  • Patent number: 7463836
    Abstract: A printing device (10) such as a laser printer includes a fuser assembly (200) with a fuser wiper (210) that can be removed and replaced by a user during normal maintenance to extend the useful life of the fuser assembly (200). Indicators (b0, b1) stored in a memory device (144) can be read by a print engine (36) of a printer (10) either when a print cartridge (100) is first inserted into the printer (10) or at specified times thereafter. Depending on the contents of the memory device (144), the print engine (36) may send a notification message to the printer's raster image processor (150) to cause a message to be displayed on the printer's operational/display panel (254) that informs a user the fuser wiper (210) should be replaced.

  • Publication number: 20070010382
    Abstract: An exercise apparatus includes a floor engaging base, a vertical stanchion, and at least one body support. Cables are interconnected between respective handles and respective pivot arms. At least one resistance device is interconnected between the pivot arms and the frame. The cables are routed about pulleys on the frame in a manner that facilitates different types of exercise motions. Adjustments to resistance may be made by repositioning at least one of the cables and the resistance device relative to the pivot arms.

  • Publication number: 20060252613
    Abstract: An exercise machine includes a dual fulcrum articulated force lever connected to a machine frame. The articulated force lever includes a first force arm and a second force arm. A fixed end of the second force arm is pivotally connected to the frame at a first fulcrum. A movable end of the second force arm is pivotally connected to a first end of the first force arm for pivoting of the first force arm about a second fulcrum. A resistance load is attached intermediately to the first force arm. A handle section is connected to the first end of the first force arm opposite the pivot connection to the second force arm. Movement of the handle section in one direction rotates the first force arm and the second force arm together about the first fulcrum against the load. Movement of the handle section in an opposite direction rotates the first force arm about the second fulcrum against the load. In one embodiment the resistance load is provided at least in part by the body weight of the exercising person.

  • Publication number: 20050239616
    Abstract: An abdominal exercise device comprising a semi-rigid member, an upper member and a lower member is disclosed. The upper member and the lower member couple to the semi-rigid member, the upper member and lower member can be securely or detachably attachable to the semi-rigid member while the lower member can have pivoting capabilities. Feedback may be provided in a visual as well as a physical form to allow a user to determine whether the device is properly being used and optimal results are being achieved while performing the exercises.

  • Patent number: 6932749
    Abstract: The present invention provides a means of exercising wherein the gross body movements of the body during exercise are Kinesiologically Correct, meaning they are governed by the specific forces, specific physiology and specific mechanics according to the natural movements of the body when effected by gravity. The body is supported during the body weight resistive exercise in such a way that the body is maintained in a position the body naturally tends toward when unassisted during a body weight resistive exercise accomplished by the way in which the user interfaces with the machine. In performing assistive exercises, wherein the weight of the user's body is made lighter, the user's body is being pushed upon by the guide arm of the machine while force is being applied to the guide arm through a bi-direction force transferring means.
