Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to neuromuscular stimulation and sensing cuffs. The neuromuscular stimulation cuff has at least two fingers and a plurality of electrodes disposed on each finger. More generally, the neuromuscular stimulation cuff includes an outer, reusable component and an inner, disposable component. One or more electrodes are housed within the reusable component. The neuromuscular stimulation cuff may be produced by providing an insulating substrate layer, forming a conductive circuit on the substrate layer to form a conductive circuit layer, adhering a cover layer onto the conductive circuit layer to form a flexible circuit, and cutting at least one flexible finger from the flexible circuit. The neuromuscular stimulation cuff employs a flexible multi-electrode design which allows for reanimation of complex muscle movements in a patient, including individual finger movement.
Abstract:
A device comprises: an array of electrodes configured to be disposed on a body part; an electrical stimulation transmitter operatively coupled with the array of electrodes; and a data processing module including an electronic processor and a non-transitory storage medium storing spatiotemporal electrical stimulation patterns for generating corresponding somatosensations and further storing instructions readable and executable by the electronic processor to apply a spatiotemporal electrical stimulation pattern stored in the non-transitory storage medium using the electrical stimulation transmitter and the array of electrodes to generate the somatosensation corresponding to the applied spatiotemporal electrical stimulation pattern. The stored patterns may for example include patterns for generating a sensation of skin exposure to a steam vent, a sensation of a weapon charge fire, a sensation of a rotating athletic ring, a sensation of raindrops, a sensation of a crawling arachnid, or a sensation of a shield strike borne by an arm.

Abstract:
Aiming assistance is provided for assisting a user in aiming a ranged weapon at a target. The aiming assistance includes receiving telemetry information from one or more sensors, and determining an aim error based on the telemetry information. The aim error indicates of an error between a trajectory of the ranged weapon and an on target trajectory from the ranged weapon to the target. A somatosensation is provided to the user which is indicative of the aim error. This is done by operating haptic devices of a garment worn on an arm or wrist of the user to apply haptic sensation to skin of the arm or wrist. The haptic devices may be electrodes and the applied haptic sensation comprises transcutaneous electrical neurostimulation (TENS), or the haptic devices may be vibrators.
