Method of generating a three-dimensional interactive tour of a geographic location

A method of the present invention provides a user with an interactive virtual representation of a geographic location expressed to the user through a three-dimensional or a two dimensional representations and combination thereof generated by a system controlled by an operator. The method creates an interactive virtual tour of the geographic location by correlating a two-dimensional map with a three-dimensional representation of an interactive model to allow the user to synchronously navigate through the two-dimensional map and the interactive model in different directions.

Game progression using retrieved partial user data

A system that contains multiple game servers that have a non-user specific unused state, and a user-specific game state. When the game server is providing a game service on the other hand, the game server first obtains the user data for the user and game that is to be initiated. Accordingly, the game servers may be thought of as a bank of game servers, any one of which being potentially utilizable for incoming game requests. Once the game session is completed, the user data for the gamer may be deleted, and the game server goes back into the pool of available generic game servers. The user data is downloaded from a user data store, and may be quite limited to perhaps just that portion of the user data that relates to the game to be played.

Screw-Type Closure Systems With Magnetic Feature

A closure-container system comprising a screw-threaded inner cap that mounts to a screw threaded container, and an overshell that is enabled to rotate and translate relative to the inner cap. As the overshell rotates relative to the inner cap, one or more metallic magnets located in the overshell pull the cap toward one or more metallic elements associated with the container. The overshell and container make direct contact, so there is no unsightly gap. Also, the contact produces a satisfying, reassuring metallic “click” sound, accompanied by a luxurious tactile sensation that, together, dispel the silent ennui normally associated with rotating closures.

The pole has an adjustable angle of inclination relative to the reference surface. The controller has a base, a handle, and an arm extending from a connection with the base to a connection with the handle. The arm has hingable joints which hinge to allow the handle to be translated relative to the base in arbitrary directions across a user surface. The controller further has position sensors which measure the translation of the handle relative to the base on the user surface. The translation provides a corresponding translation of the interrogation plane relative to the reference surface. The handle is rotatable about a rotation axis and is tillable about a tilt axis to allow the handle to be angularly moved relative to the user surface. The controller further has angle sensors which respectively detect the rotation about the rotation axis and the tilt about the tilt axis. The rotation about the rotation axis and the tilting about the tilt axis provide angular movement of the interrogation plane relative to the reference surface corresponding to the angular movement of the handle relative to the user surface.
