The present invention is directed to devices, systems, and methods for intelligent or ‘smart’ exercise equipment to indicate the location, the intent to use, and/or the amount and/or type of use of a piece of exercise equipment. More specifically, one embodiment of the invention may be used to locate or indicate the location of a portable piece of exercise equipment. Such an indicator may also indicate to other users, a particular user's intent to use the piece of equipment such that other users will not attempt to use the equipment or the current user may end their use of the equipment and pass it to the intended user. In a further embodiment, the indicator may not be activated if the piece of exercise equipment is already in use by a current user. In another embodiment of the invention, the amount of use of, e.g., repetitions done on, a piece of exercise equipment may be indicated to the user or may be logged for later viewing, downloading, or transmission. Similarly, another embodiment of the invention may determine, indicate, store, display, download, and/or transmit the type of exercise done on a piece of equipment. Any of the above embodiments may include electronic devices or systems mounted in or on the exercise equipment itself. Those systems and/or devices may be rechargeable at a recharging unit within the mounting location for that piece of equipment.

359/159000, 359/172000

A free-space laser communication system and method for compensating for the atmospheric effects and target motion of a target that may occur during free-space laser communication between of a pair of the systems. Each system makes use of a plurality of narrow infrared (IR) laser beams, a means for pointing and tracking the laser, an adaptive optics system and a communications transceiver. Optionally turbo coding techniques may be used to encode data transmitted by each of the systems. The laser communication system is less susceptible to adverse weather effects that could otherwise negatively influence the operation of an optical communication system.

A communication device and method for operating the same includes a GPS receiver that periodically generates a position signal, a wireless modem transmitting or receiving messages and a controller that is coupled to the receiver and the modem. The controller discontinues operating the wireless modem when the GPS signal generates the position signal and vice versa to reduce interference with the other device.

A method for initializing a system having a non-volatile memory includes supplying power to the system, running a program having an initialization portion and an operational portion. Upon an initial power application, the non-volatile memory is initialized by executing initialization portion. The program code is modified with the program so that the initialization portion is bypassed upon further applications of power to the system.

455/435100, 455/556100

A communication system includes a mobile unit that has a wireless modem that receives a base station message signal. The mobile unit further includes a text display, a single button interface and a microcontroller. The microcontroller is coupled to the wireless modem and the single button interface. The microcontroller generates an acknowledge signal in response to the activation of the single button interface. The single button interface may also be used to scroll menus and issue commands to the base station.

A communication system comprises a mobile unit that generates mobile unit position signals and message signals. A base station is wireless two-way coupled to the mobile unit. The base station has a GPS receiver that generates base station position signals, a master wireless modem that receives the mobile unit position signals, and the mobile unit message signals. The base station includes a base display changing in response to the mobile unit position signals and the base station position signal.

A method for a communication system includes generating a message inquiry signal, sending the message inquiry signal to a base station to determine if updated command messages are available from the base station. When updated command messages are available from the base station, the updated command messages are transmitted to the device. The device may then operate a text display using the updated command messages.
