Abstract: A resistance force is controlled such that a user's effort against the resistance force results in a first isokinetic seed movement, wherein the user is an exercise machine user using an exercise machine. The resistance force required to effect the first isokinetic seed movement is associated with a predetermined force-velocity profile. A strength determination of the user is made based at least in part on the required resistance force and the associated predetermined force-velocity profile.

Abstract: A resistance force is controlled such that a user's effort against the resistance force results in a first isokinetic seed movement. The resistance force required to effect the first isokinetic seed movement is associated with a force-velocity profile. It is determined whether a sufficient number of isokinetic seed movements have been performed by the user. In response to a determination that the sufficient number of isokinetic seed movements have been performed by the user, a strength determination of the user is made based on the isokinetic seed movements performed by the user.

Abstract: Detecting quality of use of an exercise machine includes detecting a path of an actuator over time during use of the exercise machine. It further includes characterize the path including generating at least one parameter associated with the path. It further includes comparing the at least one parameter associated with the detected path to a canonical parameter. Providing feedback on quality of use of an exercise machine includes determining a quality of a use of the exercise machine. The quality of the use of the exercise machine is determined based at least in part on a detected path of an actuator over time. It further includes performing an action that is based at least in part on the determined quality of the use of the exercise machine.

Abstract: Dynamic strength loading per movement includes determining progress within a given state of an exercise. It further includes controlling, as a function of the progress within the given state of the exercise, a force generated by a motor of an exercise machine.

Abstract: Hydroxy-substituted pyridopyrrolopyrazine dione compounds are inhibitors of HIV integrase and inhibitors of HIV replication. In one embodiment, the dione compounds are of Formula (I): (I) wherein a, b, A, B, R1, R2, R3, R4, R5, R6, R7 and R8 are defined herein. The compounds are useful in the prevention and treatment of infection by HIV and in the prevention, delay in the onset, and treatment of AIDS. The compounds are employed against HIV infection and AIDS as compounds per se or in the form of pharmaceutically acceptable salts. The compounds and their salts can be employed as ingredients in pharmaceutical compositions, optionally in combination with other antivirals, immunomodulators, antibiotics or vaccines.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a system and method for providing complete electronic commerce (“E-Commerce”) transactions and solutions for a marketing company's products via the World Wide Web, including facilities for signing up new customers and recruiting, training and supporting new Independent Business Owners through an interactive online process. In another aspect, the present invention relates to the combination of a marketing business with a membership buying opportunity using both electronic commerce and face-to-face transactions. The present invention is also directed to a system and method for combining a marketing business with a membership buying opportunity, so that Independent Business Owners participating in the marketing plan can introduce customers to a membership buying opportunity and earn bonuses or commissions based on the purchases by those members, while Members in the buying opportunity can consume products or, at their option, qualify to become Independent Business Owners.
