-controller via a cable. A power source is in communication with the micro-controller via the cable to control a voltage which delivers from the power source to the device. Furthermore, the cable extends outward with respect to the fixture and/or a retracting means which allows the device and/or the detachable element of the device to be manipulated and/or to be examined by a customer and/or a user.

Abstract: An apparatus, a system and a method secure a device and/or a removable attachment of the device with an optical sensor. Additionally, the apparatus, the system and the method attach and/or secure the device and/or the removable attachment to a structural element. A base, a spring and/or a screw connect the device to an alarm box, a power source and/or the structural element. The alarm box and/or the power source communicate with the optical sensor and/or the device via a cable to secure the device and/or the attachment of the device. A programmable logical device controls a voltage from the power source and transmits the voltage to the device. A first LED and/or a second LED indicate that the voltage is provided to the device and that the removable attachment is secured. The optical sensor has a photo emitter and/or a photo receiver to secure the device and/or the removable attachment of the device to a structural element.

Abstract: An apparatus, a system and a method for securing a device are provided. The device may be an electronic device, an input device, an output device, a portable media storage unit, a portable electronic device and/or the like. An apparatus and a system for securing the device may attach and/or may connect the device and/or a detachable element of the device to a housing. A flap may attach to, secure to and/or connect the housing to the device. A light emitting element may indicate that the housing is attached to and/or secured to the device and/or the detachable element of the device. Attaching, securing and/or connecting the housing to the device may depress a plunger. Removing and/or separating the housing from the device may move the plunger outward with respect to the housing. A circuit may be closed, opened and/or activated by the plunger. The circuit may attach to, may connect to and/or may communicate with a security system which may be an alarm, an alarm box, an alarm board and/or the like.
