Abstract: A system is disclosed including an electronic device having a case housing an operative portion, such as a sound system, CD Player, or the like. A bay is formed in the case and includes a communication channel interface electrically coupled to the operative portion. The system further includes a portable computer, such as a personal digital assistant (PDA). The portable computer is sized to fit within the bay having a communication channel thereof in data communication with the communication channel interface. The portable computer stores applications including one or more control applications programmed to generate control signals in response to user inputs. Applications may display an interface on a touch screen and receive user inputs therefrom. The control signals are transmitted to the operative portion which responds to the control signals by playing music, adjusting a volume level, and the like.

Abstract: A game comprising a toy gun and an electronic target which registers hits produced by the gun. The gun comprises an electronic flash tube connected to a circuit to produce a high voltage unidirectional supply from a low voltage supply. When the gun trigger is depressed, the flash tube is fired and the resulting light is concentrated to produce a relatively narrow beam of light. As well, an audio signal is produced for each press of the trigger. If the beam of light impinges on the electronic target, an audio-visual signal results to indicate a hit.
