An apparatus for exercising may include a gripping assembly having a grip fixed to at least one spring member and at least one tether connected to the at least one spring member. The tether winds around the longitudinal axis of the at least one spring member. Also, an object may be connected to the tether. In some embodiments, the object may be a weight, an anchor, or a second gripping assembly. Alternatively, the apparatus may include a gripping assembly having at least one spring member connected to a tether and a grip connected to the tether. A free standing object may be connected to the tether. Methods according to the present disclosure use the apparatus by applying a force to the grip(s).

Distributed advertising can be accomplished employing systems that include a portable display device, and a controller, wherein the display device can determine its geographic location. Such a system can then communicate its location to a controller which in turn can then download to the display device advertising content. People transporting the display devices, either by foot or by vehicle, can be compensated for their efforts.

A magnetic device may have a matrix and a plurality of magnets, and the magnetic device may have a force sufficient to maintain a contracted position upon being contracted from a stretched state. The matrix may have at least two hinges that may be or include, but are not limited to a living hinge, a mechanical hinge, or combinations thereof. The plurality of magnets may be disposed upon, within, or around the matrix, and at least one dimension of each magnet is at least 500 nm. In a non-limiting embodiment, at least one of the magnets may be an energizable magnet for increasing or decreasing the rebound force of the magnetic device when the magnetic device is energized.

Wounds and temporary appliances can be protected against liquid contamination using a prophylactic dressing. The dressing includes a liquid resistant sheet and disposed thereon a first liquid barrier/adhesive strip and a second liquid barrier/adhesive strip wherein the first and second liquid barrier/adhesive strips are concentric; located at or near the periphery of the liquid resistant sheet; and are separated from one another by a gap. Adsorbent's and liquid indicators can be employed within the gap to add further functionality to the dressing. Also disclosed herein is a support useful for stabilizing leads to transcutaneous or percutaneous devices.

A device incorporating both a magnet and a living hinge may be employed to construct cases to protect electronic devices and to function as a closure for cases and lidded containers. Such cases often can be bent three 360° allowing the cases to be either closed protecting devices therein are closed upon themselves allowing the case to function to secure an electronic device to a substrate such as an article of clothing The devices of the disclosure can also be used to organize and hold loose items together.
摘要:
A lens and/or a view screen of an electronic device having at least one case can be cleaned by wiping the view screen with a cleaning component wherein the cleaning component is configured to selectively couple to the at least one case or some other substrate using a magnetic attractive force. The cleaning devices may have secondary applications such as securing fly fishing lures, activating or deactivating a device having a magnetic switch, or preventing sunglasses from sinking. They may also be manufactured without a cleaning component for use with the secondary applications.
