  • Patent number: 11961601
    Abstract: To assist a user in the correct performance of an activity, video data is acquired. A pose of the user is determined from the video data and an avatar is generated representing the user in the pose. The pose of the user is compared to one or more other poses representing correct performance of the activity to determine one or more differences that may represent errors by the user. Depending on the activity that is being performed, some errors may be presented to the user during performance of the activity, while other errors may be presented after performance of the activity has ceased. To present an indication of an error, a specific body part or other portion of the avatar that corresponds to a difference between the user's pose and a correct pose may be presented along with an instruction regarding correct performance of the activity.

  • Patent number: 5813085
    Abstract: A central-vacuum power unit is provided having a molded rubber gasket which seals and vibrationally isolates a vacuum motor. The power unit includes a canister forming a hollow interior and a plate dividing the hollow interior into first and second chambers. The vacuum motor is located within the first chamber and has an inlet in fluid communication with the second chamber through an opening in the plate. The molded rubber gasket encircles the plate opening and seals the vacuum motor to the plate. The gasket also forms a seat for the vacuum motor and supports the vacuum motor against the plate. The gasket includes a ring-shaped main wall, a protrusion extending from the main wall and engaging an end surface of the vacuum motor, and an outer wall extending from the main wall and engaging the outer periphery of the vacuum motor. Distinct primary and secondary seals are formed by the protrusion and outer wall. The outer wall is shaped so that a seal can be obtained over a relatively short longitudinal length.
