Publication number: 20200269085Abstract: A power rowing machine that combines the seat of a rowing machine with a weight arm for resistance training. The power rowing machine avoids the flywheel of a conventional rowing machine and instead uses a weight arm. The weight arm serves two purposes. First, weight can be added to the arm for progressive resistance training. Second, the pivoting action varies the resistance through the movement. As a slow controlled resistance exercise the back and then arms of the rowing stroke cannot move the same resistance as the legs. Similarly, a user at the beginning of the rowing motion, with the legs compressed, cannot move as much resistance as with knees at a 90-degree angle.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 6, 2020Publication date: August 27, 2020Inventor: Thomas J.

Publication number: 20200269126Abstract: The invention concerns a mat system comprising a plurality of individual mats, each with a top side, a bottom side, and at least one rectilinear side edge. The rectilinear side edges each have at least one undercut recess, corresponding to connecting means which enable, by engagement of each one of their halves in an undercut recess, a connecting of two mats along their rectilinear side edges. The individual mats and the connecting means each comprise at least one layer of foam material. In order to equal out even large tolerances in the orienting of the individual mats to each other, the connecting means each comprise two interconnected circular segment regions with a radius R, R?, wherein for the spacing A of the centre points of the circular segment regions the following relation applies: (I) 0.8*(R+R?)<A<1.3*(R+R?).Type: ApplicationFiled: September 4, 2018Publication date: August 27, 2020Inventor: Paolo Florian

Publication number: 20200269129Abstract: A game system includes a mode switching unit switching a play mode between a one-player play mode and a two-player play mode, on the basis of at least one of first operation data from a left controller and second operation data from a right controller, and a control unit controlling a player character and a sub-player character in a virtual space. In the one-player play mode, the control unit switches an operation target between the player character and the sub-player character is set as an operation target, on the basis of the first operation data and the second operation data, and in the two-player play mode, the control unit controls the player character on the basis of the first operation data and controls the sub-player character on the basis of the second operation data.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 8, 2019Publication date: August 27, 2020Inventors: Satoshi KIRA, Yoshihito IKEBATA, Bryce HOLLIDAY, Christopher RICE, Jeffrie WU

Publication number: 20200269130Abstract: The present invention relates to mating a controller to “mate-points” or objects in the environment, mating to accessories, or to mating multiple controllers together in different configurations by joining them at one of several possible mating locations that are part of the controllers. Changing the device configurations transforms both the way that input from the controllers is interpreted and how feedback is sent back to the controller. The mating interfaces between the controllers can be tailored to prevent or allow relative motion as per desired for a specific use case and to accommodate human ergonomics.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 25, 2018Publication date: August 27, 2020Inventors: William R.
