Abstract: An exercise machine for working core muscles includes a base, a handle bar connected to the base, and a leg support assembly connected to the base and extending substantially horizontally in a direction away from the handle bar. When one of the handle bar and leg support assembly is swung in a clockwise direction, the other of the handle bar and leg support assembly is swung in a counterclockwise direction, and when the one of handle bar and leg support assembly is swung in a counterclockwise direction, the other of the handle bar and leg support assembly is swung in a clockwise direction. The opposite direction rotations of the handle bar and leg support assembly create a double twist motion in the core muscles of a user of the machine.

Abstract: A hand-foot composite motion exercise machine generally includes a supportive frame, a transmission unit, a crank means, and a pair of linkage units. The exercise machine allows a user to change the configuration of each linkage unit through a raising/lowering device and a displacing device, so as to adjust the motion path of a pedal provided at each linkage unit, and the force required for treading the pedal. In use, while a user steps on the pedals to exercise, each pedal can perform a substantially elliptical closed path, which is ergonomical so that the user can be protected from exercise injury.

Abstract: The invention relates to a small, low-noise side channel compressor for producing a defined volumetric flow, such as is needed in particular for devices for ventilation therapy. This is achieved by means of a new type of shape of the blade chambers (24) in the impeller (12) and the blade chamber walls (29), which separate the blade chambers and become thicker toward the circumference of the impeller, supported by a high-speed drive and a large number of blade chambers (24) at a small impeller diameter.

Abstract: A breathing device comprises a respiratory gas source for generating a gas pressure for a patient, delivered by a respiratory mask, a measuring unit for measuring a measurement quantity characteristic of inhalation or exhalation, and a control unit which determines the patient's tidal volume from the measurement quantity and compares this with a setpoint value of the tidal volume. The control unit regulates the respiratory gas source such that the generated gas pressure is made available until the setpoint value of the tidal volume is reached. In addition, further regulation of a parameter characteristic of the patient's breathing is carried out. The method for controlling a respiratory gas source with a control unit for a patient's breathing comprises regulation of the patient's tidal volume by providing and applying inspiratory pressure and simultaneous regulation of a further breathing parameter.

Abstract: Provided is a bike training device having a frame that rotatably supports a pair of rear rollers spaced a distance apart from each other along a longitudinal axis of the frame to rotatably support a rear wheel of the bicycle that rolls on both of the rear rollers. A front roller is spaced apart from the rear rollers along the frame a suitable distance to rotatably support a front wheel of the bicycle. A guide apparatus comprising a connection mechanism that is pivotally supported at an elevation vertically above the frame cooperates with a rear hub of the bicycle and allows for lateral movement of the rear wheel in axial directions along the rear rollers during rotation of the rear wheel of the bicycle, but limits an extent of the lateral movement to maintain the rear wheel between terminal lateral ends of the rear rollers.

Abstract: A novel weight lifting plate is disclosed. The novel weight lifting plate has a large shaped central aperture. The central aperture is shaped to receive the hand of a user. The central aperture has a plurality of ball bearings extending into the central aperture. There are four lateral ball bearings which hold a barbell in the center of the central aperture when the plate is mounted on the barbell. The plate also has two central ball bearings. The central ball bearings are disposed in recesses with springs within the recesses. When the plate is placed on the barbell the barbell pushes the central ball bearings into the recesses. When the user desires to use the plate by hand, the user places their hand in the central aperture with the ball bearings disposed between the user's fingers.

Abstract: Described is an exercise tool. More particularly, it is a therapy and exercise tool specifically devised as a foot-therapy and toe-aligning device to align, separate, and stretch toes. The foot-therapy and toe-aligning device comprises a frame with a plurality of posts connected with the frame. The device is formed of an elastic material such that a user may place at least one of the plurality of posts between a user's toes and pull the post to stretch and elongate the post between the toes. Upon release, the elastic material of the post causes the post to attempt to return to its original shape, thereby causing it to expand out and conform its shape to fit snugly against the user's toes. Additionally, the elastic material allows the toe posts to be positioned and maintained at numerous locations between the user's toes for customizable positioning between the toes.
