A jump rope device includes a handle and a cable detachably connected to one another via a first and second connecting members. The handle includes a bearing assembly that is connected to the first connecting member via a connecting ring. A bearing post of the bearing assembly includes an enlarged portion that limits the range of motion of the bearing ring so as to prevent the first connecting member from making any contact with any portion of the handle other than the connecting ring.

An audio-based repetition counter system and method are disclosed. In some embodiments, the audio-based repetition sound counter system includes a computing device connected to a microphone. The computing device includes a processor and one or more memory devices, and a repetition counter module is stored on the memory device and executed by the processor. The repetition counter module processes audio data received from a microphone and provide a number of repetitions for one or more series of one or more activities; for example, jumping rope. Further, an audio-based method of counting repetitions for a physical activity is provided.

Mounting devices and methods for securing an exterior faucet or lines to an exterior wall of a building are provided. In one embodiment, a mounting device for securing an exterior faucet to an exterior wall of a building may include a pair of plates, a pair of first fasteners, and a pair of second fasteners. Each of the plates may include a base, a pair of arms extending from the base and spaced apart from one another, a first hole extending through the plate, and a second hole extending through the plate. The first fasteners may be configured to pass through the respective first holes of the plates, and the second fasteners may be configured to pass through the respective second holes of the plates.

A jump rope device includes a connection assembly having a male connecting member and a female connecting member. The male connecting member includes a head having first and second locking projections. The female connecting member defines an opening configured to receive at least a portion of the male connecting member into an internal cavity. The female connecting member includes first and second locking arms that are biased into a first position, and configured to move from the first position into a second position when the male connecting member is inserted into the opening. Rotation of the male connecting member relative to the female connecting member moves the locking projections out of contact with the locking arms and into respective apertures defined in the female connecting member, allowing the locking arms to return to the first position and creating a secure connection between the male and female connecting members.

Jump rope device with removably-connected cable

Jump rope devices which allow for the quick and easy interchanging of a cable of varying weight and length from handles configured to provide smooth rotation of such cables at both low and high speeds are disclosed. Devices in accordance with the disclosure may comprise a ball bearing assembly configured to facilitate 360-degree rotation of the cable. In an aspect, the handle of such jump rope devices is comprised of a ball bearing portion which enables both speed of rotational movement for a plurality of relatively lighter cables, and strength and durability for a plurality of relatively heavier cables. Handles may further comprise a snap hook assembly configured to facilitate rapid interchanging of cables.

A method for titration flow injection analysis by introducing a multicomponent sample into a carrier stream which flows into a mixing/sensing cell and titrating with a reactant more than one component of the sample by sensing a plurality of endpoints. The apparatus of the invention includes a stirring means within the mixing/sensing cell which generates helical flow within the cell so that bubbles are not retained in the cell.

An actinically curable composition containing (1) an oligomer having a molecular weight within the range of from about 200 to about 3000 and which is end capped with reactive functional groups to provide sites for free radical polymerization by actinic radiation and (2) as a reactive diluent, an N-vinyl-2-oxazolidinone in which the number 4 and 5 carbon atoms each have two constituents which are all independently selected from hydrogen and alkyl radicals having from 1 to 4 carbon atoms.
