Abstract: A personal watercraft that includes at least one stepper. Each stepper is pivotally associated with a propulsion member that is moveable in a generally vertical direction so that the propulsion member is in a first position during downward motion of the stepper and a second position during upward motion of the stepper.

Abstract: A reduced size personal computer comprises a base having first and second base portions movably connected to one another. In the preferred embodiment the two base portions are hingedly connected and fold together much like a book. In the extended orientation, the first and second base portions both lie flat on a working surface, such as a tabletop. The first portion typically includes a keypad and a mouse region, and the second portion typically includes internal operating components such as a motherboard and disk drives. A retractable display screen is extended upwardly from a storage compartment in the second base portion to its full, extended height. The screen may be flexible and manufactured with a light-directing texture. Due to the retractable nature of the display screen, the portable computer disclosed herein has a footprint in a stowed orientation that is smaller than the extended size of the screen.

Abstract: A reflective projection screen has in a first aspect a plurality of reflective elements. The upper surface of the reflective elements is either coated or textured to interfere with reflection of light from the upper surface to an adjacent reflective element. In a second aspect of the invention, a screen is provided that reflects light in the vertical direction like a plane surface, while reflecting light in the horizontal direction back toward the light source. In a third aspect of the invention, a projection system projects a three-dimensional image.

Abstract: An exercise device having an elongate, substantially rigid pad. The exercise device also includes a pair of handrollers, each handroller comprising a handgrip supported between a pair of wheels. The device also includes a pair of stretchable tensioning members. Each of the tensioning members interconnects a respective one of the pair of handrollers and the pad.
