Abstract: An electronically actuated coin slider provides an appearance and operation similar to a conventional coin-activated slider without the use of coins. A card reader activates the coin slider and allows a user to push the slide bar to actuate a game, machine, or device in a manner similar to that of a convention slider. A servo motor engages or disengages latching hooks to prevent or allow operation of the slide bar.

Abstract: A sensor rod assembly includes a master stick and an extension stick, where the master stick and the at least one extension stick are couplable together via at least one of a physical coupling, an electrical coupling, or a communicative coupling. The sensor rod assembly includes a controller with one or more processors, where the one or more processors are communicatively coupled to at least one set of detection circuitry and a user interface, where the one or more processors are configured to execute a set of program instructions configured to cause the one or more processors to receive one or more detection signals from at least one of the master stick or the extension stick and configured to cause the one or more processors to determine an elevation of a laser light based on the received one or more detection signals.

Abstract: The compact and portable interactive system allows person-to-person communication in a typed language format between individuals experiencing language barriers such as the hearing impaired and the language impaired. The communication system includes a custom configuration having a display screen and a keyboard, a data translation module for translating the original data from a first language type to a second language type. The display screen shows a split configuration with multiple dialogue boxes to facilitate simultaneous display of each user's input. The system supports multilingual text-based conversations as well as conversion from audio-to-text and text-to-audio conversations. Translation from one communication format to a second communication format is performed as messages are transmitted between users.
