Abstract: A method for automatic centering of the rope on a cut to win type arcade game. Once the operator of the machine enters into the automatic setup mode the knife will move semi close to the string and start its procedure. The blade will move toward the string and cut. If the string is not cut the knife will move up a tiny, tiny bit and repeat the procedure over and over until the string is cut. At the time the string is cut, the computer knows now where the string is and will make its final adjustments to the code so the game will play as it was designed.

Abstract: An add on/modification to the Cut 2 Win game that allowed the string in which the game works to be securely threaded into the game with easy and no chance of making a mistake threading it. The second feature of the present invention is that it keeps the string stable and prevents the string from moving if the customer shakes the machine. The computer operating the game needs to know where the string is on this game in order to know how to make the game play properly. If the operator miss-threads the string, the game will not play correct and might give away prizes too early, so the present invention makes sure the string is in the correct position.

Abstract: The present invention teaches a new type of arcade game and game play, which is known as “PERFECT 10”. The present invention teaches a simple game play where a customer tries to stop an LED counter at exactly 10.000. When the player starts the game, the counter begins at 0.000 and begins to count upward. When the counter gets close to 10.000, the customer tries to use the STOP button to get the timers to stop exactly at 10.000.

Abstract: A system to rapidly set up new claw machines for different styles of prizes, while also providing an excellent player experience through dynamically changing claw machine behavior through machine learning algorithms. These systems can be readily installed on most any crane machine by replacing the controller card. The system is configured by means of a control wand physically connected to the controller. Teaching the machine about the prize is accomplished by physically inserting a sample prize into the grabber, and executed a command via control wand to tell the machine to learn. Once configured and taught the prize, the machine is autonomous, and will maintain its programmed profit margin throughout the prizes dispensed by learning player behavior and making adjustments after each play.

Abstract: A controller provides a GUI for accessing a PCB. The controller is used to retrieve information from the controller PCB and to also program other information into it as well as perform diagnostics of the game and machine. The owner of the crane machine can place an object in the crane's claw and then enter a setup mode using the PCB. The game will then proceed to, based on an algorithm, make its own adjustments to properly set the strength of the crane's claw to have the game play properly. The controller is equipped with a wireless access point to allow the owner to remotely access and control all of the same functions as from the controller. An owner is able to program the value of the prize in the game along with the desired amount of money to be collected, to maintain a profitable win ratio.

Abstract: A printed circuit board (PCB) installed on any game machine providing two wires for each meter a user desired to monitor in the machine, and two wires to supply power to the PCB. A monitor attached to any meter ranging from 12 volts to 48 volts that is not polarity specific. The PCB connected via Wifi, regular CAT 5 Internet cable or even via cellular service for areas where the Internet is not available. A single “HUB” per location can provide access and monitoring for a plurality of machines located at one location. The controller can transmit negative and positive alerts provide the user. Additionally, a user can set “alarms” for each item they are monitoring. Using the controller of the present invention, game machines are all wirelessly connected to the game machine comprised of the HUB and can be moved anywhere in the location.

Abstract: A handle and trigger activating a battery powered motor moving a mechanical plunger in a linear motion range. The plunger is placed against a patient's muscle, fascia, tendon, or ligament and is subjected to the repetitive mechanical plunger motion resulting in a deep massage. Plungers of differing shapes, sizes, contours, textures, and hardness may be used and are readily changed. The speed of the device is controlled by the trigger so that if more speed is desired, a user simply depresses the trigger further. Operational modes include: the device set to 30 seconds on the highest power setting, 30 seconds on a middle power setting; the device set to 20 seconds on the highest power setting, 20 seconds on a middle power setting; and the device set to 10 seconds on the highest power setting, 10 seconds on a middle power setting.
