An infant warming system includes a frame structure, a platform for supporting an infant that is connected to the frame structure, a radiant warmer supported on the frame structure above the platform, an ECG connection port configured to connect to ECG electrodes, and an ECG monitor housed on the frame structure, the ECG monitor receiving cardiac potentials from the ECG electrodes connected to the infant. The infant warming system further includes a control system configured to process the cardiac potentials to detect each heart beat of the infant, calculate a heart rate for the infant based on a detected heart beats, and display the heart rate on a display device associated with the infant warming system.

The invention relates to a device for cooling an organ locally, that includes an elongate stem including a far end intended to make contact with an organ to be cooled and comprising including a cooling element having a cold finger, a crystal that has a capacity to cool via excitation at a set excitation wavelength, said crystal being positioned adjacent to said cooling element, an optical guide that is able to convey a light signal at said excitation wavelength and that opens onto said crystal, and an illuminating system including at least one light source, which light source is arranged to emit said light signal.

Provided herein are methods of nerve blockage, for example for treatment of obesity, heart failure, cardiovascular disease, muscle spasms, chronic pain, or urinary retention in a patient. The method comprises first heating a nerve above physiological temperature (e.g., 37° C. in a human), such as from 43° C. to 54° C. for a duration that leads to reversible nerve blockage as opposed to nerve damage. Second, reversible nerve blockage is produced by cooling the nerve below physiological temperature to a temperature in which reversible nerve blockage is achieved, for example from 15° C. to 30° C.

Systems, methods, and devices used to treat eyelids, meibomian glands, ducts, and surrounding tissue are described herein. In some embodiments, an eye treatment device is disclosed, which includes a scleral shield positionable proximate an inner surface of an eyelid, the scleral shield being made of, or coated with, an energy-absorbing material activated by a light energy, and an energy transducer positionable outside of the eyelid, the energy transducer configured to provide light energy at one or more wavelengths, including a first wavelength selected to heat the energy-absorbing material.

An infant incubator heat control device includes a temperature-detecting device providing chamber interior and incubator heater temperature measured values. A first mode of operation has an interior temperature set value, a temperature of the heater set value is calculated as a function of the interior temperature set value and of the chamber interior temperature measured value. A controlled variable is calculated for the heater as a function of the temperature of the heater set value and of the heater measured value. A second mode of operation calculates a temperature of the heater set value independently of the chamber interior temperature measured value. A controlled variable is calculated for the heater as a function of the set value for the temperature of the heater and of the heater temperature measured value.

A moxibustion jar and a medicinal moxibustion device are provided. The moxibustion jar comprises a jar body (10), with a first opening (11) being formed on the bottom of the jar body (10); and, an adsorption chamber (20) which is arranged on the jar body (10). The adsorption chamber (20) is configured to absorb the jar body (10) onto an object to be cauterized, and the jar body (10) is configured to generate medicine vapor and allow the medicine vapor to reach the first opening (11) to come into contact with the object to be cauterized. In this moxibustion jar, by providing the adsorption chamber (20) on the jar body (10), the moxibustion jar can be absorbed onto the surface of the skin of a human body. On this basis, a medicine liquid evaporation device (30) evaporates a liquid medicine to form medicine vapor, so that the gas pressure inside the jar body (10) is increased and the absorption rate of the skin is thus improved. Moreover, the moxibustion jar and the medicinal moxibustion device are simple and clean, and have few operation limitations and better therapeutic effects.

A seat includes a seat bottom and a seat back. At least one of the seat bottom and the seat back includes a trim cover having a seating surface and a plurality of individually-controllable massage elements underlying the trim cover. Each of the plurality of individually-controllable massage elements has a surface facing the trim cover, wherein at least a portion of the surface includes a heating layer selectively configured to generate heat.

A care travel system which provides comfort and relief from headaches. It holds an ice pack or other chilled items against the head, neck, and shoulders. The device counteracts fevers when facing an illness. It effectively eliminates the need to take medication, which can make people sleepy and groggy or cause an allergic reaction. As designed it prevents soreness and discomfort that typically manifests during travel.

A therapy system in which one or more eye patches are used to apply thermal energy to meibomian glands of an eye of a user to improve the release of meibum. The system comprises includes a headband which is worn by a user and in which a control unit is provided. At least one eye patch is provided which is connectable to the control unit. Each eye patch includes an outer area, an inner area with a flexible heating element located in the inner area. Electrical connections are used to connect the flexible heating element to the control unit to provide at least heat therapy to at least the meibomian gland in the eyelids. A charging unit is provided for recharging a rechargeable battery in the control unit.

A bed for therapeutic and recreational applications, comprises a frame structure, a mattress provided on the frame structure of the bed, a plurality of Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) configured to emit electromagnetic radiation, an infrared heater assembly provided within the frame structure, the infrared heater assembly including a plurality of flexible heating elements connected with a power source, a plurality of temperature sensors provided at a plurality of locations on the frame structure and the mattress in order to generate signals in correlation with temperature values at the plurality of locations. Further, the frame structure includes a plurality of frame segments adapted to rotate to respective predetermined angles. Also, the mattress is made from at least partially transparent material and includes a fluid that is at least partially transparent.
