  • Publication number: 20090200739
    Abstract: The present invention provides a board game and a method of play thereof to challenge the olfactory sense of the player. The game includes a game playing surface, a location generator, a position marker and a plurality of scent generating media. The game playing surface has at least two different venues and each scent generating media has a scent associated with one of the venues. The location generator has an indicator for each venue. The position maker indicates a location of each player on the game playing surface. Each of the plurality of scent generating media has a scent associated with one of the venues.

  • Patent number: 4350941
    Abstract: A motion control system includes a single stage gear reducer and power screw, a brushless variable-speed electric motor with position and velocity sensing instrumentation, a solid state power amplifier, and a programmable controller. During operation an absolute positional reference is established when the slide actuates a non-contacting limit switch to signal that the slide is within less than one motor revolution of the correct starting point. A memory accessible by a microprocessor has paired values of velocity and position stored in a table representing ideal such values for deceleration portions of the motion cycle. Alternatively, the microprocessor computes each new value of position and velocity in real time as required to update the velocity commands sent to a comparator. The comparator compares the predetermined slide position to the actual slide position and signals the microprocessor that a change in output to the motor power supply is required.
