RESISTANCE REGULATION DEVICE FOR STATIONARY EXERCISE EQUIPMENT
A stationary exercise equipment resistance regulation device includes a stator holder, an axle, a circuit board, at least one magnetism detection element, a rotary knob, and at least one magnet. When the rotary knob is operated to rotate, a distance between a magnet and the magnetism detection element is changed so as to vary a magnetic force detected by the magnetism detection element to thereby change a magnitude of an induced voltage or generate a rotation turn signal. Based on the induced voltage or the rotation turn signal, a signal processing device identifies a resisting force level and calculates data of one of a resisting force magnitude and wattage that the resistance device applies to the stationary exercise equipment.
Treadmill power station
A treadmill power station is connected between a treadmill and its power outlet. The treadmill power station contains a power consumption sensor that reads information about the usage of the treadmill by externally analyzing its power consumption pattern. Information that can be derived in this manner includes, but is not limited to, the user's speed, distance covered and step count, as well as the general power consumption trend for the treadmill itself. The power station may contain a relay to activate or deactivate power outlets on the power station.
Basketball training system
A basketball training system includes a ball delivery system in which a basketball is delivered to a ball ready holder located in front of a ball launch mechanism. A launch arm is grabbed and pulled backward against a spring force, and then is released to pivot forward and strike the basketball from the ball ready holder.
RESISTANCE SENSING MECHANISM FOR EXERCISE EQUIPMENT
A resistance sensing mechanism including a resistance adjusting unit including a holder frame, a locating sleeve disposed above the holder frame, an adjustment screw rod rotatably inserted through the locating sleeve and a screw nut threaded onto the adjustment screw rod and pivotally connected to the holder frame, and a sensor unit including a first linkage pivotally connected with one end to the screw nut, a second linkage having one end pivotally connected to an opposite end of the first linkage and an opposite end pivotally connected to the locating sleeve, a sensor mounted at one of the first and second linkages and a sensible member mounted at the other of the first and second linkages to face toward the sensor. Subject to the linkage relationship between the first and second linkages, the distance between the sensor and the sensible member can be changed, thereby generating a relative sensing signal.
DEVICE FOR MEASURING POWER IN RESPONSE TO VARYING STRIKING CONDITION
The present invention relates to a power measuring device capable of obtaining accurate measurement values corresponding to changes in the state or environment of a target to be struck, and in variable striking conditions, such as being struck in a state in which movement of the target occurs, and the like. To this end, the present invention includes an air pocket group (11g) configured such that air pockets (11) are respectively formed in regions leading to a score according to striking in a target when the power measuring device (10) corresponding to variable striking conditions is installed on a target used in a fighting exercise; a piping tubes (12) formed to transmit pressure to a pressure sensor (13a) on the other side according to a change in volume on the air pocket (11) to increase the efficiency of score determination, by measuring a power at the time of strike by determining a strength (power) of the strike with an impulsive force applied to the air pocket (11); and a check valve (12a) formed in each piping tube (12) connecting each air pocket (11) at a front end of the pressure sensor (13a) to prevent air discharged when the air pocket (11) corresponding to a target point is struck from flowing to another air pocket (11) through the piping tube (12) connected to the pressure sensor (13a).
Swing training system and method
A swing training system includes a base unit having a grapple that is movable between open and closed positions. A free end of an elongated swing device, such as a golf club or a hockey stick, is secured within the grapple. The swing device is manipulated to exert a force on the grapple and a load cell, away from the base unit, for a predetermined value, such as force and/or time. Relative movement between the grapple and the base is substantially limited while the swing device is manipulated. Once the predetermined value is attained, the grapple releases the free end of the swing device.
Reducing Brain Injury By Limiting Brain Motion During Sudden Deceleration Or Acceleration Of The Head
A brain injury reduction system provides a protective measure that temporarily or decreases venous drainage out of the intracranial compartment during or immediately before and during a sudden change in acceleration of an individual's head. Specifically, a wearable helmet or other wearable structure of the brain injury reduction system detects an impending collision and determines whether a protective measure is needed. If so, one or more actuation devices provides the protective measure to reduce venous drainage through one or both of the internal jugular veins or paravertebral venous plexus. A first actuation device stimulates a gag reflex or valsalva-like maneuver to reduce venous drainage through the paravertebral venous plexus. A second actuation device can physically compress the internal jugular veins. Thus, the brain injury reduction system minimizes the detrimental impact that may occur due to the sudden change in acceleration of the individual's head.
ADVANCED SYSTEM FOR PHYSICAL CONDITIONING AND SPORTS TRAINING
The present disclosure provides a system for conditioning and training, generally comprising a floor portion and at least one guide within a line of sight of the floor portion. The guide is configured to display training programs for a user to use to improve sports skills, such as hockey skills for example. In an embodiment, the floor portion has RFID tags to determine where a puck or other object is located. In another embodiment, the system has an apparatus to determine, verify or display a puck location. The apparatus can be either a camera or an AR unit such as glasses. Based on information provided and received, the system can tailor exercises for a user and provide enhanced statistics to improve skills.
Sense-enabled apparel
Systems and methods for integrating and using sensor system in articles of apparel are provided. The system may include an apparel piece sized and dimensioned to be worn on a user and a sensor system integrated with the apparel piece. The sensor system may include at least one stretchable capacitive sensor positioned on the apparel piece so as to measure a biometric parameter of the user when the apparel piece is worn, an illumination system configured to provide illumination in a specified illumination area based on the measured biometric parameter of the user, and a control module to control one or more settings of the illumination system.
SAFETY CONTROL SYSTEM FOR MOTORIZED RESISTANCE EQUIPMENT UTILIZING ONE-WAY CLUTCHES
An exercise apparatus includes a rope wrapped around a spindle having a one-way clutch rotatably mounted on a driveshaft. The driveshaft is driven by a motor controlled by a motor controller. The controller is capable of driving and braking the motor such that the driving torque and the braking torque can be set at different values to ensure the safety of the apparatus and user.
