  • Publication number: 20240172830
    Abstract: A light-emitting system is provided which is removably attachable to headgear for personal illumination to enhance visibility of the user to others. The light-emitting system includes a housing that defines a receiving aperture and is configured to surround a portion of the headgear when the light-emitting system is removably attached to the headgear for use. The light-emitting system further includes at least one lens and a plurality of lighting elements coupled to the annular housing which are configured to selectively generate a halo or at least a partial halo of light that radiates outwardly away from the annular housing through the at least one lens to provide enhanced personal illumination.

  • Publication number: 20240149027
    Abstract: An apparatus of an elongated cylindrical shape, which is inserted into the anal canal and expands progressively in segments, beginning with the distal end positioned in the rectal chamber, and finishing at or near the anal verge at the proximal end. Expansion is gradually increased by the user as directed, and then decreased to its original dimensions, with a purpose of conditioning the anus for insertion of desired objects.

  • Publication number: 20150065789
    Abstract: This document discusses, among other things, a system and method for generating a sleep therapy stimulus waveform for a patient. Stimulus sequence information can be selected from a sequence memory array, and stimulus sequence information can be received from the sequence memory array at a stimulus generator selector. A generator select signal can be provided to a stimulus generator of a closed loop neuromodulator using the stimulus sequence information and a stimulus duration signal, wherein the generator select signal can include stimulus type information related to stimulus pulses generated using the closed loop neuromodulator.

  • Patent number: 8834347
    Abstract: This document discusses, among other things, a system and method for anti-habituating sleep therapy using a closed loop neuromodulator. A first sleep disorder event can be detected using first activity information, and a first series of stimuli can be provided, in response to the first sleep disorder event, using a set of stimulus parameters. A habituation event can be detected and anti-habituation stimulation parameter can be adjusted to avoid patient habituation to the stimuli.

  • Publication number: 20100056855
    Abstract: This document discusses, among other things, a system and method for optimizing a sleep therapy using a closed loop neuromodulator. A first sleep disorder event can be detected using first activity information, and a first stimulus can be provided, in response to the first sleep disorder event, using a set of stimulus parameters. Termination of the first sleep disorder event can be detected using second activity information, and at least one therapy parameter can be adjusted to decrease an energy level of a subsequent stimulus.

  • Publication number: 20100056853
    Abstract: This document discusses, among other things, a system and method for providing a stimulus signal of a closed loop neuromodulator configured to optimize sleep therapy for a patient. A stimulus select signal can be received at a plurality of stimulus type generators from a stimulus sequencer of the closed loop neuromodulator, and a stimulus signal can be provided using one of the plurality of stimulus type generators in response to the stimulus select signal. An amplified stimulus signal can be provided to a stimulus escalator of the closed loop neural modulator to optimize sleep therapy for the patient.
