Abstract: Methods and systems are described for a parking and advertising system. A consumer may approach a locale with various parking options, be notified of available parking spaces, pay for the parking space, receive marketing materials for businesses nearby, activate point of sale functionality and perform other tasks. Data collected related to parking or purchases may be collected and analyzed, including through AI/ML functionality in order to optimize variables, such as marketing approaches.

Abstract: A free weight support device for use with an exercise bench that is pivotally positionable between a first and second position, and having a base, first and second vertical members pivotally coupled to the base and positioned on opposite sides of the bench, and a foot member coupled to the first and second vertical members and operable by one or more feet of the weightlifter. The foot member being proximate to a front end of the bench and pivotally coupled to the base for pivotally adjusting the position of the first and second vertical members between a first position and a second position. When adjusted into the first position, the first and second vertical members are positioned generally vertically to support the weight of the free weights away from the weightlifter's arms. When adjusted into the second position, the first and second vertical members are pivotally positioned to permit the weightlifter to retrieve the free weights.

Abstract: A battery powered manicuring device is taught which uses an improved drive mechanism for reciprocating a manicuring implement. A battery energizes a motor. Extending from one end of the motor is a shaft. Interconnected with the shaft is an offset device comprising either a bearing or a sleeve positioned at a non-perpendicular angle with respect to the shaft. The lower end of an attachment arm is affixed to the outer portion of either the offset bearing or the offset sleeve. The upper end of the attachment arm is affixed to the lower end of a manicuring implement. As the shaft rotates, a reciprocating motion is imparted to the attachment arm and thus to the manicuring implement.
