  • Publication number: 20260048806
    Abstract: A motion-activated mechanical sound-emitting device includes at least one ringer and at least one striker supported outside the ringer. A user actuator selects between an on state, in which motion permits the striker to contact the ringer to emit sound, and an off state, in which contact is prevented by moving one or both components away from one another or by interposing a blocker. Striker-support components remain outside the ringer, with no portion disposed within or passing through the ringer. The device is operable in any orientation and, in some embodiments, is spring-free and provides intermediate positions for partial sound reduction. The device can be mounted to a wide variety of moving hosts, such as a bicycle, backpack strap, pet collar, horn of a saddle, wheelchair, motorized scooter, or robot, and may employ multiple striker-ringer pairings.

  • Publication number: 20250372230
    Abstract: A method is disclosed for using an artificial intelligence engine to present a user interface capable of presenting the progress of a user in domains. The method includes generating, by the artificial intelligence engine, a machine learning model trained to receive measurements as input, and outputting, based on the measurements, a user interface that causes icons to dynamically change position on the user interface. While a user performs an exercise using the exercise device, the method includes receiving the measurements from sensors associated with the exercise device. The method includes presenting, on a computing device associated with the exercise device, sections of the user interface, wherein the sections are each related to a separate domain comprising the domains and wherein, based on the measurements, each section includes the icons placed.

  • Publication number: 20250360359
    Abstract: A method is disclosed for using an artificial intelligence engine to interact with a user of an exercise device during an exercise session. The method includes generating, by the artificial intelligence engine, a machine learning model trained to receive data as input, and based on the data, providing an output. While a user performs an exercise using the exercise device, the method includes receiving the data from an input peripheral of a computing device associated with the user. Based on the data being received from the input peripheral, the method includes determining, via the machine learning model, the output to control an aspect of the exercise device.

  • Publication number: 20250099816
    Abstract: A method is disclosed for using an artificial intelligence engine to perform a control action. The control action is based on one or more measurements from a wearable device. The method includes generating, by the artificial intelligence engine, a machine learning model trained to receive the one or more measurements as input, and outputting, based on the one or more measurements, a control instruction that causes the control action to be performed. The method includes receiving the one or more measurements from the wearable device being worn by a user, determining whether the one or more measurements indicate, during an interval training session, that one or more characteristics of the user are within a desired target zone, and responsive to determining that the one or more measurements indicate the one or more characteristics of the user are not within the desired target zone during the interval training session, performing the control action.

  • Publication number: 20240252889
    Abstract: A method is disclosed for using an artificial intelligence engine to modify resistance of pedals of an exercise device. The method includes generating, by the artificial intelligence engine, a machine learning model trained to receive measurements as input, and outputting, based on the measurements, a control instruction that causes the exercise device to modify, independently from each other, the resistance of the pedals. While a user performs an exercise using the exercise device, the method includes receiving the measurements from sensors associated with the pedals. The method includes determining, based on the measurements, a quantifiable or qualitative modification to the resistance provided by a pedal of the pedals. The resistance provided by another pedal of the pedals is not modified. The method includes transmitting the control instruction to the exercise device to cause the resistance provided by the pedal to be modified.
