Abstract: A three-dimensional display device is provided. The device includes a plurality of surfaces. At least one surface of the plurality of surfaces is configured to display data. The device also includes a receiver configured to receive data along with a circuit configured to determine a change in orientation of the display device. The device further includes a processor configured to receive a first market data, display the first market data on the at least one surface, and illuminate the plurality of surfaces in a first color when the first market data is above a first threshold. The processor is further configured to illuminate the plurality of surfaces in a second color when the first market data is below the first threshold and change an intensity of the first color or the second color based on a degree of change of the first data.

Abstract: A chafing dish assembly includes a frame and a chafing dish that is insertable into the frame. The chafing dish comprises a sealed chamber of oil. A heat source is placed below the chafing dish to heat the oil. The oil transfers the heat to food within the chafing dish.

Abstract: An exercise machine includes a longitudinal rail for slidably supporting a carriage assembly together with the weight of a user. The longitudinal rail is supported at an elevation above a support surface by a fore support structure positioned at the fore end of the rail and by an aft support structure positioned at the aft end of the rail. A carriage assembly slidably engages the rail structure and supports the weight of a user on the rail structure. The carriage assembly includes roller wheels for rolling engagement with the rail. A lever is pivotally connected to the rail and enables a user to operate the exercise machine. The lever has a hand grip assembly at one end and a foot grip assembly at the other end. A resistance structure is connected to and positioned between the fore end of the rail and the carriage assembly and provides resistance to translational movement of the carriage assembly and pivotal movement of the lever.

Abstract: An exercise machine has a base with an upright member secured thereto. A pair of lever arms are rotatably positioned on the upright member and rotate from a first position to a second position. A gas cylinder assembly is mechanically associated with the upright member and connected to the lever arms by a chain means. The gas cylinder assembly provides resistance to movement of the lever arms from the first toward the second position. A purchase assembly is mechanically associated with the frame and connected to the lever arms by a cable means. The purchase assembly includes a block and tackle to provide a mechanical advantage for moving the lever arms from the first position toward the second position. A line from the block and tackle is connected to one of several possible moveable elements such that operation of the moveable element results in movement of the lever arms.

Abstract: A skeletal frame is pivotally mounted on a support frame to enable a user in a supine position to conduct an abdominal exercise. The skeletal frame includes a padded rest in which the user may rest his/her head. A pair of elastic members are secured to and between these skeletal frame and the support in one mode of operation to assist the user in conducting the abdominal exercise. In another mode of operation, the elastic members dynamically resist the exercise routine. The exercise device may be employed to conduct a “push-up” exercise routine.

Abstract: An exercise bicycle has a frame with longitudinal, lateral, and transverse directions substantially orthogonal to one another. A crank, characterized by a crank axis and corresponding axial and radial directions, connects to a rotational resistance mechanism. The frame is configured to selectively support a user in either a first, classical, position and a second, semi-recumbent, position.
