An electronic game board that simulates moves of one or more players includes a top cover that includes a play area onto which game pieces are arranged for facilitating a game. The electronic game board further includes a drive system located beneath the top cover for simulating the moves on the play area by moving at least one game piece from a first position on the play area to a second position on the play area. The drive system includes a robotic arm and first and second actuators for controlling movement of the robotic arm. To simulate the move, the first and second actuators control the movement of the robotic arm such that the game piece is moved from the first position to the second position by way of the robotic arm.

The present disclosure relates to the field of decor items, and more particularly relates to a pendulum unit and a wave pendulum assembly based on the pendulum unit, wherein the wave pendulum assembly comprises a frame and a plurality of first magnetic bodies, respective first magnetic bodies being connected to the frame via strings and being hung in the air; second magnetic bodies, the amount of which is identical to that of the first magnetic bodies, the second magnetic bodies being fixedly disposed below the first magnetic bodies in a one-to-one correspondence; in the first magnetic bodies and the second magnetic bodies, at least one party may generate magnetism when being energized, such that at least one of the first magnetic body and the second magnetic body may generate magnetism when being energized, such that the first magnetic body may swing periodically in the air under a magnetic action between the first magnetic body and the second magnetic body.. The wave pendulum assembly provided by the present disclosure has beneficial effects such as a simple structure, a good reliability, and an appeal for viewing.

An electromagnetic game board includes a configurable grid of electromagnets under a game board to move game pieces on the board. Alternative to electromagnets is acoustic levitation through soundwave. In an oscillating electric field (four sides), a magnet can create excite ultrasound that quickly contract and rebound its original shape to push out pulses of air.

Disclosed is a gaming unit for a gaming system, the gaming system comprising the gaming unit and a plurality of playing pieces, each playing piece of the plurality of playing pieces comprising a magnet and having an identifier. The gaming unit comprises: a play zone for arranging one or more playing pieces of the plurality of playing pieces on the gaming unit; a control unit; and a first magnetic unit configured to generate or alter a magnetic field for magnetically affecting one or more playing pieces arranged in the play zone. The first magnetic unit being operationally connected to the control unit. The control unit is configured to detect the identifier of a playing piece arranged in the play zone and responsive to the detection of one more particular identifiers generate a control signal controlling the first magnetic unit to generate or alter a magnetic field thereby magnetically affecting one or more playing pieces in the play zone.

A controlled stimulation device used either alone or in conjunction with a treatment device to reduce amount of pain a patient may experience during a treatment with the treatment device.

An automated game board apparatus configured to, upon receiving a command from a player, determine a path from an origin segment to a destination segment and automatically move a selected game piece from the origin segment to the destination segment; wherein, if one or more intermediate segments along the path are occupied by other game pieces, the selected piece is moved along the boundaries of the occupied segment; and wherein, if the destination segment is occupied, the apparatus is further configured to automatically replace the existing game piece with the selected game piece by moving the existing game piece to substantially the boundary of the destination segment and moving the selected game piece to substantially the centre of the destination segment. In preferred embodiments, the invention utilizes electromagnets, correlated electromagnet array technology (CEAT), and/or correlated magnets.
