Abstract: An elliptical exercise device has guide links pivotally attached to a frame and foot support links pivotally attached to the guide links. Horizontal control links couple the guide links to a crank system and vertical control links couple the foot support links to the crank system such that rotation of the crank system moves foot receiving areas in a generally elliptical path.

Abstract: An elliptical exercise device has a frame supporting guide links and foot support links. A cam system has a horizontal control cam portion with a first and second offset horizontal drive portion. Horizontal control followers are pivotally connected to a horizontal follower support and each has a control portion and a cam engagement portion engaging a horizontal drive portion. Horizontal control couplings couple the guide links to the control portions of the horizontal control followers. A vertical drive system is coupled to the foot support links. A foot receiving area of each foot support link moves in a generally elliptical path when the cam portion rotates about the cam axis.

Abstract: An adaptive exercise device provides for a foot motion in which the vertical component of the path of foot travel is mechanically decoupled from the fore-aft component of the path of foot travel so that a user may selectably control the ratio of these two components during the use of the device. The adaptive exercise device includes foot links which are supported on a track for motion therealong. The links are mechanically interconnected so that when a first link moves in a first direction along the track, the second link moves in an equal and opposite direction. The apparatus further includes a vertical motion control system which raises and lowers portions of each of the foot links along a vertical path of travel independent of their position along the track.

Abstract: An exercise device providing a running and stepping foot action is configured to have an adjustable stride length which may be varied and reconfigured by a user while the device is in operation. The device effectively decouples the horizontal and vertical paths of travel of a user's foot. In this regard, the device includes a foot link which moves in a substantially horizontal path of travel under the control of a reciprocating link which engages a portion of the foot link. A control link engages another portion of the foot link and moves it in a substantially vertical direction under control of a crank assembly.

Abstract: A compound bow includes a first and second pulley, each of which is operative, when the bow is drawn, to unwind a portion of a bow string from a bow string groove and to take up a portion of a bow cable so as to decrease its effective length. At least one of the pulleys includes a cable controller which operates to modify the rate at which the effective length of the bow cable is decreasing so that during an initial portion of the draw of the bow, the rate is greater than it would be in the absence of the controller, and during a second portion of the draw, the rate is less than it would be in the absence of the controller. Use of the controller provides a bow which has an inherently balanced draw.

Abstract: A control system is operable to selectably activate shock damping devices associated with a bicycle so as to eliminate bobbing encountered under extreme pedaling conditions. The system includes a crank axle torque detector which operates to detect a level of torque applied to a crank axle and provide a control signal corresponding to the level of torque. A shock damping device is coupled to the frame of the cycle, and functions to absorb and dampen mechanical shocks communicated to the frame. The shock damping device includes an activator for controlling its damping function. The activator is operable to receive the control signal from the crank axle torque detector and control the shock damping device in response thereto. The control signal may be an electrical or a mechanical signal.

Abstract: A compact, elliptical exercise device includes a pair of primary foot links, and a pair of corresponding auxiliary foot links. A first end of each primary foot link is coupled to a pivot axis so as to move in an arcuate path. A second end of each primary foot link is connected to a guide assembly, which constrains it to travel in a reciprocal path of motion. A first end of each auxiliary foot link is coupled to the guide assembly at a connection point spaced from an engagement point at which its respective primary link is connected. Each auxiliary link is slidably supported by a respective one of its primary foot links so that a second end of each auxiliary foot link will travel in a reciprocal path along the primary foot link.

Abstract: A method for varying the damping force of a hydraulic damper in a vehicular suspension system includes rotatably fixing a reciprocable piston slidably mounted in a fluid-filled cylinder to the vehicular body and rotatably fixing the cylinder to a steerable wheel assembly. A variable flow fluid bypass is provided between upper and lower chambers of the cylinder. As the wheel assembly is steered, the bypass is opened and closed to vary fluid flow between the chambers and thus vary the damping force of the damper.
