Patent number: 7134754Abstract: A retinal camera is used to examine an eye, the camera including a light source having first and second sources emitting first and second wavelength bands. The first and second light sources are arranged to alternately produce light onto the retina such that the absorptivity of light of the first wavelength band by oxygenated blood is greater than the absorptivity of light of the second wavelength band, and the absorptivity of light of the first wavelength band by the oxygenated blood is less than absorptivity of light of the second wavelength band. Light is selectively focused from the first and second sources by an optical arrangement and imaging devices produce respective images of a portion of the retina illuminated with the respective wavelength bands. The images obtained by the imaging device are processed by the imaging device and processor to determine a retinal metabolic image based on haemoglobin oxygenation. In an embodiment of the invention light is scanned across the retina.Type: GrantFiled: April 3, 2002Date of Patent: November 14, 2006Inventors: Patrick Kerr, Jonathan Watts

Publication number: 20060003868Abstract: The present invention provides for a variable stride exercise device having a variable size close curved striding path during use. The exercise device described and depicted herein utilizes various configurations of linkage assemblies, cam members, and other components, connected with a frame to allow a user to dynamically vary his stride path during exercise. An exercise device conforming to aspects of the present invention provides a foot path that adapts to the change in stride length rather than forcing the user into a fixed size path. Some embodiments of the exercise device include a lockout device that selectively eliminates the variable stride features of the exercise device and allows the user to exercise in a stepping motion. Other aspects of the present invention relate to a releasable connection mechanism that can be used to selectively and/or automatically limit or eliminate the variable stride feature of an exercise device.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 21, 2005Publication date: January 5, 2006Applicant: Nautilus, Inc.Inventors: Andrew Lull, Keith Weier, Zachary Krapfl, Chester Kowalewski, Jonathan Watt

An exercise device conforming to aspects of the present invention provides a foot path that adapts to the change in stride length rather than forcing the user into a fixed size path. A user's exertion level may have several components impacting the stride length provided by the machine, such as leg power, torso power, and (in embodiments with arm supports or exercise components) arm power. Other embodiments of the exercise device include a lockout device that selectively eliminates the variable stride features of the exercise device and allows the user to exercise in a stepping motion.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 21, 2005Publication date: September 15, 2005Applicant: Nautilus, Inc.Inventors: Andrew Lull, Zachary Krapfl, Chester Kowalewski, Jonathan Watt
