Abstract: A massager with an improved interface preferably including a housing with a massage actuator positioned within the housing. The massage actuator is positioned in the housing so that the massaging head which is attached to the housing may receive the massaging impulses created by the massage actuator. The massaging head preferably has a portion of the head covered by a gel covering which is flexible to conform to the various contours of a user's body while at the same time effectively transmitting the massaging impulse to the users. The massaging head may have portions which are not covered by the gel bed to further increase the versatility of the massager so that should the user wish to focus the massaging impulse to a specific area it may be done at the users convenience. It is envisioned that the improved interface may be used on portable handheld massagers, foot massagers, and various computer and/or keyboard wrist rests and mouse pad rests.

Abstract translation: 具有改进的界面的按摩器优选地包括具有位于壳体内的按摩致动器的壳体。 按摩致动器定位在壳体中，使得附接到壳体的按摩头可以接收由按摩致动器产生的按摩脉冲。 按摩头优选地具有由凝胶覆盖物覆盖的头部的一部分，该凝胶覆盖物柔性以符合使用者身体的各种轮廓，同时有效地将按摩冲击传递给使用者。 按摩头可以具有未被凝胶床覆盖的部分，以进一步增加按摩器的通用性，使得如果用户希望将按摩冲击集中在可以在用户方便的情况下进行的特定区域。 可以想象，改进的接口可以用于便携式手持式按摩器，足部按摩器以及各种计算机和/或键盘腕托和鼠标垫。

Abstract: A hand held wand utilizes an elongated rigid hollow longitudinally extending stainless steel tube open at both ends. A data collection probe is disposed in one tube end. A data uploading port is disposed in the other tube end. The probe and port each include a stainless steel body electrically and mechanically engaging the tube. Each body has a front surface disposed outside of the tube with a peripheral annular ring and a central recess extending inwardly and terminating in a rear surface having a first opening. Each body also includes a corresponding longitudinally extending central electrode disposed in the corresponding recess. Each central electrode has an exposed front surface flush with the ring and a rear surface aligned with and spaced from the opening. Electrical insulation is disposed in the recess to electrically isolate the electrode from the body and the tube. The two bodies and the tube define a common external electrical ground with respect to the central electrodes.

Abstract: A foot massager adapted to hold a fluid that may be deposited from above onto a user's feet including a housing having a foot supporting floor and walls extending upwardly therefrom to form a basin and adapted to hold a fluid. There may be a fluid transport device disposed within the housing and being operatively connected to a fluid inlet disposed in the basin. A pump may be used in the fluid transport device to dispose the fluid out of a fluid outlet to a place disposed above and spaced a distance from the floor of the basin. The fluid outlet and the floor defines a foot receiving space there between whereby the fluid exiting the fluid outlet falls through the foot receiving space and into the basin. There may be a fluid distributor which allows the fluid to fall in a uniform layer to create a waterfall effect.

Abstract translation: 足部按摩器，其适于将可以从上方沉积的流体保持在使用者的脚上，所述脚部包括具有脚支撑底板的壳体和从其向上延伸的壁，以形成盆并适于保持流体。 可以存在设置在壳体内并且可操作地连接到设置在盆中的流体入口的流体输送装置。 可以在流体输送装置中使用泵以将流体从流体出口排出到设置在盆地的地板上方并与盆地的地板隔开一定距离处的位置。 流体出口和地板在其间限定一个脚部容纳空间，由此离开流体出口的流体通过脚部接收空间落入盆中。 可以存在流体分配器，其允许流体以均匀的层落下以产生瀑布效果。
