I am planning to place information here on the exercise machine that works against your lack of will power and makes you regularly exercise.

In 1994, I applied for a patent with the Russian Patent Office. The Office issued a Letter of Advice, indicating that I was granted patent priority on the new exercise machine and could proceed in order to get a Russian patent.
The Letter of Advice was issued right before I immigrated to the US. I did not pay the fee for issuing a patent and left for the US.
I should be eligible for getting a patent on the exercise machine here in the US, if I modify the design or features. I am going to research this issue and then decide when to disclose information on the machine.
