Abstract: Systems and methods for optimizing muscle development are disclosed. A method includes identifying one or more parameters of a user and force data associated with the user. The force data corresponds to an exercise to be performed by the user. The method further includes generating an exercise program to be executed using an exercise device, and determining a resistance to be applied by the exercise device during execution of the exercise program. The resistance is determined based at least partially on the force data and the one or more parameters of the user.

Abstract: A device for joint rehabilitation after injury or surgery and a method of use are described and taught. The device automatically senses and manipulates performance parameters to optimize the rehabilitation process in response to user performance. In particular, device sets the pedal throw and other variables automatically to be in an optimum range for the patient based on the respective patient data. A motor resistance unit allows for the user to experience variable resistances while using the device. This not only increases the patient's range of motion but also strengthens and increases muscle tone. In order to use the device, the patient or user simply inputs preliminary parameters and the on-board computer then calculates a rehabilitation plan, and monitors patient performance and adapts to changes. The central data server permit central storage of all data associated with usage of the rehab devices and is fully HIPPA compliant.

Abstract: Systems and methods for optimizing muscle development are disclosed. A method includes identifying a plurality of parameters of a user, and generating an exercise program based at least partially on the plurality of parameters. The exercise program includes a plurality of exercises. The method further includes, for each of the plurality of exercises, identifying one-rep maximum data associated with the exercise, and determining, for the exercise, a resistance to be applied by the exercise device during execution of the exercise program, in which the resistance is determined based at least partially on the one-rep maximum data associated with the exercise.

Abstract: A remote sensing system suitable for use in businesses which include queues and/or servers has a camera which captures successive images of the area to be monitored. The sensing system includes one or more video cameras which generate an array of pixel samples representing an image of the area. Sub-areas of interest in the image are defined by selectively illuminating each of the sub-areas during an initialization phase. During operation, the system analyzes pixel data from only the defined sub-areas. A combination of blob analysis and motion analysis is used to determine if a server is on-duty and present at his station, and if he is serving a customer. The system also maintains a count of the number of people waiting in the queue to be served. This information is used to generate displays directing waiting customers to the next available server and to inform newly arriving customers of their expected waiting time.
