Illustrated systems may have structures with an output device and a sensor. The structure may include a vertically-arranged planar surface to form a wall. Several structures may be configured to form a boundary. The boundary may be automatically adjustable, for example, depending on one or more specific fitness routines to be implemented.

As shown in FIG. 1 the exercise machine of the preferred embodiments includes a mechanical force input interface 1 designed to interface with a user 5 and allow the user 5 to input force 4 into the exercise machine; a force resistor 2 that functions to resist force input into the mechanical force input interface 1 by a user 5; and a trigger mechanism 3 that functions to cause a sudden change in the resistance provided against the force input 4 by the user 5. The exercise machine of the preferred embodiments is designed to exercise muscles in a way that improves muscle speed, explosiveness, or both. Sudden is defined by the Oxford dictionary as “occurring or done quickly and unexpectedly or without warning”—given human reaction times of roughly 500 milliseconds the force reduction is expected to take place in under roughly 500 milliseconds. This is only described as a minimum effective time for sudden operation, not to provide an optimal range of operation. The reduction in force should take place quickly enough that the user will not easily react and reduce their force output, which would be roughly under 500 milliseconds. This exercise machine is does not operate in the same mode or with similarities to a spotting device or machine.

195 Wearable and convertible passive and active movement training robot: apparatus and method US13326317 2011-12-14 US20120165158A1 2012-06-28 Yupeng Ren; Li-Qun Zhang
In respects of limitations and problems of motor function training devices, the present invention provides a wearable and convertible device and a method for controlling combined motor function training. This device integrates the functions of both passive stretching function in the existing CPM devices and additional active assistive training function. Without a force/torque sensor element in the device, the present passive stretching control can still be adapted to hypertonia (high muscle tone or stiffness of joints) of the limb, and the present active assistive control can still be implemented for enhancing voluntary active movement from patients. With such present method, much more applications of active assistive training are supported at substantially no additional cost. On the other hand, the safety of such stretching devices without using force/torque sensor is improved, which assists in increasing the efficiency of the device of the present invention.
196 Golf Round Data System Golf Club Telemetry US13372210 2012-02-13 US20120149482A1 2012-06-14 Goodwyn George Reeves
Golf club telemetry equipment sends signals to a receiver in a golf round data system. The signals uniquely identify the particular club a player has selected for a stroke and the fact that a stroke has been taken. The club identification can occur either before or during a stroke. Automatic detection of clubs and strokes simplifies round data collection for the player. Club identification before a stroke permits a forecast of the result of the stroke to be presented to then player prior to the stroke. The signals can be either acoustic or electromagnetic.
