  • Publication number: 20150265911
    Abstract: An electronic Tic Tac Toe game designed to be played on mobile devices such as smartphones or tablets, or on a computer. It is normally played by two players who may be physically at the same location, or who may be at different locations and playing the game with each other while connected through the internet or a cellular connection or other type of network. The players take turns selecting positions on a three by three grid, and the game proceeds. A winner is declared when any player has achieved three of their markers in a row, with a row being any direction to include horizontal or vertical or diagonal. Thus, on the three by three grid, there are a total of eight rows that can accommodate three markers in a row for a winner to be declared.

  • Patent number: 9011301
    Abstract: An exercise apparatus that provides multiple different exercises for a User, including both resistance movements and isometrics. The User interacts with the apparatus by grasping a bar. A resistance mechanism is symmetrically mounted on a second bar and provides infinitely variable resistance to the User, as well as soundproof operation. There is a vertical column that allows infinite positioning of the bars for different bodily exercises, and a bench for support. The User can change the exercise resistance by verbal commands, or the apparatus can vary the exercise resistance in response to the force applied by the User. The apparatus can be operated at locations where electric service is permanently unavailable, or in zero gravity; and the apparatus can be mounted inside a shallow closet and hidden from view. To verify accuracy, the resistance can be calibrated against a known quantity of weight.
