Patent EP-0438758-A1 (EP)
Inventor: LAPCEVIC THOMAS G
IPC: A63B21/00
Filed: 1990-12-21
Abstract: The present invention provides a variable resistance exercise device which enables a user to select from an almost limitless set of resistance curves having various shapes and amplitudes. These results are achieved using a baseline fixed resistance and a variable resistance generated by a torque arm assembly. Preferably, the torque arm assembly has a vertical diametric torque arm (72) and two horizontal radial torque arms (79,86) which are perpendicular to the vertical torque arm. By varying the position of a weight member on each of these arms, as well as the ratio of the net horizontal torque and the vertical torque generated by the weight members, the resistance curve that the user experiences can be infinitely varied. Additionally, through the use of a gear assembly (67,68), the user can achieve a force variance during the exercise which is greater than the minimum force experienced during the exercise.

Abstract: A variable reluctance rotation sensor comprises a rotatable magnetic toothed wheel (10) adjacent a fixed magnetic pickup assembly (20). The pickup assembly comprises a pair of permanent magnets (25,26), each with a similar pole adjacent the magnetic toothed wheel and separated circumferentially by the arc between a tooth (11) and a non-adjacent slot (12). A magnetic flux member (30) with an electrical coil (40) joins the other poles of the permanent magnets in series opposed relationship and extends in close proximity to the magnetic toothed wheel to establish separate flux loops for each permanent magnet distributed along the electrical coil. The flux loops are spatially determined by the teeth and slots between the permanent magnets, so that they fluctuate circumferentially and generate an electrical signal in the electrical coil with magnetic toothed wheel rotation by variation of the flux linkages to individual turns of the electrical coil. The sensor thus uses spatial flux changes to produce a rotation signal at very low rotational speeds with a larger air gap than that of conventional sensors.

Abstract: In an x-ray examination apparatus, a film holder is mounted on a frame, which itself is connected to the carrier, notably a C-arm, for the x-ray source and the image intensifier. When not in use, the film holder can be placed in a park position against the inner circumference of the C-arm, such that the film holder neither obscures, nor impedes access to the patient (region). The frame with the film holder can be rotated to a standby position next to the image intensifier, such that the film holder can be conveniently reached for preparation for exposure. Finally, the film holder can be rotated with respect to the frame into an exposure position in front of the image intensifier. 
     The C-arm remains balanced for all three positions of the film holder; this is achieved by two counterweights that move along the outer circumference of the C-arm, just under its outer enclosure. Consequently, the C-arm can be moved manually without considerable effort. Because in its park position the film holder does not protrude beyond the outer circumference of the C-arm, the motion of the C-arm is not restricted by the film holder.
