The improved pendulum game can include a computer system which enhances the game experience.

A strategic pattern building game apparatus having a target grid and a rotatable loading tray movable between an elevated position above and aligned with the target grid during play and a folded position adjoining the target grid for transport and/or storage. The game apparatus includes a plurality of playing discs which are placed in channels in the target grid and in the loading tray, and projectile launchers used by players to knock out playing discs until one player achieves four of his/her discs in a horizontal, vertical or diagonal line. The discs are deformable and received at the target grid for being ejected during game play when impacted by the projectile.

A wearable vest having an optical sensor is disclosed with a vessel configured to hold a selected liquid. A nozzle is connected to the vessel. The optical sensor is configured to receive an encoded optical signal from one or more of a plurality of optical signal sources. One or more processors coupled to the optical sensor are configured to determine information in the encoded signal, select a response based on the information, and send a signal to enable the selected liquid to be directed out of the vessel through the nozzle towards a wearer of the wearable vest for a selected period of time based on the selected response.

A marble jump game includes a base, a tube, a marble track, and a plurality of targets. The tube is configured to be removably secured to a corresponding tube of a receiving tube of a marble run module having a receiving tube. The tube defines an axial direction, and is supported at least indirectly by and above the base. The marble track is affixed to the tube, and extends from a first end to a marble exit. The marble track is configured such that when the axial direction is vertically oriented, a marble placed on the marble track proximate the first end traverses the marble channel and exits through the marble exit. Each target of the plurality of spaced-apart targets is with a game value. Each target has a fixed position relative to the others of the plurality spaced-apart targets.

The present application describes liquid release of fluid, preferably water, onto the head or heads of a player or players of an electronic interactive game, which may incorporate virtual reality, mixed reality or augmented reality. In most embodiments, the gameset includes headgear that includes a liquid reservoir for dispensing a liquid on a player. The gameset may include toy “weapons” to simulate play-combat between players, wherein movements or impacts sensed by said weapons can send wireless signals to activate the release of water onto the head or heads of players. The gameset may also include an electronic display to visually present imagery to the player, and a receiver that transmits a signal to a receiver coupled to the headgear to dispense liquid from the liquid reservoir onto a player.

The present invention provides a gaining device for playing a game of laser tag. The gaining device includes a controller configured to control and coordinate functions between various components thereof. The gaining device includes an aiming unit configured to generate infrared light signals and a receiver configured to detect the generated infrared light signals. The gaining device includes a targeting unit configured to generate a vibration when the receiver in the targeting unit detects infrared light signals. The gaining device further includes one or more lights configured to indicate one or more states of the aiming unit and targeting unit. The controller is configured to engage the aiming unit and targeting unit in a stealth mode in which the one or more lights are switched off.

A modular target assembly includes a stand comprising a plurality of modular sections. Each of the modular sections can be removably coupled together. A first target support and a second target support are provided and each of the first target support and the second target support are removably coupled to the stand. A set of first target clamps is each coupled to and extends away from the first target support. Each of the first target clamps releasably engages a target. A set of second target clamps is each of the second target clamps is coupled to and extends away from the second target support. Each of the second target clamps releasably engages the target to retain the target between the first target support and the second target support for target practice.

A strategic pattern building game apparatus having a target grid and a rotatable loading tray movable between an elevated position above and aligned with the target grid during play and a folded position adjoining the target grid for transport and/or storage. The game apparatus includes a plurality of playing discs which are placed in channels in the target grid and in the loading tray, and projectile launchers used by players to knock out playing discs until one player achieves four of his/her discs in a horizontal, vertical or diagonal line. The discs are deformable and received at the target grid for being ejected during game play when impacted by the projectile.

Apparatus and methods for removing leakage from a qubit. In one aspect, an apparatus includes one or more qubits, wherein each qubit facilitates occupation of at least one of a plurality of qubit levels, the qubit levels including two computational levels and one or more non-computational levels that are each higher than the computational levels, wherein the qubit facilitates transitions between qubit levels associated with a corresponding transition frequency; a cavity, wherein the cavity defines a cavity frequency; one or more couplers coupling each qubit to the cavity; one or more couplers coupling the cavity to an environment external to the one or more qubits and the cavity; a frequency controller that controls the frequency of each qubit such that, for each qubit, the frequency of the qubit is adjusted relative to the cavity frequency such that a population of a non-computational level is transferred to the cavity.
