Abstract:
A method of controlling a compression device controls a vent phase of a compression device having an inflatable bladder capable of being pressurized for applying compression to a part of a subject's body. The method includes delivering pressurized fluid from a source of pressurized fluid to a first inflatable bladder disposed about a portion of the subject's body and venting the pressurized fluid from the first inflatable bladder by opening a first valve. The method further includes monitoring fluid pressure in the first inflatable bladder during the venting of the first inflatable bladder. Based at least in part on the monitored fluid pressure, the first valve is selectively closed and selectively reopened to control fluid pressure in the first inflatable bladder to remain within a desired residual pressure range.
Abstract:
A walking aid apparatus comprising a sitting member which a user sits astride and leg links each coupled to a connection provided on the undersurface of the sitting member in such a way as to be free to swing in the forward/backward direction, which improves the stability of the sitting member. The connection is adapted in such a way that a forward/backward swinging fulcrum of the leg links is located above the sitting member. More specifically, the connection is provided with an arc-shaped guide track longitudinal in the forward/backward direction and having the center of curvature above the sitting member, so that each of the leg links swings along the guide track in the forward/backward direction. If the leg links are allowed to swing freely also in the lateral direction, preferably the lateral swinging fulcrum of the leg links is also located above the sitting member.
Abstract:
Compression garment systems may include a trunk garment and a leg garment to be positioned about a trunk and leg of a body to provide compression therapy thereto. The trunk garment and the garment may include a plurality of controllable pressure applying regions to move lymph from the leg and trunk.
Abstract:
A sexual stimulation device includes a housing, a suction nozzle, a motor, an eccentric rod, and a connecting rod. The motor drives the eccentric rod to rotate. The eccentric rod drives the connecting rod to swing left and right to enable a stimulation member to swing left and right. The stimulation member swings left and right to squeeze the air in a space in the suction nozzle to generate an air vortex. The force generated by the air vortex is to perform 360° massage and stimulation on the female erogenous zone. It effectively enhances the user's experience, and it is easier for the user to have an orgasm.
Abstract:

The stick body includes a cover assembly, an end cover connected to the cover assembly, and a temperature transmitting member. The end cover includes a negative pressure connection hole. The temperature transmission member includes a suction port. The stick body further includes an air pipe communicates with the negative pressure connection hole and the suction port. The refrigeration module arranged inside of the stick body. The refrigeration module including a thermoelectric cooling chip and a heat sink. The thermoelectric cooling chip including a cold end and a hot end. The cold end attached to the temperature transmitting member. The hot end thermally contacts with the heat sink.
Abstract:
A pneumatic system includes a fluidic switching module, an air connection inlet configured for connection to a source of pressurized air, a plurality of air connection outlets each in fluid communication with the air connection inlet, a first cascading subsystem downstream from and in fluid communication with the air connection inlet and configured to receive a pressurized airflow from the air connection inlet, a second cascading subsystem downstream from and in fluid communication with the first cascading subsystem, and a third cascading subsystem downstream from and in fluid communication with the first cascading subsystem. The fluidic switching module is configured to cyclically and sequentially direct the pressurized airflow between the plurality of air connection outlets without any moving parts or external controls.
Abstract:
An apparatus can include a left cover, sized and shaped to fit over a left eye of a patient to define a left cavity between the left cover and an anterior surface of the left eye and a right cover, sized and shaped to fit over a right eye of the patient to define a right cavity between the right cover and an anterior surface of the right eye. The apparatus can include a left pressure source to apply a left working fluid to the left cavity, the left pressure source capable of generating a left cavity pressure including a left negative gauge pressure and a right pressure source to apply a right working fluid to the right cavity, the right pressure source capable of generating a right cavity pressure including a right negative gauge pressure, where the right pressure source can be separate from the left pressure source. The left pressure source can be configured to generate a left cavity pressure independently of the right pressure source and the right pressure source can be configured to generate a right cavity pressure independently of the left pressure source.
