Abstract: An exercise device includes a motor connected to a drive chain of the exercise device. The motor applies a torque in the direction of an input torque, thereby lowering the input torque applied by the user to rotate the drive chain. The motor is controlled to simulate exercise conditions of a mobile exercise device.

Abstract: A monitoring system includes a shoe and a sole integrated into the shoe. The monitoring system also includes a connection mechanism attached to an underside of the sole and is shaped to connect the sole to a pedal. A pressure sensor is incorporated into the shoe that senses a force exerted on the pedal when the shoe is connected to the pedal through the connection mechanism.

Abstract: A method comprises detecting, by one or more processors of a wearable device, a tag identifier of a tag located on exercise equipment. The method also comprises selecting, from a memory of the wearable device, an algorithm from a plurality of stored algorithms responsive to the algorithm having a stored association with the tag identifier and receiving, from a sensor of the wearable device, movement data of a user performing an exercise associated with the exercise equipment. The method may also comprise executing the selected algorithm using the received movement data as input and determining, when the user has completed one repetition of the exercise based on the execution of the selected algorithm using the received movement data. The method may also comprise transmitting a record comprising repetition movement data that was received during the one repetition to a remote computing device.

Abstract: A magnetic clutch transitions a drivetrain or flywheel between a freewheel or unlocked mode or configuration and a locked or fixed gear mode or configuration. The magnetic clutch includes a rotor rotationally fixed to the pedals of the drivetrain. An armature is connected to the flywheel. A field coil generates a magnetic field which causes the armature to move to the flywheel. Friction between the armature and the rotor rotationally fixes the flywheel to the rotor.

Abstract: An exercise device includes a frame, handlebars supported by the frame, and a computing device. The handlebars include a yoke that is movable relative to the frame, a biasing element positioned between the yoke and the frame, and a sensor configured to measure a movement of the yoke.

Abstract: An exercise device includes a use-sensor connected to a flywheel. The use-sensor detects motion of the flywheel. If the flywheel is moving, a power interrupt on a power supply connects power to the exercise device. If the flywheel is not moving, the power interrupt disconnects power from the exercise device, thereby improving device safety.

Abstract: A massage roller includes a body having a first end, a second end, and a rolling surface extending between the first end and the second end. A pressure sensor is located at the rolling surface. Pressure measurements taken by the pressure sensor form a pressure profile. Knots, tightness, and other muscle pain are determined by analyzing the pressure profile.

Abstract: A detachable exercise tracking accessory is configured to connect to a dumbbell or a barbell. The tracking accessory includes an identifier that identifies weight information about the dumbbell or barbell included on an indicator on the dumbbell or barbell. The tracking accessory includes an exercise sensor that detects movement of the user and counts exercise reps based on the movement.

Abstract: A device for providing a kinetic input to a user includes a rockable bed frame. The rockable bed frame includes a top portion, a bottom portion, and a linear drive unit positioned between the top portion and the base portion to move the top portion and base portion relative to one another.

Abstract: A shoe can include a sole with a top surface and a bottom surface opposite the top surface, an upper member coupled to the top surface of the sole, and a sensor coupled to and surrounded by the sole. The sensor can include a processor an antenna in communication with the processor where the antenna is positioned proximate the bottom surface of the sole.

Abstract: A footwear apparatus includes a sensor in the footwear apparatus positioned to monitor an activity technique of the user when the footwear apparatus is joined with a foot of the user and a feedback generator is arranged to produce at least one of a haptic communication or an optical communication to the user in response to detecting a pattern in the activity technique.

Abstract: An adapter includes a first plug with at least one electrically conductive prong, a first socket shaped to make an electrical connection when a second plug is secured to the first socket, an electrically conductive pathway that connects the first plug with the first socket, and a filtering mechanism disposed along the electrically conductive pathway that modifies an electrical waveform signature sufficient that it avoids nuisance tripping by an arc fault detector when the electrically conductive pathway provides electrical power to an electrical load.

Abstract: A system for monitoring and controlling a heart rate includes an interface for communicating with a heart rate monitor and a haptic device. The system also includes a processor and memory. The memory includes programmed instructions to cause the processor to determine a natural heart rate of a user, determine a target rate for the user, and cause the haptic device to provide haptic input to the user to adjust the natural heart rate to the target heart rate.

Abstract: An eating feedback system includes a wearable, a sensor connected to the wearable, a memory, and processor. The memory includes programmed instructions to cause the processor to count a chew number executed by a user based on measurements recorded with the sensor and communicate feedback to the user based on the chew number.

Abstract: A treadmill having a running deck comprising a motor arranged to drive movement of a tread belt, a processor, memory in electronic communication with the processor, and instructions stored in the memory. The instructions are executable by the processor to determine an anti-phase waveform based on waveform attributes of a noise emitted from the treadmill and to cause a sound of the anti-phase waveform to be emitted into a surrounding environment.
