  • Patent number: 12623109
    Abstract: A velocity of a user when performing repetitions of an exercise movement on an actuator is monitored. Based at least in part on an evaluation of the monitored velocity, it is determined that the user is within a range of proximity away from failure. In response to determining that the user is within the range of proximity away from failure: torque requested of a motor is dynamically adjusted to drop resistance to maintain the user within the range of proximity away from failure. In one embodiment, the motor provides resistance to the actuator. In one embodiment, the actuator is coupled to the motor.

  • Patent number: 10343293
    Abstract: A portable enclosure provides a means to protect a user while performing hazardous processes upon a work piece such as grinding, sanding, drilling, painting, chemical washing, and the like. The enclosure provides a portable box-like structure having transparent plastic panels, an open-bottom portion, and a pair of glove ports. The enclosure is intended to be placed over the work piece which is positioned upon a floor surface, thereby allowing performance of hazardous processing without having to move or lift the work piece.

  • Patent number: 7605581
    Abstract: A semiconductor device test assembly includes a heat sink having a surface configured to support a device under test, an inner bellow, an outer bellow at least partially surrounding the inner bellow, and a fluid channel within the inner bellow for providing a fluid to the heat sink. The semiconductor device test assembly can further include an air adjustment unit for adjusting an air pressure in the outer bellow, so as to adjust a contact force between the heat sink and the device under test.

  • Patent number: 7589520
    Abstract: A method for soaking a device in an automated testing system, includes setting a temperature control device to a first temperature, exposing the device to the temperature control device, and driving the temperature control device to a second temperature. The temperature transition rate from the first temperature to the second temperature is derived from a first natural decay rate. The first natural decay rate is based on a first-order thermal response of the device when the device is suspended in free air. The second temperature of the temperature control device is relative to a set point temperature so that when the device is socketed for testing, the temperature of the device settles at the set point temperature.

  • Patent number: 6337692
    Abstract: A color correction system that implements scene-by-scene color manipulation in the primary color domain to color correction regions of a video image isolated in the hue domain using hue, saturation, and luminance qualification. The system may be configured as a number of color correction blocks arranged in series or parallel. Each correction block typically allows a colorist to define up to sixteen non-overlapping hue sectors with associated corrected color values and qualification curves. Each color correction block has two video inputs, a first connected to the output from the previous block, and a second connected to an unprocessed video signal. Each block includes a video multiplexer that operates as a switch allowing the colorist to select either the output of a previous block or the unprocessed video input signal as the input for a given block.
