Infant Burping Assembly
An infant burping assembly includes a belt that is longitudinally elongated for wearing around an infant's torso. An inflation unit is integrated into the belt and the inflation unit is repeatedly inflated and deflated when the inflation unit is turned on. In this way the inflation unit repeatedly engages the infant's back for burping the infant. A heating element is integrated into the belt to warm the infant when the heating element is turned on. A vibration unit is integrated into the belt to massage the infant when the vibration unit is turned on. A remote control is provided and the remote control is in remote communication with each of the inflation unit, the heating element and the vibration unit for turning each of the inflation unit, the heating element and the vibration unit on and off.
Foot-Washing Bowl System
The present invention relates to a foot-washing bowl system. The system may be comprised of a free-standing foot-washing stand and/or a toilet-mounted foot-washing stand. The free-standing foot-washing stand has a bowl that receives a water source to allow water to flow through the stand and out at least one opening of a cross-member to wash the feet of the user. The toilet-mounted embodiment features a stand identical to the free-standing stand that is further comprised of a toilet seat assembly that allows the system to attach and be used as a toilet seat.
SCRATCH PANEL
The scratch panel is a wall-mounting panel to relieve itching in particularly difficult to reach locations, such as the back. It utilizes artificial turf and sand paper like textured surfaces upon which the body may be scratched. Since the panel is wall-mounted, no hands are necessary to relieve bothersome itches. The panel holds adjustable rollers that stretch the artificial turf and allow recycling of the surface. The adjustable rollers allow the user to use different parts of the turf and replace said turf when necessary. The disclosed device includes a scrollable abrasive material stretched across a first scroll and a second scroll wherein the scrolls each lock to fix the scrollable abrasive material in a fixed relation thereto. A holder receives the scrolls in a rotating relation and provides a grip for a user and defines mounting holes to a wall or a piece of furniture.

Stimulating device
The invention discloses a stimulation device comprising: a belt (10) containing at least two vibration modules (5, 7, 9), wherein each of the at least two vibration modules (5, 7, 9) comprises: a pod (4) with a casing (6, 26) and a vibration pad (24) arranged within the casing (6, 26), and a vibration motor (20) with a flywheel (28) within the housing (6, 26), a control panel (15) operating said vibration motors (20) of the at least two vibration modules (5, 7, 9); wherein the vibration motors (20) are mounted to the vibration pad (24) via at least one elastic motor housing (22). The invention further discloses the use of such a device for treating hypoventilation and respiratory depression and a method of treating hypoventilation and respiratory depression by fastening a belt (10) to the abdomen of a user and operating the belt (10), wherein the at least two vibration modules are externally applied to an abdominal region of a user to stimulate the diaphragm, to enhance pulmonary function.

VIBRATING MASSAGER WITH INTERCHANGEABLE MASSAGING ATTACHMENTS
A hand-held body massager includes a powered handle having an electric motor and reciprocating assembly mounted therein and a first mating coupler of a side-release buckle assembly connected to the reciprocating assembly to impart longitudinal, reciprocating movement of the first mating coupler relative to a powered handle. A plurality of massaging attachments incorporating a second mating coupler of the side-release buckle assembly are interchangeably securable to the powered handle. One of the massage attachments comprises a flexible strap with the second mating coupler connected to a first end and a second end, formed from a section of elastic material, connected to a passive handle. Other attachments include a plurality of massage head attachments each including a massage head of a different geometry and having a second mating coupler of a side-release buckle assembly projecting therefrom.

Skin therapy device
The skin therapy device combines the mechanical stimulation and cleansing in the form of vibration with optical stimulation from LEDs. The device combines these two elements without sacrificing the effectiveness of either the mechanical cleansing/stimulation or optical stimulation by passing the light through the mechanical elements that are in contact with the skin. The light from the LEDs does not pass around the mechanical elements, such as around opaque brush fibers, but passes through the mechanical elements.
Compression Device Especially for Preventing Deep Vein Thrombosis
A compression device particularly suited for DVT prophylaxis includes a disposable wrap and a re-usable controller removably mounted on the wrap to apply a tensioning force to the wrap when it is encircling the limb of a patient. The wrap includes a strap wrapped around an electric motor-driven pulley, with an encoder to determine the amount of rotation of the pulley and a current sensor to determine the current load on the motor during operation. A pretension protocol sets the pulley of the wrap at a proper frap position so that the wrap can properly execute a DVT prophylaxis protocol.
