Method for manufacturing a thin strip in a soft magnetic alloy and strip obtained A method for manufacturing a strip in a soft magnetic alloy capable of being cut out mechanically, the chemical composition of which comprises by weight: TABLE-US-00001 18% ≤ Co ≤ 55% 0% ≤ V + W ≤ 3% 0% ≤ Cr ≤ 3% 0% ≤ Si ≤ 3% 0% ≤ Nb ≤ 0.5% 0% ≤ B ≤ 0.05% 0% ≤ C ≤ 0.1% 0% ≤ Zr + Ta ≤ 0.5% 0% ≤ Ni ≤ 5% 0% ≤ Mn ≤ 2% The remainder being iron and impurities resulting from the elaboration, according to which a strip obtained by hot rolling is cold-rolled in order to obtain a cold-rolled strip with a thickness of less than 0.6 mm. After cold rolling, a continuous annealing treatment is carried out by passing into a continuous oven, at a temperature comprised between the order/disorder transition temperature of the alloy and the onset temperature of ferritic/austenitic transformation of the alloy, followed by rapid cooling down to a temperature below 200° C. Strip obtained.

A system may include an inflatable assembly having a plurality of members. The system may also include a plurality of sensors disposed at a plurality of positions inside or around the inflatable assembly, such that the plurality of sensors may acquire data related to a shape of the inflatable assembly. The system also includes one or more valves, each configured to direct a fluid into a corresponding member of the plurality of members of the inflatable assembly. The system also includes a processor that adjusts positions of the one or more valves to cause the fluid to be directed into the corresponding member of the plurality of members of the inflatable assembly based on the data and a desired shape of the inflatable assembly.

A system is disclosed that includes a ball-throwing machine included within a first housing, a controller communicatively coupled to the ball-throwing machine and included within a second housing different than the first housing, a camera, and a non-transitory storage medium having stored thereon logic, the logic being executable by one or more processors to perform operations including: receiving information associated with a selection of a first training drill from the controller, responsive to receiving the information associated with the selection of the first training drill, causing the ball-throwing machine to impart motion to one or more balls in accordance with the first training drill, receiving multimedia data of a player captured by the camera, and performing a player recognition procedure to locate the player within the multimedia data.

A configurable motor-task mat system includes a flexible mat having an upper surface and a lower surface and a plurality of adhesive-free decals each including a front surface and a rear surface, respectively. The flexible mat includes an upper surface providing a substantially uniform and highly smooth surface. Each of the decal rear surfaces include a smooth glossy surface. Each of the plurality of adhesive-free decals include information provided in a graphic, respectively, on the front surface, the information conveying a cue concerning a respective motor task to be performed by a user with the rear surface of the respective adhesive-free decal placed in contact with the upper surface of the flexible mat and the plurality of adhesive-free decals affixed to the flexible mat in a first configuration. The plurality of adhesive-free decals are configured to remain in a fixed location during use in the first configuration as a result of an adhesion established by a distance dependent molecular adhesion force between the rear surface of the decal and the upper surface of the flexible mat.

A water skills training device to facilitate water skills training for infants under the supervision of caretakers in shallow water environments is disclosed. The device includes a base to be placed in a shallow water environment, a receptacle placed onto the base and configured to receive and support an infant, and a floatation cushion removably engaged to the base and configured to support an infant's head or upper torso during water skills training. The floatation cushion can be easily removed or added as desired.

A training bat for optimizing the swing of a hitter includes a barrel portion and a handle portion connected to the barrel portion. The handle portion includes a handle having a generally cylindrical exterior surface that is engaged by a user to enable the user to grab and swing the training bat. The generally cylindrical exterior surface has a handle diameter sized large enough to substantially inhibit at least one hand of the user from wrapping around the generally cylindrical exterior surface when said at least one hand of the user grabs the generally cylindrical exterior surface of the handle to swing the training bat.

A luminous safety ball including an inner glowing body and a foam sphere covering the inner glowing body is provided. The inner glowing body is not a perfect sphere, the foam sphere has a non-uniform thickness, and light emitted by the inner glowing body passes through the foam sphere and permeates through a surface of the foam sphere to form light with different brightness thereon.

A fitness device is provided, the fitness device comprising: an elastomeric member having an interior cavity, the elastomeric member comprising a cylindrical portion extending between a first hemispherical endcap and a second hemispherical endcap, wherein a surface of the elastomeric member defines an aperture positioned between the interior cavity and an exterior of the elastomeric member; and a structured surface positioned on the surface of the elastomeric member over the aperture, the structured surface extending into the interior cavity of the elastomeric member.

The present invention is a flotation device that includes three-dimensional features to encourage children to wear the device more often. The added three-dimensional features give the flotation device a costume-like appearance.

The present invention is a shaped yoga mat and methods of using the inventive yoga mat that are directed towards instructing children. The inventive yoga mats have a flat center and a fringe area extending away laterally. The fringe area can be cut or trimmed into a variety of shapes that appeal to children, such as an animal or vehicle. A yoga instructor can then use the uniquely shaped yoga mats to spark a child's imagination through the use of exercises with a theme related to the yoga mats.
