The absence of high efficiency, compact fluidic pumps has until recently blocked the consideration of using hydraulic devices within portable and/or alkaline battery powered consumer and non-consumer products. The higher the functionality and programmability desired for a consumer and/or non-consumer product exploiting a fluidic pump then the more complex the overall fluidic system in terms of the number of actuators, valves, switches etc. within the fluidic system coupled to the one or more fluidic pumps. Accordingly, there exists a requirement to provide compact fluidic valves and switches to support configurability, programmability, and operation of these portable battery-operated consumer and non-consumer devices in conjunction with these newly available high efficiency, compact fluidic pumps. Such fluidic valves and switches should offer high efficiency, have a small footprint, be low complexity for high reliability and ease of manufacture, and low cost.

A girth adjustable device for dilation and stretch of body orifices for medical applications, massage, body orifice improvement and activities pleasurable to the body, that can repeatedly, gradually increase and decrease a uniform and sustainable pressure against the entire lateral surface area of body orifices. The girth adjustable device comprises at least one controller, a housing, at least one threaded shaft, at least one module, a plurality of shaft members and at least one sheath. The part of the girth adjustable device that has to be inserted into body orifices is the shaft. In a body orifice, the user increases and decreases the girth size of the shaft via the controller.

A system and method for thought-based control of sexual stimulation devices using electroencephalography. The system and method involve a training phase and an operation phase. In an embodiment, the training phase comprises placing electrodes on the head of a person, measuring electrical signals produced by the person's brain via the electrodes while the user engages in one or more thought-based training tasks, associating patterns of electrical activity in the person's brain while performing the tasks with controls of the sexual stimulation device. In an embodiment, the operation phase comprises generating control signals for the sexual stimulation device based on the associations when the patterns of electrical activity are detected by the electrodes. In some embodiments, machine learning algorithms are used to detect the patterns of electrical activity and make the associations. In some embodiments, data from other biometric sensors is included in the associations.

A method of connecting a user device anonymously to a remote operator, via an intermediate anonymizing server is described. In this way, a remote operator may control the device, without the remote operator knowing the identity of the owner or of user of the device. A remote operator might provide medical support or entertainment. The user of the device is provided with a connection key, which is then further given by the user to a desired remote operator. Both the user and the remote operator provide the anonymizing server with the connection key. The anonymizing server opens a chat room uniquely associated with the connection key. Electronic connectivity is provided by forwarding messages between the user device and the remote operator through the chat room. No other access to the chat room is permitted. The anonymizing server does not store the connection key. No user application is required.

A vagina contraction ball includes a handle. A base is disposed at first end of the handle. A bottom end in the base is disposed with a circuit board. A motor is disposed inside the base above the circuit board. The end of the motor, away from the handle, is provided with a reduction gear box. The end of the reduction gear box away from the motor is provided with a front bearing base. Equidistant positioning shafts are disposed on an outer surface of the side of the front bearing base away from the reduction gear box. Outer surfaces of the positioning shafts are all sleeved with balls. The ends of the balls, away from the front bearing base, are provided with a front cover.

A system and method for voice-based control of sexual stimulation devices. In some configurations, the system and method involve receiving voice data, analyzing the voice data to detect spoken commands, and generating control signals based on the commands. In some configurations, the system and method involve receiving voice data, analyzing the voice data for non-speech vocalizations, detecting voice stress patterns, and generating control signals based on the detected patterns. In some configurations, the analyses of the voice data are performed by machine learning algorithms which may be trained on associations between speech and non-speech vocalizations of a user while the user engages in one or more voice-based training tasks, associating speech and non-speech vocalizations with controls of the sexual stimulation device. In some configurations, machine learning algorithms are used to make the associations. In some configurations, data from other biometric sensors is included in the associations.

Apparatus that enables non-penetrating sex between two users. Embodiments may be integrated into or attached to clothing worn by the first user. A tubular element (including, but not limited to, a male or female condom) may be installed either permanently or detachably; attachments at both the open and closed ends of the tubular element ensure that it will not penetrate the first user. Users may therefore enjoy many of the benefits of sex, including intimacy and mutual stimulation, without the risks inherent in penetration. Attachment for the open end may use for example an element that attaches to a base ring or flange at the open end. Illustrative attachments for the closed end include a loop into which the closed end is cinched, a notch or hole into which a button in the closed end is inserted, and a mechanism into which the closed end is inserted, folded, and secured.

Disclosed embodiments provide a portable sex article. The article includes a soft hollow case (which, in some embodiments, is a pillow case). The case is specially designed with a holster formed on a first side the case. The holster is adapted to secure a sex simulation device such as an artificial vagina or dildo. The holster extends into an interior region of the case, and may have a securing mechanism such as elastic bands or a hook-and-loop fastener to secure a sex simulation device in place. A human image is imparted on the case, such as by a textile printing process. The human image can be a photograph or illustration. The human image includes a rendering of an anatomical orifice, such as an anus, vagina, and/or mouth. The human image is oriented such that the anatomical orifice is aligned with the holster.
