  • Publication number: 20190255386
    Abstract: An Interactive Exercise Activity System and Methods configured to provide environmental feedback stimulation based on group and individual performance data. The system and methods provide for the analysis of group performance data; whereby a reactive output is generated and configured to control environmental stimuli such as screen visualizations, ambient and equipment lighting, audio systems, and ventilation systems. The system and methods further utilize a gamification system which allows distinct exercise groups to compete against each other, whether on-site or remotely. The system and methods further provides for a transmission of a summary of an individual or group performance data at the completion of a workout session. An additional embodiment of the system and methods includes providing environmental stimulation to a user based on individual performance metrics.

  • Patent number: 5992946
    Abstract: A connector is disclosed for providing power to a pump from a circuit in an ABS braking unit. The electrical connector includes a generally cylindrical housing having first and second ends and a length corresponding to the perpendicular distance between the circuit and the pump. In one embodiment, the first end includes a plurality of pins resiliently mounted therein and electronically connected to the second end. The pins are adapted to resiliently engage a corresponding plurality of pads mounted on the circuit for transmitting power to the second end. In a second embodiment, the second end of the connector also includes a plurality of pins resiliently mounted therein and adapted to engage a corresponding plurality of pads mounted on the pump for receiving power transmitted from the first end.
