  • Patent number: 9789346
    Abstract: A handstand pushup device has a central body portion that includes a padded cushion, and two handplates, positioned laterally on opposite sides of the central body portion. Each of the handplates has a flat upper surface that is slip resistant. Two elongate blocks are also provided, each of the elongate blocks having a bottom surface and an inner surface. The bottom surface interlocks with the one of the handplates for removably mounting the elongate block on the handplate. The inner surface of the elongate blocks limits the placement of a user's hands while performing handstand pushups using the device, so that the user's hands are not placed too far apart when performing the handstand pushups.

  • Patent number: 8624601
    Abstract: System and methods are provided for monitoring a state of a switch element connecting a DC power supply to a load. A system includes a transformer having first and second windings, where a first end of the second winding electrically coupled to a first switch node of the switch element. The system also includes a transmit circuit configured for providing a waveform at the first winding and a sensor element having galvanically isolated input and output nodes for inducing a monitor signal at the output nodes in response to a signal at the input nodes. The system further includes a receive circuit coupled to the output nodes and configured for generating one or more output signals in response to the monitor signal. The system also includes capacitor elements for providing DC isolation for the second winding with respect to the first switch node and the sensor element.
