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.
REHABILITATION SYSTEM BASED ON BRAINWAVE CONTROL
A rehabilitation system based on brainwave control includes a rehabilitation device, a brainwave device and a control unit. The rehabilitation device includes a power unit and a rehabilitation unit. The control unit is coupled with the rehabilitation device and the brainwave device. In a state where the power unit provides the predetermined output to control the rehabilitation unit to drive the rehabilitation part to move, the control unit receives the brainwave signal and determines whether the brainwave signal is lower than a stimulation threshold. In a state where the brainwave signal is lower than the stimulation threshold, the control unit sends an adjustment signal to control the power unit to adjust the predetermined output to drive the rehabilitation unit to move.
METHOD AND SYSTEM OF SLEEP MAINTENANCE
A method and system of sleep maintenance includes configuring a stimulation device comprising a transducer to emit a transcutaneous vibratory output to a body part of a subject, receiving physiological data of the subject from at least one sensor at a processor, providing a stimulation pattern for the transcutaneous vibratory output to be emitted by the transducer, the stimulation pattern comprising a perceived pitch, a perceived beat, and an intensity of the transcutaneous vibratory output, causing the transducer to emit the transcutaneous vibratory output in the stimulation pattern, determining a sleep state of the subject based on the physiological data, and altering the stimulation pattern based on the sleep state, wherein altering comprises at least one of (i) reducing a frequency of the perceived pitch, (ii) increasing an interval of the perceived beat, or (iii) reducing the intensity.

CONTROL OF SEXUAL STIMULATION DEVICES USING ELECTROENCEPHALOGRAPHY
A system and method for thought-based control of sexual stimulation devices using electroencephalography. In an embodiment, a training phase comprises placing electrodes on the head of a person, measuring electrical signals produced by the person's brain via the electrodes while the user engages in one or more thought-based training tasks, associating patterns of electrical activity in the person's brain while performing the tasks with controls of the sexual stimulation device. In an embodiment, an operation phase comprises generating control signals for the sexual stimulation device based on the associations when the patterns of electrical activity are detected by the electrodes. In some embodiments, machine learning algorithms are used to detect the patterns of electrical activity and make the associations. In some embodiments, data from other biometric sensors is included in the associations.
EXOSKELETON FOR ASSISTING HUMAN MOVEMENT
The invention relates to an exoskeleton for assisting human movement, which can be fitted to the user in terms of dimensions, tension and ranges of joint motion, either manually or automatically. Said exoskeleton can be fitted to the user in the anteroposterior direction in the sagittal plane, with the user in a horizontal or sitting position, without requiring a functional transfer. The exoskeleton has a modular design which is compatible with human biomechanics and reproduces a natural and physiological movement in the user, with up to 7 actuated and controlled degrees of movement per limb, ensuring that the user maintains equilibrium during locomotion.
Systems and methods for exerting force on bodies
Systems and methods for exerting forces on a body, including a support structure defining a space and a plurality of surface contacting units that are configured to exert force upon the body, such that the weight is distributed away from the primary weight bearing regions to non-weight bearing regions of the body, or vice versa, without exerting significant shear or frictional forces on surfaces of the body. The systems and methods may be used to exert forces to cause fluid shift in different compartments of the body. Applications include treatment of various disease conditions including pressure ulcers, heart failure, high blood pressure, preeclampsia, osteoporosis, injuries of spine and to slow microgravity-induced bone and muscle loss. The systems and methods may be used to simulate gravity, weightlessness or buoyancy, in rehabilitation medicine. The system may include a chair, bed, a wearable suit or an exoskeleton.
Apparatus for management of a Parkinson's disease patient's gait
A gait management apparatus applies stimulation to a user suffering from a neurological disease (such as Parkinson's Disease) gait dysfunction. Motion sensors are arranged to be worn by a patient, and electrical stimulation electrodes are on the legs for stimulation. A controller receives motion sensing signals, and processes these signals to generate stimulation signals for operation of the electrodes to stimulate limb movement upon detection of a gait abnormality. There may be a user actuator for user actuation of electrical stimulation, and the inputs may be a series of taps. The controller may provide signals to prevent occurrence of freezing of gait when it senses that a patient is walking or has an intention to walk. Also, it may apply stimulation at an intensity level which is insufficient for functional muscle stimulation but sufficiently high to trigger activation of efferent nerves.
Data acquisition and analysis of human sexual response using a personal massaging device
Methods and systems are disclosed for capturing sensor data collected by a personal massaging device with associated sensors, analyzing the data, determining biofeedback data based on the sensor data, and according to some embodiments generating a sexual response profile based on the biofeedback data and a model of human sexual response. Data may be collected and analyzed for a number of uses, including but not limited to: (1) studying human sexual response, (2) adjusting outputs of the personal massaging device based on preset conditions, (3) treating sexual dysfunction conditions, and (4) improving sexual experiences.
