Abstract: Management of multiple user profiles in a portable apparatus is disclosed. A method includes storing user profiles of a group in a portable apparatus, wherein each user profile specifies user-specific parameters; performing performs a selection of a user profile from among the user profiles of the group stored in the portable apparatus on the basis of a predetermined condition; and modifying modifies an exercise data processing configuration of the portable apparatus on the basis of the selected user profile.

Abstract: A system which is sufficiently compact and portable to be moved via skid support platform to a multi-wheel diesel-powered host containing active pump and roll capability with front and rear active hydraulics, such as a Bobcat Toolcat Turbo 5600. The system contains a water tank, generally 150 gallons, as well as built in foam tank. The system is wholly powered by the hydraulic system of the host vehicle powering a hydraulic motor on the system. The system hydraulic motor turns a serpentine belt at sufficient RPM's to power a water pump, air compressor and the compressed air foam system (CAFS) module. Using solely the power provided by the hydraulic motor, water is drawn from the tank, either used alone or mixed with foam at the percentage inputted by the user. Compressed air is added and the air alone, water alone or water/foam mixture is routed via adjustable valve to either the 1 inch firefighters hose or the rigid waterway ending in an adjustable, movable nozzle attached to the cab roof of the host.

Abstract: An improvement over prior art aircraft instrument flight display systems for imaging on a bit-mapped display formed of a multiplicity of individually addressable pixels at locations throughout the display and actuatable to create images on the display, employs a common processor operatively connected between a video graphics processor and the display system input of a common set of aircraft and environmental sensor data— to provide both an integrity checking function and a graphics rendering function in which the integrity checking function can directly check the images generated by the graphics rendering function without the need for comparator hardware. Separate processors may also be employed instead of a common processor. The integrity checking function uses the input information for generating a pixel verification map for checking the display based on pixel color and location.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for processing heart rate information by wirelessly transferring the information between a heart rate monitor and a personal computer device (PCD). The information includes programming information and heart rate or training information collected during use of the heart rate monitor. The PCD may include a personal digital assistant (PDA), a pocket personal computer (pocket PC), or a laptop computer. The information is transferred over an infrared, sonic, audible, ultrasonic, magnetic, radio frequency, IEEE 802.11, or Bluetooth-based communication link.

Abstract: A system and method concurrently collects, submits, stores, processes, accesses, and reports demographic, health, and fitness data associated with students in a physical education program. The data is collected from the students and stored in access centers at various levels including a class, school, district, state, national, regional, and international level. Access to the stored data is provided via the Internet to users having different access rights, restrictions, and privileges at various levels including a student, parent, teacher, school official, district official or agency, national/regional official or agency, and international official or agency level. A third party server may intervene in the submission, storage, access to, and reporting of data via the Internet. The system and method is also intended for use with individuals in the armed services, police departments, fire departments, and corporations.
