摘要:
A recorder system contains a media key block (MKB) and selectively writes protected content into a recording medium according to the following content protection logic, to combat theft of the protected content: If the medium does not have a MKB, then the recorder writes its stored MKB into the medium and writes protected content into the medium. If the medium has a MKB that is older than the stored MKB in the recorder, then the recorder writes its stored MKB into the medium before re-encrypting and writing protected content into the medium. If the medium has a MKB that is newer than the stored MKB, then the MKB in the medium is used for content protection. The recorder may store the newer MKB in non-volatile memory, effectively updating its previous stored MKB, so the recorder will have the most recently observed MKB for content protection use.

A dynamic ride vehicle for executing a sequence of distinct motion patterns and for providing unique ride experiences in an amusement park attraction or other environment includes a movable chassis and a body having a passenger seating area. A motion apparatus, including computer controlled actuators, imparts motion to the body along a plurality of axes independent of any motion of the chassis as it moves along a path. As the vehicle travels along the path, articulation of the body and appropriate steering of the vehicle enables the vehicle to execute, in cooperation with the motion apparatus, a sequence of distinct motion patterns. Execution of the motion patterns enhances the passengers' sensation of vehicle movement that is actually taking place, as well as the sensation of a realistic moving ride vehicle experience that is actually not happening.

A location sensitive display device, system, and method therefor utilized in an entertainment environment. The display device (100) include a receiver (200), a control circuit (210), and indication units (112a-112d). Infrared transmitters are positioned within the entertainment environment and emit a code which is detected and decoded by the receiver (200) or IR photodiode. The receiver generates a control signal in response to the transmitted IR signal, and a control circuit processes the control signal to generate output signals which illuminate Light Emitting Diode (LED) indication units in a sequence determined by the output signals to provide a predetermined visual display. The display can be used in any activity related to the entertainment environment and can be controlled by a user or a central control system. Further, the display device can include a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) screen to provide various types of games including games of skill and trivia games with questions and answers.

An amusement park attraction having a dynamic ride vehicle for executing a sequence of distinct motion patterns and for providing unique ride experiences in the amusement park attraction or other environment. The ride vehicle includes a movable chassis and a body having a passenger seating area. A motion apparatus, including computer controlled actuators, imparts motion to the body along a plurality of axes independant of any motion of the chassis as it moves along a path in the amusement park attraction. As the vehicle travels along the path, articulation of the body and appropriate steering of the vehicle enables the vehicle to execute, in cooperation with the motion apparatus, a sequence of distinct motion patterns. Execution of the motion patterns enhances the passengers' sensation of vehicle movement that is actually taking place, as well as the sensation of a realistic moving ride vehicle experience that is actually not happening.
摘要:
Système et procédé de lancement de projectiles, tels que des projectiles pour feu d'artifice, qui explosent dans l'air en un déploiement pyrotechnique. Le projectile comprend une coquille fabriquée à partir d'un agent de liaison et d'un additif explosif qui fait éclater la coquille en petites particules. L'additif explosif, qui peut être de la nitrocellulose, permet aux particules éclatées de brûler et de se consumer rapidement pour former des flocons légers et inertes qui tombent de manière inoffensive sur le sol. Le projectile est dirigé et lancé par un dispositif de lancement, un gaz comprimé étant utilisé pour expulser rapidement le projectile du tube de lancement. Une fois le projectile dans l'air, et à un emplacement prédéterminé dans le ciel, un détonateur électronique, placé à l'intérieur du projectile, provoque la détonation de ce dernier et produit le déploiement pyrotechnique requis. Le détonateur est extrêmement précis et permet la détonation du projectile à des altitudes précises. Un système de commande électronique commande le lancement et la détonation des projectiles de manière précise et pouvant être répétée.
摘要:
Un appareil (10) permettant la communication visuelle comporte un écran (12) pourvu d'une surface de projection (14) que l'on peut faire alterner au choix entre un état transmissif (16) et un état diffus. A l'état transmissif (16), une caméra (28) placée derrière l'écran (12) enregistre l'image d'un utilisateur (26) de l'autre côté de l'écran (12). A l'état diffus (18), un projecteur (30), également placé derrière l'écran (12), projette une image (20) sur la surface de projection (14). L'appareil (10) peut être disposé soit sous forme de poste unique pour permettre une communication visuelle au profit d'utilisateurs (26) en un seul endroit, soit sous forme de deux postes séparés positionnés en des endroits éloignés pour permettre une communication visuelle bidirectionnelle entre des utilisateurs (26, 126) positionnés à chaque poste. Le positionnement et la synchronisation de la caméra (28) et du projecteur (30) permettent un contact visuel face à face entre les utilisateurs (26, 126).

An ingress-egress system for an amusement ride of the type utilizing a movable cabin (2) operating within an enclosure structure (4) comprises a plurality of first ingress doors (24) located on a first surface of said cabin (2), the ingress doors (24) being aligned with ingress paths (30) in said cabin (2); a plurality of first egress doors (32) located on a second surface of the cabin (2), the egress doors (32) also being aligned with access paths (30) in the cabin (2); a movable ingress platform (22) having a retracted position outside of the operating envelope (14) of the cabin (2) and a deployed position aligned with the first ingress doors (24) when the cabin (2) is in a loading position; a movable egress platform (40) having a retracted position outside the envelope (14) of motion of the cabin (2) and a deployed position aligned with the first egress doors (32) when the cabin (2) is in a loading position; a plurality of second ingress doors (18) in the enclosure (4), the second ingress doors (18) being aligned with the ingress platform (22) when the ingress platform (22) is in its deployed position; a plurality of second egress doors (34) in the enclosure (4) aligned with the egress platform (40) when said egress platform (40) is in its deployed position; restraint means to restrain the passengers in their seats (12) when the cabin (2) is in motion; and means (16) to coordinate actuation of the doors, platforms and restraint means. The system affords rapid ingress and egress to the cabin (2) after it has come to a loading position and prevents deployment of the ingress-egress system and release of the restraints when the cabin (2) is in motion.
