Patent number: 11975236Abstract: A stationary bike capable of leaning of tilting side to side during use is described. The stationary bike has a fixed frame portion and moving frame portion which is pivotally mounted on the fixed frame portion, at two spaced apart pivot locations, to allow the moving frame to pivot about a pivot axis defined by the two spaced apart pivot locations. The pivotal action of the bike may be resisted, such as by a damper. The tilt-enabled bike is equipped with a tilt disabling mechanism, e.g., a locking mechanism configured to selectively and operatively engage the moving and the fixed frame to disable the relative movement (i.e. the pivoting) of the moving frame.Type: GrantFiled: March 30, 2022Date of Patent: May 7, 2024Assignee: BowFlex Inc.Inventors: Todd D. Anderson, Brian Venturella, Jeffrey A. Gettle, Edana French, Marcus Marjama, Edward L. Flick, Dan Consiglio

Publication number: 20240094632Abstract: Precursor solutions for radiation patternable coatings are formed with an organic solvent and monoalkyl tin trialkoxides in which the water content of the solvent is adjusted to be within 10 percent of a selected value. Generally, the water content of the solvent is adjusted through water addition, although water removal can also be used. In some embodiments, the adjusted water content of the solvent can be from about 250 ppm by weight to about 10,000 ppm by weight. With the appropriate selection of ligands, the adjusted precursor solutions can be stable for at least about 42 days, and in some cases at least 8 months.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 28, 2023Publication date: March 21, 2024Inventors: Kai Jiang, Stephen T. Meyers, Lauren B. McQuade, Jeremy T. Anderson, Brian J. Cardineau, Benjamin L. Clark, Dominick Smiddy, Margaret Wilson-Moses

Publication number: 20150053103Abstract: A method for producing a lithographic plate from a negative working, radiation imageable plate having an oleophilic resin coating that reacts to radiation by cross linking and is non-ionically adhered to a hydrophilic substrate. The steps include imagewise radiation exposing the coating to produce an imaged plate having partially reacted image areas at an initial double bond conversion rate including unreacted coating material, and completely unreacted nonimage areas; developing the plate by removing only the unreacted, nonimage areas from the substrate while retaining unreacted material in the image areas; and subjecting the upper surface of the plate to blanket post treatment energy, which further reacts the retained unreacted material in the image areas to increase the initial double bond conversion rate, producing a lithographic printing plate with enhanced durability.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 5, 2014Publication date: February 26, 2015Inventors: Howard A. Fromson, William J. Ryan, Anthony Paul Kitson, Brian L. Anderson
