A skin cleanser includes a surface, such as a silicone surface, with at least one textured portion for transmitting vibrational tapping to the skin. The skin cleanser includes at least one oscillating motor for generating the tapping motion to the skin. The textured portion includes touch-points or a wave that transmit the tapping motion to skin in contact with the textured portions. The touch-points may include thicker and thinner formations of the touch-points to provide firmer or softer vibrations to the skin. The touch-points are within about 0.5 to 2.5 mm in diameter. One configuration includes multiple oscillating motors configured to provide different vibration frequencies at around 50-300 Hertz and operable simultaneously.

Devices for soothing a baby may simulate the feel of massage by a caregiver with a circular massaging motion. An apparel component, such as a swaddle blanket or sleep sack, may be configured to receive the device. At least one clip may facilitate placement of the device.

A wheelchair includes massaging units integral with both the seat and the backrest. A first massaging unit includes a plurality of vibrating members positioned about the periphery of the backrest that can be activated simultaneously, sequentially, individually or in a random pattern to knead the user's back, shoulders and neck. A second massaging unit includes motorized massaging discs that rotate and linearly reciprocate to provide a unique “rolling” massage to the buttocks and thighs.

A system and method for controlling sexual stimulation devices using motion-sensing controllers. The system comprises a male sexual stimulation device and a motion sensing controller configured to control the operation of the reciprocating linear motion driver. In operation, natural motions of a user with the motion sensing controller result in corresponding motions of the male sexual stimulation device such as reciprocal linear motions and rotational motions.

This invention is about a detection device based on the piezoelectric property of geological minerals. The device has a vibration detector for compressing geological minerals to generate charges, so as to detect vibration and a physiotherapy jacket for carrying out quantitative physiotherapy on a human body by detecting the amount of charges. The system has the advantages of: being simple in structure, comprising the vibration detector and the physiotherapy jacket, using the piezoelectric property of geological minerals such as quartz and tourmaline, so as to realize detection of environmental vibration indoors, underground or in the field, and improving the safety factor of geological exploration operations.

There is provided a technique by which posture changing can be given to an occupant while the forward shift of his/her hip portion is prevented. A seat for vehicle includes a seat cushion, and a seat back coupled to the seat cushion, and the seat back includes a posture changing mechanism having a back face supporting mechanism. There is provided a technique by which a fatigue reduction operation using the posture changing mechanism includes a) moving the back face supporting mechanism set to a position of a lumbar spine portion of an occupant from a first position state to a rear direction side and setting the back face supporting mechanism to a second position state, and b) thereafter, moving the back face supporting mechanism stepwise to a front direction side from the second position state to the first position state.

A reciprocating linear movement massaging apparatus, having a shell, a massaging assembly provided in the shell, a driving mechanism for driving the massaging assembly to perform reciprocating linear movement axially along the shell, and an electric control device for controlling the driving mechanism; the driving mechanism comprises a stator assembly and a mover assembly, an air gap is provided between the stator assembly and the mover assembly; the stator assembly comprises (an) annular coil(s) provided in the shell, the mover assembly comprises a plurality of magnets provided in the annular coil(s), the plurality of magnets enclose to be an annular magnet; the annular magnet is transmissively connected with the massaging assembly and the massaging assembly is located in an annular space enclosed by the annular magnet, and an open cavity is provided in the massaging assembly for receiving a human part to be massaged.

A suction assembly is described. The suction assembly includes a therapy unit with a body that can apply a supplemental therapy to a skin surface. The suction assembly also includes a cup that can be removably connected to the therapy unit and that can interface with a skin surface to define a chamber within the cup. A pump of the therapy unit can reduce a pressure within the chamber to draw the skin surface into the chamber in a cupping therapy. In response to the skin surface being drawn into the chamber, the body can move in a longitudinal direction to maintain contact with the skin surface. A wall of the cup is translucent and the suction assembly is dimensioned to provide a user with a view into the chamber through the wall of the cup that is substantially unobstructed by the housing.

- - - A position/force control system includes one or multiple masterprimary apparatuses that receive an input of a treatment operation, one or multiple secondary apparatuses that output a treatment operation, and a control device that controls the one or multiple primary apparatuses and the one or multiple secondary apparatuses. The control device transmits a control parameter for causing the one or multiple secondary apparatusesto output force tactile sensation that corresponds to the treatment operation that is inputted into the one or multiple masterprimary apparatuses to the one or multiple secondary apparatuses and transmits a control parameter for causing the one or multiple masterprimary apparatuses to output reaction force against the treatment operation that is outputted by the one or multiple secondary apparatuses to the one or multiple primary apparatuses.- - -

A bedding foundation has a linear actuator for moving a roller carriage forward and backwards. The roller carriage includes wheels which move along rails supported below a rigid platform having an opening extending through the platform. The roller carriage includes a lifter which raises and lowers a roller independently of the movement of the linear actuator. Regardless of the position of the linear actuator, the roller may be raised or lowered. The roller moves back and forth inside the opening extending through the rigid platform and imparts a massage movement to a mattress above the foundation.
