Abstract: Disclosed are an exercise ball as well as a system, method and computer program product for monitoring the use of the exercise ball by a user. An exemplary system comprises: a first data processing unit; an exercise ball comprising a shell and a monitoring unit operatively associated with the shell, said monitoring unit comprising at least one sensor for detecting a parameter representative of the movement of the exercise ball by the user, the first data processing unit being configured to determine and provide the user with data representative of the use of the exercise ball by the user based on parameters representative of the movement of the exercise ball by the user detected by said at least one sensor.

Abstract: A braking system for gymnastic machines having one rotating member, as a flywheel, on which magnetic braking members are arranged, and operating methods thereof. The system comprises a magnetic sensor for detecting the magnetic field intensity induced from the braking members on the flywheel, and a sensor for measuring the rotation velocity of the flywheel. The braking system comprises also a second magnetic sensor, arranged at a predetermined distance from the first magnetic sensor, to measure the magnetic field induced on the flywheel as conditioned by the structure of the gymnastic machine, and a temperature sensor, arranged in correspondence of the first magnetic sensor, to detect the temperature of the flywheel. The system comprises a control logic unit, operatively connected to the first and second magnetic sensor, to the temperature sensor and to the angular velocity sensor.

Abstract: A portable device includes coded information reading means, digital image acquisition means and an illuminator, associated with the acquisition means for acquiring images. The illuminator is powerable by a driving signal which corresponds to a first current signal in a first operating mode for illuminating an image to be acquired and is powerable by the driving signal which corresponds to a second current signal in a second operating mode for emitting a visual indication indicating the outcome of the reading of the coded information, read by coded information reading means. The illuminator, which acts as a flash to acquire an image in the first operating mode, thus also acts as a visual indication of the reading outcome in the second operating mode and illuminates with a continuous or intermittent light the space in front of the illuminator to indicate to an operator that the coded information has been read.
