Abstract: The present invention relates an exercising system. The exercising system is a geodesic dome structure coupled with an exercise device such as a flywheel. The geodesic dome is made up of multiple struts coupled to each other at multiple hubs. The exercise device is engaged with the hub to allow a user to exercise through the flywheel.

Abstract: A frequency and/or phase locked loop architecture that eliminates the loop filter generally required in conventional phase locked loops, and which may be implemented in digital logic, for example, as a field programmable gate array. In one example, a frequency/phase locked loop includes both a frequency comparison component and a phase comparison component to allow locking of an output clock signal to both the frequency and phase of a reference signal.

Abstract: A handheld device for sculpting hair includes a pliable member having a substantially smooth bottom surface. A plurality of spaced-apart bores are disposed in the bottom surface. When the handheld device is placed against a person's head, the pliable member at least partially deforms to conform to the shape of the person's head. By repeatedly pulling the bottom surface of the pliable member across the hair tangentially to the surface of the person's scalp, the plurality of spaced-apart bores disposed in the bottom surface cause clumps of hair to be formed at substantially regular intervals that are a function of the distance between ones of the spaced-apart bores.

Abstract: Antistatic fabric for flexible containers for bulk material that includes electrically non-conducting threads and static dissipative, special permanent antistatic threads. The static dissipative, special permanent antistatic threads are made of a thermoplastic synthetic with an additive mixed in that increases the conductivity. The static dissipative, special permanent antistatic thread is shaped like a small band or tape with an approximately rectangular cross-section or a multifilament of very thin filaments.

Abstract: A memory cell includes a pair of spaced apart conductors on an insulating layer, and a novel electrically alterable resistive component between the conductors. This resistive component consist essentially of Germanium, having a crystalline grain size which is smaller than polycrystalline; and the Germanium switches from a high resistance to a low resistance upon the application of a threshold voltage across the conductors.
