  • Patent number: 12350440
    Abstract: A multi-sensory media experience delivery platform includes a vibroacoustic therapy bed that delivers a multi-sensory media experience locally stored, streaming, on-demand, or real-time signals. The vibroacoustic therapy bed drives a plurality of sensory output devices based on a set of sensory output channels to produce sounds, vibrations, light patterns, or other sensory outputs. The channels may be derived from dedicated signals created for a specific sensory output device or may be derived from an audio file or other general set of waveforms. The multi-sensory media experience may be customized to a user based on user profile data, metadata associated with the multi-sensory media experience, or biometric data. Furthermore, users can create customized multi-sensory media experiences from libraries of sounds or other media.

  • Patent number: 12310624
    Abstract: The present subject matter discloses a device and system of aspirating follicular fluid. In an example, an ovum pick up (OPU) device for aspirating follicular fluid includes a needle having a first end and a second end, opposite to the first end. The first end of the needle is to pierce through an ovarian follicle to aspirate the follicular fluid from the ovarian follicle by a suction force. The OPU device includes a connector having a channel to receive the second end of the needle. The OPU device further includes an elastic tube connected to the connector. The second end of the needle passes through the channel and inside the elastic tube. The elastic tube is compressible, while locating the ovarian follicle and piercing the needle through the ovarian follicle, to regulate the suction force during aspiration of the follicular fluid between two follicles.
