Gait assistance slab
A gait assistance slab is provided. The gait assistance slab includes a body that includes an outer surface. The gait assistance slab further includes a plurality of sensors disposed inside the body. The gait assistance slab further includes a plurality of actuators disposed inside the body. The gait assistance slab further includes circuitry communicatively coupled to the plurality of sensors and the plurality of actuators. The circuitry detects a presence of a person on the outer surface based on an electric signal acquired from one of the plurality of sensors. The circuitry determines a level of actuation of one of the plurality of actuators based on the detected presence of the person and the acquired electric signal. The circuitry further controls, based on the determined level of actuation, the one of the plurality of actuators to assist gait of the person on the outer surface.
MEDICAL VAST AND USING METHOD THEREOF
A medical vast and using method thereof. The medical vest has a clothe capable of surrounding the chest of a user's body, one or more vibration devices located in the clothe respectively and a motion sensor located in the clothe. Hence, when a user wears the medical vest and/or when the user actives one or more vibration devices to apply a net vibration force to the users' chest, the motion sensor may detect the user's real posture and/or both the vibration intensity and/or the vibration frequency of the vibration force applied to the user's chest. Accordingly, the user may adjust the vibration intensity and/or the vibration frequency of one or more vibration devices, also may adjust how the clothe is worn on the user's chest.
VIRTUAL REALITY GAME- AND BIOSIGNAL SENSOR-BASED VESTIBULO-OCULAR REFLEX ASSESSMENT AND REHABILITATION APPARATUS
A virtual reality game- and biosignal sensor-based VOR assessment and rehabilitation apparatus includes: a biosignal sensing unit which senses and notifies of head movement and eye movement of a patient using an eye tracker and an inertial measurement unit (IMU) sensor attached or installed to a head-mounted display device; a VOR function assessment unit which configures and provides a game for VOR function assessment; a patient-personalization control unit which determines, on the basis of the VOR gain of the patient, the types and order of rehabilitation games, and a rehabilitation level; and a rehabilitation game providing unit which configures and provides games for at least one among smooth pursuit, saccades, VOR rehabilitation exercise, amplified VOR rehabilitation exercise, and suppressive VOR rehabilitation exercise, and determines the difficulty levels of the games on the basis of the rehabilitation level.
AUTOMATED GENERATION OF CONTROL SIGNALS FOR SEXUAL STIMULATION DEVICES
A system and method for controlling the speed of operation of sexual stimulation devices from videos of sexual activity using a less computationally-intensive method of estimating movement speed from a video. In an embodiment, the system and method involve estimating movement in a video using pixel-by-pixel color change over time, calculating a rate of color change in the video, estimating a speed of movement in the video from the rate of color change, and applying an algorithm to convert the estimated speed of movement in the video to a speed of operation of a sexual stimulation device.
Exoskeleton device emulation system
An exoskeleton system includes a cable, an exoskeleton device, a controller, and a motor. The exoskeleton device includes a frame comprising a first portion coupled to a second portion by a joint, a first crossbar supported by the first portion of the frame, and a second crossbar supported by the second portion of the frame. The first crossbar is configured to redirect the cable toward the second crossbar, and the cable is configured to affix to the second crossbar. The motor is connected to the cable and configured to cause the cable to provide a torque about the joint. The controller controls the motor to adjust the torque. The cable provides the torque by exerting a first force on the first crossbar and a second force on the second crossbar. The cable provides the torque about the joint in a first direction.
Vibration device
Methods and systems for providing distributed vibration therapy. The vibration device includes a plurality of vibration motors that are located along a grid. The vibration motors are embedded on a basal pad. A primary diffuser overlays the embedded the vibration motors. The device is portable and can be adaptable to a target body part.
NAVIGATION APPARATUS
Methods, systems, and apparatuses are described that are configured for determining a path of an apparatus, engaging a motor to cause the apparatus to proceed along the path, receiving one or more of LIDAR data, ultrasonic data, or optical flow data, determining, based on one or more of the LIDAR data, the ultrasonic data, or the optical flow data, one or more objects in the path of the apparatus, and engaging the motor to cause the apparatus to avoid the one or more objects.
LINEAR MOTION MALE SEXUAL STIMULATION DEVICE
An electromechanical device for male sexual stimulation that uses a reciprocal linear motion similar to sexual intercourse, and wherein the penis remains fully inserted during use. The reciprocal linear motion is generated by a small motor which drives a screw and nut mechanism, to which a bracket and gripper is attached. Inserted into the gripper is a flexible sleeve. A penis may be inserted into the device inside the flexible sleeve. The movement of the gripper and sleeve against the penis provides pressure and motion against the penis inside the sleeve in a manner similar to sexual intercourse. The speed, pattern, and location of the motion can be controlled by the user through controls on the outside of the device.
MASSAGE DEVICE AND OPERATION METHOD CAPABLE OF REPOSITIONING WHEN POWER FAILURE OCCURS
The present disclosure relates to a massage device capable of repositioning when a power failure occurs, comprising: an energy storage unit that stores electrical energy supplied from a power supply unit; an input unit that receives an input from a user when the electric energy supply is cut off from the power supply unit; a back angle actuator that receives, on the basis of the input unit, electric energy from the energy storage unit and moves a body massage unit such that the massage device is in an initial state; and a leg angle actuator that receives, on the basis of the input unit, electric energy from the energy storage unit and moves a leg massage unit such that the massage device is in an initial state.
FOOT AND LOWER LEG CLEANING AND TREATMENT DEVICE
A device for washing or treating the feet and lower legs of a user comprises an outer housing; a base assembly located in the outer housing; access means for providing access to a base assembly, a controller for controlling operation of the device, and a fluid supply mechanism. The base assembly includes a pair of footrests for supporting the feet and lower legs of a user during washing or treating, at least one rotatable transversely extending cleaning or treating assembly located above the footrest for washing or treating a user's feet; and a plurality of rotatable upright cleaning or treating assemblies for washing or treating the lower legs of the user. A ilting assembly is provided for tilting the base assembly relative to the outer housing through a plurality of inclined positions.
