Gaming system employing both action figure and video game play

A gaming system that employs a video game system and action figures to allow both video game play and action figure play. A video game score, obtained by a player through video game play, may be transferred to the action figure associated with that player to become the action figure score of that action figure. The action figures have a gun that generates a light beam and a target detector for receiving light beams from other action figures. The action figure will register a hit, and break apart, if its target detector receives a light beam from another action figure that has a higher action figure score.

Tactile Input Apparatus

A tactile input apparatus comprising ring-shaped elements configured to conform to a user's fingers, tactile capacitance sensors operably affixed to periphery of the ring-shaped elements, and a control unit, is provided. Each tactile capacitance sensor is positioned parallel to the underside of each finger and reads a change in capacitance on contacting the user's thumb or palm. The control unit, in wired or wireless electronic communication with each tactile capacitance sensor and with the user's computing device, continuously transmits capacitance readings multiple times per second to a software on the computing device. The software monitors and processes the capacitance readings from the control unit and controls output to the computing device. The software determines logic and then enacts single or multiple custom outputs. The positioning of the tactile capacitance sensors on the periphery of the ring-shaped elements prevents confinement of the user's fingers and allows mobility of the user's fingers.

An intention is for liquids to be dispensed in a micro-grid pattern, i.e. at grid spacings of less than 1 mm. Either a single liquid at a plurality of spots or a plurality of different liquids are released to the substrate simultaneously from microcapillaries by way of a simultaneous capillary / liquid / substrate contact, but without capillary / substrate contact. In the associated apparatus, by way of a macro-head and individual macrocapillaries, which are arranged in a macro-grid pattern, the liquid is transferred, via a coupling location, into a dispensing head with microcapillaries. The macrocapillaries are coupled to the microcapillaries, which transfer the liquid into the micro-grid pattern.

Temporary photochromic patch for an ophtalmic lens

A process for making a temporary photochromic patch for an ophthalmic lens. A photochromic dye is dissolved in either a siloxane base or curing agent. The base and curing agent are combined to initiate a polymerization reaction that will result in a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) polymer matrix having sufficiently low molecular weight to accommodate the photochromic dye's mobility. The polymerization reaction is completed in a form to create a viscoelastic patch. The resulting patch can be trimmed and temporarily applied to an ophthalmic lens without needing adhesive.
