Abstract: An adaptable exercise apparatus designed to assisting those with reduced physical abilities, whether due to injury or age, perform a range of low impact exercises and stretches. The apparatus may include a stackable exercise platform having upturned lateral edges serving as ergonomically shaped gripping points. The apparatus may further include a shortened, flat-topped stackable exercise platform with a declined angle terminal end. The shortened flat-topped stackable exercise platform provides an individual with a declined angle on which to stretch individual's calf muscles.

Abstract: An adaptable exercise apparatus designed to assisting those with reduced physical abilities, whether due to injury or age, perform a range of low impact exercises and stretches. The apparatus may include a stackable exercise platform having upturned lateral edges serving as ergonomically shaped gripping points. The apparatus may further include a mobility assistance frame for the purpose of providing a stable support structure to grip with one's hands to gain additional stability and/or leverage while performing various exercises. The mobility assistance frame may include vertical support members on either side of the stackable exercise platform. The mobility assistance frame may also include a trapeze-style bar suspended over the stackable exercise platform allowing an individual an additional structure to grip for the purpose of assisting in the performance of light exercises or stretches.

Abstract: An adaptable exercise apparatus designed to assisting those with reduced physical abilities, whether due to injury or age, perform a range of low impact exercises and stretches. The apparatus may include a stackable exercise platform having upturned lateral edges serving as ergonomically shaped gripping points. The apparatus may further include a cylindrical roller accessory component with terminal ends that are shaped to accommodate the upturned lateral edges of the stackable exercise platform. An individual may lay supine on the stackable exercise platform and push individual's body perpendicularly across the cylindrical roller accessory component applying pressure on the individual's spine and surrounding muscles.

Abstract: An adaptable exercise apparatus for assisting individuals with reduced physical abilities, whether due to injury or age, perform a range of low impact exercises and stretches to the best of their ability given their physical condition. The apparatus comprises a plurality of ergonomically shaped stackable exercise platforms allowing for variable height adjustment and a variety of strength compensating features specially adapted to integrate with the stackable exercise platforms and assist the performance of the individuals.

Abstract: Embodiments of the Promotional Tournament System are comprised of a game within a game. It is funded by the collection of an ante and the amount of payback to the player could be controlled exactly like a slot machine. The promotion is a self-funded promotional system that generates revenue. The Promotional Tournament System is comprised of a game, a game display, a game funding procedure, a game trigger, and an eligibility procedure.

Abstract: An embodiment relates generally to a method of generating user-specified information. The method includes receiving a plurality of points selected on a map to form a first continuous line having one or more vertices. The method also includes generating a closed polygon having a plurality of edges, where at least one edge forms a second continuous line substantially parallel to and spaced apart at a distance from the first continuous line. The method also includes determining a plurality of coordinate pairs each associated with a point on the plurality of edges of the closed polygon and retrieving user specified information for an area enclosed by the plurality of coordinate pairs.

Abstract: A method and system for computer aided design (CAD) is disclosed for designing geometric objects. The present invention interpolates and/or blends between such geometric objects sufficiently fast so that real time deformation of such objects occurs while deformation data is being input. Thus, a user designing with the present invention obtains immediate feedback to input modifications without separately entering a command for performing such deformations. The present invention utilizes novel computational techniques for blending between geometric objects, wherein weighted sums of points on the geometric objects are used in deriving a new blended geometric object. The present invention is particularly useful for designing the shape of surfaces. Thus, the present invention is applicable to various design domains such as the design of, e.g., bottles, vehicles, and watercraft.
