This invention generally provides two tactile stimulation modules, or 'tappers'. One tapper is held by a person in each of his hands. Alternatively, a tapper is secured to each wrist or to other parts of the body on opposite sides. Each tapper is powered by a rechargeable battery, and contains both a tactile stimulation transducer, such as an electric motor having either a balanced or unbalanced mass on its output shaft, and a transceiver that communicates with a host or master. Each tapper includes at least one control button and a status indicator. Each tapper contains a micro-controller that performs tasks such as communication, motor activation, user monitoring and control, battery monitoring, low-power sleep, and algorithm execution. At least one tapper can contain at least one optional sensor, which measures a physiological function. Measurements can be used to modify performance of the tactile stimulation transducers.

Apparatus for administering bilateral tactile stimulation to a human subject

Various embodiments provide systems and methods for live action gaming.

Systems and methods for in-person live action gaming

An alpha ion emitter apparatus, including a circuit, a fluid duct including one or more apertures, and a rail electrically connected to the circuit and operatively arranged to hold an alpha ionization material that emits alpha particles, the alpha particles creating alpha ions, wherein the circuit is operatively arranged to apply an output signal to at least one of the fluid duct and the rail.

Ionizer bar

A sensor for sensing ions, comprising a circuit board assembly, and a core assembly connected to the circuit board assembly, the core including a first electrical conductor and a second electrical conductor.

Ionizer monitoring system and ion sensor

A sensor for sensing ions, including a circuit board assembly, a core, a cage at least partially surrounding the core, a first wire wrapped around the core and connected to the circuit board assembly, a second wire wrapped around the core and connected to the circuit board assembly, and a third wire connecting the cage to the circuit board assembly.

A three-dimensional imaging system relies on effective native image resolution reduction in order to provide an array of pixel clusters, or voxels, with each pixel of the voxel representing a pixel of the image from a unique viewing angle. A 16-megapixel screen having 16-pixel voxels results in a screen having an image capacity downgraded to a 1-megapixel screen capable of showing sixteen different viewing angles. The system can be set up as a rear-projection screen or as a reflective screen illuminated by a front projector. The invention is best implemented with projectors and screens that represent all colors at a single physical location, such as a 3-panel LCD color-combinant projector or a DLP projector, either single or triple chip type. When the RGB sub-pixels are non-coincident, the viewers will see color artifacts that detract from the viewing experience.

In one example, an active cover plate includes a faceplate, a load and a spring clip extending rearward from the faceplate to interface with a receptacle body, wherein the spring clip includes a flexible conductive portion connected to the face plate by a first end and a non-conductive portion connected to an opposite end of the flexible conductive portion, wherein the spring clips extract electrical power from the receptacle body to energize the load.

A coded wireless sensor unit has a slot sized to receive a key card. When a key card is inserted into the slot, the act of insertion generates a energy-harvested power pulse, which powers circuitry that reads electrical device control information coded on the key card and creates a first information packet signal that is transmitted by an on-board transmitter. The signal can be read by a receiver and relayed to a control unit which controls certain electrical devices which consume line power in response to received information packet signals. The control unit decodes received information packet signals and either turns on or activates the electrical devices in accordance with the decoded device control information. Removal of a key card can also be used to generate a power pulse, which creates a second information packet signal that is used to turn off or deactivate the electrical devices.

Tamper-resistant, longer-lasting energy-harvesting switch assemblies that can accommodate longer antennas required for operation in the 315 MHz radio frequency band are provided. In order to accommodate longer antenna that will not fit within the energy-harvesting module, the front major face of the back plate is equipped with a perimetric channel or trough into which a wire antenna can be installed. The problem of rocker wear in prior-art devices caused by abrasive action of the bows is rectified by a redesign of the rocker and the manufacture of a wear-resistant insert that snaps into place at the rear of the rocker. The potential theft problem associated with prior-art devices has been resolved by redesigning the back plate and the retainer clip that engages latches on the redesigned back plate. Non-destructive removal of the retainer clip can be effected only with a special tool.

Passive IR sensor detection circuitry is provided that consumes eighty to ninety percent less power than conventional PIR sensor detection circuitry. Whereas prior art PIR sensor detection circuitry employs multiple amplification stages, to boost the power of the weak sensor signal, and a window comparator to determine whether an occupancy condition exists, the present invention uses, at most, a single amplification stage and no window comparator. In place of multiple amplification stages and a window comparators, the PIR sensor circuitry of the present invention uses a sensitive microcontroller to both detect and process the signal. A peak detector can be added just before the signal&#x2014;whether amplified or not&#x2014;is received by the microcontroller. Decay time of the peak detector is adjusted so that the signal will not substantially decay between measurements.
