  • Publication number: 20230264005
    Abstract: A microneedle applicator for applying a fluid product to the skin and causing the fluid product to penetrate to the skin. The applicator has an application face provided with a fluid product outlet and a plurality of microneedles; a motor for causing the microneedles to vibrate; a fluid product reservoir connected to the outlet; and a manual actuating member for conveying the fluid product from the reservoir to the outlet. The applicator has two distinct modules removably connected to each other, namely, a first module housing the motor; and a second module housing the fluid product reservoir and forming the application face and the actuating member, the actuating member being accessible and manually manipulable when the two modules are connected to each other.

  • Patent number: 11661244
    Abstract: Cream dispenser for topically dispensing liquid onto the skin of a user including a liquid store, a discharge head that has a discharge opening and a hinged lid to protect the discharge opening. The dispenser has a multi-part design of the discharge head in order to limit, in a haptically satisfactory way, the movability of a release button of the discharge head and a special relative arrangement of the locking edges on the discharge head and on the hinged lid opposite a joint of the hinged lid in order to prevent the sharp-edged locking edges from coming into contact with the skin while cream is being discharged onto the skin.

  • Patent number: 10469977
    Abstract: A method for synchronizing an output of a motion signal with a virtual reality program being played comprises mixing a multi-channel audio output of the virtual reality program into at least one mixed audio track. A time position of the virtual reality program being played is obtained using the at least one mixed audio track. A motion signal corresponding to virtual reality program being played and synchronized with the identified time position of the virtual reality program being played is obtained, the motion signal comprising motion platform actuator-driving instructions. The motion signal is output to an actuation system of a motion platform for producing vibro-kinetic effects in the motion platform corresponding to and synchronized with the virtual reality program being played. A motion controller for synchronizing an output of a motion signal with a virtual reality program being played is also provided.
