  • Patent number: 11644143
    Abstract: A pipeline sphere is shown which houses an electronics package. The sphere is formed as a hollow elastomeric body having a predetermined wall thickness and an initially void interior. A carrier tube is positioned within the initially void interior of the sphere and is supported by oppositely arranged carrier plates which are themselves embedded within oppositely arranged end openings of the sphere. A removable inflation valve is contained in one of the valve plates at a first end of the carrier tube. The carrier tube has a plurality of apertures formed through its wall to enable inflating or deflating the sphere. One electronics package that can be used is an electrical tracking device.

  • Publication number: 20230132697
    Abstract: Implementations of a membership system for allowing users to access multiple unaffiliated gyms including home gyms and paying the participating gyms are provided. In some implementations, for a plurality of users, selections of a plurality of gyms are received from each user. For each user, a fee for a time-period to be paid by the user based on the gyms selected is calculated and the fee is received from the user. A unique code is assigned to each user. When a user visits a gym that the user selected, the unique code of the user and an identification of the gym visited is received and stored. For each user and each gym selected by the user, a payment to each gym selected by the user is calculated and paid based on the percentage of time the user visited the gym during the time period.
