  • Patent number: 11944822
    Abstract: A space-saving configuration for electronics is disclosed in which at least four circuit boards are arranged to form sides of a five-or-greater sided geometric prism that are perpendicular to a common plane. That is, they are stood up on their sides and connected with flex cable to approximate a cylinder. Each circuit board can include one or more sides with electrical components. The circuit boards make up at least half of the five-or-greater sided geometric prism such that the circuit boards wrap at least halfway around. A common connector on one of the circuit boards can be configured to receive power from an underlying motherboard, and flex cables connecting adjacent circuit boards in series distribute power received from the connector to each of the circuit boards in series.

  • Patent number: 11866133
    Abstract: A marine propulsion device has a powerhead, a driveshaft powered by the powerhead, a lower unit, and a propeller shaft supported in the lower unit and in torque transmitting relationship with the driveshaft. The marine propulsion device also has a steering column through which the driveshaft extends and to which the lower unit is coupled. The steering column is configured to rotate the lower unit with respect to the powerhead. There is a steering housing through which the steering column extends, the steering housing being stationary with respect to the powerhead. A flexible conduit, for example a wiring harness, extends through an aperture in the steering housing and through an aperture in the steering column. The flexible conduit has slack between the steering housing and the steering column.

  • Publication number: 20230001267
    Abstract: A user-specific workout can be generated by adjusting transform parameters of a user-agnostic training profile to conform to a user boundary specifying a user's ability to perform work. The user-agnostic training profile can be defined in a training space, specifying a power curve in a time domain whereas the user boundary can be defined in a boundary space, specifying amounts of user-produced work in a time window size domain. A training boundary can be generated based on the user-agnostic training profile by determining the largest area under the user-agnostic training profile power curve for various time window sizes, where each largest area under the user-agnostic training profile power curve produces a data point for the training boundary for that window size domain value. The training boundary can be transformed based on the user boundary, causing corresponding transformations to the user-agnostics training profile, converting it to a user-specific workout.

  • Publication number: 20220314069
    Abstract: An adaptive training system can determine a finite work capacity and critical power and use those determinations to generate an adaptive training programs for workout parameters. To determining a finite work capacity and critical power, the adaptive training system can receive workout data; generate data points by determining, for each workout, a maximum amount of work done for each of multiple time window sizes; fit these workout data points to a function; and determine a critical power and finite work capacity based on the fitted function. Once the adaptive training system has determined a critical power and finite work capacity, the adaptive training system can use them to generate an adaptive training program by keeping a function defined by a set of workout parameters below an ability function that is based on the critical power and finite work capacity.

  • Patent number: 11339860
    Abstract: A system for adjusting the rotational timing between driveshafts rotated by an output shaft. The system includes a flange coupler configured to be coupled to a first of the driveshafts to prevent rotation therebetween. The flange coupler defines openings therein. A coupler input gear defines openings therein and is configured to rotatably mesh with a second input gear coupled to a second of the driveshafts. Fasteners are configured to the extend through the openings in the flange coupler and the openings in the coupler input gear to rotationally fix the flange coupler and the coupler input gear, which are fixable at multiple rotational orientations therebetween. The rotational timing between the driveshafts is adjustable by rotating the coupler input gear into different orientations of the multiple rotational orientations relative to the flange coupler prior to fixing the flange coupler to the coupler input gear.
