Abstract:
A massage bathing maintenance system suitable for a massage bathing equipment is provided. The system comprises at least one attached device, at least one slave control device, a master control device, and an analyzing unit. The at least one attached device is configured to actuate with regard to the massage bathing equipment. The at least one slave control device comprises a control unit configured to generate and transmit at least one actuating message according to at least one actuating-status of the at least one attached device. The master control device comprise a log-collecting unit configured to record the at least one actuating message of the at least one slave control device into a logs table. The analyzing unit is configured to analyze the at least one actuating message of the logs table so as to determine whether the actuation of at least one attached device is abnormal.
Abstract:
An electromagnetic anti-tipping device uses electromagnets to steady users and prevent falls by persons with impaired mobility and balance. The device's steadying effect is accomplished by magnetically attracting the legs and/or wheels of balance and mobility assisting apparatus (“balance and mobility aid(s)”) to a stationary surface such as a floor which is made of or covered with a magnetically responsive material. In one embodiment, the device's electromagnet attraction to the floor or other stationary surface is actuated when the operator of the device triggers the device's mechanism or sensor by grip or touch. Once actuated, and until deactivation by the user, the device's electromagnet(s) secure the legs or wheels of the balance and mobility aid to the magnetically responsive floor or other stationary surface. The electromagnets are battery-powered.
Abstract:
An apparatus and a method for a walking aid are disclosed. The walking aid includes a walker having a frame configured to extend about a user of the walker to at least partially support the user and to facilitate the user progressing along a path from a current step to a next step while at least partially supported by the walker. A swivel mount is supported by the frame. A light source is connected to the swivel mount. The light source is configured to project a visual cue on a projection surface in the path between the current step and the next step to trigger the next step by the user. A controller is configured to adjust a visual property of the visual cue for use under indoor conditions and outdoor conditions.
Abstract:
The invention is a manual CPR or CCC continuous chest compression assist device for use on a person suffering cardiac arrest. The assist device has a compressible body structure and an audible signal element, visual signal assembly or both. The audio signal element is interposed in the body structure to announce or generate an audible sound or “click” at a predetermined deflection of the compressible portions. The visual signal assembly is interposed in the body structure to announce or generate a visible light at a predetermined deflection of the compressible portions. The activation of the visual or audio signal corresponds to a predetermined deflection of the compressible portions pressing against the breastbone and alerts the person administering to initiate decompressing to relax the body structure for the next compression, upon relaxation the device decompresses and a second audible or visual signal or both indicates a reset of the device.
Abstract:
Systems and methods for interactive treatments of female sexual disorders are presented. A programmable sexual stimulation device is provided, which transmits and receives data relating to the use and function of the device. The sexual stimulation device may be programmed to implement a particular combination of mechanical actions which have been customized by a user or a health care professional involved in the treatment or preference of the user. The device may also collect data on the type of mechanical actions input by the user and transmit the data to a remote location for viewing by the user or the healthcare professional. The device may also communicate with external devices which aid in the treatment programs, such as audio or image display devices which can coordinate the function of the sexual stimulation device with the presentation of audio or visual information to provide additional sources of sexual arousal to the user.
Abstract:
Systems and methods are provided for controlling infrared radiation (IR) sources of a sauna including tuning IR wavelength-ranges and radiated power-levels of IR sources, and directing IR to locations on a user's body. In one illustrative embodiment, a sauna may be provided having adjustable heat sources to emit IR at any wavelength resulting in a desirable radiation treatment for the sauna user. In another illustrative embodiment, a method is provided for tuning IR sources in a sauna.
Abstract:
An adjustable-length walking aid provides a hollow tubular body having a top and a bottom. A spring-biased gripper arm at the bottom is connected to a tension gripper actuator filament that is spooled around a flywheel spool. A lamp housed in the base of the body is connected to a power supply in the handle by a conductive filament that is also spooled around the flywheel. The tension on the gripper actuator and conductive filaments is maintained by the flywheel regardless of the length to which the cane is adjusted.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a vibration module for skin massage having minimized volume and thickness and securing flexibility by which a PCB on which a vibrator and a drive of the vibrator, a controller are mounted and a battery are integrally attached to a supporting plate, for transmitting vibration to human skin relatively wide can be transmitted to the human skin, and having improved mobility. The vibration module includes a PCB; a vibrator installed on the PCB; a drive providing vibration force; a controller controlling the drive; a battery supplying the electric power to the drive and the controller; a supporting plate connecting the printed circuit board to the battery; a power connecting member electrically connecting power terminals of the battery to power terminals of the drive; and an insulator to allow contact between the power terminals and the power connecting member at the separation from the battery.
Abstract:
An illuminated walking cane including a handle, a pole, and a rubber tab on the distal end of the pole. The handle includes a compartment for at least one battery connected through an electric circuit to a plurality of luminous sources. The luminous sources are placed in different heights on the inside of the cane. The cane also contains a series of tubular extended pieces that enlarge and shorten by fitting one into the other, in telescopic action. An automatic trigger mechanism allows the cane to be both retractile and protractile.
