  • Publication number: 20200269085
    Abstract: 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.

    Abstract: Technologies are disclosed herein for one or more sensors arrayed adjacent to a golf course playing surface to track the trajectory and determine a resting location of a golf ball it travels along the golf course playing surface. The sensors may include motion detecting sensors that may determine various measurements related to the location and/or movement of the golf ball, such as an initial impact location, a velocity, and/or a direction of travel of the golf ball along the golf course playing surface. The signals from the motion detecting sensors may further be used to determine a resting location for the golf ball and/or a rate of acceleration/deceleration of the golf ball. The various signals may be averaged together to determine a velocity and/or direction of travel of the golf ball.

    Abstract: A method for cognitive brain training, psychological motivation, and recovery to be used in conjunction with physical exercise in order to reduce the effects of mental and physical fatigue and improve athletic performance. A plurality of input devices integrate ergonomically with different sports so as not to limit movement, eye-hand coordination or negatively impact physical training. Software, executable on a portable computing device is configured for a sport, enabling an athlete to perform physical and cognitive tasks at the same time. Metrics, formulas and algorithms combine the athlete's self-rated performance with real-time cognitive and physiological output metrics to provide reports of the athlete's performance for each workout and for all workouts overtime. Mental recovery and motivation protocols used to help athletes stay on task and recover from the physical training.

    Abstract: A finger guard for use with a goalie hockey stick includes a collar arranged to be frictionally retained about the paddler portion of the goalie hockey stick and a guard body on the collar so as to be supported on the paddle portion of the goalie hockey stick in proximity to the top end of the paddle portion to protrude outwardly from a major front face of the paddle portion. The guard body has a bottom face which is arranged to be oriented substantially perpendicularly to the common plane of the paddle portion. The guard body provides the function of deflecting pucks away from the fingers of the goalie even when pucks are deflected upwardly along the paddle portion of the goalie hockey stick.

    Abstract: 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?).

  • Publication number: 20200269130
    Abstract: 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.
