  • Publication number: 20240149100
    Abstract: An exercise rack pulley system for providing a wide range of versatile arrangements of pulleys on an exercise rack. An example embodiment generally includes an exercise rack including one or more support members and arm members. One or more pulley units may be attached to one or more support members and/or arm members of the exercise rack. Each of the pulley units includes a bracket for attaching to the exercise rack and a frame for supporting a rotatable pulley. The frame is adjustably connected with the bracket such that each pulley unit may be adjusted between at least two positions, including a first position in which the frame is parallel with the bracket and a second position in which the frame is perpendicular with the bracket. A cable is routed through the pulley units and connected to a weight to accommodate a wide range of different types of exercises.

  • Patent number: 10820959
    Abstract: A system for charging an onboard battery of a medical device prior to use of the medical device may include a package configured to accommodate the medical device therein. A power source may be disposed relative to the package and may be capable of charging the onboard battery of the medical device prior to use of the medical device. The system may be capable of being subjected to a sterilization process with the power source disposed within the second cavity. In some instances, the power source is uncharged during sterilization. In some cases, the power source is encapsulated or otherwise sealed during sterilization.

  • Patent number: 10818577
    Abstract: A microphone packaging assembly (100) provides a printed circuit board (pcb) (106) for coupling to a microphone device (102) having a bottom acoustic port (104). The pcb provides an acoustic port opening (108) which aligns with the bottom acoustic port (104) of the microphone device (102). A solder pad pattern (110) is disposed on the pcb (106). The solder pad pattern (110) is configured to provide both electrical connection (114) and an incomplete solder seal (116) having purposeful acoustic leak to the microphone device (102). A conformable coating (126) provides a seal to the purposeful acoustic leak. A single acoustic test can be performed to detect proper environmental protection and acoustic sealing of the packaged assembly (100).
