Abstract: A gait monitor 100 is disclosed which has a pair of movement sensors 501, 503 configured to be placed on either side of a user's head, preferably secured in the ears. Therefore, the movement sensors 501, 503 are each placed on both sides of the user's body but in equal distance to the midsagittal plane of the user and can monitor the gait of the user without need of any movement sensor centrally aligned in the midsagittal plane. Furthermore, the gait monitor 100 is able to determine if the steps of the user strikes the ground in a heel strike or forefoot strike in order to help the user improve his running efficiency.

Abstract: An exercise monitoring device having sensors for monitoring and measuring the physiological and physical parameters of a person during an exercise. The monitored and measured parameters are stored and used in real-time comparison with the same person's performance another time. The monitored and measured parameters of another person in the same exercise may also be used. Real-time monitoring and measuring of the parameters of several people provides the possibility to have virtual competition between people in different locations.

Abstract: A display device has a screen for displaying digital images located on a housing that encloses a storage medium for storing the digital images, and a processor for performing functions such reading images from the storage medium and displaying the images on the display screen. A frame detachably securable to the housing surrounds the display screen, and electronically communicates with the processor when secured to the housing for configuring how the processor performs the functions of the display device.
