  • Patent number: 10610727
    Abstract: The exercise slidermat comprises a stationary saucer and sliding structure. The stationary saucer is a pedestal upon which the sliding structure is placed. The sliding structure sits the stationary saucer such that the sliding structure slides along the stationary saucer. The sliding structure is a horizontal surface upon which an exerciser performs training exercises intended to improve the footwork for a given sport. The sliding structure is moved across the stationary saucer such that the sliding structure is moving across the stationary saucer while the exerciser is performing the training exercises. The action of combining the motion of the sliding structure with the physical training causes the exerciser to perform the training exercises while visually and tactilely sensing not only the motion of the training exercise but the forces and momentum applied to the sliding structure during the training period.

  • Patent number: 8933971
    Abstract: A device may display a presentation of elements (e.g., icons) on a display component. However, display components have a pixel density that affects aesthetic and practical aspects of the presentation (e.g., rendering the presentation at a variable and inconsistent size); yet, many presentations are not generated in view of the pixel density of the display component of the device. Presented herein are techniques for generating and displaying a presentation of elements in view of the pixel density of the display component, using a scale factor set of scale factors that specify a pixel density range and a scale factor value (e.g., 120%) to be applied to the elements of the presentation. The scale factor set may be kept small to reduce the administrative burden on the designer of the element, while also achieving approximately consistent sizing of the presentation on display components having variable pixel densities.
