Soft knee exoskeleton driven by negative-pressure linear actuator
The present invention discloses a soft knee exoskeleton driven by a negative-pressure linear actuator, including: an exoskeleton controller, a left leg knee joint soft actuator, a right leg knee joint soft actuator and the like. The soft knee exoskeleton mainly uses a miniature vacuum negative pressure pump as an air pressure power source. A DSP embedded control system performs real-time processing on the data, such as a muscle force, a knee joint angle and a human-machine interaction force, detected by a sensing system, estimates a human-machine cooperation state, and performs real-time control on the switching of the negative pressure flow and an air channel of the miniature vacuum negative pressure pump.

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.
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.
