  • Patent number: 11779513
    Abstract: The present application provides a massager for male genitalia. A user may insert his penis into a massage sleeve through an opening. A relative movement is generated between the massage sleeve and the penis to simulate a thrusting motion during sexual intercourse. The massage sleeve simulates a vaginal environment, and performs a massage to provide massaging stimulation, and a reciprocating movement to provide reciprocating stimulation, or the like. In addition, the massage of the user's penis is implemented during the simulation of a back-and-forth thrusting motion. Therefore, an all-around automatic massage of the penis is implemented, and the entire massage process is relaxing and pleasurable.

  • Patent number: 11759107
    Abstract: A microfluidic strain sensing device for monitoring intraocular pressure. The device has a contact lens and a closed microfluidic network embedded with the contact lens. The network has a volume that is sensitive to an applied strain. The network distinguishes: (i) a gas reservoir containing a gas, (ii) a liquid reservoir containing a liquid that changes volume when the strain is applied, and (iii) a sensing channel able to hold the liquid within the sensing channel. The sensing channel connects the gas reservoir on one end and connects the liquid reservoir on another end. The sensing channel establishes a liquid-gas equilibrium pressure interface and equilibrium within the sensing channel, which would fluidically change as a response to radius of curvature variations on a cornea, or as a response to mechanical stretching and release of the cornea. The liquid-gas equilibrium pressure interface and equilibrium are used for measuring the intraocular pressure.

  • Patent number: 11745028
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for generating surface brachytherapy applicators in which catheter channel trajectories are generated laterally from both sides of a cut plane bisecting an initial model of the surface brachytherapy applicator model, thereby mitigating the effects of patient-surface-induced curvature. The catheter channels may be defined based on catheter channel trajectories that are spatially distributed, relative to the cut plane, on both sides of the cut plane, and spatially offset relative to a patient-facing surface of the surface brachytherapy applicator model. In some example embodiments, catheter channel trajectories are spaced relative to the cut plane such that neighbouring catheter channel trajectories are evenly spaced along a set of contours. Prior to fabrication, the local radius of curvature of catheter channels may be adjusted in a manual or automated manner to exceed a threshold.

  • Patent number: 11738213
    Abstract: A beam transport assembly conveys a particle beam from a particle source to an irradiation nozzle, which rotates about a swivel axis at the horizontal input of the nozzle. A support can move horizontally in a plane perpendicular to the swivel axis. The beam transport assembly can change a path length of the particle beam so as to follow a vertical location of the swivel axis of the irradiation nozzle with respect to the support. A controller can coordinate the path length change of the particle beam, rotation of the irradiation nozzle about the swivel axis, and/or horizontal motion of the support to provide irradiation of a supported object from various angles in the plane perpendicular to the swivel axis while maintaining the irradiation nozzle at a constant distance from the supported object.
