  • Publication number: 20220355179
    Abstract: An exercise machine can include sensors to detect objects proximate to and/or moving towards the exercise machine. For example, a treadmill, or a control system associated with the treadmill, can determine an object is moving towards or is already proximate to a deck of the treadmill (e.g., a front area, middle area, or rear area of the deck of the treadmill) and modify operations of the treadmill in response to the determined or detected object or object movement. The treadmill can utilize various detection mechanisms when determining an object is within a proximity to the treadmill, such as time-of-flight (ToF) sensors or cameras, millimeter wave (mmWave) sensors, computer vision (CV) technology, and so on, to detect the proximity of the object (or movement of the object).

  • Patent number: 9716482
    Abstract: Various methods and devices that involve tuning filters are disclosed. A disclosed method for tuning a filter comprises trimming a center frequency of the filter. The method also comprises trimming an input signal magnitude of the filter. The method also comprises measuring a performance metric of the filter after trimming the center frequency of the filter and the input signal magnitude of the filter. The method also comprises repeating the trimming steps and the measuring step until the filter is tuned for a first physical test condition. A disclosed device that includes a filter also includes first and second trimming circuits that trim the center frequency and input signal magnitude of the filter. A disclosed system includes a motor to transfer a transmitting device from a first physical test condition to a second physical test condition relative to a proximity coupling device with a filter.
