Publication number: 20230191200Abstract: A system may include an exercise device and an external device. The exercise device may include a rigid rod, a plurality of light sources, at least one load sensor for detecting an applied longitudinal force, and a first processor coupled to the at least one load sensor and to the plurality of light sources and configured to obtain a signal indicating a magnitude of the applied longitudinal force, and cause a subset of the plurality of light sources to emit light. The external device may comprise a communication interface, a display, and a second processor coupled to the communication interface and to the display and configured to establish a communication link with the exercise device using the communication interface, obtain data over the communication link, and cause the display to present information associated with the exercise device.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 6, 2023Publication date: June 22, 2023Applicant: Disruptive Force LLCInventors: Nicholas P. SANDS, Justin ANDREWS, Krista S. JACOBSEN, Daniel K. HARDEN, Cole DERBY, Britt JENSEN

Patent number: 11571608Abstract: An exercise device comprises a rigid rod having a first and second ends, a plurality of light sources arranged in a row along at least a portion of an axis extending between the first and second ends of the rigid rod, at least one load sensor for detecting an applied longitudinal force, and a processor coupled to the at least one load sensor and to the plurality of light sources. The processor is configured to execute machine-executable instructions that cause the processor to obtain a signal indicating a magnitude of the applied longitudinal force, and cause a subset of the plurality of light sources to emit light. A ratio of a number of light sources in the subset to a total number of the plurality of light sources represents the magnitude of the applied longitudinal force relative to a reference longitudinal force.Type: GrantFiled: September 24, 2020Date of Patent: February 7, 2023Assignee: Disruptive Force LLC, Campbell, CAInventors: Nicholas P. Sands, Justin Andrews, Krista S. Jacobsen, Daniel K. Harden, Cole Derby, Britt Jensen

Publication number: 20220175050Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a smoking substitute device. The smoking substitute device comprises: an elongate main body, the main body having a body length in a longitudinal dimension that is greater than a body width in a transverse dimension. The main body includes a curved portion having a curved longitudinal axis along the longitudinal dimension. The curved longitudinal axis is fixed.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 22, 2022Publication date: June 9, 2022Inventors: Daniel HARDEN, Jonathan Marchbank, Thomas Sudlow, Pete Lomas, Chris Lord, John Mckeon, Britt Jensen, Brian Leach
