A control mechanism for adjusting the speed of a treadmill belt is disclosed. The mechanism includes a disk mounted on a drum of the treadmill. A drive head which defines a plurality of dimensionally distinct cross-sectional circumferences is biased against the disk. The drive head is mounted on the drive shaft of a motor, the motor is mounted for displacement vis-a-vis the disk responsive to the displacement of a cable-fitted control lever which is connected thereto. A displacement of the motor adjusts the drive head positioning whereby the length of a path of the disk over the drive head's exterior surface may be modified, thereby causing a change in the angular velocity of the disk.

An adjustable height basketball standard includes a lower tube secured to a ground surface. An upper tube engages the lower tube. A raising and lowering mechanism includes a friction element and engages a handle that may be turned by the user. The friction element substantially resists downward movement of the upper tube unless the friction element is overridden through movement of the handle by the user. The friction element may be a wrap spring, a friction cone clutch, brake plates or shoes, or a similar device. In one embodiment, the upper tube includes a series of notches. A drive mechanism includes a drive housing with a gear that engages successive ones of the notches as the drive housing is turned. When the drive housing is turned clockwise, the upper tube raises with respect to the lower tube, and when the drive housing is turned in counter-clockwise, the upper tube lowers with respect to the lower tube. A spring is wrapped around the drive housing. When the handle is not turned, the spring resists counter-clockwise movement of the drive housing. When the handle turns clockwise, the spring turns with the drive housing. When the handle is turned counter-clockwise, the spring initially resists movement of the drive housing in the counter-clockwise direction. However, after the handle turns about 15 degrees, the spring to be momentarily released. A cable may be used rather than gears.

A computer-implemented method for optimizing process flow of an online order. The method includes the steps of providing a client device displaying a user interface, presenting a consumer with an information page in the user interface requesting a set of information, including the phone number of the consumer; receiving first level information from the consumer, including the consumer's phone number, and determining whether the phone number is eligible for third-party local exchange carrier billing. When the phone number is eligible for third-party local exchange carrier billing, the consumer is presented with a credit card billing page. If no credit card information is received, the consumer is then presented with a phone billing page. When the phone number is not eligible for third-party local exchange carrier billing, the consumer is presented with a credit card billing page.
