Abstract: The invention provides a unique interactive play experience carried out utilizing a toy "wand" and/or other actuation/tracking device. In one embodiment the wand incorporates a wireless transmitter and motion-sensitive circuitry adapted to actuate the transmitter in response to particular learned wand motions. The wand allows play participants to electronically and "magically" interact with their surrounding play environment simply by pointing, touching and/or using their wands in a particular manner to achieve desired goals or produce desired effects. Various wireless receivers or actuators are distributed throughout the play facility to support such wireless interaction and to facilitate full immersion in a fantasy experience in which participants can enjoy the realistic illusion of practicing, performing and mastering "real" magic.

Abstract: A device for receiving and dispensing liquids has a plurality of piston-cylinder units (1, 1′, 1″) which are respectively arranged on a piston plate (2) and a cylinder plate (3). The liquid is received and dispensed by displacing the pistons (1′) in the cylinders (1″) by changing the distance between the plates (2, 3), perpendicularly to the plate planes, by means of a drive mechanism (6) and a plate guiding system. The volume can be determined by an upper abutment (4) and a lower abutment (5), at least one of said abutments being regulatable by a regulating means (8). The device is suitable for handling precise volumes of a larger number of piston-cylinder units (1, 1′, 1″) in a technically simple manner. To this end, the same receiving and dispensing volumes of the piston-cylinder units (1, 1′, 1″) are ensured with low requirements in terms of the surface parallelism of the plate planes during the movement in the plate guiding device, by structuring and arranging the abutments (4, 5) in such a way that the parallelism of the plates (2, 3) is obtained in the upper (9) and lower (10) abutment positions.
