METHODS, APPARATUSES AND SYSTEMS FOR APPLYING PRESSURE TO A NEWBORN BABY
The present disclosure relates to an apparatus for applying pressure to a newborn baby. The apparatus defines a cavity for holding the newborn baby therein, and a plurality of expandable conduits that each substantially surround the cavity, where each conduit is independently expandable: (1) on transfer of fluid from a fluid source into the conduit; (2) on application of an electric potential from an electric potential source to the conduit; or (3) a combination thereof, to apply pressure along at least a portion of the length of the newborn baby held in the cavity.. The present disclosure also discusses methods of applying pressure to a newborn baby in a pressure applying apparatus, and systems for applying pressure to a newborn baby.
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.
Tactile warning panel system with geothermal system
The present invention relates to tactile warning panels, and in particular to tactile warning panels that are designed and built with multifunction/multipurpose capabilities that serve the visually impaired and enable the deployment of smart city technology by integrating tactile warning systems and subsurface enclosures that can withstand pressures of five (5) tons up to and exceeding sixty (60) tons and incorporate small cells, beacons, sensors, Fog Computing, electric energy generation, rechargeable power supplies, wireless M2M communication and a plethora of other smart city technologies.
RF ELECTRODE CARTRIDGE FOR SKIN BEAUTY CARE TREATMENT AND HANDPIECE FOR SKIN BEAUTY CARE TREATMENT PROVIDED WITH SAME
Proposed is an RF electrode cartridge for skin beauty care treatment and a handpiece for skin beauty care treatment provided with the same. While being freely tilted for all ranges of 360 angle degrees around a ball joint part 140 within a radius thereof, the RF electrode body 120 moves in a state of being brought into close contact with the skin during the procedure, thereby preventing an accident that may occur while the RF electrode body 120 is spaced apart from the skin and in which damage to the skin tissue or burns to the skin may be caused. Accordingly, the present disclosure may greatly improve safety during a procedure.
Apparatus for stimulation
An apparatus for stimulation of erogenous body zones, such as a dildo and/or vibrator, having a through heating repeatedly moldable polymeric core (2) which becomes plastically moldable upon heating to a temperature above about 40° C., and which is dimensionally stable at normal body temperature and below. In result of its moldability, the apparatus can eliminate the need for separate articles for different kinds of stimulation. A tensile and elastic skin (3) encloses the polymeric core (2). The skin smoothens the shape of the apparatus and reduces the need for precision when reshaping the polymeric core.
TEMPERATURE CONTROLLED AND VIBRATING THERAPEUTIC STRAP ASSEMBLY
A wearable temperature control assembly includes a temperature control module comprising a contact and a thermal element configured to heat or cool the contact. The assembly also includes a primary strap configured to receive the temperature control module and secure the contact against a subject. The assembly also includes a secondary strap configured to be connected to the primary strap. The secondary strap is configured to provide adjustment of a pressure between the contact and the subject when the primary strap secures the contact to the subject.
Automatically adjusting comfort system
An automatically adjusting comfort method includes measuring pressure applied by a user via a pressure-sensor array, determining a pressure profile based on measurements from the pressure-sensor array, comparing the pressure profile to a first limit, determining a cumulative pressure profile over a predetermined duration, comparing the cumulative pressure profile to a second limit, and adjusting one or more of a plurality of adjusting mechanisms configured to alter the pressure profile for increased comfort of the user when the pressure profile exceeds the first limit or the second limit. An automatically adjusting comfort system includes a pressure-sensor array communicatively coupled to a controller for determining a cumulative pressure profile over time, and a plurality of adjusting mechanisms configured to alter the pressure profile to increase a user's comfort, wherein the controller automatically adjusts one or more of the plurality of adjusting mechanisms based on the cumulative pressure profile.
Water encapsulated and mechanical hybrid body massage chair with rapid heating and cooling control
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.
Mobile cold therapy device
A mobile, self-contained cold therapy device having a container including an internal liquid or ice water tank, air and water pumps for driving air and water to a cold therapy pad with internal air and water bladders, wherein the pad is worn on an injured region of a user. The device includes an electronic controller for controlling air and water flow to and from the bladders, and a holder for supporting the container and worn on the user's body for portable, hands-free mobility while receiving cold therapy. Nipples are incorporated into a thermal conduction surface of the pad and reciprocated into the user's injured region by an air bladder to further reduce edema.
Method and apparatus for upgrading a patient support apparatus to include an integrated patient therapy device
A therapy system includes a patient support apparatus and a pneumatic therapy device that is coupleable to the patient support apparatus. The therapy device may receive power and air flow from the patient support apparatus.
