Abstract: A pilates reformer machine has a frame with a longitudinal central extruded spine (2) extending between a first support member (4a, 4b) and a second support member (6a, 6b), a carriage (8) supporting a platform (9) moveable along the spine, at least one retention spring housed within the spine and attached to the carriage, the at least one retention spring being selectively attachable to the frame by buttons (12), the carriage being provided with sides that wrap around sides of the spine and engage with an underneath of the spine, the carriage further including a plurality of wheels receivable within tracks formed within the central spine. A leg exerciser (30) and foot bar (20) may be included in the machine.

Abstract: An interactive design tool may be configured for real-time architectural adaptation. This may include a user device including a hardware processor, physical memory and a user interface. The user device may provide operations to generate a virtual reality (VR) architectural session including a toolbelt with a virtual selection tool for adaptation of at least one of an environment, an object and an avatar. The operations may further include to receive or select a selection spot on the object by a projection between the virtual selection tool and the object, receive or select an adaptation relative to at least one of the object, the environment and the avatar; and display the adaptation to the at least one of the object, the environment and the avatar in real-time during the VR architectural session.

Abstract: An improved roller device includes a plurality of segments, wherein the plurality of segments is configured to form a tubular shape. In addition each of the plurality of segments are coupled to neighboring segments of the plurality of segments and each of the plurality of segments include a first edge and a second edge, wherein the first edge is opposite the second edge. Each segment includes a plurality of protrusions on each respective edge for interfacing with a respective complementary edge with complementary protrusions of a neighboring segment. The roller device also includes a coupling mechanism for coupling the first edge of a segment to a second edge of a first neighboring segment and coupling the second edge of the segment to a first edge of a second neighboring segment, wherein the coupling mechanism allows the plurality of segments to convert from a first position to a second position.
