  • Patent number: 8894068
    Abstract: A multiple target electronic dart gaming machine having shared electronic components. According to certain embodiments, the multiple targets are mounted on opposite sides of a game board of a target assembly that is housed in a cabinet of the gaming machine. The gaming machine may be floor-standing or wall mountable. Either affixed above the top of the target assembly, below the bottom of the target assembly, or both, is a visual display video monitor for providing players and observers with game scores and the like. The game board may be axially rotated between at least first and second positions so as to allow game play on the different targets. Additionally, the position of the game board may be detected through the use of a detector on or in the board.

  • Publication number: 20100279804
    Abstract: A virtual shuffleboard table gaming apparatus including a housing having a playing field, a game acquisition circuit, and a display. As a puck is propelled towards a puck return at the distal end of the playing field, the puck temporarily obstructs at least two beams from transmitters. Sensors that receive the transmitted beams provide information to the game acquisition circuit indicative of the time when the beams were blocked and unblocked. The duration of time the beams are block are used by a game controller to calculate the angle of travel, location, and velocity of the puck. This information is then used by the game controller to determine the travel path and resting place of a virtual puck on a virtual playing field, as well as determine whether the virtual puck rests in a scoring zone and maintain a game score.

  • Patent number: 7165803
    Abstract: A vehicle tonneau cover design that adjustably accommodates changes in the size of the tarp of the tonneau cover due to weather or the like and provides stable attachment of the tarp to the vehicle. The tonneau cover includes a tarp, a frame coupled to the vehicle, and a latch assembly made up of a latch bar attached to the free end of a cover and a pair of latch mechanisms used to lock the latch bar to the frame at an attachment point. The latch mechanisms are releasable and adjustable to change the longitudinal position of the attachment point relative to the frame.
