Abstract: Innovative systems and methods are disclosed for adjusting the perceived flow of time in a multiplayer videogame system. A game mechanism is provided to slow the perceived flow of time for an initiator player, players in the line of site of the initiator, players seeing any other players in an altered time mode and players seen by players in an altered time mode. Meanwhile, other players not fitting these criteria continue to experience a normal perceived flow of time. This permits the use of the time slowing mechanic without negatively affecting all players in the multiplayer game.

Abstract: The anti-skid/anti-slip safety mat is composed of a fiberglass mesh base layer onto which is layered a fiberglass or epoxy resin. Crushed aggregate is broadcast onto the fiberglass or epoxy resin which will bind to the fiberglass mesh base layer as the fiberglass or epoxy resin cures. The result is a nonskid/nonslip safety mat that can be used as a safety device in a variety of commercial, industrial and residential applications. The anti-skid/anti-slip safety mat can be constructed in various sizes and shapes to accommodate the surface to be covered.
