Abstract: An exercise system includes a platform, a first stopper, and a second stopper. The platform includes a first vertically oriented motor and a second vertically oriented motor. The first vertically oriented motor is associated with a first cable and the second vertically oriented motor is associated with a second cable. The platform includes a front raised housing portion for the first vertically oriented motor and the second vertically oriented motor and a lower exercise portion on which a user utilizes the exercise machine to perform one or more different exercises. The first stopper is coupled to the first cable at a first attachment point. The second stopper is coupled to the second cable at a second attachment point.

Abstract: A safety signal is sent to a relay coupled to a plurality of power leads of a motor wherein a default state of the relay is to short the plurality of power leads together and wherein the safety signal maintains the relay in an open state. The safety signal to the relay is deasserted in response to a determination that an unsafe condition has occurred.

Abstract: An exercise system includes a platform and a frame. The platform includes a first vertically oriented motor and a second vertically oriented motor. The first vertically oriented motor is associated with a first cable and the second vertically oriented motor is associated with a second cable. The frame includes a first adjustable attachment point and a second adjustable attachment point. The first cable is coupled to the first adjustable attachment point and the second cable is coupled to the second adjustable attachment point. The platform is located at a bottom portion of the frame.

Abstract: A strength training machine includes a first motor oriented at a first angle relative to a chassis. It further includes a second motor oriented at a second angle relative to the chassis. The first and second angles skew the motors with respect to each other.

Abstract: A safety signal is sent to a relay coupled to a plurality of power leads of a motor wherein a default state of the relay is to short the plurality of power leads together and wherein the safety signal maintains the relay in an open state.

Abstract: A controllable tension force is provided on a first cable. The first cable has a terminal end wherein the terminal end is adapted to attach to an accessory. The first cable is coupled to a motor. The first cable and motor are part of a resistance unit. The resistance unit is coupled to a user support unit having a sliding seat.

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.

Abstract: An exercise machine is disclosed. A vertically oriented console unit comprises: a first cable; a screen; and a motor providing a controllable tension force on the first cable. An auxiliary pulley that is remote from the console unit is disclosed, wherein the first cable is routable over the auxiliary pulley that is remote from the console unit. An exercise machine is disclosed. A resistance unit comprises: a first cable; and a motor providing a controllable tension force on a first cable. An adjustable screen unit is disclosed, wherein the adjustable screen unit is at least one of tiltable, rotatable, and translatable.

Abstract: An exercise system includes an exercise platform comprising an internal motor coupled to a cable exiting the exercise platform via a portal in an exit direction to transmit force to a remote handle. It further includes an auxiliary pulley external to the exercise platform that redirects the cable from the exit direction to facilitate a direction of an exercise motion.
