A motor vehicle seat, having a seat massage system which has one, or a plurality of, fluid-fillable massage bladder(s), has a cushion which comprises a first side facing the seat occupant and a second side opposite the first side. The massage bladder(s) is/are arranged on the second side of the cushion such that filling the massage bladder(s) causes a pressure of the filled massage bladder(s) on pressure regions of the cushion and thus a deformation of the cushion. At least one of the pressure regions is surrounded by a recess present in the cushion.

The invention relates to a device (V) for dry water-jet massage, comprising: a tub (W), which is filled with massage water and runs from a head end to a foot end in the longitudinal direction and from a left side to a right side in the transverse direction, having a film material (F) as a cover closing the tub (W) water-tight on the top side, which film material is simultaneously used as a lying surface for a person (Pe) to be treated and allows the transmission of pressure pulses; a nozzle cart (1), which can be moved in the longitudinal direction of the tub (W) and bears at least two nozzles (D, D′, D″), which nozzles (D, D′, D″) can be fed with massage water from the tub (W) by means of a pump (P) in order to eject one water jet per nozzle against the bottom side of the film material (F); a first drive (3) for the forward and backward movement of the nozzle cart (1) in the longitudinal direction of the tub (W), the at least two nozzles (D, D′) moving forward and backward in the longitudinal direction of the tub (W) with the movement of the nozzle cart (1); and a second drive (5, ZR, Z), which moves the nozzles (D, D′) in the transverse direction of the tub (W). A device by means of which regions of the body of the person that are at a distance from the plane of the film can also be treated is achieved in that the film material (F) has one or more cavities on the bottom side of the film, which run in the transverse direction, are directed at the person (PE) lying on the film material (M) and shape the film (F) into one or more elevated portions (100), which are convex on the top side of the film.

A chair is disclosed for providing water and air adjustable massage. The massage chair includes a surface that is easy to clean, and water-filled rollers within the chair to apply a massaging effect to the body of the user thereon. Each water-filled roller incorporates a foam inner roller that is surrounded by either a cylindrical water-filled wrap or water-filled inserts. The massage chair incorporates a leg section to perform a percussive and vibrating massage on the legs of the user thereon. The massage chair has the ability to recline and to apply heat and/or cooling to the user thereon. The massage chair incorporates auto-sensing controls, massage pattern software, and Cloud Control Software that enables the owner in a commercial environment to establish the time for use, frequency, and price for the massage session.

The dry-immersion bed of the present invention is suitable for intensive care units (ICUs) and fulfills the function of providing treatment for diseases such as capillary leak syndrome. The dry immersion bed fulfills the function of recovering cardiovascular physiology by normalizing the systemic distribution of water, albumin and electrolytes, and improving lymphatic drainage, venous return, cardiac output, cell metabolism and immunity.

A mobile, self-contained cold therapy device having a container including an internal liquid or ice water tank, air and water pumps for driving air and water to a cold therapy pad with internal air and water bladders, wherein the pad is worn on an injured region of a user. The device includes an electronic controller for controlling air and water flow to and from the bladders, and a holder for supporting the container and worn on the user's body for portable, hands-free mobility while receiving cold therapy. Nipples are incorporated into a thermal conduction surface of the pad and reciprocated into the user's injured region by an air bladder to further reduce edema.

Systems and methods for operating a vending machine and/or kiosk. The methods comprise: detecting a presence of a person in a seat of the vending machine; obtaining a full or partial body heat map for the person that was created based on sensor data generated by at least one sensor of the vending machine or at least one sensor located in proximity to the vending machine (the full or partial heat map showing relative temperatures of different parts of a body of the person); selecting at least one vending service parameter for the vending machine using information obtained based on the full or partial body heat map; and causing the vending machine to provide the person with a vending service in accordance with the at least one vending service parameter that was selected.

Fluid therapy, for example including spray water at along a user's body, have been found to provide various advantages both as a medical therapeutic technique for treating various physical ailments as well as to improve comfort of a user generally. Embodiments provide therapeutic fluid apparatus(es) and methods of using said therapeutic fluid apparatus(es). One example therapeutic fluid apparatus includes fluid outlets at particular positions of the apparatus to enable spraying of a fluid drawn from the environment around the apparatus at particular points along a user. Some embodiment therapeutic fluid apparatus(es) are removable from the environment(s) from which they draw fluid for use, such that the therapeutic fluid apparatus(es) can be positioned within such environment(s) without permanently altering the environment and/or otherwise affixing the therapeutic fluid apparatus within the environment. Some such therapeutic fluid apparatus(es) are similarly constructed of lightweight materials to facilitate portability of the therapeutic fluid apparatus(es).

A stimulation device is described having a pressure field generating device which has a cavity and a medium influencing arrangement. The stimulation device uses a first check valve arrangement, arranged inside the cavity between the application opening and the medium-influencing arrangement, and is movable at least in sections in the direction of the application opening and away from it and has a first check valve which is designed to close in the direction of the application opening and to open in the direction of the medium influencing arrangement, wherein the cavity has a first section and a second section, and a second check valve arrangement, which connects the first section of the cavity to an outside of the stimulation device and has a second check valve.

An apparatus, system and method are disclosed for manipulating a user's erogenous zone. The apparatus includes a chamber, a plurality of baffling elements, and a concentration member. The chamber has a first end opposing a second end. The first end of the chamber is communicable in water receiving communication with a water source. The plurality of baffling elements are positioned within the chamber and are configured to interrupt a flow of water received from the first end of the chamber. The concentration member defines a channel having a water receiving end and a water dispensing end. The channel has a converging cross-sectional area in a direction from the water receiving end to the water dispensing end with the water receiving end communicable in water receiving communication with water flowing past the baffling elements.
