  • Patent number: 12109456
    Abstract: An exercise machine includes a first housing, a central electromagnetic resistance unit, a resistance mechanical interface, and a mechanical expansion portion. The resistance mechanical interface includes a spool and a cable configured to provide a force from the central electromagnetic resistance unit in response to a control interface that receives commands from an exercise actuator. The cable extends out from a first side of the first housing. The mechanical expansion port is configured to link the first housing to a second housing via a mechanical attachment. The mechanical expansion port is located at a second side of the first housing. The second side of the first housing is adjacent to the first side of the first housing.

  • Patent number: 11511159
    Abstract: A request is received for a higher torque from a torque controller than is possible from a power supply. The torque controller is coupled to a motor and the power supply, and the motor is coupled to an actuator. The actuator ultimately establishes resistance for a user in an exercise. An energy storage device is discharged to the motor in order to generate the higher torque, wherein the energy storage device is indirectly coupled to the torque controller.
