An adult toy is configured to communicate with a user device of a human user. Receipt of a plurality of input parameters is accumulated via the user device. In response to the accumulation satisfying a preset condition, the accumulation is stopped and a control signal is sent to actuate the adult toy to perform a series of predefined acts. The series of predefined acts are used to sexually stimulate the human user. The control signal includes one or more control sub-patterns, each of the one or more control sub-patterns being configured by each of the plurality of input parameters.

The invention relates to a robotic walker (1) including a chassis (10) having a front portion (10a), a rear portion (10b), wheels (11a, 11b, 12) arranged to support the rear portion (10b) and the front portion (10a) of the chassis (10), one of the wheels (11a, 11b, 12) being coupled to a displacement motor (20), the robotic walker (1) including a control module (40) configured to control the displacement motor (20), and to: Determine an indicator of an involuntary movement of a user of the robotic walker (1) that could lead to a fall, based on values generated by one or several sensor(s); Identify a previous position, at the given moment, of at least two wheels (11a, 11b, 12); Transmit a command to stop the robotic walker (1); Transmit a command to move the robotic walker (1) so that it returns to the previous position.

A multimodal wearable band which uses mechanical vibrations to stimulate sensory neurons in the wrist or ankle in order to reduce the severity of tremors, rigidity, involuntary muscle contractions, and bradykinesia caused by neurological movement disorders and to free users from freezing induced by movement disorders. The device uses sensors to provide output used by a processing unit to determine the optimal stimulation pattern for each user and to determine when stimulation is necessary, and then uses one or more vibration motors to accordingly stimulate the user's neurological pathways to lessen the severity of a user's symptoms. The device can also be adapted to integrate with 3rd party devices.

An exoskeleton joint self-locking mechanism, a knee joint and a bionic rehabilitation robot are provided. The self-locking mechanism comprises a first base, a rotating outward expanding locking member, a second base and a locking driving member; the rotating outward expanding locking member comprises a first rotating frame and a second rotating frame, and outer sides of the first rotating frame and the second rotating frame have a first friction surface; one end of the first rotating frame is pivoted with one end of the second rotating frame; the second base is rotationally mounted on the first base, and an inner wall of the second base defines a second friction surface enclosing the first friction surface; the locking driving member applies/removes a force pushing away from free ends of the first rotating frame and the second rotating frame, to make the first friction surface lock/unlock the second friction surface.

A novel shoulder brace that can provide active dynamic support to an injured shoulder while providing the capability to also raise the attached arm and support the arm in an elevated position. The brace can be used both in conjunction with a rehabilitation intervention program to maintain or restore range of motion and strength and to assist in functional tasks at work and at home. The brace works by supporting a locking or ratchet mechanism connected to an arm cuff from a chest piece that, when desired, the user can move the arm connected to an injured shoulder and supported by the arm cuff from a normal side resting position to an elevated position 90 degrees from the resting position while transferring the load created by the arm and whatever the hand is holding back to the chest piece and to the torso of the user. A release mechanism can be used to release the locking or ratchet mechanism to let the user lower their arm back to a resting position.

A chair is disclosed for providing water and air adjustable massage. The massage chair includes a surface that is easy to clean, and water-filled rollers within the chair to apply a massaging effect to the body of the user thereon. Each water-filled roller incorporates a foam inner roller that is surrounded by either a cylindrical water-filled wrap or water-filled inserts. The massage chair incorporates a leg section to perform a percussive and vibrating massage on the legs of the user thereon. The massage chair has the ability to recline and to apply heat and/or cooling to the user thereon. The massage chair incorporates auto-sensing controls, massage pattern software, and Cloud Control Software that enables the owner in a commercial environment to establish the time for use, frequency, and price for the massage session.

Modular infrared heater units for a sauna and methods for constructing a sauna. The infrared heater units include one or more heating elements disposed in a housing. The housing is configured for direct mounting on walls of a structure and includes a pigtail for coupling to a controller. The housing is dimensioned to accommodate a paneling or other cladding on the walls and includes a trim frame that obscures edges of the cladding adjacent to the heater unit. Construction of a sauna unit includes mounting of a plurality of the heater units on walls of the structure; electrically communicably coupling the heater units to a controller; and providing any desired cladding to the interior of the structure.

Various embodiments of systems, devices, components, and methods for providing external therapeutic vibration stimulation to a patient are disclosed and described. Therapeutic vibration stimulation is provided to at least one location on or adjacent to a patient's skin (such as through clothing or a layer disposed next to the patient's skin), and is configured to trigger or induce resonance or high amplitude oscillations in a cardiovascular system of the patient. Inducing such resonance can aid in training autonomic reflexes and improve their functioning.

Under the control of a controller, a drive mechanism portion moves a massaging member and an ascent-descent mechanism moves up and down the massaging member together with the entire drive mechanism portion. During an ordinary kneading massage, the massaging member performs a relative motion to describe a reference locus in the shape of a closed curve. The controller controls to make the massaging member perform a relative reciprocating movement within a partial movement range corresponding to a partial segment of the reference locus and simultaneously controls to make the ascent-descent mechanism move the drive mechanism portion up and down. The relative reciprocating movement of the massaging member along the partial segment of the reference locus and the up-down movement of the entire drive mechanism portion are combined together to produce a new motion of the massaging member describing a locus different from the reference locus.

An exoskeleton device that includes an artificial joint and a frame member extending from the artificial joint. The frame member is configured for extension over a limb of a user. The exoskeleton device also includes a self-aligning mechanism connected to the frame member. The self-aligning mechanism includes three passive degrees of freedom (pDOF) provided in a prismatic-revolute-revolute (PRR) configuration. The self-aligning mechanism also includes a limb attachment member configured for mechanically coupling to a portion of the limb of the user.
