Abstract: An exercise equipment comprises a frame assembly, a motion mechanism for a specific exercise by a user and a control unit monitoring the operational status of the motion mechanism. The frame assembly includes a left and a right side portion positioned respectively on the user's left and right sides. The inner side surfaces of the left and right side portions are equipped with a left and a right light-emitting portion. When the motion mechanism is in a first state, both those light-emitting portions display a first light-emitting state. When the motion mechanism is in a second state, both those light-emitting portions display a second light-emitting state. Therefore, people located on the right and left of the exercise equipment can respectively observe the left and right light-emitting portions and identify whether the motion mechanism is in the first or second state based on their light-emitting states.

Abstract: A soft tissue repair system is provided for covering or filling openings in the annulus of an intervertebral disc. The soft tissue repair system uses a single plug or a combination of a first plug and a second plug. The second plug is a flowable plug such as an adhesive material or a material that hardens to a flexible plug material. Each plug is configured to close the opening in the annulus and can be positioned within the opening, over the opening at the exterior surface or over the opening at the interior surface. The plug can also be combined with a clamping mechanism that engages the annulus to secure the plug in the opening.

Abstract: An exercise apparatus includes an exercise mechanism, a handle assembly, a display device, and a control unit. The exercise mechanism is provided for a user to perform an exercise. The handle assembly has at least one handle for the user to hold and a control interface mounted on an upper portion of the handle for allowing the user to control at least one operating parameter of the exercise apparatus. The display device is configured for displaying information to the user. The control unit is electrically connected to the control interface of the handle and configured to control the operating parameter of the exercise apparatus when receiving a command from the control interface. Specifically, the control interface is a touch screen for allowing the user to input the command to control the operating parameter of the exercise apparatus through the control interface.

Abstract: A spray brush includes at least one fluid-dispensing outlet which is positioned on a manifold and is, through the manifold, in fluid communication with a pump assembly, which is in fluid communication with a fluid reservoir. The manifold is contained in a brush head. A pump trigger is in mechanical cooperation with the manifold, and circumferentially surrounds a portion of a brush handle. Activation of the pump trigger is accomplished by depressing or pulling from any normal hand-held position without the need for additional rotation of the hairbrush.
