Abstract:
A removable cover portion for a body massager is provided with a sheet of material sized to be placed upon the body massager and adapted to be fastened to the body massager. The sheet has a reduced contact area for altering a resultant massage effect. A method for Manufacturing the cover portion provides the sheet, integrally forms a massage formation with at least two massage nodes and a cross member interconnecting the at least two massage nodes, and assembles a plurality of massage formations to the sheet of material whereby the cross members maintain the orientation of the corresponding adjacent massage nodes during assembly of the massage nodes to the sheet of material.
Abstract:
The present invention discloses a body massager comprising a portable housing including a backrest and a seat support. A longitudinal guide is provided in the backrest cooperating with a carriage for translation of the carriage within the backrest and a motor drives the carriage along the guide. A pair of massage members are supported by the carriage and extend from the backrest for imparting a rolling massage effect upon the back of the user. A second motor drives the massage members for generating a rotary kneading massage effect or for adjusting a width of the rolling massage effect.
Abstract:
The present invention discloses a massage apparatus having a housing with a massage formation for contacting a body part of a user. A massage mechanism is oriented within the housing for imparting a massage effect to the massage formation. A light source is provided on the massage formation for conveying an illumination effect from the massage formation. A partially translucent massager is disclosed for providing a visual effect of the underlying massage operation. Further, a roller massage assembly is provided wherein a load imparted to a roller is distributed directly to a structure of the massager for preventing distribution of the load to the massage mechanism.
Abstract:
According to one embodiment of the present invention, a method for calibrating a blood pressure monitor is disclosed. The method includes generating a first training pressure point signal corresponding to a first pressure value; transmitting the first training pressure point signal to a pressure sensor of a blood pressure monitor (BPM); receiving a first sensed pressure value sensed by the pressure sensor; generating a second training pressure point signal corresponding to a second pressure value; transmitting the second training pressure point signal to the pressure sensor of the BPM; receiving a second sensed pressure value sensed by the pressure sensor; receiving BMP calibration data; and generating new calibration data based on the first pressure value, the second pressure value, the first sensed pressure value, the second sensed pressure value and the BMP calibration data.
