  • Publication number: 20240100396
    Abstract: A system and method for improving completion of an exercise is disclosed herein. In one embodiment, a method of a control system to improve compliance with an exercise plan for an exercise machine includes receiving one or more load measurements from one or more load cells of the exercise machine. The method also includes comparing the one or more load measurements to one or more target thresholds, and determining whether the one or more load measurements exceed the one or more target thresholds. Responsive to determining that the one or more load measurements exceed the one or more target thresholds, the method also includes causing a user interface to present an indication that the one or more target thresholds have been exceeded and an exercise is complete, wherein the exercise is included in the exercise plan.

  • Patent number: 11458363
    Abstract: A system and method for intelligent self-calibration of target load thresholds for users of exercise machines is disclosed herein. In one embodiment, a method includes determining, by one or more processing devices, a bone geometry of a bone in a portion of a body of a user, where said portion is going to be exercised by the user performing an exercise on an exercise machine. The method also includes determining, using the bone geometry, a strain on the bone in the portion of the body of the user such that the strain triggers osteogenesis, determining a target load threshold to be added by the user to the exercise machine during the exercise to achieve the strain that triggers osteogenesis, and, while the user performs the exercise on the exercise machine, causing the target load threshold to be represented on a user interface of a computing device.

  • Patent number: 7946797
    Abstract: An egg transport system has an egg transport module (10) where eggs are stored on a plurality of shelves (20) on a transportable frame (30) with wheels (11). The module (10) is loaded or unloaded by a loader (50, 150) and unloader (70), both of which can be vertical aligned to enable loading/unloading of a selected one of the shelves (20).

  • Patent number: 7047904
    Abstract: An egg harvester (100) has a shuttle (101) where a top run (32) of a conveyor (30) defines horizontal slots (40, 90) to receive eggs from a mat (10) on which eggs are laid. Damaged eggs and litter are separated on a transfer conveyor (60), and the sound eggs are transferred to an egg belt by a transverse conveyor (68). Fresh litter can be laid on the mat (10) as the shuttle (101) advances under the birds (50) in the nests (51).
