A vibration appliance includes a vibration-isolation structure which substantially reduces vibration felt by the user at the handle. The vibration motor is mounted to a vibration plate which carries the massage node. The vibration plate floats within the vibration appliance housing, being suspended by a flexible, elastomer membrane having contours such as curves or folds in it that provide freedom of movement of the vibration plate relative to the housing to which the flexible membrane is mounted. This arrangement can be thought of as the motor and vibration node being mounted on a flexible diaphragm that can move freely as if mounted to the housing by a bellows-like arrangement.

An adjustable foundation and process includes a mattress support surface including a head/back section hingedly connected to an intermediate section at one end and a leg/foot section hingedly connected to the intermediate section at another end, wherein the intermediate section includes a first second portions, wherein the first portion is hingedly connected to the head/back section and the second portion is hingedly connected to the leg/foot section. The intermediate section is configured to increase in length upon articulation of the head/back section and/or the leg/foot section from a flat position or an increase in inclination of any section. Likewise, the intermediate section is configured to decrease in length upon articulation of the head/back section and/or the leg/ foot section from an inclined position to a flat position or a decrease in length upon declination of any section.

A system and method for mind-body relaxation may include a plurality of vibration modules, a light-providing member, a controller, a relaxation substrate, a pillow member, a graphical user interface (GUI), and network connection circuitry.

A garment assembly includes a sleeve member having outer and inner surfaces, a first vibration assembly associated with the sleeve member, and a control module associated with the sleeve member. The first vibration assembly includes a plurality of vibration motors that are arranged in a circle about a center point. An angular distance between each vibration motor of the plurality of vibration motors is approximately the same. The control module includes a battery, and the first vibration assembly is in electrical communication with the control module.

A massaging shoe including a shoe body portion formed of a vibration transmitting material and having an interior surface which includes a multiplicity of integrally formed raised surface elements and a vibrator operative to generate vibrations, the vibrations being transmitted via the vibration transmitting material and the integrally formed raised surface elements to a foot of a wearer of the shoe.

The vibration capsule has a movement generation unit, a movement control unit, a wireless communication unit and a power supply. The movement control unit provides instructions to the movement generation unit, which generates movements in configurable frequencies and duty cycles. The power supply unit provides power to the movement generation unit through movement control unit, which also decides work period and rest period for the capsule device. The vibration capsule device further includes a capsule movement detection unit, which includes at least one sensor unit and provides information to the wireless communication unit.

A personal therapy device, directed generally to an elongated sexual stimulation device for female use having advanced shape motion control and shape transformation. In one embodiment, the device has a flexible outer body elongated in a longitudinal direction and a shape memory alloy (SMA) thrust actuator disposed within the flexible outer body. In another embodiment, the device includes one or more skeletal segments which are disposed within the flexible outer body and capable of deformation in various directions. In yet another embodiment, the device includes one or more rotational servo motor pair units, where each rotational servo motor of the rotational servo motor pair has an eccentric weight, and the synchronized rotation of the eccentric weight pair generates a net lateral wobbling motion. In yet another embodiment, the device includes an external positioning sensor unit, an inertial measurement unit, one or more pressure sensors, or a combination thereof.
