Abstract: A method and system for providing advertisement services to a user of pre-paid telephony services includes communicating a PIN via a telephone link to a voice response unit, using a PIN-based index of pre-recorded services to generate a valid access request and matching the PIN link to an existing pre-recorded audio service. The person accessing the voice response unit can control telephonic access to the server or merchant who is offering the service or advertisement via telephone keypad instructions transmitted to the voice response unit and passed on to the data management server. The pre-recorded audio services may be, e.g., stored on a server as digital audio source, several control data fields including the PIN range associated with that message, a field for a dial-to number to the Audio Services Provider/Owner and fields to contain accounting numbers.

Abstract: Connector test cards provide for improved printed circuit board (“board”) testability by terminating each etch routed to an unmated connector on the board. With the connector test card mated with the connector on the board under test, the integrity of solder joints between the connector and the board may be tested for opens and shorts on a standard in-circuit or fixtureless tester. In addition, during functional testing, a connector test card may be mated with a connector on the board to prevent the voltage levels on undriven component inputs on the board from floating.

Abstract: An exercise machine with a seat and two adjustable cranking mechanisms is disclosed. The first cranking mechanism has rotatable hand grips for grasping by the user's hands while the second cranking mechanism has rotatable pedals for engagement by the user's feet. This second cranking mechanism is located at a position vertically below the location of the seat, allowing the exerciser to use his or her body weight when pushing downwardly on the pedals. Additionally, each cranking mechanism is selectively adjustable to a plurality of exercise positions. This makes the machine adaptable to all exercisers regardless of their size and shape and permits the user to selectively vary the exertion required during the exercise.

Abstract: An exercise machine with a seat and two adjustable cranking mechanisms is disclosed. The first cranking mechanism has rotatable hand grips for grasping by the user's hands while the second cranking mechanism has rotatable pedals for engagement by the user's feet. This second cranking mechanism is located at a position vertically above the location of the seat. Therefore, the exerciser may not use his or her body weight when exerting pressure on the pedals. This machine exercises virtually all of a user's muscle groups, however, the configuration of the seat vertically below the second crank mechanism results in a particularly strenuous activity for a user's hamstrings. Additionally, each cranking mechanism is selectively adjustable to a plurality of exercise positions. This makes the machine adaptable to all exercisers regardless of their size and shape and permits the user to selectively vary the exertion required during the exercise.
