Abstract: Various devices, systems, methods, and apparatuses utilize mechanical assemblies to prevent, detect, and/or mitigate objects from entering or moving close to or under a treadmill or exercise machine. In some embodiments, a guard, or guard assembly, is attached or otherwise fixed to a rear area of a treadmill. The guard assembly may include an end cap and pivoting guard configured to be retrofit to existing treadmills, such as to a rear end or area of a deck or frame of a treadmill.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media taught herein process a subset of a three-dimensional array of voxels to form an image of a region of interest in an object. Images thus formed are clear, comprehensible, and contextual. The systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media taught herein select the subset of voxels that represent the region of interest along a direction perpendicular to a view direction defined by the region of interest. The subset of voxels represents one or more portions of a plurality of image slices of the object.

Abstract: A header (10) for use with an inner-cooled half coil (13) in a stator phase winding of an electrical generator. The half coil may include a stack of cooling tubes (16,18) with a first stack of conductive strands (20, 22, 24, 26) adjacent a first side of the stack of cooling tubes and a second stack of conductive strands (20, 22, 24, 26) adjacent a second side of the stack of cooling tubes. A header (10) is conductively bonded (92) by brazing to each strand of the first stack of conductive strands (20, 22, 24, 26) and to each strand of the second stack of conductive strands (20, 22, 24, 26) for consolidating the first and second stacks of conductive strands. A means (34, 36) for allowing a coolant to flow through the header (10) may be provided to allow coolant to flow through the stack of cooling tubes (16, 18).

Abstract: A cylinder deactivation arrangement for an engine is provided. The arrangement includes an engine with main oiling circuit passages and lifter oil gallery control circuit passages formed internal to a cylinder block of the engine. The lifter oil gallery control circuit is arranged so as to provide an oil flow path internal to the cylinder block from the main oiling circuit to the deactivating lifter. A lifter is positioned in the cylinder block and arranged in fluid communication with the lifter oil gallery control circuit. A control valve is positioned in the cylinder block and arranged in fluid communication with the main oiling circuit and the lifter oil gallery control circuit. The control valve is arranged to allow selective fluid communication of oil from the main oiling circuit to the lifter oil gallery control circuit to selectively control actuation of the lifter.

Abstract: A valve lifter for an internal combustion engine comprises an outer body, an inner body and at least one pin. The inner body is movable with respect to the outer body, and the at least one pin is movable in response to hydraulic pressure into the groove to lock the outer body against movement relative to the inner body.
