Abstract: An exercise apparatus having: a frame having a vertical support; at least one articulating arm mount affixed to the vertical support; a first articulating arm connected to the at least one articulating arm mount; a second articulating arm connected to the at least one articulating arm mount, the second articulating arm adapted to independently articulate from the first articulating arm; a pair of resistive elements, each resistive element operatively connected to one of the first and second independently articulating arms to provide resistance; and a cable and pulley system connecting each resistive element to a point on a longitudinal axis of one of the first and second articulating arms.

Abstract: The present invention is an improved windshield wiper assembly. The assembly includes a wiper blade which undergoes oscillatory rotary motion and is swept back and forth between two extreme locations across a windshield to remove rain and other precipitation from the windshield. A brushless DC motor has its output shaft connected to the wiper assembly. The foregoing results in rotary oscillation of the blade and permits the elimination of the four-bar mechanism which is typical of prior art wiper assemblies. The rotary motion of the blade in either direction is decelerated when the blade reaches a preselected position between two extreme locations.
