Abstract: The present invention provides a battery powered fan assembly (1) for providing motive force, comprising: An electric drive motor (12); a fan (14), connected to and driven by the drive motor (12) and rotatable about a central axis X, for moving a fluid F and to thereby create a flow thereof; a battery (16), electrically connected to and for powering the drive motor (12); a heat management system (18), for managing the temperature T of the battery (16) comprising: a fluid collector (22), for collecting collected fluid Fc from the flow of fluid F moved by the fan (14); a heat exchange means (20), for exchanging thermal energy between the collected fluid Fc and the battery (16); and a fluid director (24) for receiving collected fluid Fc from said fluid collector (22) and directing said fluid Fc to said heat exchange means (20) for thermal management of the battery (16).

Abstract: An exercise stretching device includes a proximal loop component having a strap configured to form a loop, an adjustable clamp configured to couple two opposite ends of the strap to form the loop, and a pad carried by the strap; a distal slotted component having a plurality of slots situated along its length, the strap being disposed in one of the plurality of slots; and a distal grommet component looped around the strap and including at least one integrated grommet.

Abstract: An exercise machine has a lock mode and an unlock mode associated with a screen lock function. A computing device coupled to the exercise machine includes a display, memory, and a processor coupled to the memory. The computing device is configured to detect a user interaction with the computing device or the exercise machine while the exercise machine is in the lock mode, render a screen lock interface on the display in response to the user interaction, receive an input code from the screen lock interface, determine that the input code matches a goal code, and adjust the exercise machine from the lock mode to the unlock mode in response to determining that the input code matches the goal code.

Abstract: The present invention includes a novel sintered component (1) and a method of production thereof. The method including creating (100) a plurality of sub¬components (10) using binder jetting additive manufacturing; the sub-components (10) having an outer surface (20) including one or more protruding portions (22, 24) having one or more bonding faces (26) configured to interface with at least one of the one or more bonding faces (26) of a neighbouring sub-component (1) and a recessed portion (28) for defining a cavity (30), in the sintered component (1), between sub-components (10); heating the plurality of sub-components (10) in a first heating step (104); assembling (106) said sub-components (10); heating the assembly of sub-components in a second heating step (108).

Abstract: Systems and techniques for detecting feature(s) and object(s) partially or completely obscured by stray light effects in the visible light spectrum are discussed herein. Non-visible light can be emitted from emitters. Light from an environment including visible and non-visible light can be captured at a sensing system via a lens system. The sensing system can filter the captured light using a dual band-pass filter to direct certain non-visible and visible light spectra to a beam splitter that then directs the non-visible light to a non-visible light sensor and the visible light to a visible light sensor. The sensor data generated by the non-visible light sensor can then be used to identify and classify feature(s) and object(s) that may be obscured by stray light effects in the data generated by the visible light sensor.

Abstract: The importance of creating and maintaining flexibility is generally recognized in health, longevity, fitness, sports, ballet, and yoga. Stretching requires a sustained and prolonged effort in holding a particular joint in a stretched position for best results. Recent prior art has attempted to move toward hands free devices to address these requirements. This invention solves prior art problems by providing comfort with padding; simplifying and easing application on the user with a single strap clamp; easy fine and coarse adjustment of stretching tension by the user; floor, seated, and standing position methods of use: fixed (i.e., pull up bar) and dynamic device (i.e. weight machine) device attachment and position methods of use; and opportunities for stretching all areas of the body. Once positioned with this invention, the user can relax and allow the device to stretch with minimal effort on the user's part.

Abstract: A heater coupon is disclosed having a ceramic block with a first surface and a second surface, at least one heater trace formed within the ceramic block and a connector for electrically connecting the at least one heater trace to a PCB (printed circuit board). The connector may connect at one end to the heater coupon and at the other end to the PCB. The connector may provide a direct connection between the heater coupon and the PCB. The connector may include a first connecting arm for connecting with respect to the first surface of the ceramic block and a second connecting arm for connecting with respect to the second surface of the ceramic block.
