Devices, systems, and methods for percussion therapy of a patient's torso area provide percussive force to release and/or dislodge mucous from respiratory airways of a human patient. Such devices, systems, and methods may include a torso covering for securing to a patient's torso, percussive devices coupled to the torso covering, and an attachment assembly for supporting the torso covering. The percussive devices may include a percussion frame, an electromechanically actuated percussor for controlled movement between end positions, and resilient members attached to opposite ends of the percussion frame for assisting controlled movement of the percussor. The devices, systems, and methods disclosed herein provide efficient and comfortable high-frequency percussive force to a patient's torso, reducing stress on the patient and improving patient experience.

It is disclosed an apparatus (100) for tactile stimulation of C-Tactile afferents comprising a casing (10) configured to be positioned onto a user's skin and at least one tactile stimulation element (21) carried by the casing (10) and operated by a motor (30) at a controlled velocity for generating at least one tactile stimulation. The apparatus (100) further comprises an electronic control unit (40) and at least one pressure sensor (50) in electrical communication with the electronic control unit (40) to control the pressure force exerted by the tactile stimulation element (21) onto the user's skin by adjusting the position of the tactile stimulation element (21) with respect to the user's skin, based on a feedback signal transmitted by said at least one pressure sensor (50). A method of generating at least one tactile stimulation of C-Tactile afferents carried out by using the aforesaid apparatus (100) is also disclosed.

Air cushion assembly for a seat, such as a vehicle seat, comprising at least an air cushion and an air supply system for variably pressurizing the air cushions of the air cushion assembly with air.

A device for use by an individual for sexual pleasure varying in form, i.e. shape, during its use and allowing for the user to select multiple variations of form either discretely or in combination and for these dynamic variations to be controllable simultaneously and interchangeably while being transparent to the normal use of the device, including the ability to insert, withdraw, rotate, and actuate the variable features manually or remotely. According to embodiments of the invention localized and global variations of devices are implemented using fluidics and electromagnetic pumps/valves wherein a fluid is employed such that controlling the pressure of the fluid results in the movement of an element within the device or the expansion/contraction of an element within the device.

The invention relates to devices and methods in the field of mechanical vibrational energy therapy, in particular oscillation stimulation of a subject. A device comprises a housing and the housing comprises a contact surface for being put in contact with the subject; a sensor element configured to detect a contact between the contact surface and the subject and optionally to transform a contact pressure between the contact surface of the device and the subject to which the mechanical vibrational energy is to be applied into a pressure dependent output signal; and a transducer configured to convert an electric input signal into an axial oscillatory motion of a mass, wherein the transducer comprises a coil and a permanent magnet, wherein the mass can be moved relative to the housing, wherein the relative movement of the mass is configured to cause at least the contact surface to vibrate, and wherein the mass comprises the permanent magnet.

A method is in particular a computer-implemented method and comprises a step S3 of detecting a contact between the device as described and the subject and generating an output signal, wherein a characteristic of the output signal is different in case a contact is detected compared to a case in which no contact is detected. The method comprises further a step S5 of comparing the characteristic of the output signal with a pre-set threshold value.
