  • Patent number: 9144531
    Abstract: One variation of a device for sexual stimulation includes: an interaction module, a power module, and a control module. The interaction module includes a housing, a female power port supported by the housing, and a first and a second vibratory actuator coupled to the female power port, isolated from the housing, and supported by the housing. The power module includes a battery coupled to a male power port. The male power port is configurable between: a first configuration in which the male power port transiently couples to an external power source to charge the battery; and a second configuration in which the male power port transiently retains the interaction module and powers the vibratory actuators to generate haptic vibratory stimulation. The control module configured to control vibratory magnitude settings and vibratory pattern settings of the vibratory actuators based upon inputs at input regions.

  • Patent number: 8103694
    Abstract: A method of storing and managing BOMs of different owners in the same environment. One or more BOMs have an owner. An owner's BOM may include confidential information such that unrestricted access to the confidential information is limited to the owner and any designates of the owner. In particular, one embodiment of the invention maintains a list of items that include the items in the BOMs of the different owners. A unique identifier is used for each item of the list. The item identifiers thus form one namespace. BOMs of different owners share data including confidential data within the same namespace.
