Abstract:
A light emitting module and massage device provide vaginal rejuvenation. The device exposes collagen in the vaginal area or mucosa to temperatures elevated over normal body temperature to cause the collagen to reversibly or irreversibly denature while simultaneously applying vibration. Once thermally-induced collagen denaturation has occurred, both neoelastogenesis and neocollagenesis may occur and may be initiated with fibroblast proliferation, which may be promoted with vibration. Neofibrogenesis also occurs due to the fibroblastic activity, responsible for secretion of new collagen matrix to effect tissue repair. Thus, the device exploits thermally-induced collagen denaturation and repair along with simultaneous vibration to improve tissue tone, connective tissue tension and bulk tissue regeneration.
Abstract:
The application provides for a vibrating foot massager that resembles a common shoe. This vibrating foot massager has a number of vibrating motors which can be placed in a variety of combinations within the sole of the shoe. Preferably, the vibrating foot massager will be equipped with a power source so the entire device will be portable. This will enable a user to enjoy the benefits of receiving a foot massage while on the go. The vibrating foot massager is also equipped with a power switch such that when the motors are not in use, the device operates as a functional shoe.

Abstract:
A flexible vibrating mat for soothing a child includes a plurality of electric vibratory motors and a plurality of cylindrical motor casings. Each motor casing is associated with a single electric vibratory motor and is generally the same size as the associated electric vibratory motor. The mat additionally includes a controller. The controller is configured to selectively electrically couple the plurality of electric vibratory motors to an electric power supply. The mat further includes a flexible core coupled with the plurality of motor casings and a water-resistant cover covering the core, the plurality of motor casings, and the controller.
Abstract:
A process of massaging a subject is provided that includes the provision of a vibratory massage roller with a user controlled magnitude of vibratory amplitude having a casing with a casing surface extending over a length of the vibratory roller. A series of weights inside the casing may be positioned by the user to vary and control the amplitude of the vibration produced by the roller. A motor is included in the housing and is electrically coupled to a power source. The power source is energized to induce a vibratory amplitude to the surface that varies less than thirty amplitude percent across the central seventy percent of the length. The massage roller is contacted with the subject to massage the subject.
Abstract:
Methods and apparatus for improving emergency wash systems. Various embodiments pertain to compact, low flow emergency eyewash systems that provide tepid water at low flow rates. Still further embodiments pertain to emergency washing systems that are adapted and configured to reduce the exposure of users to Legionnaire's Disease with washing system features that permit quick, efficient, high flow rate flushing of the plumbing providing water to the washing system. Still further embodiments pertain to emergency eyewash systems that provide tepid water from a thermostatically controlled mixing valve that has a multi-function body.
Abstract:
A spinal support device for alleviating a user's spinal or neck pain. The spinal support device includes a support having a plurality of inflatable bladders positioned on an upper surface thereof. A pump supplies a fluid, such as air or water among others, to the plurality of bladders so as to inflate the same. Each bladder further includes a pressure sensor for monitoring the pressure therein and a valve for sealing the bladder once it has been filled. A control circuit having a microprocessor that communicates with the pump, pressure sensors, and valves is provided, wherein the microprocessor serves to close the valves when the pressure within each bladder has reached a predetermined level. The inflatable bladders may be successively inflated and deflated so as to provide a massaging effect. Further, a heating layer may be disposed over the bladders to provide heat to the user's body.
