Abstract: A lip plumping device includes a positive pressure device having a striking rod and striking head attached on the an end of the striking rod; a force-generating element to propel the striking head with energy which upon impacting on a target spot on a lip or in an area around the lip increases blood flood to the target spot on the lip or in the area around the lip which produces a lip plumping effect; and a button that controls the force-generating element. The target spot and a striking force of the positive pressure device is controlled by instructions from a computing device.

Abstract: Phototherapy systems and methods of phototherapy are described. In an example, the phototherapy system includes a therapeutic light source configured to emit phototherapeutic light towards a subject; and a placebo light source configured to emit placebo light towards the subject. In an embodiment, the light, including the phototherapeutic light and the placebo light, emitted by the phototherapy system is configured to be visually perceived by the subject as continuous light. In an embodiment, the placebo light is a metameric match of the phototherapeutic light. In an embodiment, the method includes emitting the placebo light in a wavelength range and at an intensity configured to be visually perceived by the user as the phototherapeutic light, such as where the placebo light is a metameric match of the phototherapeutic light.

Abstract: An eyebrow device includes a brow ink pen or pencil connected to a reciprocating or oscillating electric driver, wherein at least one of a stroke length, stroke angle, stroke force, arc length, and cycle rate of the brow ink pen or pencil are adjustable. A computer-implemented method of shaping an eyebrow with ink, includes: creating, by a computing device, a pre-altered eyebrow of a user; creating, by the computing device, a plurality of eyebrow shaping effects; creating, by the computing device, a questionnaire in which the user selects at least one eyebrow shaping effect from the plurality of eyebrow shaping effects; and providing, by the computing device, instructions for an eyebrow device how to shape the pre-altered eyebrow of the user to resemble the eyebrow shaping effect selected by the user.

Abstract: A lighting system device includes a light sensor to measure ambient lighting conditions; a light source; one or more computing devices allowing selecting a location other than ambient location; one or more computing devices that compare the ambient lighting conditions to the lighting conditions of the selected location; and one or more computing devices that control the output of the light source to produce lighting conditions that when combined with the ambient lighting conditions simulate the lighting conditions of the selected location.

Abstract: A downhole power generator module having a body with one or more couplings that are configured to connect the body to a downhole tool string positioned downhole in a wellbore. An axial passageway is formed through the outer housing and couplings. The power generator module has a pressure-driven electric generator such as a triboelectric or piezoelectric generator positioned within the body. A port in the body enables communication of well fluids from the wellbore to the generator. Pressure changes in the well fluids are communicated to the pressure-driven electric generator, causing it to autonomously generate electric power downhole. The generated power is provided directly to other downhole tools without intervention from the surface.
