  • Patent number: 10391353
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is an exercise board assembly that includes an exercise board, a support leg, and one or more rocker surface(s). The support leg is pivotally mounted to the exercise board and can be secured in at least two positions, including one to arrange the board in a stable angled configuration relative to a floor and a folded position. The support leg can be locked in a number of positions so that a user can perform different exercises using the exercise board. The rocker surface may support the exercise board on the floor surface when the support leg is in the folded position. When engaged with the floor, the rocker surface(s) cause the board to be unstable, thereby causing it to rock or tilt relative to the floor. Stops may be included to limit a range for rocking of the board relative to the floor surface.

  • Patent number: 9934688
    Abstract: A system includes a computer programmed to identify, from a first vehicle, one or more second vehicles within a specified distance to the first vehicle. The computer is further programmed to receive data about operations of each of the second vehicles, including trajectory data. Based on the data, the computer is programmed to identify, for each of the second vehicles, a distribution of probabilities of each of a set of potential planned trajectories. The computer is further programmed to determine a planned trajectory for the first vehicle, based on the respective distributions of probabilities of each of the set of potential planned trajectories for each of the second vehicles. The computer is further programmed to provide an instruction to at least one controller associated with the first vehicle based on the determined planned trajectory.
