Patent number: 11920347Abstract: A joist assembly system that is structured for dynamic retrieval of components, dynamic and precise positioning and location of retrieved components, assembly of the components to form a joist, and delivery of the assembled joist. The joist assembly system has a plurality of material handling systems, a plurality of welding systems, and a rigging table system. The material handling systems are structured to load and position the components such as chords and webs onto the rigging table. The rigging table in turn supports the chords or webs. Subsequently, the plurality of welding systems weld the webs to the chords to form the joist.Type: GrantFiled: May 13, 2022Date of Patent: March 5, 2024Assignee: NUCOR CORPORATIONInventors: Jason Alan Freidenberger, Joseph Patrick Cagle, Christopher Ray Couch, Richard Thomas Erickson, Travis Marshall Fuhrman, John Lyman Hale, Matthew Glenn Hire, Christopher William Martin, James E.

Patent number: 11471059Abstract: A method for an expert system to develop fitness training plans includes operating a dynamic exertion system to receive a rate of perceived exertion (RPE) through a user interface of a display device, combines the RPE with a movement, a movement load, and movement repetitions into movement set data, and operates a dynamic exertion algorithm. The method then displays an adjusted movement information display including the prescribed load and the prescribed movement repetitions through the user interface. The dynamic exertion algorithm generates a prescribed load and prescribed movement repetitions, determines a difference in RPE from the expected RPE through operation of a comparator, recalculates the one repetition maximum load value using the calibration and adjustment model when the difference in RPE is greater than an RPE threshold value, and generates a display control comprising the prescribed load and the prescribed movement repetitions.Type: GrantFiled: March 9, 2020Date of Patent: October 18, 2022Assignee: VOLT ATHLETICSInventors: Trevor William Watkins, Daniel Roven Giuliani, Brian James McNaboe, Jace Atom Derwin

Publication number: 20130244212Abstract: The internet based training system creates an individualized training plan designed to achieve a particular training purpose and delivers the plan to the individual user or athlete via the internet. The training system includes a local user interface and a remote server accessed via the internet. The remote server includes a computer program and a number of databases containing team information, athlete information, exercise information and training programs associated with specific training purposes such as a specific sport or activity. An algorithm is used for determining the weight of each exercise to be performed for each period in the training cycle of a particular training program. The computer program automatically creates a specific training plan using information from the databases and the weight determined by the algorithm.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 16, 2012Publication date: September 19, 2013Inventors: Daniel Roven Giuliani, Trevor William Watkins
