A sexual aid system is disclosed. In an embodiment, the system includes a first sexual aid device comprising a first electro-mechanical device configured to facilitate an achievement of an orgasm within a first user during a session, a sensor configured to measure physiological data of the first user during use of the first electro-mechanical device, and a first processor configured to receive the physiological data from the sensor and transmit information indicative of the physiological data to a network. The system also includes a second sexual aid device comprising a second electro-mechanical device configured to facilitate an achievement of an orgasm within a second user during the session, and a processor configured to receive, from the network, the information indicative of the physiological data and cause the second electro-mechanical device to operate using in part the information indicative of the physiological data.

MOBILIZATION TOOL PERSONAL CARE PRODUCT CONTAINER

A container comprising a cavity for holding a personal care product, an opening for dispensing the personal care product and a working feature for activation of soft tissue, the working feature being a structural feature as found on a physical therapy soft tissue mobilization tool that is adapted to mobilize soft tissue.

MASSAGE HEAD AND MASSAGE EQUIPMENT EMPLOYING SUCH A HEAD
20210196556 · 2021-07-01 ·

This massage head includes a housing, having two active members emerging from the lower surface thereof, having its free lower edge, opposite to the housing, intended to be in contact with a patient's skin. One at least of said active members is formed of a flap hinged within the housing and capable of being pivoted to bring the lower edges of said active members closer to each other or draw them away from each other, the relative displacement of said at least one flap being ensured by means of a rotary cam formed within the housing, the rotation axis of the cam being oriented substantially parallel to the displacement direction of said at least one flap. The cam includes at least one cam track formed on its periphery, intended to cooperate with the flap support(s), having one or their ends hinged in the housing.

Methods and devices to hydraulic consumer devices

Many devices with “limbs” or “arms” are susceptible to damage when a user bends or twists a joint of the limb or arm beyond its design point or in a direction other than intended. This is common with children's toys. Accordingly, it would be beneficial to provide children with toys employing fluidic actuators that can be bent, twisted, deformed and yet recover subsequently allowing the intended motion to be performed. Further, it would be beneficial by providing devices that employ fluidic actuators, and hence are essentially non-mechanical, to provide users not only of toys but other devices with driving mechanisms that are not susceptible to wear-out such as, by stripping drive gears, etc., thereby increasing their reliability and reducing noise. Fluidic devices allow for high efficiency, high power to size ratio, low cost, limited or single moving part(s) and allow for mechanical springless designs as well as functional reduction by providing a piston which is both pump and vibrator.
