  • Publication number: 20220249905
    Abstract: An item of exercise equipment with a movable support that is movable in a fore-aft direction and simultaneously movable laterally, e.g. about a tilt axis. The exercise equipment may be a cycle mounted to a base. A roller and track arrangement may be provided between the cycle and base, to provide movement of the cycle in the axial direction and in a tilt direction relative to the base. The roller and track arrangement may be one or more curved roller and track engagement surfaces that extend in the axial direction and provide a gravity bias of the platform toward an axial neutral position. The cycle and base include a tilt biasing arrangement for biasing the cycle toward a tilt neutral position relative to the base.

  • Patent number: 11335169
    Abstract: A secure and authentic online player and live dealer video streamed virtual poker system and process is disclosed. The virtual poker platform is implemented as a software-based system with a cloud-based software application service and website that constructs a virtual platform that links professional poker dealers with real players to increase accessibility and to promote unmatched integrity within the online poker community. This allows players the best live feel while being able to play poker remotely and provides all users peace of mind of knowing that their cards are authentic and randomized. Furthermore, the virtual poker platform has a game flow that is a very similar representation to live poker, which provides a similar user experience to real life play, while ensuring that players are playing against other real people and eliminating concerns about programmed computer players and superusers.

  • Publication number: 20210315739
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a fog-reducing apparatus for eye protection equipment. For example, the fog-reducing apparatus includes a filter-pump system that provides air through one or more flexible hoses and across a lens of eye protection equipment. In certain implementations, the fog-reducing apparatus includes one or more nozzles (e.g., interchangeable nozzles) that provide directional air flow across the lens. Depending on the nozzle and/or an air flow controller, the fog-reducing apparatus can provide variable amounts of air flow and adjustable air flow direction as may be desired. In addition, the nozzle can attach to one or more components of the eye protection equipment, such as a lens, shield, or hood via one or more attachment mechanisms. Further, the nozzle can be inserted through an air vent or other hole into the eye protection equipment.

  • Patent number: 10974118
    Abstract: An exercise arrangement includes a movable support that is movable in a fore-aft direction and simultaneously movable laterally, e.g. about a tilt axis. The support may be a platform movably mounted to a base. A roller and track arrangement may be provided between the platform and the base, to provide movement of the platform in the axial direction relative to the base as well as an axially neutral position of the platform relative to the base. The roller and track arrangement may be in the form of one or more curved roller and track engagement surfaces that extend in the axial direction and that provide a gravity bias of the platform toward the neutral position. The roller and track arrangement may provide tilting movement of the movable platform about the tilt axis. A tilt biasing arrangement biases the platform toward a neutral tilt position relative to the base.

  • Patent number: 10583805
    Abstract: A vehicle includes an engine, an input device for controlling a speed of the engine, a seat for an occupant of the vehicle, a seat belt for securing the occupant in the seat, and a seat belt sensor for detecting when the seat belt is buckled. A controller may be operatively connected to the seat belt sensor and the engine for controlling the vehicle in a first mode when the seat belt is buckled and a second mode when the seat belt is unbuckled. The controller may perform various different functions, such as cutting fuel to the engine when the vehicle speed is equal to or greater than a predetermined threshold while operating in the second mode, or receiving input indicating that the input device is released before switching the vehicle to the first mode when the seat belt is buckled while the vehicle is operating in the second mode.
