  • Publication number: 20250041647
    Abstract: A resistance training machine, a method of providing custom workouts, and a method of providing feedback on user form and user balance are disclosed. The resistance training machine includes a left and right motor, a left and right pulley system, a left and right cable, a machine controller, and an HMI. Advantageously, the resistance training machine can provide isotonic exercises, isokinetic exercises, and feedback on form and balance for a user. The first method includes a user calibrating one or more exercises, selecting an exercise, selecting an exercise mode, and performing the exercise. For each exercise, a motor may ramp up to and ramp down from a selected velocity or force level. The second method includes a user performing an exercise, a machine controller receiving position data, torque data, and force data throughout the exercise, the machine controller generating user feedback, and an HMI displaying the feedback to the user.

  • Patent number: 10893226
    Abstract: A digital focal plane array includes an all-digital readout integrated circuit in combination with a detector array. The readout circuit includes unit cell electronics, orthogonal transfer structures, and data handling structures. The unit cell electronics include an analog to digital converter. Orthogonal transfer structures enable the orthogonal transfer of data among the unit cells. Data handling structures may be configured to operate the digital focal plane array as a data encryptor/decipherer. Data encrypted and deciphered by the digital focal plane array need not be image data.

  • Patent number: 9768785
    Abstract: Digital focal plane arrays (DFPAs) with multiple counters per unit cell can be used to convert analog signals to digital data and to filter the digital data. Exemplary DFPAs include two-dimensional arrays of unit cells, where each unit cell is coupled to a corresponding photodetector in a photodetector array. Each unit cell converts photocurrent from its photodetector to a digital pulse train that is coupled to multiple counters in the unit cell. Each counter in each unit cell can be independently controlled to filter the pulse train by counting up or down and/or by transferring data as desired. For example, a unit cell may perform in-phase/quadrature filtering of homodyne- or heterodyne-detected photocurrent with two counters: a first counter toggled between increment and decrement modes with an in-phase signal and a second counter toggled between increment and decrement modes with a quadrature signal.
