Abstract: A multi-game, multi-sport, and multi-bet type tournament-style wagering system and method where bettors participate as entrants in a wagering tournament that is carried out over a pre-determined amount of time and establishes a pre-determined entrance fee and a pre-determined prize amount. The tournament makes available a set of predetermined events on which the bettors can place wagers. Within each event, the bettor can place any number of wagers of any desired and available bet type, provided the bettor has enough remaining credits to satisfy the required size of the selected wager. The system permits bettors to continue placing wagers on events that have not begun, and thus are active, even though other events, and their corresponding wagers, are inactive.

Abstract: A flexible light transmitting device, comprising a printable layer, a backing layer, and a light-emitting diode strip disposed between the printable layer and the backing layer. The printable layer is translucent to permit transmission of light from the light-emitting diodes through the printable layer when the light-emitting diodes are activated; however, the LED strip remains hidden between the layers. The printable layer is adapted to receive printed indicia by way of thermal printing process. The backing layer is substantially opaque comprises a durable nylon webbing or polypropylene material. The embedded LED strip comprises an elongated flexible casing containing spaced apart light-emitting diodes, one or more light interrupting spacers, and at least one ribbon wire extending through the casing and electrically coupling said light-emitting diodes. A fastener is disposed through the printable layer, the strip, and the backing layer to secure the strip to prevent breakage or dislodgment.

Abstract: A light-emitting pet comfort harness having a harness body, a neck loop, and a body strap. The harness body includes at least one light-emitting diode (LED) strip comprising a first strip portion and a second strip portion wherein the first strip is substantially perpendicular to the second portion. The first strip is disposed through the neck loop of the harness and the second is disposed along the length of the harness body. The harness is comprised of a fabric material and the LED strip is disposed between two layers of the fabric. The harness may also be comprised of a printable fabric. The LED strip is coupled to a switch assembly which is attached to the neck loop of the device. The switch assembly provides a plurality of operating modes for LEDs. The LED strip is not visible through the fabric although the light emitted from the LEDs is visible.
