  • Publication number: 20260115410
    Abstract: A therapeutic massage method that begins with a customized bath followed by client ringing a bell signalling the client's readiness to begin the massage comprising performing a ballet style core massage, performing rock positioning massage, placing a washcloth under a heated rock on the recipient's core to promote relaxation and deep muscle release, applying a magnesium solution to sit on skin while preparing a cup towel and heat pack, placing the cup towel over a treated area, followed by positioning the heat pack contained in the fabric over the treated area, allowing absorption of the magnesium solution into the skin and inhalation treatment using a temperature-adjustable eye pillow pack until the completion of massage session as determined by both therapist and recipient that all areas of concern are addressed to provide enhanced muscle relaxation.

  • Patent number: 12523496
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a simultaneous localisation and mapping, SLAM, device a data processing unit, computer program and associated method for receiving first-sensor-data, first-motion-data and first-timing-information associated with the first-sensor-data and the first-motion-data; receiving second-sensor-data, second-motion-data and second-timing-information associated with the second-sensor-data and the second-sensor-motion-data; and correlating the first-motion-data with the second-motion-data to identify a relationship between the first-timing-information and the second-timing-information, in which the identified relationship between the first-timing-information and the second-timing-information defines one or more associations between the first-sensor-data and the second-sensor-data.

  • Publication number: 20250375312
    Abstract: This invention provides biocompatible alternatives to conventional mouth guards by using natural, non-synthetic materials safe for intraoral contact and ingestion. These materials conform naturally to a wearer's oral anatomy through passive adaptation, integrated features, heat-, pressure-, and/or water-based methods, or manual techniques performed during or after manufacturing, provided all methods and materials remain natural, non-synthetic, and compatible with intraoral use. The materials may exhibit inherent antimicrobial properties or be enhanced through treatment with non-synthetic substances. In one embodiment, long bast plant fibers such as hemp are formed into two dense strips positioned along the sides of the mouth and joined by a flexible, non-synthetic connector permitting angular and width adaptability. In other embodiments, the mouth guard is formed as a unitary configuration composed entirely of natural, non-synthetic materials.

  • Publication number: 20250352599
    Abstract: A method of treating a subject with a topical condition, comprising applying to a topical surface of the subject a composition comprising red clover, bloodroot, galangal, and sheep sorrel, wherein the topical condition is an infection, animal bite, or dermatitis, and wherein the composition is kept on the topical surface for no more than 12 hours without a cover.

  • Publication number: 20250032307
    Abstract: A hemp-based mouthguard includes first and second hemp-based tabs and a string connector connecting the first and second hemp-based tabs. In one embodiment, a cotton-based string attaches the string connector to the first and second hemp-based tabs. The length of the first and second hemp-based tabs each span at least a portion of the corresponding first side or the second side of a wearer's mouth and are user-adjustable. The string connector has a length sufficient to span the desired spacing between the first and second hemp-based tabs being positioned within the wearer's mouth.

  • Patent number: 11176353
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to corresponding apparatus, computer program and method for receiving three-dimensional, 3D, map-data, in which a plurality of locations within the 3D-map-data are association with respective 3D-data-capture-locations of a 3D-camera, and in which 3D-camera-timing-information is associated with each of the plurality of locations; receiving one or more two-dimensional, 2D, images from a 2D-camera, in which 2D-camera-timing-information is associated with each 2D-image, and in which each 2D-image is captured when a movement of the 3D-camera is less than a threshold level; identifying 3D-camera-timing-information associated with locations within the 3D-map-data that correspond to 3D-data-capture-locations with a movement level of the 3D-camera less than the threshold level; associating, in a combined dataset, each 2D-image with a corresponding location within the 3D-map-data by a data processing unit correlating the 2D-camera-timing-information with the identified 3D-camera-timing-informatio

  • Patent number: 11106324
    Abstract: A machine for dynamic content rendering in a space-constrained online container. The machine accesses a plurality of items of digital content. The machine dynamically renders the plurality of items in a dedicated area of a user interface. The dynamic rendering includes: dynamically determining, for display in the dedicated area, a first item group of one or more items of the plurality of items; causing display of the first item group in the dedicated area; and dynamically determining a second item group of one or more items of the plurality of items. The items included in the second item group are associated with a hidden style based on dynamically determining that the dynamic rendering of the items included in the second item group overflows the dedicated area. The machine dynamically renders a call-to-action button in the dedicated area. The call-to-action button indicates the number of items in the second item group.

  • Patent number: 10520600
    Abstract: Methods for segmenting an ocean bottom area into multiple homogenous, rectangular sub-mission areas and generating new, composite sensor performance functions for each sub-mission area are provided. The method discretizes each voxel into a plurality of equally sized, square range bins and obtains a mean P-of-Y curve for each row and column based on a bottom characterization for each of the voxels. Zone parameters along each direction are iteratively calculated, with adjacent zones merged when their parameters are within predetermined values. Pooled variances are calculated for each direction and a preferred mission direction is chosen based on the direction with the smallest pooled variance.
