Abstract: An accessory lighting assembly for selectively illuminating user selected areas such as, for example, compact computer devices, books and other desired areas. The lighting assembly comprises a base portion for mounting to the user-selected area, a pivotable extension, and a pivotable light portion with a light source. The light source is selectively directed toward a user selected area for illumination and may be pivoted between a working position where light source is adapted to be directed toward the user selected area and a storage position where the light source is housed within a recess formed in the extension. A rechargeable battery pack provides electric power and the light source may be a fluorescent light bulb.

Abstract: A computer game controller with integrated video display device. The controller has a video device mounted or otherwise integrated into a hand held controller. A communication cable connects the controller with a stand alone computer game device. The cable establishes a communication link to facilitate the transmission of both command signals and audio/video signals between the controller and computer device. The integrated controller and video display device of the present invention provides two-way interaction with the stand-alone computer device within a single accessory device. The integrated controller and video display device may also incorporate a speaker or headphone jack to deliver additional audio stimulation.

Abstract: A computer game controller with integrated LED display to indicate when special features or modes are in use at a given time. A communication cable establishes a communication link to facilitate the transmission of command signals. When a user selects button "A" and activates the "turbo"or program option, a LED light located proximate button "A"is lit to indicate that "turbo" or program mode is engaged. Likewise all buttons, pads, keys and knobs are associated with a LED light somewhere within the controller. A plug is affixed to the end of the communication cable. When the cable is inserted into a receptacle on a computer gaming device and a connection is properly formed, a LED light formed on the plug will light in response to a voltage across a voltage supply line.

Abstract: A power cord having an integral and unitarily formed surge protector and reset circuitry for delivering a power flow to a stand-alone computer gaming unit. The power cord with integrated surge protector allows for the gaming unit to be plugged into any power source without the necessity of a separate surge protector. A power switch is incorporated to allow a user or operator to turn the stand-alone computer gaming unit on or off without having to access the rear of the unit. An audio output indicator is located on a grill portion to illustrate the audio level through a series of LED lights.

Abstract: A portable video display unit is adapted for use with various electronic video-processing devices, such as video game consoles and video players (DVD players). The video display unit includes a base member adapted for removably attaching the video display unit to the electronic video processing device. The base member includes a locking device to securely affix the video display to the game console and permit portability while attached. A display screen is pivotally mounted to the base member for pivoting between a stowed position and a deployed position which is viewable by a user of the electronic video processing device.

Abstract: A portable video display unit is adapted for use with various electronic video-processing devices, such as video game consoles and video players (DVD players or VCRs). The video display unit comprises a base member adapted for removably attaching the video display unit to the electronic video processing device, the base member including a substantially flat base panel and a video display member including a viewing surface provided with a display screen, the video display member pivotally mounted to the base member for pivoting between a stowed position wherein the video display member is substantially parallel to the base panel and a deployed position wherein the screen member projects outwardly from the base panel with the viewing surface in a disposition which is viewable by a user of the electronic video processing device.
