  • Patent number: 8920230
    Abstract: Game playing apparatus described displaying in an image-space (12) an aspect of a playing environment and overlays on the image-space zones (14,16) that have relevance to playing environment. Event/s occurs in the playing environment in a delineated zone/s. Game participant is able to mark (18) with a marker a zone or zones before the event in anticipation of a reward if they mark the zone in which the event occurs.

  • Publication number: 20050035602
    Abstract: The basic function of this device is to use gravity effects on a fluid to cause energy to be developed in a manor different than the present hydro systems, alleviating the mechanical losses present in their design, as well as the limitations of placement, and layout that cause unnatural disturbances in surrounding natural systems. This design allows the device to be placed effectively on a low level system as well as a high, and still produce an effective output. This is accomplished by ganging low level hydro elevation differences. Territorial elevation differences such as Lake Erie versus Lake Ontario can be used for energy Production as well as tidal changes, as in the Bay of Fundy.
