Abstract: Systems and method for using a modular game accessory to play a video game. A smart toy is presented that can be reconfigured by the player on the fly while playing the video game by adding and removing modules. When the smart toy is reconfigured, the capabilities of the player's in-game avatar are modified accordingly. In this way, the smart toy exists as a hybrid of a physical toy and video game avatar. Modules for modifying the smart toy can represent components and crew of the vehicle represented by the smart toy, and different modules can offer different capabilities to the in-game avatar.

Abstract: A method for giving a concrete surface visual and tactile detectable warnings through adhesive means, the resulting surface, and components of the method are what is described. By adhering the truncated domes to the concrete, installation time is decreased and other costs are averted. This method can be used on a new surface and can also be used to retrofit existing surfaces.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method for giving a concrete surface visual and tactile detectable warnings for pedestrian traffic and users of wheeled conveyances. This method starts with an existing concrete surface on which the detectable warnings are desired. First it is determined where and in what pattern on the surface the detectable warnings are to be placed. Next, the concrete surface is marked at each space where a warning is to be placed. This can be done by manually measuring and marking or by placing a pre-made sticker sheet, cut to the size of the necessary surface and marked in the predetermined pattern directly on the surface. Next, a hole of predetermined depth and diameter is drilled into the surface at each mark. This can be accomplished using any tool or method acceptable for drilling a hole into concrete according to the specifications necessary for the hole. If a two-ply sticker sheet is being used, the first layer is removed. Next, a button is placed in the hole.

Abstract: A portable, knock-down massage chair includes a generally rectangular case having opposed side walls, each provided with an arcuate cutout extending therein from the upper edge thereof. A lid is hinged to a first end wall of the case and openable to gain access to the interior of the case. Stored within the case are a seat member, a leg rest, an arm rest, a chest support, a face cradle, and a brace assembly. The brace assembly comprises a hinged, two-panel assembly stored adjacent to the bottom of the case, and pivotable therefrom out of the top opening to be joined to the lid to form a rigid triangular support assembly. The chest support and the face cradle are slidably supported on the upper panel of the two-panel assembly, and the seat member is secured atop the side walls adjacent to the second end wall of the case. The leg rest is adapted to be secured within the arcuate cutouts of the side walls in a variable angle fashion, and the arm rest is joined to the lid panel.
