Apparatus, System, And Method For Carrying Out Protocol-Based Isometric Exercise Regimens

US Patent:

5904639, May 18, 1999

Filed:

Mar 6, 1998

Appl. No.:

9/036051

Inventors:

Michael A. Smyser - Galena OH
David W. Ferguson - Pickerington OH

Assignee:

MD Systems - Westerville OH

International Classification:

A61B5/103

US Classification:

482 91

Abstract:

A protocol-configurable isometric hand grip recording dynamometer with user guidance. The apparatus employs a grip within which is mounted a load cell. The load cell, in turn, is coupled to a rigid printed circuit board which is compressively squeezed during an exercise regimen. A readout is integrally formed with the battery operated system to provide aural and visual cuing at an angle facilitating the user's reading of a display. Visual cues are provided at the display throughout an exercise regimen prompting the user as to which hand to use and the amount of compressive squeezing force to be applied. The system and method includes a technique for scoring the efforts of the user. The microprocessor-driven device includes archival memory and a data communications port such that may be employed interactively with a trainer or physician.

Automatic Waypoint Area Navigation System

US Patent:

4413322, Nov 1, 1983

Filed:

Dec 17, 1980

Appl. No.:

6/217417

Inventors:

George B. Foster - Worthington OH
Paul D. Gibbs - Blacklick OH
Michael A. Smyser - Galena OH

Assignee:

Foster Airdata Systems Inc. - Columbus OH

International Classification:

G06F 1550

US Classification:

364448

Abstract:

An area navigation device automatically establishes waypoints along an RNAV course line intersecting with the four cardinal radials of VORTAC stations. For a given VORTAC station, the pilot selects any of the four cardinal radials and is automatically provided with the distance from the VORTAC station, along that cardinal radial, as the intersection with his selected RNAV course line. Thus, a pilot can quickly sequence through the cardinal radials and quickly ascertain the availability of waypoints along that radial. After an automatically generated cardinal waypoint is selected, it is automatically entered into memory dedicated to that waypoint for later recall and conventional use in area navigation.

Isometric System, Method And Apparatus

US Patent:

6962569, Nov 8, 2005

Filed:

Oct 10, 2002

Appl. No.:

10/268363

Inventors:

Michael A. Smyser - Galena OH, US
Ronald L. Wiley - Oxford OH, US
Thomas L. Harris - Powell OH, US

Assignee:

MD Systems, Inc. - Westerville OH

International Classification:

A61B005/103, A61B005/117

US Classification:

600595

Abstract:

System, method and apparatus for carrying out isometric exercises for either diagnostic purposes or therapeutic purposes. When employed in a diagnostic mode, the instrument is programmed to carry out standardized diagnostic regimens and during such regimens provides both visual and aural cues, carries out mathematical computations of force values and provides recordation of diagnostic data in archival memory. When employed in a therapeutic mode the apparatus may only be programmed within mandated therapeutic parameter limitations. During therapeutic trials, the user is visually and aurally cued throughout the test sequence and the therapeutic data evolved during the regimen is recorded and recoverable from archival memory.

Isometric System, Method And Apparatus For Isometric Exercise

US Patent:

7448265, Nov 11, 2008

Filed:

Aug 15, 2005

Appl. No.:

11/204001

Inventors:

Michael A. Smyser - Galena OH, US
Ronald L. Wiley - Oxford OH, US
Thomas L. Harris - Powell OH, US

Assignee:

MD Systems, Inc. - Westerville OH

International Classification:

A61B 1/24

US Classification:

7337902

Abstract:

System, method and apparatus for carrying out isometric exercises for therapeutic purposes. As employed in a therapeutic mode the apparatus may only be programmed within mandated therapeutic parameter limitations. During therapeutic trials, the user is visually and aurally cued throughout the test sequence and the therapeutic data evolved during the regimen is recorded and recoverable from archival memory. Particular target force modes can be selected to allow stimulation of nitric oxide release, and modulation of serum lipid composition.
