The present invention comprises an automated integrated information management system for individuals or groups. Algorithms, hardware, software, and human-machine interfaces provide the capability to automatically collect, process, display, and record information related to target sports, and allow secondary participants to process, display, analyze, train, interpret, and aggregate. In preferred embodiments, the various segments of the automated integrated information system are all implemented an operating, although some embodiments may choose to implement only a subset or may add ancillary functions to the invention.

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.

The present invention provides a gaming device for playing a game of laser tag. The gaming device includes a controller configured to control and coordinate functions between various components thereof. The gaming device includes an aiming unit configured to generate infrared light signals and a receiver configured to detect the generated infrared light signals. The gaming device includes a targeting unit configured to generate a vibration when the receiver in the targeting unit detects infrared light signals. The gaming 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 golf course and method of play wherein players start by using a shooting device to shoot a ball from a tee area towards a target area located near a putting green. Once the ball lands the player proceeds to the landing spot to complete the hole by hitting the ball into a cup on the putting green using conventional golf clubs. The target area includes a ricochet wall and a target that has a bullseye. If the player hits the target the player's score is credited but if the player misses the target area entirely the player's score is penalized.

A apparatus and method for operating the apparatus of the present invention provide for a game apparatus incorporating malleable tossing objects and a container wherein the container provides for the ability to have an insert wherein the insert may provide for at least one rigid geometric object on which the malleable tossing object will deflect if the throw of the malleable tossing object lacks precision, further the apparatus provides for an adult beverage theme, and a method for operating the apparatus.

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.

Gaming device with a firing mechanism for shooting a game coin into a coin track, comprising a preferably arc-shaped deflection track and leading to a target device, wherein the deflection track is bordered by a recess in a housing front panel and the target device is arranged in the area of said recess, characterised in that the housing front panel is at least sectionally transparent in design, wherein behind the housing front panel, a visualisation device is arranged such that at least a portion of the visualisation device is visible through the housing front panel and/or through the recess.

An attraction system includes a first level, a second level positioned vertically above or below the first level, and one or more controllers configured to present a game environment to one or more riders in a ride vehicle as the ride vehicle travels along a path on the first level. The attraction system also includes a lift configured to move the ride vehicle vertically from the first level to the second level based at least in part on a performance of the one or more riders in the game environment.

A game board and system is provided for hockey-type play and shooting skill development. The board comprises one or more target holes configured to be substantially prismatic in shape and impact the ability of a puck to pass through depending on its orientation when it reaches a target hole opening. Netting is used beneath target holes to receive pucks. Legs are used to prop the board up at an angle for game play and folded or detached for board storage and transport. To enhance game play, and render the system modular and lightweight the game board system can integrate framing elements and constructed using a variety of materials such as metals, wood-based products, plastic, and fabric. In one configuration the game board system includes metal framing fitted with netting and attached to the underside of the game board to configure the target holes as miniature hockey nets.

A re-configurable game board set can be used to play a variety of games in a variety of configurations and can be compacted for easy storage or transportation. The game board set can be of a size to easily fit on a tabletop and can use coins or similar tokens as playing pieces. Alternatively, the game board set could be larger to be played with larger playing pieces such as beanbags, balls, or discs. Games can be played with or without launching pads.
