Abstract: A novel game system and method are disclosed. The system comprises one or more lighting components which may be removably secured to the bottom of one or more cups. The lighting components comprise a battery, an LED, and substrate having an adhesive. A user attaches the lighting component to the bottom of a cup using the adhesive. The user can then turn on the lighting component to cause the cup to glow a certain color. The user places liquid within the cup. The user then attempts to bounce or throw a ball into the cup. The user may use a plurality of lighting components and cups to create a configuration of enlightened cups.

Abstract: A wireless access point includes a radio frequency adapter for transmitting and receiving data, a wireless network adapter for transmitting and receiving data, and a memory comprising a proctor assessment program. The proctor assessment program is configured to receive, via the radio frequency adapter, data representative of a response to an assessment question. The proctor assessment program is further configured to store the data representative of the response in the memory. The proctor assessment program is further configured to transmit, via the wireless network adapter, the data representative of the response.

Abstract: A locking device for securing loads in the bed of a pick-up truck, moving truck hauler, and for use generally in locking loads being transported in any type of truck.

Abstract: A time division multiplexing (TDM) digital audio signal processing and communication system is disclosed. The preferred embodiment applies time division multiplexing to a digital audio data transfer environment by providing a TDM patch bay bus structure to which digital audio devices can be plugged into and digital audio data transfer connections made. In the preferred embodiment, the patch bay bus structure includes the bus connection structure, a bus controller and a plurality of digital audio processing devices which each communicate with the bus structure which uses three (3) separate buses: A data bus, control bus and an address bus. Each processing device not only has its own unique address, but also one or more group addresses. Thus, the system allows communication to single recipient devices or multiple recipient devices in one time slice of the TDM signal.
