Abstract: A control system for a powertrain of a vehicle includes a set of sensors configured to monitor a set of operating parameters of the vehicle indicative of at least (i) whether a driver of the vehicle is in control of the vehicle, (ii) an intended direction of motion of the vehicle, and (iii) actual motion of the vehicle and a controller configured to, based on the set of operating parameters determine whether the driver of the vehicle is in control of the vehicle and when the driver is determined not to be in control of the vehicle determine whether the actual motion of the vehicle is in the intended direction of motion of the vehicle and when the actual motion of the vehicle is not in the intended direction of motion of the vehicle, control a torque output of the engine to hold the vehicle stationary.

Abstract: A leg press machine with a weight plate transfer mechanism to reduce exercise resistance while remaining seated on the machine. Weight plates are movably supported within a sliding housing, rather than being received on a pair of side pegs, as in conventional leg press machines. One of the weight plates can be pushed to roll from the sliding housing to a storage housing by the exerciser using a weight transfer actuator, allowing the exerciser to reduce the exercise resistance conveniently while remaining seated. The storage housing is positioned with an open side facing an open side of the sliding housing so as to receive the weight plate pushed and rolled from the sliding housing. Additionally, by positioning the storage housing at substantially the same height as the sliding housing, the exerciser can easily roll one or more weight plates between the two housings so as to reduce the exercise resistance.

Abstract: Systems for studying motion are provided. A computing device [10] has a processor [20], an accelerometer [11], a gyroscope [12], a magnetometer [13] and storage/computer readable media [30] in communication with one another. The computing device [10] can sense, classify, qualify and/or quantify real-time motion data of a moving target against classified initial motion data in a motion library [32]. Motion data is processed as particularized units of motion. The computing device [10] may use machine learning algorithms for “training” and “learning.” The computing device [10] can be used in many industries, including the fitness industry, where computing device [10] can be used with wearable technology.

Abstract: An exercise machine utilizing a dynamically controlled resistance technique. The machine employs two pivoting torque arms. Movement of a first torque arm is initiated by a user while performing an exercise routine. A strap and pulley system is utilized to guide a mobile member along the second torque arm to change the resistance perceived by the user. Weights can be added to the mobile member to further increase the perceived resistance. Hand levers are positioned to be operated by the user, which levers function to effect the movement of the mobile unit at any instant during the exercise routine.

Abstract: Formulations are provided for the trigger and release of bioenergy. The formulations generally include a trigger complex, an elemental complex and a coenzyme-vitamin B complex. The trigger complex is high in fiber and includes at least one metal-binding protein in an alkaline buffer system. The elemental complex includes one or more trace element as a suitable salt. The coenzyme-vitamin B complex includes one or more coenzyme, coenzyme precursor and/or B-vitamin. The compositions can be administered orally in a variety of forms.

Abstract: An integrated loadcell system, having a loadcell body having a leg connected to a spanning member, the leg having a transducer mounted thereto and a housing coupled to the loadcell body forming a wheatstone bridge circuit with the transducer; where an output of the wheatstone bridge circuit is indicative of a load experienced by the loadcell body.

Abstract: A weight training machine having a dynamically controlled resistance capability. The user exercises by causing an exercise arm to pivot. Pivoting coaxially with the exercise arm, is a pivot arm which supports a secondary weight. To pivot the exercise arm, the user must overcome a primary resistance and the torque on the pivot arm due to the secondary weight. The torque due to the secondary weight can be dynamically varied by varying the position of the secondary weight on the pivot arm. Thus the resistance experienced by the user, can be varied within a predetermined range. A force input mechanism engageable with a body part of the user is also disclosed which reduces discomfort to the user during exercise.
