16 Apr 2004TL;DR: In this article, a marine propulsion system uses a cone clutch in such a way that, when in a forward gear position, torque is transmitted from an input shaft or driving shaft, to an output shaft, or driven shaft, solely through the cone clutch.
Abstract: A transmission for a marine propulsion system uses a cone clutch in such a way that, when in a forward gear position, torque is transmitted from an input shaft, or driving shaft, to an output shaft, or driven shaft, solely through the cone clutch. When in forward gear position, driving torque between the driving and driven shafts is not transmitted through any gear teeth. When in reverse gear position, torque is transmitted through an assembly of the bevel gears.

13 May 1998TL;DR: In this article, a synchronized gear shift mechanism for a marine propulsion system is described, which uses a hub and a sleeve that are axially movable relative to an output shaft but rotationally fixed to the shaft and to each other.
Abstract: A synchronized gear shift mechanism is provided for a marine propulsion system. Using a hub and a sleeve that are axially movable relative to an output shaft but rotationally fixed to the shaft and to each other, the gear shift mechanism uses associated friction surfaces to bring the output shaft up to a speed that is synchronism with the selected forward or reverse gear prior to mating associated gear tooth surfaces together to transmit torque from an input shaft to an output shaft. The friction surfaces on the forward and reverse gears can be replaceable to facilitate repair after the friction surfaces experience wear.

17 Mar 2000TL;DR: In this paper, a control system for a marine vessel incorporates a marine propulsion system that can be attached to a vessel and connected in signal communication with a serial communication bus and a controller.
Abstract: A control system for a marine vessel incorporates a marine propulsion system that can be attached to a marine vessel and connected in signal communication with a serial communication bus and a controller. A plurality of input devices and output devices are also connected in signal communication with the communication bus and a bus access manager, such as a CAN Kingdom network, is connected in signal communication with the controller to regulate the incorporation of additional devices to the plurality of devices in signal communication with the bus whereby the controller is connected in signal communication with each of the plurality of devices on the communication bus. The input and output devices can each transmit messages to the serial communication bus for receipt by other devices.

27 Jan 1993TL;DR: A physical exercise video system includes a physical exercise machine (22), a video system (24), and an interface module (26) as mentioned in this paper, which can be selectively operated as either stand-alone units, or in an interactive exercise mode, where the exercise data generated by the exercise machine affects the output of the video system and may also be stored in memory within the interface module.
Abstract: A physical exercise video system includes a physical exercise machine (22), a video system (24) and an interface module (26). The video system (24) has a computer (28) and a removable cartridge (34). The interface module (26) is interposed between the computer (28) and cartridge (34), and provides interactive communication between the computer (28) and exercise machine (22). A communication protocol governs this communication, and includes specifications for status and command data packets. The video system (24) and exercise machine (22) can be selectively operated as either stand-alone units, or in an interactive exercise mode, wherein the exercise data generated by the exercise machine (22) affects the output of the video system (24), and may also be stored in memory within the interface module (26). The video system (24) controls the operation of the exercise machine (22) generally, and specifically, controls the load resistance imposed in opposition to the movement of pedals (66). The control of load resistance by video system (24) is a function of the operating characteristics of the exercise machine (22).

07 Sep 2000TL;DR: In this paper, a microprocessor based exercise treadmill control system is disclosed which includes various features to enhance user operation, such as the ability to design custom workouts, switch between workout programs while the treadmill is in operation, and perform an automatic cooldown program where the duration of the cooldown is a function of the length of the workout or user's heart rate.
Abstract: A microprocessor based exercise treadmill control system is disclosed which includes various features to enhance user operation. These features include programs operative to: permit a set of user controls to cause the treadmill to initially operate at predetermined speeds; permit the user to design custom workouts; permit the user to switch between workout programs while the treadmill is in operation; and perform an automatic cooldown program where the duration of the cooldown is a function of the duration of the workout or the user's heart rate. The features also include a stop program responsive to a detector for automatically stopping the treadmill when a user is no longer on the treadmill and a frame tag module attached to the treadmill frame having a non-volatile memory for storing treadmill configuration, and operational and maintenance data. Another included feature is the ability to display the amount of time a user spends in a heart rate zone.
