A rail is provided at a part of the arm in a longitudinal direction. The rail includes channel-shaped parts extending along the longitudinal direction. The thigh-worn part is connected to sliding movable parts or integrated with at least a portion of the sliding movable parts. The bearing roller is disposed between each of the channel-shaped parts in the rail and each of inner wall surfaces of the sliding movable parts facing the respective channel-shaped parts.

Method of controlling walking assistance device and electronic device performing the method

A method for controlling an ankle-type walking assistance device may include measuring an angle of a joint of the walking assistance apparatus, calculating an angular velocity and a linear velocity of a frame of the walking assistance device using an inertial measurement unit (IMU) attached to the frame, generating a dynamics model for the walking assistance device based on the angle of the joint, the angular velocity and the linear velocity of the frame, calculating a disturbance applied to the walking assistance device based on the dynamics model, and controlling the walking assistance device based on the calculated force, equivalent, or wrench.

Linear motion male sexual stimulation device
RE049249 · 2022-10-18 · ·

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.

POWER-ASSIST CONTROL METHOD AND DEVICE FOR INTELLIGENT ROLLATOR, INTELLIGENT ROLLATOR, AND CONTROLLER
20230119433 · 2023-04-20 ·

A intelligent rollator has a vehicle body, a seat provided in the vehicle body for a person to sit or place items on, and front and rear wheels provided at the bottom of the wheels, driven by motors. A power-assist control method includes the following steps: obtaining the load weight of the vehicle body; and entering a first power-assist compensation mode to compensate the torque output of the motor according to a first power-assist compensation threshold, when the load weight is greater than a set threshold. The first power-assist compensation threshold is direct proportional to at least one of the following parameters: the load weight of the intelligent rollator, and the moving speed of the intelligent rollator. The intelligent rollator can be used safely even under the situations of huge different loads, as with load or not the motor torque output is prevented from being too large to drag the user to fall down, or when the user is seated the motor torque output is prevented from being too small and power is insufficient.
