A portable magnification angle adjuster for golf putting is proposed. More particularly, in the portable magnification angle adjuster for golf putting, the decrease of the beauty and portability of the magnification angle adjuster due to the protruding of the knob from the casing during the rotation of a knob for the rectilinear movement of a rotation weight is prevented, and the range of the engagement of threads formed to move the rotation weight is limited such that the moving distance of the rotation weight is limited. To this end, the portable magnification angle adjuster includes: a casing; an indication hand; a knob; and a dial; and a rotation weight.

The present invention relates to a golf swing platform linked to a virtual golf course, and may independently drive a swing-stage part and a hitting part of the platform, and the inclination information may be calculated from terrain information of an area corresponding to the swing-stage part and the hitting part of the platform based on a position where a virtual ball is placed on the virtual golf course, and the swing-stage part and the hitting part may be controlled to be driven, respectively.

Aspects of the subject technology relate to communication device used as a power meter. The communication device includes circuitry to determine values of several forces and a processor. The processor determines a combined force by combining the determined values of the forces. The processor further determines a value of a power based on the s combined force, a speed and a loss factor. The communication device is used by a user to measure the power. The power is generated by the user when engaged in an activity, and the forces affect a movement of the user.

An indoor, stationary, bicycle training device that provides advantages over conventional designs of exercise bicycles is provided. The stationary bicycle may include a tilting/pivoting mechanism to orient the indoor bicycle to simulate descending or climbing. The indoor bicycle may include flexible and resilient frame elements to support the indoor training device to move side-to-side under some riding situations thereby simulating the side-to-side swaying motion of an outdoor bicycle under the same riding situations. The indoor bicycle may include several combinations of frame adjustments to provide configurable dimensions of the indoor bicycle to adjust the frame to properly fit the rider, which may be adjusted based on corresponding dimensions of a user's outdoor bicycle. Still other aspects of the stationary bicycle device may aid in creating an “outdoor” feeling while using the device.

A method includes providing a first video file to a plurality of exercise machines, the first video file including content associated with an exercise class. The method also includes receiving user data from the plurality of exercise machines, the user data including respective settings associated with a common performance metric. In such a method, the respective settings are used on the plurality of exercise machines during playback of a particular part of the first video file. The method also includes identifying a timestamp associated with the particular part of the first video file, and generating an executable control corresponding to the performance metric. The method further includes generating a second video file comprising the content and the executable control. In such methods, playback of the second video file causes display of the executable control at a part of the second video file corresponding to the timestamp.

An apparatus for controlling of a training device including a training device configured to absorb a mechanical power applied by a person undertaking physical training, an assistance unit configured to assist the training and/or to make the training more difficult, and an exertion measuring apparatus configured to measure mechanical exertion data of an effort applied by the person during the training, a body sensor configured to measure physiological data of the body of the person, a computing unit configured, with an optimization algorithm, to adjust coefficients, a summand, and delays to prepare a prediction of the physiological data based on a model, and a control unit configured to take a predetermined reference variable for the physiological data, to take the prediction as a control variable, and to control an assistance of the assistance unit as a manipulated variable.

A device includes a signaling means and a motion sensor, and logic for activating or controlling the signaling means in response to a sensed motion according to an embedded logic. The device may be used as a toy, and may be shaped like a play ball or as a handheld unit. It may be powered from a battery, either chargeable from an AC power source directly or contactless by using induction or by converting electrical energy from harvested kinetic energy. The embedded logic may activate or control the signaling means, predictably or randomly, in response to sensed acceleration magnitude or direction, such as sensing the crossing of a preset threshold or sensing the peak value. The visual means may be a numeric display for displaying a value associated with the count of the number of times the threshold has been exceeded or the peak magnitude of the acceleration sensed.

The present invention may be embodied as a system or method for dynamically exercising a user's neck muscles. The system includes a headset, an arm attached thereto, a weight, and at least one motor to move the weight, for example, about the arm. The weight may be mounted eccentrically on a radial track that is rotatable by one motor and moved linearly by another motor. The direction of the arm, the distance between an apex of the headset and the weight, the eccentricity of the weight on the axis, and the speed of rotation of the motor are all parameters that can be adjusted by the caregiver or user, either manually or via controlling software.
