Introduction
Olgerts J Svilans is an accomplished inventor based in Chicago, IL. He holds a total of 3 patents that showcase his contributions to technology and fitness. His work primarily focuses on health monitoring and exercise equipment.
Latest Patents
One of his latest patents is an "Apparatus and method for measuring heart rate." This invention includes a sensor that generates a signal containing the biopotential signal produced by the heart. The signal is then filtered, amplified, and digitized. A microcomputer autocorrelates the digitized signal, and various signal indication routines scan the autocorrelated output for periodic signals. Each routine employs different search criteria, such as peak and waveform detection, to generate candidate heart rates. An arbitrator selects the most accurate heart rate based on predetermined criteria, including previously selected heart rates.
Another significant patent is for a "Motor control for an exercise machine simulating a weight stack." This invention enhances the realism and stability of exercise machines by compensating the motor's torque output for the mechanical characteristics of the machine. It accounts for inertia, friction, and gravitational effects on the user interface. The motor's output torque is controlled to increase as a function of the user interface's displacement, allowing for a measure of the user's strength. The exercise machine also features a computer control that implements a pyramid-type exercise program, which includes progressive, plateau, and regressive phases.
