TREMOR STABILISATION APPARATUS
A tremor stabilization apparatus, for example for helping to stabilize tremors of user with Parkinson's Disease or Essential Tremor. The tremor stabilization apparatus has a housing that is attachable to a part of a user's body and a rotatable flywheel assembly mounted to the housing. The rotatable flywheel assembly includes a rotatable flywheel, a prime mover arranged to rotate the flywheel about a flywheel rotation axis, and a gimbal to which the flywheel is attached. The gimbal is pivotally mounted to the housing at a hinge formed between the gimbal and the housing and defining a precession axis such that the flywheel can precess with respect to the housing about the precession axis. The precession axis is fixed relative to the housing. The tremor stabilization apparatus further includes a biasing member arranged to oppose precession of the rotatable flywheel assembly and urge the rotatable flywheel assembly to an equilibrium position.
INTELLIGENT START AND STOP MASSAGER
An intelligent start and stop massager is provided, which includes a first shell, a connecting spring, and a second shell; the first shell is connected to the second shell through the connecting spring; a vibration motor is arranged in the first shell; the vibration motor is in driving connection with a deflection member; a battery, a main control board and a touch switch are arranged in the second shell; the main control board is in conduction connection with the vibration motor, the battery and the touch switch; a first rubber layer is wrapped on an outer side of the first shell; and a second rubber layer is wrapped on an outer side of the second shell.
SYSTEM, APPARATUS, AND METHOD FOR SYNCHRONOUSLY CONTROLLING DEVICES
A system is disclosed. The system has an accessory control module, comprising computer-executable code stored in non-volatile memory, a processor, a user device of a human viewer, a viewer accessory configured to communicate with the user device, the viewer accessory including a first motor or a first heater, a model device of a human model, and a model accessory configured to communicate with the model device, the model accessory including a second motor or a second heater. The accessory control module, the processor, the user device, the viewer accessory, the model device, and the model accessory are configured to provide a chat communication application between the human viewer and the human model configured to provide chat between the human viewer via the user device and the human model via the model device.
Methods and apparatuses for prophylactically treating undetected kidney stones using mechanical waves produced from a tactile transducer
Apparatuses and methods utilizing tactile transducers to create mechanical waves that travel through an individual's body to the kidneys to dislodge kidney stones. Embodiments include a structural member with at least one tactile transducer, an amplifier, and a controller. The tactile transducer(s) produce mechanical waves, and the structural member enables projection of the mechanical waves produced by the tactile transducer(s) toward at least one kidney to dislodge kidney stones. The amplifier is electronically coupled to the at least one tactile transducer, and the controller is electronically coupled to the amplifier and configured to determine the mechanical waves produced by the at least one tactile transducer.
Chair-type massage machine
A chair-type massage machine includes a main body on which a person to be treated is to be seated, a holding part at least part of which is placed inside a container recess to hold a first operation unit, and a moving mechanism for moving the holding part. The holding part is reciprocatably moved between a first position in which the first operation unit is contained in the container recess and a second position in which the first operation unit is exposed. The chair-type massage machine further includes a second operation unit for moving the holding part.
Non-invasive wearable device for electrical nerve stimulation
Portable non-invasive electrical nerve stimulation devices have an electrical one-piece module whose lower surface is configured to be applied to the outer surface of a human body. The one-piece module has a casing incorporating a pulse generator circuit connected to at least two electrodes preferably silicon-graphite electrodes, to deliver an electrical pulse to the nerve positioned in the human body through the electrodes. The one-piece module has a means of attachment to the human body. The means of attachment can be a single fastening system positioned on the upper part of an ankle, above the malleolus.
