Abstract: An exercise apparatus includes flexible elongated members configured for attachment to shoes of a user. Motor assemblies are disposed between the elongated members and the shoes, respectively, and cause the flexible elongated members to oscillate. Rotational drums attached to the flexible elongated members and are configured to rotate the flexible elongated members while the elongated members oscillate.

Abstract: Systems and methods for an exercise apparatus are provided and include a flexible elongated member, a binding apparatus, and a motor assembly. The binding apparatus is attached to the flexible elongated member and has a clamping mechanism configured to secure a shoe of a user of the exercise apparatus to the flexible elongated member. The motor assembly is disposed between the shoe and the flexible elongated member and is configured to cause the flexible elongated member to oscillate.

Abstract: A method is disclosed for anonymously communicating employee comments, such as employee complaints, workplace issues or other concerns, to an employer of that employee. The method includes the step of transmitting the employee comments directly from the employee to a third party wherein the third party is independent from the employer. The third party then removes all employee identifying indicia from the comments to create redacted comments. The third party then transmits these redacted comments directly to the employer. Preferably, the communications between the employee and the third party as well as between the third party and the employer are transmitted over a telecommunications network, such as the world wide web.

Abstract: A system is described for automatically adjusting various adjustable devices in an automotive vehicle such as the seats, mirrors, pedal positions and the like. The system includes a physiological characteristic scanner which generates an output signal representative of that physiological characteristic of the person seated in the driver seat and, optionally, in the passenger's seat. Such physiological characteristics includes, for example, retinal scanners, fingerprint readers, thermal scanners and the like. The output signal from the physiological characteristic determining device is coupled as an input signal to a processor which also has access to digital memory containing data representing the physiological characteristics of authorized drivers of the automotive vehicle. This memory further includes data representative of the various position(s) of the adjustable device(s) for each authorized driver and optionally passenger of the automotive vehicle.

Abstract: A system is provided for use with an automotive vehicle having a normally disabled ignition system. The system includes a reader, such as a fingerprint reader or retina reader, to identify the driver. The output from the reader is compared to corresponding physiological data stored in memory to determine if the driver is authorized to operate the vehicle. Optionally, a timer is employed to permit operation of the vehicle only during preset prescribed time periods.

Abstract: A system is provided for use with an automotive vehicle having a normally disabled ignition system. Each driver license is encoded with indicia, such as a magnetic strip, indicative of the identity of the driver. This driver's license is inserted into a reader container in the vehicle which then generates an identification signal representative of the identity of the driver's license. A microprocessor then compares the identification signal from the driver's license with prerecorded computer memory representative of the authorized driver(s) for the vehicle. When the driver's license identification signal matches the stored data in memory, the microprocessor generates an output signal which enables the vehicle ignition system. Alternatively, when the driver's license identification signal does not match the stored data, a radio transmitter transmits the driver's license identification signal to a central station which compares this signal against stored data representative of a plurality of different drivers.
