Abstract:
An intercourse assistance device for reducing the length of a penis that enters a vagina. The intercourse assistance device has a support body with a front side and a rear side. The support body is made of resistantly-rigid material. The device includes a region of deformably-soft material monolithically positioned centrally within the support body. The deformably-soft material is adapted to deform when in contact with the penis. The device also includes a reflexively-closable opening cut out from the region of reflexively-deformable material. The opening is adapted to removably receive the penis.
Abstract:
An exemplary method treating a cardiovascular disease in a patient includes 1) generating, by an electroacupuncture device implanted beneath a skin surface of the patient, stimulation sessions at a duty cycle that is less than 0.05, and 2) applying, by the electroacupuncture device in accordance with the duty cycle, the stimulation sessions to a median nerve of the patient by way of an electrode array located within the patient at an acupoint corresponding to the median nerve.
Abstract:
Disclosed are various embodiments for implementing and creating a customizable artificial hand massage apparatus configured to simulate actual hand movements associated with a human user. The customizable artificial hand massage apparatus may also be configured to execute a massage application. The massage application may be executed to store information associated with the user of the customizable artificial hand massage apparatus, detect sounds, detect motion, determine an amount of gas expelled from the user of the customizable artificial hand massage apparatus, determine the number of times an infant burps, detects how far an object or person is located with respect to the customizable artificial hand massage apparatus, and transfer information to a separate control application.
Abstract:
An implantable electroacupuncture device (IEAD) treats obese conditions of a patient through application of stimulation pulses applied at acupoints SP4, LR8 or ST40, or their underlying nerves saphenous and peroneal. The IEAD comprises an implantable, coin-sized, self-contained, leadless electroacupuncture device having at least two electrodes attached to an outside surface of its housing. The device generates stimulation pulses in accordance with a specified stimulation regimen. Power management circuitry within the device allows a primary battery, having a high internal impedance, to be used to power the device. The stimulation regimen generates stimulation pulses during a stimulation session of duration T3 minutes applied every T4 minutes. The duty cycle, or ratio T3/T4, is very low, no greater than 0.05. The low duty cycle and careful power management allow the IEAD to perform its intended function for several years.
Abstract:
The invention is an Enhanced Patient Mobility Apparatus for use by ambulatory or recovering patients. The Enhanced Mobility Apparatus is fabricated from sturdy tubular material and has a lower U-shaped base frame member mounted on casters with an upwardly extending mid frame member and two vertical supports attached thereto and each also attached at its lower extremity to the lower U-shaped base frame member. The U-shaped base frame member, the mid frame member and the two vertical supports define a walking space for the patient with provision for the possibility of the patient also being able to move about with oxygen tanks, a patient intravenous drip apparatus and other medical devices and apparatus which must be transported by an ambulatory patient.
Abstract:
A stress relief system comprising segmented sexual aid tools comprising a plurality of interchangeable components, all of which fit together so that a user may customize the shape, girth and length of the sexual aid tool. The system further comprises monetization and internet sales in e-commerce of sexual aid tools utilizing custom orders and rapid fabrication of such interchangeable components.
Abstract:
A neuromuscular enhancement system comprising engineered textile structures is worn by a user to increase strength, preserve energy, and increase motion accuracy. It can be used in surgery and interface with operating room technology, allowing the surgeon to perform surgery for longer hours and with increased accuracy. The system is a flexible structure, worn over the user's body, comprising engineered textile materials that apply forces to different areas of the user's body. The engineered materials can be activated to apply a force to a region of the body to assist in desired user output. The engineered materials can be embedded with sensors to detect and monitor motion and other properties. The engineered materials can be embedded with a communication system that communicates between a computer system and the system and its sensors and components. The enhancement system can be configured for use in applications other than surgery.
Abstract:
Devices and methods for performing CPR on a patient within an imaging field of an imaging device. The device has a compression belt and a belt tensioning mechanism, both located on or in the device such that the head, neck, thorax and abdomen of the patient may be place within the imaging field with the compression belt installed about the patient and the belt tensioning mechanism will be located outside of the imaging field.
Abstract:
A neuromuscular enhancement system comprising engineered textile structures is worn by a user to increase strength, preserve energy, and increase motion accuracy. The system can be used in surgery and interface with operating room technology, together providing the surgeon with the ability to perform surgery for longer hours and with increased accuracy. The enhancement system is a flexible structure, worn over the user's body, comprising engineered textile materials that apply forces to different areas of the user's body. The engineered materials can be activated in order to apply a force to a particular region of the body to assist in a desired user output. The engineered materials can be embedded with sensors to detect and monitor motion and other physical properties. The engineered materials can also be embedded with a communication system that conveys information between a computer system and the neuromuscular enhancement system and its various sensors and components. The enhancement system here can be configured for use in applications other than surgery.
Abstract:
A multi-layer foam fitness apparatus for use in strength and stretching exercises is provided. The apparatus has a user-engaging portion and a surface-engaging portion. The user-engaging portion is comprised of closed cell EVA foam of a first hardness, and the surface-engaging portion is comprised of a closed cell EVA foam of a second, lesser hardness, wherein the surface-engaging portion is comprised of non-slip memory foam. The user-engaging portion comprises one or more faces, which may be flat, angled, or curved, or some combination of the foregoing.
