Abstract:
The present invention provides a differential pressure body suit with external support against body suit migration. In its preferred embodiment, such body suit may comprise a close-fitting, multi-layered suit sealed against a mammal's skin to contain the differential pressure, or a looser-fitting suit that bends at the mammal's joints with minimal force. External support means include either fixed or movable mechanical supports attached to the body suit, extraordinary air pressure levels for making the body suit rigid, or exoskeletons attached to the body suit, or a counter-force suspension cable adjustment system. A cyclic control system can turn the differential pressure condition within the body suit on and off on a selective basis to accommodate the movement of the legs of the mammal. This differential pressure body suit provides a portable and convenient system for, e.g., rehabilitating a skeletal joint injury or training the mammal for injury prevention or athletic performance or fat burning. The pressurization reduces the weight of the body to greater or lesser extents, and offloads the weight to the ground through the external support means.
Abstract:
A pool pump is provided. The pool pump comprises a housing, and a control panel arranged on said housing, with a control unit connected to said control panel to form a capacitive touch control. The housing may be provided with at least one accommodation cavity, the control panel is arranged in a flippable manner at said housing, and the control panel and the end cover are in a horizontal position and at least one preset angle position. The pool pump is detachably connected to a pool pump cover, and the pool pump cover comprises: a cover body; a base connected to said cover body; and at least one functional device arranged on said cover body for implementing at least one of the functions of communication, electrical charging and music play. The pool pump adopts a pool control system for a massage pool unit of an inflatable pool, comprising an intelligent controller electrically connected to the massage pool unit, and the intelligent controller is configured to receive a usage operation to drive said pool pump so that said inflatable pool generates multiple water circulation modes.
Abstract:
Described is an exercise tool. More particularly, it is a therapy and exercise tool specifically devised as a foot-therapy and toe-aligning device to align, separate, and stretch toes. The foot-therapy and toe-aligning device comprises a frame with a plurality of posts connected with the frame. The device is formed of an elastic material such that a user may place at least one of the plurality of posts between a user's toes and pull the post to stretch and elongate the post between the toes. Upon release, the elastic material of the post causes the post to attempt to return to its original shape, thereby causing it to expand out and conform its shape to fit snugly against the user's toes. Additionally, the elastic material allows the toe posts to be positioned and maintained at numerous locations between the user's toes for customizable positioning between the toes.
Abstract:
A compression device for the foot comprising: a wrap adapted to surround the foot, the wrap comprising at least two bladders which when inflated conform to the shape of the foot to provide compression, the bladders being positioned on the wrap so that a first bladder focuses compression on the heel of the foot and a second bladder focuses compression on the arch of the foot; a channel attached to each bladder for independently delivering fluid to each bladder; and a controller attached to the channels that generates and independently controls the flow of fluid to the bladders.
Abstract:
A personal flotation device includes a hard outer shell, a seat, a centered leg straddle support, and a water ballast valve. The flotation device is fully submersible and has adjustable buoyancy that allows the user to sit upright on the device, floating at approximately armpit level in the water with the user's arms free and feet dangling down. The user can use his or her arms and legs to propel through the water, or perform other activities while floating because his or her hands are free to do so.
Abstract:
A portable, flexible, versatile athletic massage device with improved adjustable therapeutic massage is described. It is comprised of one or more vibrating units embedded in a pliant wrap-around material. The wrap may be optionally pneumatically inflated, deflated, heated, cooled to adjust comfort level and snugness of the device. The vibrating head(s) provide pulsating massage that is manually or programmatically adjustable. The wrap may additionally contain one or many electro-stimulation devices/electrodes for providing localized muscle stimulation. These device is controlled using electronic controller(s) powered by electrical, battery or known power sources. The controller is operated manually or through preset programs, remote controls and/or through voice control. The wrap provides comfortable intimate contact with the body facilitating better relief of the injury/pain. Individual customization of massage of the target area is possible through user variable power supply and user variable placement of vibrating heads and electro-stimulators in the wrap.

Abstract:
An inflatable spa is disclosed having improved strength. A water cavity of the inflatable spa may receive massaging air bubbles and/or jetted water.
Abstract:
A reduced pressure delivery system for applying reduced pressure tissue treatment to a tissue site is provided. The system includes a manifold delivery tube and a balloon having an inner space. The balloon is capable of assuming collapsed and expanded positions. The system further includes a manifold having a plurality of flow channels. The manifold is disposed within the inner space of the balloon. A sharp tip is configured to be delivered within the manifold delivery tube to puncture the balloon.
Abstract:
A sexual aid device, for allowing a user being a first party of sexual relationship with a second party, to simulate the physiologic reaction of the penis of a human male. The proposed sexual aid device includes a hollow penis body made of flexible or semi-rigid material and containing a plurality of telescopic sections for causing the penis body to be in its erected state when the telescopic sections are maximally propagated and for allowing the penis body to be in its descended default state, when the telescopic sections are maximally contracted; a simulated scrotum made of flexible or semi-rigid material, having a compartment for containing a mechanism for powering the propagation and contraction of the telescopic sections; a mechanism for providing a driving force required for powering the propagation and contraction of the telescopic sections; sensors located on the penis body, for detecting physical contact of the penis body with the body of the second party; a controller for controlling the driving force to cause the telescopic sections to maximally propagate, according to input signals received from the sensors and to time and to return to be maximally contracted, after a predetermined time; a power source for powering the controller and for generating the driving force; and a coupling mechanism for attaching the sexual aid device to the body of the first party.
