  • Patent number: 12268948
    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.

  • Patent number: 12072466
    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.

  • Publication number: 20240207665
    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.

  • Publication number: 20240188192
    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.

  • Patent number: 11994591
    Abstract: Sensors, including time-of-flight sensors, may be used to detect objects in an environment. In an example, a vehicle may include a time-of-flight sensor that images objects around the vehicle, e.g., so the vehicle can navigate relative to the objects. The sensor may generate first image data at a first configuration and second image data at a second configuration. An estimated depth of an object may be determined from the first image data, and an actual depth of the object may be determined from the second image data, based on the estimated depth. In examples, the first and second configurations have different modulation frequencies such that a nominal maximum depth in the first configuration is greater than the nominal maximum depth in the second configuration.

  • Patent number: 11989188
    Abstract: Aggregating user access privileges across various third-party data sources and intelligently managing query request quotas delegated by the data sources to users having access privileges. Query requests are received from users and in response determining that the user (i) has been granted access privileges to an identified data source responsive to the query and (ii) has available query requests from their specific allocated amount of query request quota, the query request is authorized for submission to the data source that is responsive to the query. Intelligent management of query request quotas includes determining query request quota allotments for each user including adjusting query request quotas when users have been identified as requiring an increase or decreasing in quota allotment.
