A recently popular form of exercise and therapy, aquatic exercising devices present unique operating conditions to the body because of their use of water resistance and their buoyancy. By making proper use of water resistance, such devices can provide the body with excellent muscular and cardiovascular training, at the same time, the buoyancy offered by these devices eliminates the stress and injuries associated with the jarring impact of such landbased exercises as running and aerobics. It is also an object of the present invention to provide an aquatic exercise devise that is a singular unit. The inventor began attending a water aerobic class in 1995 for health reasons. Exercising in the water took most of the pain out of the movement, but the inventor found that she was still hurting herself. She sought to reach a truly weightless state in which to condition her body. She tried the various devices provided by the pool facility but none proved effective in granting her the non-impact workout she was determined to find. With a problem to solve the inventor experimented, altered and designed a new and improved floatation device that is uniquely different in its adaptability to numerous applications. A uniquely different floatation device this invention goes beyond the restrictive designs of prior art designed to address one or another aspect of aquatic safety, exercise, rehabilitation or recreation. This invention adapts to usage in a multitude of expressions from water yoga, a unique synergy of ancient eastern culture and modern day technology; to aqua aerobic exercises incorporating cardiovascular enhancement activities; rehabilitation of physical injury or illness; as well as addressing the basic aspects of water safety and learning how to swim. A floatation device for various exercises, instruction, rehabilitation, therapeutic and / or recreational purposes; this invention provides floatation support as no other product on the market because of its unique design and flexibility and the multiple number of ways in which it can be used. With this invention its possible to float supine, moving through various water yoga relaxation movements and stretches; ride it like a bicycle seat; sit on it like a swing; wrap it around the torso and clip it on for deep water workout and / or for those who are uncomfortable in water, but who must get in for health and / or rehabilitation purposes; hold it with hands; slip it under arms, front to back, or back to front; all to move through various exercises for health, rehabilitation and fun. The variation is used to provide superior floatation in a clip on style. With this invention secured around the torso, up the chest and around the back of the neck, the wearer is provided with no-hands support. While wearing the invention the wearer can float forward to swim and learn strokes; tread water in an upright position; and / or float supine; all with complete range of motion of limbs and / or torso. This variation of the invention can be utilized in swimming instruction, pool safety, rehabilitation, recreation, instruction and general poolside safety.

A computer-implemented system for creating a classification significance pattern for end users, and enabling end users to use their classification significance pattern to conduct custom searches for target information, such as information about products, services, and jobs, as well as enabling third parties, such as vendors and potential employers, to target their advertisements to groups of users meeting a certain classification. A classification significance pattern is created by having a user take a psychological test, for example, that includes a personality test, a design taste test, a recreation / travel test, a life satisfaction test, an interactive game module, or a career / job test, and having the system automatically score such test and classifying the user based on a defined abstract classification.

The invention discloses an intelligent entertainment mobile robot. Two guide wheels are arranged on two sides of the front part of a frame; two driving wheels are arranged on two sides of the rear part of the frame; and the wheels are driven by a driving motor with a speed reducer. The intelligent entertainment mobile robot also comprises a power module for providing electric power for the whole machine, a monitoring module, a man-machine interaction module, a communication module, a master control module and a motion control module. The intelligent entertainment mobile robot is positioned and controlled by a method of combining a photopotential pose sensor and an infrared label-based mobile vision positioning mode, solves the problems that the conventional recreation facility has low intelligent level, single equipment function and low security coefficient, and also solves the problems of low robot loading capacity, high manufacturing cost and difficult commercial popularization in the conventional mobile robot research technology.
