  • Patent number: 12440721
    Abstract: A training apparatus having a progress indicator and unified base for different apparatus types, such as for an ergometer, speed bike, recumbent bike, home training bike, rowing apparatus, elliptical trainer, cross-trainer or treadmill. The fitness apparatus of every apparatus type is based on a structure which is unified in terms of technical design, according to which the frame or pedestal of the fitness apparatus has rollers which are arranged on the frame or pedestal such that a tilt-stable positioning of the frame with respect to the subsurface and a longitudinal displacement of the frame or of the frame together with the pedestal relative to the subsurface is enabled by means of an actuator depending on the measure of success of the user training.

  • Patent number: 8790985
    Abstract: The disclosed invention provides a structure and method for providing a high lateral voltage resistance between the electrical networks, sharing a lateral plane, of conductive elements (e.g., having different high voltage potentials) comprising a coupler. In one embodiment, an integrated coupler providing a high lateral voltage resistance comprises a primary conductive element and a secondary conductive element. An isolating material is laterally configured between the electrical network of the primary conductive element and an electrical network of the secondary conductive element. The isolating material may comprise a low-k dielectric layer and prevents any lateral barrier layers (e.g., etch stop layers, diffusion barrier layers, etc.) from extending between the first conductive element and the electrical network of the second conductive element. The structure therefore provides a galvanically isolated integrated coupler which avoids electrical shorting between circuits (e.g.
