  • EXERCISE MACHINE WITH MULTI-FUNCTION WHEEL BRAKE ACTUATOR AND OVER CENTER LOCKING MECHANISM
    Publication number: 20160263417
    Abstract: An exercise machine, such as indoor cycle, including a multi-function wheel brake actuator. A braking force is induced on a wheel, such as through eddy currents or frictionally, by finely or coarsely adjusting the brake actuator. The brake actuator may thus include a knob whereby a user may finely adjust the braking force on the wheel and a lever to actuate interval settings whereby the brake actuator provides set positions of braking resistance. The exercise machine may further include a pop-pin assembly with an over-center cam mechanism to clamp members together. The pop-pin assembly also includes a fine adjustment to adjust the clamping force. So, for example, the seat stem may be clamped to the seat tube, or the handlebar stem clamped to the head tube, with a lever actuating the over center mechanism.

  • Publishing-Point Management for Content Delivery Network
    Publication number: 20120066352
    Abstract: A system and method for delivering content objects over the Internet to an end user system with a content delivery network (CDN) is disclosed. Content objects may be dynamically served by loading and/or reconfiguring publishing points upon receipt of an end user request. When an end-user media player requests a content object, the request is assigned to an edge server within a particular POP of the CDN. An optional peer-discovery algorithm may determine a content source for the requested content object within the CDN. The peer-discovery algorithm determines whether the publishing point associated with the requested object is loaded into the edge server. Alternatively, the algorithm queries other edge servers within or remote from the POP to determine whether the request is mapped by other edge servers to a content source using their respective publishing points. The edge server may reconfigure its publishing point toward the content source.

  • Spark plug port compression cap
    Patent number: 6050135
    Abstract: The disclosed invention is an inexpensive, simple and reusable device to aid in setting the spark plug timing of an internal combustion engine by allowing one person to detect a piston's top dead center. In function, the detector is sealably inserted into a spark plug port and is forcibly expelled by the pressure maximum that occurs at top dead center. The detector's expulsion is accompanied by a "pop" sound similar to when a champagne cork is expelled from its bottle, and which can be remotely perceived by the user.
