Flexible pressure-sensing pad and manufacturing method
10856737 · 2020-12-08 · ·

The present invention relates to a flexible pressure-sensing pad and manufacturing method thereof. The flexible pressure-sensing pad includes a first fabric substrate layer, a second fabric substrate layer, and a fabric barrier layer provided between the first fabric substrate layer and the second fabric substrate layer. The first fabric substrate layer includes a first electrode and the second fabric substrate layer includes a second electrode. The fabric barrier layer has multiple through holes. The first electrode and the second electrode are electrically connected with a controller. Compared with the current pressure-sensing pad, the present invention is thinner and more flexible, has superior breathability and waterproofness, does not generate an irritating noise, creates a quiet recuperative environment for patients and can sense an external force over the entire pressure sensing pad without any blind spots, thereby providing better user experience.

Power seat system for sensing motor reverse rotation and method thereof

A power seat system includes: a motor that changes a position of a power seat by performing a rotational operation; a Hall sensor that senses a change in Hall voltage according to the rotation of the motor and outputs a pulse signal; and a motor reverse rotation detection unit that monitors outputs from the motor and the Hall sensor, and detects an occurrence of a reverse pulse according to a motor reverse rotation when a motor current overshooting section and a change in pulse signal value are simultaneously detected in accordance with stop of the motor.

Method for fabricating anatomical cushion and device to capture pressure controlled shape
10813461 · 2020-10-27 · ·

A method for fabricating a custom anatomical cushion and a device to capture pressure controlled shape is provided. The device comprises, generally, a flexible membrane enclosing floating beads adapted to be completely immersed and freely moving inside a fluid. The device further comprises a mesh adapted to stop the floating beads from going outside of the flexible membrane as a result of a pressure increase or decrease inside the flexible membrane. The device is being fluidly connected to a pressure control system adapted to increase and/or decrease the internal pressure of the flexible membrane and comprises a vibration/leveling system adapted to adjust the fluid level inside the flexible membrane.

Biofeedback Chair System
20200329884 · 2020-10-22 · ·

An interactive chair with an optional headset comprising integrated electrocardiogram and electroencephalography sensors and pulsed electromagnetic field generators along with other input and outputs necessary for a user's experience to be manipulated by a computer from the user's present state, ab initio, or from the user's present state in conjunction with other media; thereby allowing a user of the chair to integrate a wide variety of physical and electromagnetic biofeedback experiences into their daily lives. When used in conjunction with media, the chair allows the user to experience media in a manner that is not predetermined by the media alone, but also by the user's current physical experience; thus, adding additional variable dimensions to the experience of the media.
