Abstract: Systems and methods disclosed herein concern a motorized fitness wheel. The fitness wheel includes a wheel that rotates about an axle with two handles that extend outward from respective sides of the wheel along the rotational axis. In use, the user grasps the handles with their hands and rolls the wheel back and forth along the floor. A motor is configured to apply a torque to the wheel in either forward or backward direction to apply resistance or assistance and enhance the exercise. A position sensor feeds positional information of the motor to a microcontroller. Based on the positional information, the microcontroller dynamically controls the output torque of the motor as a function of one or more torque trajectories. The torque trajectories define the output torque of the motor over a cycle of the exercise as a function a spatial variable (e.g., wheel position) and/or time.

Abstract: An exercise system and a method of using a motorized fitness wheel to perform an exercise on a generally vertical wall is provided. The exercise system includes an elongate wall protection device mounted to a generally vertical wall and the motorized fitness wheel. The fitness wheel includes a wheel configured to rotate about an axle with two handles that extend outward from respective sides of the wheel. In use, the user grasps the handles and presses the exercise wheel against a generally vertical surface, rolls the exercise wheel in a first direction, and then rolls the exercise wheel in a second direction to complete an exercise cycle. During movement of the exercise wheel, a motor coupled to the wheel generates, under control of a processor, torque in the forward or backward rotational directions based on the measured movement of the wheel to enhance the exercise for the user.

Abstract: An HTTP web-native bridge includes an HTTP server that exposes native mobile modules through a RESTful web service. A full HTTP feature set may be utilized to interact with the native mobile modules to access native features and functionalities of a mobile device by a web service. The HTTP web-native bridge may be implemented without including additional libraries in the web service code or requiring web service developers to write application programming interface code.

Abstract: An improved method for controlling a computer device user's email accessibility to an email receiver includes the steps of: (a) providing software configured to generate a unique email address link for use by the email sender, (b) configuring this email address link to include code that causes any email message created by the email sender to have included within it a token which identifies the email sender and causes the email server handling this message to communicate with the server on which the software is running for the purpose of receiving authorization from this server as to whether to deliver the email message to its intended receiver, and (c) establishing a set of rules which seeks to restrict the email message of spammers from being authorized for delivery to the email receiver.

Abstract: Systems and methods for surveillance in a mobile environment. In some cases, the systems and methods utilize a variety of image and/or audio sensors to record activity ongoing in a mobile environment. In one particular embodiment, the activity is temporarily recorded in a first tier memory implemented as a volatile FIFO. Where a trigger input is detected, the activity is recorded in a second tier memory that can be configured as a non-volatile memory. Further, in some cases the recorded activity can be transmitted wirelessly to a remote location.

Abstract: System, method and program for controlling a mute function on a telephone device. While the mute function is active, sound reaching a telephone or other communication device is sensed, and a determination is made if the sound includes a word. If so, an alarm is activated to alert a user that the mute function is active. If not, the alarm is not activated. In accordance with an optional feature of the present invention, speech recognition software is trained to recognize the voice or speech pattern of a specific user, and the alarm is activated only if the word was spoken by the specific user.

Abstract: System, method and program product for determining if a first web page returned to a web browser is a redirected web page. A dummy URL is created by appending one or more characters to a URL of the first web page. The one or more characters are chosen such that the dummy URL is likely to elicit a redirected web page. The request for the dummy URL is sent. A second web page is received in response to the request. The second web page is a redirected web page. The content of the second web page is compared to content of the first web page to determine if the first web page is a redirected web page. The request for the dummy URL is sent to a same application that returned the second web page.
