Abstract: A weight training barbell system provides modifiable barbells that facilitate the attachment of plate weights, various elastic straps, inelastic bands, handles, grips, and connectors, in a compact space saving design. The weight training barbell system incorporates various features that allow it to perform specialized exercises that provide same or greater intensity from a workout using lower weights. The weight training barbell system accomplishes this through the use of specialized components that permit a user to redistribute weight along the length of the bar and components that add resistance, in more than one direction, while lifting the bar. The weight training barbell system can be utilized to perform compression lifting exercises, offset lifting exercises, and self spotting exercises.

Abstract: A machine is used for selling precious metals. The precious metals include gold, silver and the like. The precious metals could be either in a form of bullion coin or a bullion coin embedded into a plastic card for the purpose of protection. The machine contains a shell, a frame, a payment validation system, a display panel, a selection panel, a storage system, a dispensing system, a controller, a stock checking system and a security system. The machine is capable of selling gold and silver bullion coins at selling prices that are directly linked to the real time gold and silver prices traded on the commodity market. Such prices can be remotely updated via a wired or wireless connection. The security system protects the machine and functions as deterrence to potential robbers.
