  • Patent number: 11443597
    Abstract: A urinal-based multiplayer gaming system is provided. The system includes a plurality of urinals, each including a respective urine sensing system, each urine sensing system configured to sense, when active, a urine stream attribute of urine collected at that urinal. A common display is viewable from each of the plurality of urinals. A processing system is configured to: execute a computer-implemented game responsive to urine stream attributes received from the active urine sensing systems; and render game graphics on the common display during execution of the computer-implemented game, wherein the game graphics include, for each of the active urine sensing systems, a corresponding graphical component.

  • Patent number: 6419197
    Abstract: A keyboard support system attaches to an edge of a work surface. The work surface includes a working surface and an underside. The keyboard support system includes a keyboard platform configured for supporting a keyboard. A U-shaped mounting bracket includes a top wall having a lower surface, a monolithic bottom wall and a middle wall interconnecting the top wall and the bottom wall. The bottom wall has an upper surface and a lower surface with a pair of integral, opposing guide rails projecting therefrom. Each guide rail has a length oriented substantially parallel to the bottom wall. The middle wall is configured to both resiliently bias the lower surface of the top wall against the working surface of the work surface and resiliently bias the upper surface of the bottom wall against the underside of the work surface, thereby clamping the work surface between the top wall and the bottom wall.

  • Patent number: 6382577
    Abstract: A support device for a computer monitor or the like having a support platform and an arm connected to the platform and adapted for attachment to a base structure. Positioning of the support platform is secured by frictional engagement of coil springs on surfaces. Release mechanisms may be activated to change diameters of the coil springs, unsecuring the engagement of the springs against the surfaces. Varying spring constants allows progressive release of more than one spring.
