Baby soothing devices
Devices for soothing a baby may simulate the feel of massage by a caregiver with a circular massaging motion. An apparel component, such as a swaddle blanket or sleep sack, may be configured to receive the device. At least one clip may facilitate placement of the device.
Smart knee brace for post-surgery rehabilitation
A smart knee brace including a knee brace, multiple thigh bands, multiple shin bands, and multiple brace straps removably attached to one another and multiple motion actuators and sensors. Each motion actuator is connected to one brace strap and each sensor is connected to one motion actuator to measure an orientation of corresponding brace strap and generate a motion signal. A computing device receives the motion signals from the sensors; measures a current range of motion of the thigh, the shin, and the knee, and, based on the received motion signals, and generates drive signals based on the measured current range of motion. A native smart knee brace computer application on a smart phone of the user is operatively connected to the computing device and a cloud application server provide higher level analysis of the motions of the smart knee brace.
Providing enhanced images for navigation
Systems and methods relating to displaying images are disclosed. In one embodiment, sensor data is received via one or more sensors of a wearable head device comprising a display, the sensor data indicative of a surrounding environment of a user of the wearable head device. An image can be determined based on the sensor data, the image corresponding to the surrounding environment. A visibility of a first portion of the image corresponding to a first portion of the surrounding environment can be enhanced. Enhancing a visibility of a second portion of the image corresponding to a second portion of the surrounding environment can be forgone. The enhanced first portion of the image and a view of the second portion of the surrounding environment can be presented concurrently via the display of the wearable head device.
VOICE-BASED CONTROL OF SEXUAL STIMULATION DEVICES
A system and method for voice-based control of sexual stimulation devices. In some configurations, the system and method involve receiving voice data, analyzing the voice data to detect spoken commands, and generating control signals based on the commands. In some configurations, the system and method involve receiving voice data, analyzing the voice data for non-speech vocalizations, detecting voice stress patterns, and generating control signals based on the detected patterns. In some configurations, the analyses of the voice data are performed by machine learning algorithms which may be trained on associations between speech and non-speech vocalizations of a user while the user engages in one or more voice-based training tasks, associating speech and non-speech vocalizations with controls of the sexual stimulation device. In some configurations, machine learning algorithms are used to make the associations. In some configurations, data from other biometric sensors is included in the associations.
WALKING SUPPORT SYSTEM
When there is an area that cannot be confirmed as a white line based on an image acquired by a camera, it is determined that the area that cannot be confirmed as the white line is an area that can be regarded as the white line, on condition that the area that cannot be confirmed as the white line is located in an area between a first straight line connecting edges of one ends of the area that can be confirmed as the white line in a longitudinal direction of the white line and extension lines of the first straight line, and a second straight line connecting edges of the other ends and extension lines of the second straight line. For the area that can be regarded as the white line, a shape of the area in the image is set to a shape as a white line.
METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR MULTIMODAL STIMULATION
A system for providing multimodal stimulation to a user includes a tactile device including a set of tactile actuators. Additionally, the system can include and/or interface with a user device, a remote computing system, and/or any other devices. A method for multimodal stimulation functions to provide therapy to a user for tinnitus or other conditions, and includes any or all of: receiving a set of inputs; determining a set of outputs; providing the set of outputs to a user; and adjusting any or all of the set of outputs.
SEXUAL STIMULATION METHOD AND SEXUAL STIMULATION APPARATUS
Disclosed are a sexual stimulation method and a sexual stimulation apparatus. The method includes obtaining a video segment, wherein the video segment includes a sexual stimulation scenario; parsing the video segment and generating a chronological sexual stimulation parameter set corresponding to the video segment; and playing, by a video play device, the video segment; and synchronously performing, by a sexual stimulation apparatus, a multi-dimensional stimulation operation according to the chronological sexual stimulation parameter set.
DEVICES, SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR TREATING PAIN WITH ELECTRICAL STIMULATION
Devices, systems and methods are provided for treating migraine headaches and other conditions by non-invasive electrical stimulation of nerves and other tissue. A hand-held device includes a housing with a controller having a signal generator, an electrode for delivering electrical signals, and a conductive surface configured as a return path for the electrical signals. In certain implementations, the electrode is repositionable with respect to the housing. The patient can self-apply the hand-held device by pressing it against areas in need of pain relief. The device may include a pressure-sensitive gating switch to control delivery of the stimulation therapy. In certain embodiments, the electrode is a rollerball electrode. The device may include a chamber for retaining and dispensing conductive gel to the therapy site. In certain approaches, the device includes an electrode support for coupling an electrical stimulation system to the head for hands-free electrical stimulation therapy.
REHABILITATION SUPPORT APPARATUS, METHOD THEREFOR, AND PROGRAM
An apparatus for supporting rehabilitation of a user includes a detector that detects a direction of a head of the user wearing a head mounted display, and a display controller that generates, in a virtual space, a rehabilitation target object to be visually recognized by the user and displays the target object on the head mounted display in accordance with the direction of the head of the user detected by the detector. To avoid risk that the user interferes with an object in a real space, the display controller further controls display of the head mounted display.
DYNAMIC REACTIVE SYSTEM AND METHOD TO SUPPORT AND CHANGE SITTING POSTURES
There is provided a dynamic and proactive system for supporting sitting while detecting and changing sitting postures of a user and method of operation thereof. The system including a frame, a plurality of supports, each configured to support a different body part, and a plurality of joints each configured to move independently of or together with any other of the joints, each of the supports is connected to the frame via a corresponding joint, at least one of the joints is a two dimensional joint which enables a change in angle between the frame and a corresponding support. Each one of the plurality of supports is configured to move with respect to the frame or to another support, thereby enabling any changes in sitting postures of the user. The system comprises sensors, which based on their readings, the system detects user postures and suggests or creates posture changes.
