Patent CA-2500696-A1 (CA)
Inventor: DAVIS MARK ANTHONY
IPC: A63D15/00
Filed: 2005-03-15
Abstract: A training apparatus and method for games such as billiards is provided wherein the training apparatus includes a projector body supported by an elongated trunk. The apparatus can be positioned on a playing surface where the projector body is vertically above an object ball that can be received by alignment stops for properly positioning the object ball below the projector body. By activation of electronics in the projector body, a path can be projected that is aligned with and indicates the intended object ball path. This object ball path or line typically will line up with and be a path to a desired pocket for the object ball to be caused to enter. A second path from the projector body can be projected as a target strike location, which can be a vertical target line or a predetermined geometric configuration, can be projected onto the surface of the object ball to indicate a desired contact or strike point, also referred to as an impact location, at which the cue ball should strike the object ball to cause the object ball to move along the intended object ball path. Reference lines can be emitted from the projector body to indicate the resultant cue ball path subsequent to striking the object ball at the vertical target line. An incandescent light or a holographic image can be projected from the projector body behind the object ball to provide a ghost ball or image representing the target impact location for the cue ball to strike the object ball. As a result, a user may select an object ball target objective, receive visual input on the optimum impact location in various formats, and receive feedback information on the resultant cue ball path.

Abstract: The invention provides for a means to improve chilling capacities of draught beer dispense systems. This invention is comprised of a refrigeration condensing unit and a heat exchanger that is added to existing draft beverage delivery systems so that coolant in the system may be cooled prior to its return to the main refrigeration unit. Generally beverages are stored in containers that are kept in remote walk-in refrigerators. Drinks may be dispensed at a location several hundred feet away from the storage container. The beverage trunk line used to transport the beverage to the dispensing tap is generally made up of a multi-line insulated construction that contains two central cooling liquid lines that will bring a cold glycol/water mixture, or ice water to the tap and back in a closed loop to maintain the beverage's temperature. The refrigeration system that cools the cold glycol/water mixture, or ice water may at times be overburdened due to high ambient temperatures, high inlet beverage temperatures, high demand of beverages or additional beverage cooling heat exchange units added to the system.

Patent CA-2520917-A1 (CA)
Inventor: JAMES-HERBERT ROBERT
IPC: A63F13/06
Filed: 2003-06-17
Abstract: A computer game controller (1) includes a tripod (12) from which a game player is suspended in a chair harness (52), or the like. A bearing (20) allows movement of the chair either back and forth and side to side, or rotationally about a vertical axis. Movement of the chair is monitored by a sleeved stem which moves in the same manner as a joystick plus rotational controller.  Adjustable handlebars (24) including control means are fixed to the frame. A  player supported by the chair or harness may move the chair or harness to control a car, plane, bike, avatar, or other sprite in the computer game.  Other control functions are mounted on the handlebars and are operably by the player~s hands. In use a player gasps the handlebars and controls the game~s sprite by moving his or her body to move the sleeved stem~s joystick type control. Thus the player is able to utilise their entire body to control action in the computer game, and exercise at the same time as playing the game. Elastic straps (70, 72, 74) may extend between the chair, harness or the like to increase the effort required for the player to move, thus providing increased levels of exercise. The frame is collapsible for storage and transport purposes. The handlebars and chair are adjustable to suit the game being played on the console and the size of the player.
