Abstract: A fitness system for enhancing the effectiveness and efficiency of physical training and/or exercise by a user comprises uses (1) a plurality of sensors that are worn by an exercising user and which generate data concerning monitored body processes pertaining to the exercise's effects on the user's body, (2) a processor operates under software control for processing, storing, and analyzing the data, and sending the processed data to a host device using a wireless communication protocol to communicate desired adjustments to the exercise in real time. The host device can be a smartphone, tablet computer or other web accessible device that can display and communicate bilaterally with the processor.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to an apparatus and method for detecting the presence or absence of a discontinuity on a glass surface. The apparatus includes a transmitting means for directing and receiving infrared electromagnetic radiation relative to the glass surface, a positioning means for positioning the transmitting means in a fixed angular and distance relation with respect to the glass surface, and a sensing means for determining the relative magnitude of the received radiation, the magnitude being indicative of the presence or absence of a discontinuity. The apparatus may be translated relative to the glass surface to detect discontinuities therealong.
