Many devices with limbs or arms are susceptible to damage when a user bends or twists a joint of the limb or arm beyond its design point or in a direction other than intended. This is common with children's toys. Accordingly, it would be beneficial to provide children with toys employing fluidic actuators that can be bent, twisted, deformed and yet recover subsequently allowing the intended motion to be performed. Further, it would be beneficial by providing devices that employ fluidic actuators, and hence are essentially non-mechanical, to provide users not only of toys but other devices with driving mechanisms that are not susceptible to wear-out such as, by stripping drive gears, etc., thereby increasing their reliability and reducing noise. Fluidic devices allow for high efficiency, high power to size ratio, low cost, limited or single moving part(s) and allow for mechanical springless designs as well as functional reduction by providing a piston which is both pump and vibrator.

A fluid pump assembly is provided. The pump has a pair of units magnetically coupled to each other. The first unit contains a drive motor and a magnetic assembly. The second unit contains a magnetic assembly and a blade of a propeller/impeller for imparting movement to a fluid. As the first unit is activated by the drive motor, a magnetic flux is created which in turn rotates the magnetic assembly in the second unit, driving the blade.

A personal hygiene capsule has a housing. a toilet. at least one spray nozzle. a drain provided in a lower portion of the housing. and at least one scrub brush operably mounted to wash at least a portion of an occupant of the personal hygiene capsule. Methods of using the personal hygiene capsule are provided.

A sitting toilet having a foot health care device attached thereto includes: a main body which includes an accommodation part, which is in the front lower end and has an accommodation space in which the foot health care device is accommodated, and a toilet water tank and a wastewater duct which are formed across the upper end and the rear lower end; and a foot health care device having an inner space in which a user's feet are placed and a foot washing tank in which a sewage outlet is formed at the lower end. The inner space of the foot washing tank in which the user's feet are placed is opened as the foot health care device slides forward from the accommodation part of the main body, and the foot health care device is accommodated in the main body as the foot health care device slides backward.

A hand and foot bathing device for facilitating a user to perform Wudu in accordance to the Muslim faith includes a bathtub that has a perimeter wall which has a height that is no greater than 15.0 cm to facilitate a user to easily step into the bathtub to perform Wudu in accordance with the Muslim faith. The perimeter wall has an entry which has a height that is less than the height of the perimeter wall to facilitate the user to enter the bathtub without having to step over the perimeter wall. A bench is mounted to the perimeter wall of the bathtub to facilitate the user to sit on the bench. In this way the user can wash their hands and feet and face in a seated position while the user performs Wudu. Furthermore, the bench has an adjustable height to accommodate the height of the user.

A system for treatment of wounds consists of a treatment housing, a fluid delivery mechanism for supplying debridement fluids to the wound treatment area, an evacuation mechanism for evacuation of debris from the treatment chamber. A handheld device is connected to the treatment housing, wherein its interior accommodates a laser source, a scanning device, an image recording device and at least one sensor/detector, a control unit having a microprocessor for controlling operation of the system. The sensors detect concentration of various substances in the wound, and microprocessors analyze data obtained by the sensors and generate signals to adjust parameters of the laser, the liquid dispensing nozzles and the suction outlet to optimize removal of necrotic tissue, to promote wound healing.

A circulator for use with a footbath which comprises a perforate cover having an outlet port, a base secured to said cover having at least one upstanding stator blade intermediate said base and said cover and aligned with said outlet port, an impeller is mounted for rotation with respect to said base intermediate said base and said cover, said impeller including at least one radially extending blade, said impeller including a part thereof that is manufactured of a ferromagnetic material.
