A control unit is signally connected to the drive mechanisms of the lens adjusting units for controlling operation of the same.

An eye massaging device comprises a main body, a water bag, a control unit, a cover, and a fixing ring. The temperature of the circulating water tank may be sensed by a thermal sensor and then feedback the temperature signal to a microprocessor. The microprocessor may control to drive a heating member to increase temperature and stop increasing temperature so as to effectively control the operation temperature and prevent from transient blindness resulting from being not able to effectively control the temperature.

The present invention provides an agent for preventing and/or improving photoaging and/or dermal pigmentation comprising Thujae Semen extract as an active ingredient. The present invention also provides a cosmetic method which includes a step for applying the agent for preventing and/or improving photoaging and/or dermal pigmentation to skin to be treated, and a cosmetic device to be applied in said method.

Presently provided is a method and system for providing whole body vibration therapy to a patient. The system has a table configured to hold a patient and a vibrational footplate extending outwardly from a foot of the table. The vibrational footplate is configured and disposed to vibrate and to provide whole body vibration to the patient upon the patient placing their feet thereon. An actuator is configured and disposed to adjust an inclination of the table to provide varying degrees of whole body vibration therapy to the patient. The method comprises providing whole body vibration sessions with varying degrees of whole body vibration therapy.

A vibrotactile stimulation device intended to be applied against a body medium (MC) to be stimulated, produced in the form of a functional unit, comprising a vibrating effector suitable for applying, to said medium, pulses of mechanical vibrational energy, and a controller for controlling the effector according to stimulation rules. The functional unit further houses a first electrode suitable for cooperating with at least one second electrode separated from the first electrode in order to supply signals representative of a cardiac activity and a muscular activity on the medium to be stimulated, said controller being sensitive to cardiac activity and muscular activity signals in order to influence the stimulation. The stimulation device may be used for body stimulation in combating sleep apnea, with improved detection.

A vibrotactile stimulation device intended to be applied against a body environment (MC) to be stimulated and comprising a vibrating effector suitable for applying, to said environment, pulses of mechanical vibrational energy, and a controller controlling the effector according to stimulation rules. The device is remarkable in that it further comprises vibration detector suitable for being exposed to the body environment in order to receive a part of the vibrational energy transmitted to said means by said environment during the application of the pulses of vibrational energy, and determine a transmission characteristic of the vibrational energy between the effector and the environment to be stimulated, said vibration detector being linked to the controller. An application to improving the efficacy of body stimulation in combating sleep apnoea is also disclosed.

A system or method for motor rehabilitation of a paretic limb including: a first plurality of sensors for registering brain neurosignals; a body-actuator; a hybrid brain machine interface for decoding brain neurosignals into movements of the body-actuator; a second plurality of EMG sensors couplable to the paretic limb for registering its EMG activity; a device for providing the patient with instructions relative to a series of exercises and/or tasks to be carried out with the paretic limb;
wherein upon carrying out a series of training sessions, each session comprising at least a set of such instructions, the hybrid brain machine interface is configured to switch between controlling the movements of the body-actuator based on the decoded brain neurosignals and a hybrid control of the movements of the body-actuator, when a significant level of decodable EMG activity has been registered, the hybrid control being an EMG-gated brain control.

A wearable acupressure device (WAD) is described that may include one or more pockets with one or more beads to apply pressure at various points on the body. The bead may be domed or marble shaped. The WAD may be worn on one or more portions of the body, including the arm, leg, head and foot. Also, the bead may be used for aromatherapy.

An emergency management system having an ice water immersion bag capable of rapidly cooling an overheated individual's body through its combination of elements, apertures, and capacity. An overheated individual is placed within the ice immersion bag, yet the individual's body may still be accessed in the event of a medical emergency through the use of one of the many openings presented throughout the bag. The openings otherwise remain sealed and waterproof to prevent the ice water from escaping the bag, further effectuating ice water immersion to rapidly cool the overheated individual.
