  • Publication number: 20190336868
    Abstract: Systems and methods are described for playing a game using a gestural gaming device. In an embodiment, the gestural gaming device includes a processor, a sensor, a communications transceiver, and a plurality of lighting elements. An application may be executed on a mobile device in communication with the gestural gaming device via the communications transceiver. The system may also include a back-end server in communication with the application over a network. The game may be played using the gestural gaming device in conjunction with one or more gestures, the game being managed by the application using the plurality of lighting elements. A winner of the game may be awarded a reward in response to winning the game from the back-end server via the gestural gaming device.

  • Publication number: 20190108601
    Abstract: Rapid reordering may be performed by a two-step process. A user interface may present a user with a first user interface control, which can be a button or other user interface control that enables a user interface to initiate an express reorder of a previously-ordered item. Once the user has selected the button, the user interface can present default details about the order along with a second user interface control, which can be a swipe bar or another button (or some other control). User selection of the second user interface control can complete the reorder process. Although described with respect to reordering, this two-step process can also be used for ordering items not previously ordered by a user before.

  • Patent number: 7624685
    Abstract: A guideway and chassis system of wheel-based, rail running vehicles includes a guideway system having substantially horizontal bases, two parallel rails, and mainly vertical guide rails extending along both sides of the rails, with mainly horizontal inward flanges in a vertical distance above the bases. The chassis includes a set of main wheels arranged to run on the rails and a set of guide wheels arranged to bear against the guide rails to ensure the lateral position of the vehicle. The flanges are localized closely above the top side of the guide wheels to restrict the ability of the guide wheels to upward vertical movement. The width of the flanges is sufficiently small so as to not interfere with the main wheels, thereby allowing the top of the main wheels to extend above the horizontal flanges.

  • Publication number: 20070113754
    Abstract: Guideway and chassis system of wheel-based, rail running vehicles comprising a guideway system (2-6) including substantially horizontal bases (3), two parallel rails (4) and mainly vertical guide rails (5) extending along both sides of the rails (4), with mainly horizontal inward flanges (6) in a vertical distance above the bases (3). The chassis comprises a set of main wheels (9) arranged to run on said rails (4) and a set of guide wheels (10) arranged to bear against the guide rails (5) to ensure the lateral position of the vehicle. The flanges (6) are localized closely above the top side of said guide wheels (10) to restrict their ability to upward vertical movement, the width of the flanges (6) being sufficiently small to not interfere with the main wheels (9), allowing the top of the main wheels to extend above the horizontal flanges (6).
