Abstract: An indoor, stationary, bicycle training device that provides advantages over conventional designs of exercise bicycles is provided. The stationary bicycle may include a tilting/pivoting mechanism to orient the indoor bicycle to simulate descending or climbing. The indoor bicycle may include flexible and resilient frame elements to support the indoor training device to move side-to-side under some riding situations thereby simulating the side-to-side swaying motion of an outdoor bicycle under the same riding situations. The indoor bicycle may include several combinations of frame adjustments to provide configurable dimensions of the indoor bicycle to adjust the frame to properly fit the rider, which may be adjusted based on corresponding dimensions of a user's outdoor bicycle. Still other aspects of the stationary bicycle device may aid in creating an “outdoor” feeling while using the device.

Abstract: A technique of managing geospatial data includes receiving, by a SaaS (Software as a Service) application hosted from a server, a search query from a client, the search query specifying a geographical range. In response to receiving the search query, the technique further includes identifying multiple search results corresponding to the specified geographical range, the search results including a set of still images of the specified geographical range, a set of full-motion videos of the specified geographical range, and a set of GIS (Geographical Information System) data that pertains to the specified geographical range. In response to a request from the client, the technique further includes storing at least some of the search results in a workspace of the SaaS application, the workspace shared among multiple users of the SaaS application and enabling online collaboration among the users to accomplish geospatial exploitation workflows that fuse multiple data sources.
