Abstract:
A mask is provided to cover the face of a person. The mask can be attached to a person's face through an adhesive strip, which is connected along an interior surface of the mask. An oral region on the mask is defined by a lip, opening, and an elastic tongue sleeve. A power source is placed in the mask to support electrical components. Possible electrical components include an electrical contact for generating sensual shocks, a vibrator for increasing pleasure of sexual acts such as cunnilingus, and an illumination source for adjusting ambient lighting. Such components may be controlled through an interface placed on the mask, or remotely via a wireless component that communications with a control module placed within the mask.
Abstract:
A spa is provided that includes: a basin; a motor having a shaft defining a rotation axis; a hub mounted to the shaft, the hub having North and South pole domains spaced apart from each other and arranged to encircle the rotation axis in alternating relation; and an impeller which is disposed in the basin in axially spaced relation to the hub and is at least substantially constrained against movement but for rotation about the axis, the impeller including a rotor body of a non-magnetic, electrically-conductive material having relatively low magnetic permeability. The improvement in which is that there are lights and coils coupled to the impeller for rotation therewith, the lights and coils being coupled and adapted such that, in use, the rotating magnetic fields associated with the drive hub created induced currents in the coils which actuate the lights and create a net force that rotates the impeller.
Abstract:
A TENS (transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation) device and method using a micro current with a carrier signal and a square wave form combined with vibration and/or mechanical muscular manipulation for promoting the release and disbursement of lactic acid treating muscular soreness, cramping or degeneration. This method and nerve stimulation device is packaged to require no input from a user and a user must only apply the sticky electrode pad with the base unit attached on top to the correct part of the body and start the preprogrammed sequence of electrical currents, vibration and/or muscular manipulation. The method involves applying bursts of direct current at higher frequencies for shorter periods of time followed by lower frequency bursts of electrical current for longer periods of time combined with a small vibration motor and/or motorized nodes providing muscular manipulation to certain areas of the body.
Abstract:
A stool is provided that provides a raised heel squat position to a user that engages the stool. The raised heel squatting position promotes a healthy and productive experience on a toilet. The stool may be collapsible for easier storage and transportation. The stool may be adjustable to provide custom fittings to different size users. Additionally, the stool may be intelligent and may provide a customized immersive experience to a person on a toilet.
Abstract:
A rollable apparatus includes a housing being annular in shape, a heating element mounted about the exterior of the housing, a vibration-inducing motor mounted in the interior of the housing and attached thereto, and a set of batteries mounted in the interior of the housing. The set of batteries is provided for powering the heating element to control the temperature of the housing and for powering the vibration motor to induce oscillatory motion in the housing. The apparatus also includes a set of user controls mounted so as to be accessible at the exterior of the housing, a front cover removably mounted so as to form a portion of the exterior of the housing at one end thereof, and a skin of pliable cushioning material covering the housing.
Abstract:
A device vibrates body tissue to reduce pain experience by the body tissue in a therapeutic procedure. The device includes a frame and a tip connectable to the frame which can be activated to produce vibration. An electromagnetic reader is connected to the frame and includes an antenna for sending and receiving electromagnetic radiation. An electromagnetic tag is connected to the removable tip, and also has an antenna for sending and receiving electromagnetic radiation in communication with the electromagnetic reader antenna. The antennas are disposed proximate to each other when the removable tip is connected to the frame, whereby the electromagnetic tag can transmit information to the electromagnetic reader.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for a Kegel health system can include: inserting an insertable body into a user, the insertable body connected to a tail outside of the user, the insertable body including a bulbous body coupled to a connecting body, the bulbous body including a control unit, the connecting body coupled to the tail, and the connecting body including sensors; sensing sensor data with the sensors, the sensor data indicating the presence of contractions from a pelvic floor muscle of the user; providing feedback to the user with graphics and written information displayed on an external device, the graphics and the written information indicating attributes of the contractions from the pelvic floor muscle.
Abstract:
Among other things, a spa includes a spa shell and a water feature disposed on the spa shell. The water feature includes a ridge disposed in an interior area of the spa shell and having a top disposed near a water line of the spa shell. The water feature also includes a water inlet disposed adjacent to the ridge opposite a main body of water area in the interior area of the spa shell, the water inlet being placed lower than the top of the ridge. In addition; the water feature includes a slope descending from the top of the ridge in the direction of the water inlet, the slope having a patterned top surface configured to interact with water flowing over the ridge, down the slope and toward the water inlet.
Abstract:
A walker for assisting persons with varying degrees of physical ability is provided with an adjustable strap. A user opens a portion of the walker and enters the walker, and then the user closes the portion of the walker to enclose himself or herself in the walker. The user is positioned over an adjustable strap, and the adjustable strap is in an extended position. The adjustable strap may then be retracted such that a seat disposed on the adjustable strap rises and contacts the user to bear at least a portion of the user's weight.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus include attaching a lighted cup holder to a seating arrangement. The lighted cup holder includes a cup holder body and a light-producing light source, with the cup holder body being attached to the seating arrangement and having a cup receptacle therein, the light-producing source being disposed within the cup receptacle for illuminating the receptacle. A light-sensitive element operatively connected to the light source selectively controls production of light by the light source in such a manner that illumination of the cup holder is provided only under conditions where visibility is reduced to the point that it becomes difficult to locate the cup holder. The light-sensitive element is mounted on a master lighted cup holder and controls illumination of the master lighted cup holder and one or more slave lighted cup holders operatively connected to the master lighted cup holder.
