| 20080261774 | Seat for cardio-fitness equipment - One embodiment of the present invention discloses a cardio-fitness equipment with a seat that features height adjustment, proximity to handlebars adjustment, and easy removal of the seat for the purpose of exchange with a different user-selected model or for cleaning. | 10-23-2008 |
| 20090118099 | CLOSED-LOOP POWER DISSIPATION CONTROL FOR CARDIO-FITNESS EQUIPMENT - Various embodiments of the present invention provide (a) an inexpensive apparatus enabling the measurement of power dissipated by the rider of a cardio-fitness station (or any other stationary bicycle) that does not depend on manufacturing tolerances or machine condition variations, and (b) a method of using the data measured by such an apparatus to improve the accuracy of exercise condition settings by implementing the invented apparatus into a closed-loop control system which improves the quality of the exercise experience and enhances the adoption of exercise on a cardio-fitness station employing this as a community activity. | 05-07-2009 |
| 20100022354 | EXERCISE EQUIPMENT WITH MOVABLE HANDLE BARS TO SIMULATE STEERING MOTION IN A SIMULATED ENVIRONMENT AND METHODS THEREFOR - An apparatus of exercise equipment with movable handle bars to simulate steering motion in a virtual environment and methods therefor are disclosed. One embodiment of the apparatus includes, exercise equipment having a display unit and a computing unit, a foot actuator mounted on a frame of the exercise equipment, a seat assembly coupled to a rail mounted on the frame of the exercise equipment, and/or a handle bar coupled to the seat assembly on one side. The handle bar can be programmable or reprogrammable to cause a leftwards steering motion or a rightwards steering motion to be simulated in the virtual environment in response to rotation in a given direction. | 01-28-2010 |
| 20100035726 | CARDIO-FITNESS STATION WITH VIRTUAL-REALITY CAPABILITY - In one embodiment, a stationary exercise station is provided. The stationary exercise station includes a computer which may run a computer program. The computer program simulates the motion of a first virtual bicycle and a second virtual bicycle. The first virtual bicycle and the second virtual bicycle riding through a predetermined landscape. The computer program simulates moving images seen by the virtual rider of the first virtual bicycle while riding through the predetermined landscape. | 02-11-2010 |
| 20100077564 | HINGE APPARATUS TO FACILITATE POSITION ADJUSTMENT OF EQUIPMENT - A hinge apparatus to facilitate equipment position adjustment is disclosed. One embodiment of a system includes, a hinge apparatus having a through-hole, a rotate-able portion and a body portion. The system further includes, equipment having a first portion coupled to the rotate-able portion of the hinge apparatus, a second portion coupled to the body portion of the hinge apparatus, and an electrical wire that facilitates function of the equipment. The electrical wire is disposed in the hinge extending through the through-hole. The hinge apparatus is operatively configured such that the electrical wire remains intact during when the rotate-able portion of the hinge rotates. | 04-01-2010 |
