Abstract: An adhesively coupled power-meter measures one or more of force, torque, power, and velocity of a mechanical arm. The power meter includes a plate with a first surface prepared for adhesively coupling to the mechanical arm. At least one strain gauge is physically coupled with a second surface, opposite the first, of the plate and with an orientation corresponding to an orientation of the adhesively coupled power meter such that mechanical forces are transferred from mechanical arm to the at least one strain gauge when the plate is adhesively coupled to the mechanical arm. The power meter also includes electronics for receiving a signal from the at least one strain gauge and for determining one or more of force, torque, power and velocity from the signal, and a wireless transmitter for transmitting one or more of force, torque, power and velocity to a receiving device.

Abstract: A system and method implement biometric sensing with sensor fusion. A first sensor is coupled with a user and is capable of sensing a first characteristic of the user. A second sensor is coupled with the user and is capable of sensing a second characteristic of the user. A memory stores software with machine readable instructions that when executed by a processor implement an algorithm to correct for motion artifacts included within the second characteristic based upon activity of the user determined from the first characteristic.

Abstract: Systems and methods provide location-based athlete pacing with biofeedback. A goal pace profile based upon historical activity records of one or more athletes is determined. The goal pace profile defines a goal of a user. A mobile computing device determines a current activity of the user and compares the current activity to the goal pace profile to generate real-time status and coaching cues during the current activity.

Abstract: A shoe clip (100) includes two members (10, 12) that attach together in positions above and beneath shoe laces (20), to grip the shoe laces (20) between them and position the clip (100) on the shoe (22). A first member (10) is shaped and sized to slide under one or more laces (10) of the shoe, without requiring unlacing thereof. A second member (12) rotatably attaches at one end to the first member and, after insertion of the first member (10) beneath the laces (10), rotates to overlie the first member (10). The members then fasten to one another at their free ends (15, 17), such that the members grip the laces (20) between them. The second member supports or is integral with a component that is to be attached to the shoe.
