Disclosed herein are robust disposable alternating tangential flow (ATF) housing and diaphragm pump units and associated methods of manufacturing, testing, wetting, and using the same.

An information related to the position of an actuator coupled to a cable which is coupled to a motor is received. A filter is used to provide an input to a motor controller coupled to the motor, to adjust torque on the motor such that a strength curve is implemented relative to the position of the actuator.

A jump training apparatus and method designed to allow athletes to perform sets of standing vertical jumps. The apparatus is comprised of a mount, a T-tube, a notched post, and a plurality of vertically hanging rotational vanes of varying lengths. Each rotational vane has a longitudinal member with a planar surface. Each rotational vane has a cylindrical opening with a stop member. The plurality of rotational vanes are placed over the notched post by aligning the stop member with a channel cut in the notched post. When the stop member contacts the edges of the channel, it causes the rotational member to stop rotating. A central bump in the channel further inhibits motion.

Assisted racking of digital resistance includes detecting a state of a cable. A motor is mechanically coupled to the cable to provide resistance during an exercise by tensioning the cable. It further includes determining completion of the exercise based at least in part on the detected state of the cable. It further includes selectively removing resistance from the cable based at least in part on the determination that the user has completed the exercise.

The second exercise machine comprises a cable coupled to the motor via the lockable translatable mount. The second exercise machine comprises a sensor coupled to the lockable translatable mount, wherein the sensor is used at least in part to determine mount lock state.

A third exercise machine is disclosed. The third exercise machine comprises a motor. The third exercise machine comprises a mount. The third exercise machine comprises a cable coupled to the motor via the mount. The third exercise machine comprises a sensor coupled to the mount, wherein the sensor is used at least in part to determine mount lock state. The third exercise machine comprises a lockable arm coupled to the mount and a second sensor coupled to the lockable arm, wherein the second sensor is used at least in part to determine arm angle.

The present disclosure provides training systems and apparatus for working out. The training system includes a pivotal bracket and a workout bar. The pivotal bracket includes a first portion and a second portion pivotally coupled to the first portion. The first portion is couplable to a support surface. The workout bar is coupled to the second portion of the pivotal bracket. The workout bar includes a cylindrical weight receiving portion positioned distal relative to the second portion of the pivotal bracket and a rectangular intermediate portion positioned between the second portion of the pivotal bracket and the cylindrical weight receiving portion. The weight bar may include a plurality of pairs of holes spaced apart along a length of the bar for receiving various attachment members for performing landmine workout movements. The training system may include other support structures to which the pivotal bracket is connected.

Sensor data is collected from a sensor monitoring a tension generating device of an exercise machine. The sensor data is analyzed to determine whether the sensor data is within a specification. In the event the sensor data is not within a specification, an error stop mode is entered for the tension generating device.

A tensile strength training device having a handheld housing with a curved electronic display panel defining a housing channel and with a left side panel and a right side panel each flanking and coupled to the curved electronic display panel, each with a sidewall defining a concave cavity, two opposing handle apertures, and two opposing bracket apertures. Left and right U-shaped handle brackets are disposed within the respective wo opposing bracket apertures and coupled to a handle member disposed within the concave cavity thereon for grasping by a user and disposed within the two opposing handle apertures. The device includes a printed circuit board electrically coupled to a power source, a force sensor operably coupled to the left and right U-shaped handle brackets, and operably configured to measure a tensile force applied thereto that is able to be displayed around at least 180° of the curved electronic display panel.

The present invention provides an exercise device (100) for exercising core muscles of a user’s torso. The exercise device comprises a frame (110), configured to be supported by the user and a radially outwardly facing channel (130; FIG. 6), the channel (130) configured to receive a resistance member. The frame defines an aperture (112) configured to receive a torso of the user and the device (100) is configured to provide a resistance force against which the user can exercise when the device (100) is in use. Also claimed is a kit of parts comprising the device (100) and a resistance member, and a method of exercising core muscles of one’s torso.
