Abstract:
The visual focusing and/or vergence abilities of a subject may be trained and/or tested using apparatuses and methods in accordance with the present invention. The subject may be provided with an apparatus having optical elements having different optical characteristics and instructed to look through an optical element having a first optical characteristic and to focus on an indicia or object. The subject may be instructed to rotate the apparatus and to look through optical elements having a second optical characteristic and to focus on the same or different indicia or object. The subject may be instructed to repeat this process with this or further apparatuses having optical elements having the same or different optical characteristics. The visual focusing and/or vergence abilities of a subject may thus be tested and/or trained.
Abstract:
A dildo, including a solid high density heat-resistant glass substrate completely covered by a relatively inert metal plating such as gold, silver, nickel, chromium or titanium, the substrate having a shaft portion, a base portion at one end and a head portion at the opposite end. In one configuration the head and base portions are enlarged, the shaft portion having spaced protuberances. In another configuration the shaft portion is serpentine in form, the head portion is tapered and having a hole formed there through for a tether, and the base portion has oppositely projecting protuberances. The metal plating can have a variety of coloring patterns.
Abstract:
A hand stretching and strengthening device comprised of a unitary form and of resilient, compressible material. The device comprises a plurality of thick finger-stretch wedges extending from a connective base. Each wedge can include a depression on each of its sides to provide comfort and hold. The base provides the foundation for the wedges to extend from and provides resistance to strengthen the hand and forearm. The device holds its position on a user's hand, provides a constant stretching force between the fingers, and provides increased stretching force between fingers as the user closes the hand. The device is small, lightweight, portable, quietly operated and can be worn indefinitely without effort. The device provides an engaging exercise experience by allowing the user to simultaneously stretch and strengthen the fingers, hand, and forearm while executing a wide range of unrestricted motions including motions that mimic playing a musical instrument.
Abstract:
A mechanized dildo, including a motor driven coaxial plurality of longitudinally spaced drive cams, and corresponding sets of passive cams that operate within an elastic phallic sleeve to locally cyclically expand a girth of the sleeve. Optional vibratory elements are positioned proximate a distal extremity of the sleeve, and in a laterally extending arm that is formed for clitoral stimulation. A battery powered control handle provides multiple operating modes and speeds.
Abstract:
A handle and trigger activating a battery powered motor moving a mechanical plunger in a linear motion range. The plunger is placed against a patient's muscle, fascia, tendon, or ligament and is subjected to the repetitive mechanical plunger motion resulting in a deep massage. Plungers of differing shapes, sizes, contours, textures, and hardness may be used and are readily changed. The speed of the device is controlled by the trigger so that if more speed is desired, a user simply depresses the trigger further. Operational modes include: the device set to 30 seconds on the highest power setting, 30 seconds on a middle power setting; the device set to 20 seconds on the highest power setting, 20 seconds on a middle power setting; and the device set to 10 seconds on the highest power setting, 10 seconds on a middle power setting.
Abstract:
A sexual stimulation apparatus which may comprise a plurality of light sources for photostimulation and microbe reduction of the vagina, clitoris, or both; a plurality of vibrators for mechanical stimulation of the vagina, clitoris, or both; a plurality of modes of operation for achieving improved sexual stimulation in a user; a handle for ease of operation; a controller and programmable memory for containing modes of operation and driving the light sources and vibrators of the invention; a vaginal finger; a clitoral finger; a handle for ease of use; a keypad for user entry of commands; a charging and programming port; and a power source which may be a rechargeable battery which may be rechargeable by direct, inductive or other means; and a handle for ease of operation. The invention also comprises a flexible covering that provides smooth sliding engagement with the vagina and clitoris of a user.
Abstract:
A self-applicator for a percussor or airway clearance device has first and second straps that overlay one another and define an open area in-between. A pouch for holding the percussor is secured in the open area. Handles on the ends of the straps permit a user to easily hold the self-applicator against his/her back while using the percussor. One of the handles has an adjustable length harness to accommodate users of different sizes. An application surface on one of the straps is configured to make contact with the user's back and permit the percussor to contact the user's back through the strap.
Abstract:
A sexual stimulation device includes an elongated dildo housing sized to be received within an orifice of a human body, the housing defining an internal cavity extending along a longitudinal axis of the housing, a mass laterally constrained within the cavity and movable linearly along the cavity, and an electrically driven actuator disposed within the housing and operably coupled to the mass. The actuator is operable to accelerate the mass along the cavity and to thereby induce a longitudinal reactive acceleration of the housing.
Abstract:
A sexual stimulator for providing sexual stimulation to a user comprises a housing (1), a moving part (7) housed within the housing so as to cause motion of at least part of the housing (1) so as, in use, to provide a user with sexual stimulation, and a control circuit (8) for the moving part in which the control circuit (8) is arranged so as to control the strength of the motion caused by the moving part (7), the control circuit being arranged so that, at a first moment of time, the control circuit (8) causes the moving part (7) to commence the motion at a first strength, and then causes the strength of the motion to increase over a first period of time in which the first strength is insufficient to wake a user. Thus, a user can be gently roused from sleep such that sexual stimulation can take place before the moment of waking, with a user waking up sexually stimulated.
Abstract:
A method for treating urinary incontinence is provided. The method includes providing a device, the device including an expandable portion having an outer surface, and a first electrode and a second electrode, the first and second electrodes coupled to the outer surface of the expandable portion and configured to cause a contraction of a muscle in communication with the electrodes. The method further includes causing the expandable portion to expand such that the first and second electrodes contact vaginal walls, and causing a contraction of a muscle in communication with the first and second electrodes.
