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: A faced polyisocyanurate foam board comprising a halogen-free foam made from a halogen-free foam formulation comprising isocyanate, polyol, and phosphorus-containing flame retardant, and 1.06 to 1.66 kg/m3 (30 to 47 g/ft3) of glass fiber distributed in the foam throughout the thickness of the board; wherein the polyisocyanurate foam board has a trimer content of 11 to 19.5 weight percent, at least 0.1 weight percent phosphorous, and as measured by ASTM E84, a Flame Spread Index of 0 to 25 and a maximum Smoke Development Index of 450 or less.

Abstract: A support bracket may include a brace section and a protrusion. The brace section may include a base, a first arm, and a second arm. The base may define a first opening. The first arm may extend from the base in a first direction. The second arm may extend from the base in the first direction. The protrusion may extend from the base of the brace section in a second direction. The second direction may be opposite the first direction.

Abstract: Methods and systems for predicting electromechanical device failure are disclosed. In an example method, an analytic model, configured to implement predictive diagnostics for an electromechanical device, may be provided. Sensor data may be received from the electromechanical device, which may comprise a plurality of time series for a sensor-measurable parameter associated with operation of the electromechanical device. One or more machine learning processes may be used to update the analytic model. The one or more machine learning processes may comprise determining one or more data anomalies in the plurality of time series. The updated analytic method may be deployed to implement updated predictive diagnostics for the electromechanical device.

Abstract: A method for dealing with unwanted email advertising, having at least two of the following steps: a. automatically opting-out of unwanted email advertising; b. forwarding unwanted email advertising to a service which opts-out users; c. forwarding unwanted email advertising to a service which researches the advertising to help users assess the legitimacy of the advertising; d. classifying an email advertisement as legitimate or illegitimate; e. labeling, encoding, or otherwise marking the email advertising with its classification as legitimate or illegitimate; f. posting advertisement classifications in a public web site; g. making available through a public web site advertisements that are certified or otherwise classified as legitimate; h. blocking from a user's email inbox advertisements that are not certified or otherwise classified as legitimate; and i. publicizing research results.

Abstract: There is disclosed a snowboard binding system for a soft style snowboard boot. The snowboard binding system includes a base plate mounted to the snowboard and a toe strap unit, a heel loop, and a highback mounted to the base plate. Mounted to the heel loop is a secondary strap device which wraps around the back of the boot. Wrapping over the top of the boot is the ankle strap unit which is mounted to the secondary strap device. The secondary strap device and ankle strap have a plurality of adjustment holes for selective adjustment of the binding for greater support or for more flexibility. The secondary strap device works in conjunction with the ankle strap to provide better heel hold to the snowboard, thereby resulting in enhanced snowboard performance. The secondary strap device also reduces the pressure exerted across the top of the boot from the ankle strap resulting in better comfort.
