20090316326 | Systems And Methods For Demotivating Using A Drape - A demotivator, according to various aspects of the present invention, may include a drape that comes into operating distance of a subject by deployment of the drape, movement of the drape toward the subject, or by movement of the subject toward the drape. The demotivator may pass a current through the drape and through the subject to cause skeletal muscle contractions or pain to interfere with locomotion by the subject. A drape may come into operating distance of the subject or remains within operating distance of the subject under the influence of the force of gravity. A drape may be deployed from an overhead structure to fall into draping contact with a subject. | 12-24-2009 |

20090083428 | SWITCHING BETWEEN CONENCTIVITY TYPES TO MAINTAIN CONNECTIVITY - Techniques are provided for leveraging narrowband connectivity (such as dial-up communications or other types of low bandwidth communications) to provision or configure broadband connectivity between a broadband access provider and a broadband device, such as a DSL modem or a cable modem. Specifically, because narrowband connectivity does not require advance configuration or provisioning by the host system of connectivity parameters for an access-seeking device, a modem at an access-seeking device may be leveraged to establish a narrowband connection between that device and a host system and to enable an exchange or negotiation of connectivity parameters necessary to enable future broadband connectivity. Thus, once established, the narrowband connection may be used as a conduit for communicating required provisioning information between the broadband-enabling host and the access-seeking device to enable broadband connectivity by the device in the future. | 03-26-2009 |

20110281694 | Exercise Cycle With Planetary Gear System And Rolling Recoiled Lateral Motion System - A planetary gear system in an exercise machine featuring a flywheel; an axle shaft positioned through the center of the flywheel, a sun gear disposed on the axle shaft and fixedly attached to the flywheel, a housing disposed on the axle shaft, a planet carrier fixedly attached to the axle shaft and disposed in the housing, and a ring gear fixedly attached in the housing. One or more planet gear wheels are rotatably attached to the planet carrier. The planet gear wheels can rotate independently of the planet carrier. Rotation of the axle shaft in a first direction rotates the planet carrier in the first direction, thereby causing the planet gear wheel to rotate in a second direction within the ring gear. Rotation of the planet gear wheel in the second direction causes the sun gear and the flywheel to together rotate in the first direction. | 11-17-2011 |

20100113223 | METHODS FOR SIMULATING RESISTANCE OF ROAD-GOING BICYCLE - A stationary exercise machine includes a system for electronically controlling a pedal resistance so as to simulate the riding of a road-going bicycle. The exercise machine includes a control system that monitors pedal velocity and that controls the resistive load generated by an electronically-controlled resistance mechanism. In one example, an electromagnetic device may vary a resistive load placed on a flywheel, which, in turn, varies the pedal resistance experienced by a user. When the user increases the pedal velocity, the resistance mechanism increases the resistive load. When the user decreases the pedal velocity, the resistance mechanism decreases the resistive load. In another example, the resistance mechanism varies the resistive load based on a gear selection by the user. The control system may also take into account other factors, such as the grade of the simulated ride, simulated wind resistance, or other frictional forces when calculating the resistive load. | 05-06-2010 |
