| 87 | Laser safety controller | US12557956 | 2009-09-11 | US08389919B2 | 2013-03-05 | Theodore Bruce Ziemkowski; John Bonvallet |
| A laser controller may operate a laser at a high power level, such as Class 3R, Class 3B, or higher, but may have safety interlocks to limit exposure to a safe level and may, as a system, be classified as Class 1. The laser controller may control a laser that transmits a light beam to a sensor, and may operate the laser in a high power mode when the sensor senses the light beam. While a laser is transmitting and the laser beam is not sensed, the laser may be operated within Class 1 power levels. When the light beam is broken, the laser controller may turn off the laser or change the power level to a safe level such that a person would not be exposed to any more energy than a Class 1 level. The laser controller may use various mechanisms to set a detection threshold and may use an ambient light sensor to determine when detection may be impossible. | ||||||

| A chance-based water game for randomly spraying none, one or multiple individual players includes a housing with an inlet for a pressurized water source; a disc-shaped selector, and a trigger. The housing also comprises a series of tubes and nozzles for directing the pressurized water at the players. The trigger is connected to a valve for permitting a predetermined amount of pressurized water to pass through the device. When the trigger is activated, water travels from the pressure source, into the housing, past the trigger valve, and into a manifold where the single stream of water is channeled through a valve and gasket to none, one or multiple individual circuits corresponding to none, one or multiple nozzles. The selector determines the circuits, if any, through which the water passes. | ||||||

| A method of competitive game play is provided utilizing a plurality of balls or other discrete play media. Balls may be tagged or otherwise identified with a differentiating color, size, weight, printed code or other identification/tracking means, as desired. The game is configured such that individual play participants or groups of play participants (e.g., boys vs. girls) can effectively compete with other players or groups of players within the same game based on interactions with various game inputs distributed throughout the game system. The game inputs advantageously enable players to selectively control or direct ball movement and/or other play media movement to various desired collection areas, scoring areas, targets and/or the like. Play participants competitively play and interact with the gaming system and/or with one another to achieve desired goals and/or produce desired effects. | ||||||
