Abstract:
A method for treating a weak viewer-eye includes the steps of receiving eye-strength data indicative of an eye-strength of the weak viewer-eye and causing a 3D display system to vary, in accordance with the eye-strength of the weak viewer-eye, display characteristics of a perspective that the 3D display system displays.
Abstract:
The Squirt Watch is a wrist watch like device worn by a woman's partner giving as said partner feedback on correct G-force and frequency of said partners wrist h and and finger motion while palpating the G-spot in order to help achieve a female squirting orgasm on the woman. The present invention relates to both a system and associated software. This new device gives real time feedback to the proper speed and G-force of the wearer's hand and finger motion compared to a known G-force and frequency which gives women a squirting orgasm. This is achieved by measuring the G-force and speed in real time through the use of an accelerometer and microcontroller. The current feedback uses LED's red yellow green for optimum to show the wearer when they are getting to the correct speed and G-force of locked finger motion in the woman.
Abstract:
A device and method coupled to a therapy garment to apply pressure and repetitive compression forces to a body of a person has an air pulsator and a user programmable time, frequency and pressure controller operable to regulate the duration of operation, frequency of the air pulses and a selected air pressure applied to the body of a person.
Abstract:
A therapeutic mat is described. The mat provides therapeutic relief in the form of vibratory motion and/or heat. The mat or pad is particularly useful as a floor mat in a vehicle. The mat includes provisions to enable powering the mat from a 12-volt direct current source, such as used in an automobile or other vehicle. A massage module can be removed from the mat to facilitate cleaning of the mat. The mat may also include one or more upwardly extending provisions for massaging the arch region of a user's feet. Also described are illuminated mats. The lights of a mat can operate based upon the operation of another mat, pulsations of the massage module, or based upon acoustic levels in the vehicle.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a device for controlling a physical therapy device adapted for accepting external commands, comprising: a. a moveable portion of substantially the same shape and dimensions as that portion of said physical therapy device that is adapted for interacting with at least one part of the body of a patient; b. a base; c. a motion manipulation portion d. conversion means for converting said stored time-dependent output signals to a series of command signals; and, e. means for transmitting said command signals to said physical therapy device; wherein a series of command signals are produced by the movement of said moveable portion, which, when transmitted to said physical therapy apparatus, will cause said physical therapy apparatus to undergo a series of motions substantially identical to those of said moveable portion.
Abstract:
A resuscitation system for use in resuscitation of cardiac arrest victims includes an ECG monitor programmed to monitor an organized, non-shockable rhythm of an electrocardiogram (ECG) signal from a patient undergoing lifesaving cardiac care; a processor programmed to identify a time during an electrocardiographic cycle of the ECG signal during which a vulnerable period for risk of fibrillation induction of the ECG will occur; and control circuitry for generating signals to cause a parameter descriptive of chest compressions to be modified so as to minimize risk of induction of fibrillation during the vulnerable period.
Abstract:
A manipulation device is programmable with different parameters associated with different manipulation exercises for different types of simulated patients. A measuring system determines the success or failure for any of the programmable manipulation exercises and tracks specific results that precisely track how close a student comes to specific target force values. This allows a student to more accurately track performance improvements and more effectively focus practice sessions on problem manipulation techniques. The measurement system not only measures the time and force values associated with the manipulation exercises but also measures angular displacement of the manipulation apparatus during the manipulation exercise. This allows the student to not only determine if a proper amount of force was applied during the manipulation exercise but also to determine if the force was maintained in the same direction and angle.
Abstract:
There is provided a machine for rehabilitation or exercise, comprising: a frame; a first arm movably secured to the frame via a first actuator; a first force sensor for measuring a force exerted by a user on the first arm; and a control unit adapted for controlling a displacement speed for the first arm via the first actuator as a function of the force and for increasing the displacement speed of the first arm via the first actuator when the force is superior to a target force. In one embodiment, there is further provided an electromyograph for location on the exercised muscle for measuring an electrical potential generated by the muscle and for lowering the target force when the electrical potential is superior to a predetermined maximum electrical potential. There is further provided a method for operating an exercise machine and a system for exercising a muscle.
Abstract:
A body-weight support system that allows individuals with severe gait impairments to practice over-ground walking in a safe, controlled manner is disclosed. The system includes a body-weight support system that rides along a driven trolley and can be controlled in response to the movement of the subject using the system.
Abstract:
A system capable of controlling an autonomous walking assist rhythm, while following changes in a walking rhythm of a walker at the same time. A control system 100 in accordance with the present invention generates a first oscillator x that tugs and is tugged by a walking oscillator (hip joint angular velocity) φH′ such that an intrinsic angular velocity is reflected. Then, a new intrinsic angular velocity ωm is determined on the basis of the difference between a first phase difference θHM between the first oscillator x and the walking oscillator φH′ and a desired phase difference θd. Furthermore, a second oscillator y is generated that tugs and is tugged by the walking oscillator φH′ such that the intrinsic angular velocity ωm is reflected, and has a second phase difference θhm, which is closer to the desired phase difference θd than the first phase difference θHM is, with respect to the walking oscillator φH′. Then, based on the second oscillator y and the walking oscillator (hip joint angle) φH, a walking assist oscillator (torque imparted to the walker by a walking assist unit 200) T is generated.
