20080243308 | Method and Apparatus for Using an Optical Mouse Scanning Assembly in Mobile Robot Applications - A method and apparatus of using an optical mouse scanning assembly for mobile robot platforms is disclosed. The optical mouse scanning assembly is disposed on a portion of the body of the robot platform that faces a propagation surface. In relation to this propagation surface various parameters, such as propagation velocity, slippage of limbs and relative displacement are determinable for the mobile robot in relation to a propagation surfaces. | 10-02-2008 |
20100009591 | Toy Vehicle Having Smoking Tire Function - The embodiments of the invention provide for a toy vehicle having a smoking tire function where during play of the toy vehicle the simulated smoke gives the toy vehicle an appearance of the toy vehicle performing a burnout, such as that which is seen as being performed by high horse powered drift cars, where the simulated smoke is generated by heating of a smoke fluid or through a water fogger. In either case the simulated smoke is released proximate the at least a wheel thereof to give the toy vehicle an appearance of having smoking tires. | 01-14-2010 |
20100009810 | Method and Apparatus for Interfacing Between a Wearable Electronic Device and a Server and An Article of Fitness Equipment - The user puts on a wearable electronic device at a gym and the wearable electronic device updates itself wirelessly through a server with a fitness session for the user that is stored within a plurality of user workout routines in a database as part of the server. The fitness session is a sequence of exercises the user should perform at the gym where the wearable electronic device provides an indication to the user of the various exercises. The user determines which exercises to complete and thereafter at the end of the fitness session the user's progress is stored back to the database. On a subsequent visit to the gym a second fitness session is derived based upon the first fitness session where preferably this second fitness session is derived with the assistance of a trained professional. Optionally if an article of fitness equipment is busy, the user is advised of another article of fitness equipment to utilize. Optionally the machines are equipped with a wireless interface that allows the wearable electronic device to know which machine is being used. | 01-14-2010 |
20100308725 | Aesthetic Device for Providing of Electrical Power to External Electronic Devices - A novel aesthetic device is disclosed for providing of electrical power to external electronic devices. The aesthetic device is formed from an elongated band having a first end and a second end at opposites ends thereof and an engagement mechanism disposed proximate the second end of the elongated band for engaging of the elongated band proximate the first end. A plurality of rechargeable battery cells embedded within the elongated band for at least one of providing of electrical energy therefrom and for storing of electrical energy therein. A control circuit coupled with the plurality of rechargeable battery cells and a device connector coupled with the control circuit and the plurality of rechargeable battery cells for at least one of providing of electrical energy to an external electronic device for powering thereof and for receiving of electrical from an external electronic device for recharging of the plurality of rechargeable battery cells. Optionally, a plurality of light emitting diodes are disposed about the elongated band and coupled with the control circuit for having their intensity and color varied for aesthetic purposes. | 12-09-2010 |
