Neck fan
A neck fan includes an arc-shaped shell configured to hang around user's neck and at least four fan assemblies arranged in the shell. The shell includes a first part and a second part. Each of the first part and the second part defines an accommodating space, air inlets and air outlets communicated with the accommodating space, at least one partition is arranged in the accommodating space and configured to divide the accommodating space into at least two accommodating parts arranged along an extension direction of the shell. Each of the fan assemblies is arranged in one of the at least two accommodating parts and is configured to direct air into the one of the at least two accommodating parts through corresponding air inlets and to direct air out of the one of the at least two accommodating parts through corresponding air outlets.
Hyperthermic conditioning capsule
A self-contained, hyperthermic conditioning unit and selectively controllable environment for exercising. The unit comprises a base portion having a bed therein and a removable cover connected to the base portion to enclose a personal compartment within the unit. One or more heating elements provide heat to the personal compartment and one more pieces of physical exercise equipment are provided within the personal compartment.
AESTHETIC METHOD OF BIOLOGICAL STRUCTURE TREATMENT BY MAGNETIC FIELD
A device for enhancement of visual appearance including a first applicator to be coupled to a first area of a body region, with a first magnetic field generating device and a first radiofrequency electrode, a second applicator to be coupled to a second area of the body region, with a second magnetic field generating device. The device further includes a first energy storage device, a second energy storage device, and a first switching device to discharge energy from the first energy storage device to the first magnetic field generating to generate a first time-varying magnetic field to cause muscle contraction, and a second switching to discharge energy from the second energy storage device to the second magnetic field generating device to generate a second time-varying magnetic field. The first radiofrequency electrode may provide first radiofrequency waves causing heating of tissue within the first area of the body region.
SYSTEMIC CRYOTHERAPY DEVICE WITH ENGINE ROOM ASSEMBLY
The subject of the invention is a device for systemic cryotherapy with an engine room assembly (22) comprising a cryochamber and the engine room assembly (22), which comprises an upper inlet channel housing (8), which is connected, on the bottom, to a ventilation fitting housing (1) connected, on the bottom, to a heat exchanger (2) housing, wherein a cryogenic liquid supply (19) and cryogenic liquid vapour discharge (20) system is located on the side wall, and the lower flange of the heat exchanger (2) is connected to the lower outlet channel housing (3), and the device is connected to a power supply system, characterised in that the upper inlet channel housing (8) is L-shaped, and a duct fan (15) is located in the ventilation fitting housing (1), wherein a heater (9) is located between the ventilation fitting (1) and the heat exchanger (2).
Brain cooling method and portable device
A noninvasive, brain cooling method and device for cerebral cooling via a patient's nasopharyngeal cavity, is described. Thermal conductive nasal prongs are inserted into a nasal cavity and are cooled by thermoelectric cooling elements. An outward air driving fan inside the device drives a cold air current through the nasal and oral cavities. Heat transfer between the cold air and the surface of the nasal cavity cools the nasal cavity, which in turn, cools a patient's brain. Real-time temperature sensing data provides feedback for closed-loop cooling control.
Method and apparatus for uniform total body cryotherapy
In accordance with one embodiment, a uniform total body cryotherapy method and apparatus operative to allow an individual in a cryotherapy chamber to be subjected to the same cold temperatures on their entire body at the same time. In use, the apparatus allows active dissemination of cold air in a confined space without the undesired consequence of wind shear commonly caused by forced movement of cold air.
SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR COOLING THE BRAIN OF A HUMAN SUBJECT
A system for cooling the brain of a human subject, includes a cooling subsystem which inputs a flow of air or breathable gas, cool the air or breathable gas, and output cooled air or breathable gas which is delivered to a human subject. A flow control device controls a flow rate of the flow of the air or breathable gas input to the cooling subsystem and a flow rate of the cooled air or breathable gas delivered to the human subject. One or more flow rate sensors measure at least a flow rate of flow of cooled air or breathable gas. One or more temperature sensors measure at least a temperature of a brain and the temperature of the flow of cooled air or breathable gas. A controller adjusts a cooling rate, the temperature, and the flow rate of flow of cooled air or breathable gas delivered to the human subject to cool the brain of the human subject.
Non-contact, infrared sensing temperature activated controller for abatement of effects of hot flashes in a human body
A directable, portable appliance in combination with an adjustable set-point digital temperature controller for non-contact remotely monitoring infrared temperatures of a selected area of human skin and activating an electrical fan for directing cooling air over the selected skin areas of individuals experiencing episodes of thermal chaos, i.e., hot flashes.
NECK FAN
A neck fan includes: an inner shell, disposed near the neck; an outer shell, connected to the inner shell and disposed opposite to the inner shell and away from the neck. The outer shell and the inner shell cooperatively define a receiving space; a plurality of fan assemblies. Each fan assembly is received in the receiving space and connected to the inner shell and the outer shell. The inner shell defines a plurality of air inlets, located near and facing towards the neck. At least a part of the receiving space serves as an air duct communicating with the air inlets. Each fan assembly corresponds to the air inlets. Each fan assembly is configured to intake air from an outside of the neck fan through the air inlets and to further drive the air to flow into the air duct.
Neck fan
A neck fan includes an arc-shaped shell and a fan assembly. The arc-shaped shell is configured to be worn around a neck of a user. The shell has a first side and a second side opposite to the first side. Each of the first side and the second side defines air inlets. At least one of the first side and the second side defines air outlets. The shell further defines a receiving space, and the receiving space includes an air duct communicating with the air inlets and outlets. The fan assembly is received in the receiving space and configured to drive the air to flow from the air inlets of both sides, through the air duct, reaching the air outlets.
