  • Publication number: 20120122367
    Abstract: Remote control of a toy helicopter by projecting a modulated Infra-Red light spot on a wall. The spot is beamed from a hand-held remote control unit and aimed by the user in different directions. The helicopter follows that spot by a controlled ascend or descend if the light spot is above or below the helicopter respectively, as well as turns right or left in the direction of the light spot.

  • Publication number: 20120115394
    Abstract: An adaptive remote control unit that automatically reads the changing real-time physical orientation of its remote controlled object, or other of its momentary features, and henceforth transmits commands to the remote controlled object that are a function of such reading as well as a function of user's own input control, for the purpose of achieving a unique pre-defined movement pattern, or otherwise adjust the behavior of the object in relations to its real time situation.

  • Publication number: 20050157668
    Abstract: A wireless link system that allows multiple users to control and/or transfer data simultaneously from/to multiple wireless remote control units—to/from multiple wireless devices within a single radio frequency band. Such system consists of one or several remote units and one or several controlled devices. Each remote unit can be paired with a specific controlled device and control and/or transfer data to/from that specific controlled device without interfering with any other remote unit-controlled device pairs active at the same time, while all are the same frequency range.

  • Patent number: 6527655
    Abstract: A counting racket comprises a racket assembly defined by a handle, a throat and a racket face. The throat extending from the handle to the racket face. The racket assembly housing a electronic components which comprise: a controller, a memory, a power source, an acoustic sensor, a speaker, and at least one switch. The electronic components constructed and arranged to count a number of hits made when an object strikes the racket face. The electronic components further constructed and arranged to audibly recite the number of hits made by the object against the racket face.

  • Patent number: 6254486
    Abstract: Disclosed is a gaming system which utilizes successively transmitted infra-red signals. The system includes two user controlled components which interact with one another. In the preferred embodiment, each component is made up of a hand-held controller and a robot. The controller has both directional controls and a fire control. When a fire control signal is initiated a signal is transmitted to the robot. Upon its reception, a new signal is generated and transmitted by the robot. In this manner, weapons fire is simulated.
