Abstract: A game table for playing a game with a gamepiece includes a playing surface and the gamepiece is movable along the playing surface through the application of gaming forces. A first endwall extends generally perpendicularly from the playing surface and has a first wall length. A second endwall extends generally perpendicularly from the playing surface and is located on an opposite side of the playing surface from the first endwall. A first goal, comprised of at least one proximity sensor, is located along the first endwall and has a first goal length. The first goal length is adjustable.

Abstract: An image capturing mechanism for capturing an image of a target includes a support platform, a camera platform suspended from the support platform by a support cable, a camera mounted to the camera platform and a stabilization mechanism associated with the camera. A first end of the support cable is mounted to the support platform and a second end of the support cable is mounted to the camera platform. The stabilization mechanism stabilizes the captured image of the camera. Methods for capturing images utilizing the image capturing mechanism and advertising that may be associated with the device are also disclosed. An advertising medium is mounted to the support platform or the camera platforms to provide noticeable advertising space in a venue where the image capturing mechanism is utilized.

Abstract: Event participants in attendance at a plurality of different event venues can locate, edit and print images of themselves in their respective seating locations. A venue database is provided that contains data for a plurality of venues. For each venue, the venue database includes past events that occurred at the venue for a predetermined past time period and the associated event date, a venue seating chart, event participant images captured at past events at a plurality of different seating locations, and data related to the event type for at least some of the past events. The user searches the data in the venue database to identify a past event of interest. A venue seating chart associated with the past event of interest is displayed, the user selects a seating location on the seating chart, and one or more event participant images captured at the past event of interest at the selected seating location is displayed.

Abstract: Electronic control circuitry for obtaining precise inline process control data as to viscosity of fluids over a wide viscosity range, with high tolerance of ambient noise and vibration. An electromechanical transducer with an oscillating sensor is immersed in a flowing liquid, with the power required to sustain predetermined oscillation parameters being a measure of viscosity-density product. The gain of a variable gain amplifier which provides positive feedback to sustain oscillation is controlled in response to the integrated error signal output of a comparator which compares a DC value corresponding to the RMS amplitude of mechanical oscillation with a DC reference value. The monitoring of RMS amplitude rather than peak amplitude (as is done by a phase-sensitive sample-and-hold arrangement in the prior art), coupled integration of the error signal, results in a great improvement in immunity to ambient noise and vibration.

Abstract: Apparatus for detecting, analyzing and recording cardiac events includes a patient-wearable monitor detecting cardiac events and cardiac rhythm and processing information indicative of those events and rhythm to detect presence of a disturbance in the monitored rhythm by recording selected data from the patient's electrocardiogram before, during and after a detectd cardiac rhythm disturbance.
