Abstract: Exercise system test station systems and methods are provided. The test station may include a frame and a trolley movably coupled to the frame. The trolley may include at least one deployable test assembly configured to perform one or more tests on an exercise system when the exercise system is positioned within the frame. The test station may include a workstation and/or a safety light curtain. The at least one deployable test assembly may include a spinner assembly configured to drive a portion of the drivetrain of the exercise system, a knob tester mechanism, a sound and vibration test module, or any combination thereof. The test station may be provided as part of a production line. The product line may include an AGV configured to carry the exercise system through production. Associated methods of testing the exercise system using the test station are also provided.

Abstract: Asymmetrical resistance systems and methods include an asymmetrical flywheel having a braking track disposed on a first side of the flywheel, and a resistance apparatus comprising at least one magnet, wherein a distance between the magnet and the braking track corresponds to a force resisting rotation of the flywheel. The flywheel includes an outer portion comprising a ferromagnetic material, and the resistance apparatus includes a backing plate disposed on a side of the magnets opposite the braking track. A magnetic field flows from a first magnet to the outer portion of the flywheel through the braking track, back through the braking track to the second magnet, and from the second magnet through the backing plate to the first magnet. While the flywheel is rotating, the braking track moves through the magnetic field creating an eddy current that generates a force resistant to the rotation of the asymmetrical flywheel.

Abstract: A treadmill or exercise machine that incorporates various layers under a moving surface to provide cushioning or impact resilience for a user running/walking on the moving surface of the treadmill or exercise machine is described. In some embodiments, a deck of the treadmill can include or incorporate a cushioned or cushioning layer disposed on the deck, along with a thermal layer and a wear layer. In some cases, the thermal layer is disposed on a top surface of the cushioning layer, and the wear layer is disposed on the thermal layer (e.g., between the thermal layer and the moving surface).

Abstract: A treadmill or other exercise machine having a comb guard is described. For example, an assembly having a comb guard (e.g., an interlaced comb guard) may be disposed at a rear area of a treadmill. The comb guard may deflect objects or debris away from a gap between a moving surface of the treadmill and a rear guard or housing, and thus displace or move objects away from the moving surface of the treadmill.

Abstract: Various systems and methods that enhance an exercise or other physical activity performed by a user are described. In some embodiments, a classification system communicates with a media hub to receive images and perform various methods for classifying or detecting poses, exercises, and/or movements performed by a user during an activity. In some embodiments, the systems and methods include a movements database (dB) that stores information as entries relating individual movements to data associated with the individual movements. Various systems, including class generation systems and body focus/activity systems, can utilize the movements database when presenting class content to users and/or presenting exercise information (e.g., muscle groups worked or targeted) to the users.

Abstract: A deck for a treadmill includes a continuous belt, and a plurality of rollers engaging the continuous belt. The continuous belt and rollers at least partly define cavity of the deck. The deck also includes a first motor configured to modify a position of the deck relative to a support surface on which the deck is supported, and a second motor configured to modify a speed of rotation of the track. The first motor and the second motor are disposed within the cavity.

Abstract: Media hub systems and methods for providing content for display on a device provided. The media system may include a hub and a mount configured to secure the hub to a plurality of structures. The hub may include a camera and be configured to provide content for display on a device. The mount may be configured to couple to the hub via a magnetic connection. The magnetic connection may be configured to allow the hub to tilt relative to the mount to adjust a field-of-view of the camera.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide systems, methods, and computer storage media directed to optimizing engagement with a display during digital assistant-performed operations in response to a received command. The digital assistant generates an overlay having user interface elements that present information determined to be relevant to a user based on the received command and contextual data. The overlay is presented over the underlying operations performed on corresponding applications to mask the visible steps of the operations being performed. In this way, the digital assistant optimizes display resources that are typically rendered useless during the processing of digital assistant-performed operations.

Abstract: Systems and methods for generating user interface elements associated with a guided workout are disclosed herein. For example, by analyzing location data associated with a user device, along with digital content corresponding to the guided workout, the system may generate user interface elements including graphical representations, segmented timelines, and performance metrics associated with a user's progress and performance while consuming the guided workout content. These interface elements may be displayed to the user during and/or after the workout and may allow for user interaction to view varying levels of detail associated with the interface elements.

Abstract: Described herein are embodiments of apparatuses for an augmented reality system wherein a wearable augmented reality apparatus may be constructed to have multiple chambers with circuitry elements that are physically and electrically connected. The embodiments may further include a structure for a circuitry chamber that protects sensitive components from external factors. The embodiments may further include arrangements for subsections and components in a wearable augmented reality apparatus that allow for an overall compliant housing while reducing potential shearing force on embedded components.
