  • Patent number: 11040239
    Abstract: An exercise device includes a base, a first platform and a second platform. Both platforms move between a forward position and a rearward position along each own path relative to the base. The exercise device includes a flexible member operatively coupled with the first and second platforms. Furthermore, a resistance mechanism is coupled with the flexible member and configured to resist movement of at least one of the first platform and the second platform. The resistance mechanism includes a disc positioned parallel to the base and is configured to allow the disc to rotate relative to a vertical axis of the base. In addition, the flexible member is configured to allow the disc to rotate reciprocally in response to movement of the first platform or second platform.

  • Publication number: 20050006939
    Abstract: An electronic control system (24) for a vehicle seat is provided that includes a seat base (12), a seat back (14), an operator input device (30) and a control circuit (26). The seat base has a seat back motor (34) configured to move a seat base forward and backward. The seat back has a seat back motor (32) configured to adjust an angle of inclination of the seat back. The operator input (30) device is configured to received operator commands for movement of the vehicle seat. The control circuit is configured to receive the operator commands and to control the seat base motor and the seat back motor. The control circuit is also configured to move the seat base and the seat back at a ratio of approximately 1 degree of inclination to between approximately 1 mm to approximately 4 mm of forward or backward movement of the seat base.
