  • Patent number: 12269180
    Abstract: New and innovative systems and methods for calibrating and correcting sensors associated with a collaborative robot are disclosed. An example system comprises: at least one robotic arm; a sensor affixed to a location on the robotic arm, wherein the sensor measures force and torque across six degrees of freedom (6DOF); a processor; and memory. The system may receive, from the sensor, sensor input in real-time that indicate a measured force or torque. The system may generate, in real-time, sensor corrections that correspond to offset, linear, and non-linear deviations of the measured force in each sensor axis. The sensor corrections may correspond to offset, linear, and non-linear cross-coupling of the measured force between two or more sensor axes. The sensor corrections may be determined by applying offset, linear, and non nonlinear corrections to each degree of freedom (DOF) from every other DOF.

  • Publication number: 20240390075
    Abstract: New and innovative systems and methods for an integrated surgical navigation and visualization are disclosed. An example system comprises: a single cart providing mobility; a stereoscopic digital surgical microscope; one or more computing devices (e.g., including a single computing device) housing and jointly executing a surgical navigation module and a surgical visualization module, and powered by a single power connection, thus reducing operating room footprint; a single unified display; a processor; and memory. In one embodiment, the system may control a position of a stereoscopic digital surgical microscope with a given reference; provide navigation of a surgical site responsive to user input; provide visualization of the surgical site via a single unified display; and synchronize, in real time, the visualization by integrating navigation information and the visualization of the surgical via the single unified display.

  • Publication number: 20230022991
    Abstract: Disclosed embodiments provide an improved stimulation device. Embodiments of the improved stimulation device include a cup and a driver. The cup has a cavity surrounded by a rim. In use, a user positions the rim such that an opening to the cavity is over an area of a user’s body to be stimulated (for example, the clitoris). A sealed-, or substantially-sealed, main chamber is formed by the cavity walls and the user’s body (skin surrounding the clitoris). A pressure field is generated in the main chamber. The device may further include an auxiliary chamber that is pneumatically connected to the main chamber via a conduit. An auxiliary chamber volume adjuster allows the user to vary the volume of the auxiliary chamber, which varies a total combined volume of the pneumatically connected main chamber and auxiliary chamber. The change in total volume causes a change in pressure experienced by the user. This allows the user to adjust the pressure based on comfort and pleasure as per user preferences.

  • Publication number: 20230024137
    Abstract: Disclosed embodiments provide a personal massager device. The massager device includes a stimulator, which is G-spot stimulator, clitoral stimulator, or a prostate stimulator. The stimulator includes an enclosure having an opening. A post is disposed within the enclosure. The post has a groove formed in the side at a non-orthogonal angle with respect to a longitudinal axis of the post. A ball is disposed within the groove. The ball protrudes outside the opening of the enclosure. The post is rotated in a continuous direction by the motor, and as it does so, the ball traverses a path. A sheath is disposed tightly over the enclosure. The ball presses the sheath against the G-spot or prostate of the user, providing stimulation.

In use, a user positions the rim such that an opening to the cavity is over an area of a user's body to be stimulated (for example, the clitoris). A sealed-, or substantially-sealed, main chamber is formed by the cavity walls and the user's body (skin surrounding the clitoris). A pressure field is generated in the main chamber. The device includes a voice coil motor that drives a linear actuator. This enables the volume of the cavity, and changes in volume, to be electronically controlled. The change in total volume causes a change in pressure experienced by the user. This allows the user to adjust the pressure based on comfort and pleasure as per user preferences.

  • Patent number: 11517495
    Abstract: Disclosed embodiments provide a pressure field stimulation device having an arm adaptable in shape. Embodiments of the improved stimulation device include a cup, a driver, and an arm. The arm is flexible in such a way that it holds its position when bent. The adaptable arm may be a handle, a member insertable into the vagina or rectum, or a connection member between the pressure field stimulator and another stimulator. In use, a user positions a rim of the cup such that an opening to the cavity is over an area to be stimulated (e.g., the clitoris). A sealed-, or substantially-sealed, chamber is formed by the cavity walls and the user's skin (surrounding the clitoris). A pressure field is generated in the chamber, providing sexual stimulation to the clitoris. The user can adjust the placement of the cup by bending the arm.

  • Patent number: 11504296
    Abstract: Disclosed embodiments provide an improved personal massager device. The massager device includes a stimulator, which is G-spot stimulator or a prostate stimulator. The stimulator includes an enclosure having an opening. A threaded post is disposed within the enclosure. The threaded post has a plurality of pitched threads. A roller is disposed within the plurality of pitched threads. The roller protrudes outside the opening of the enclosure. The threaded post is rotated back and forth by a motor, and as it does so, the roller traverses a path. A sheath is disposed tightly over the enclosure. The roller presses the sheath against the G-spot or prostate of the user, providing stimulation. In some embodiments, one or more of a start position of the roller and an end position of the roller are defined by user input.

  • Publication number: 20220157471
    Abstract: Disclosed in some examples are systems, methods, and machine-readable media for improved data categorization for group organization. To improve participation, a user may be associated with a group. Anonymized health data from the users may be aggregated to generate one or more target goals, which may be selected by the group as a target goal. A number of groups may compete against other groups, where the competition may be scored based on progress toward their respective selected goals. The generation of target goals and the group progress toward each selected goal may be based on improvement or maximization of user participation.

  • Patent number: 11318064
    Abstract: Embodiments of the improved stimulation device include a cup and a driver. The cup has a cavity surrounded by a rim. The driver comprises a plate disposed on an underside of the cup, a cam disposed adjacent to the plate, and a motor mechanically coupled to the cam. The driver is configured to intermittently vary a volume of the cavity of the cup from a first volume to a second volume without returning the cup from the second volume to the first volume. In some embodiments, the cup returns from the second volume to the first volume, in between intermittent varying from the first volume to the second volume, due to the resilient nature of the material of the cup and/or the configuration of the cup. This varying of the volume between the first and second volumes creates a pressure field in a chamber formed by the cavity and a user's skin.

  • Patent number: 11229574
    Abstract: Disclosed embodiments provide a massager having at least one expandable chamber. In some embodiments, there is provided an expandable shaft chamber that is inflatable to push a stimulator towards the G-spot of the user to increase contact pressure in that area. This inflation can also allow for a hands-free experience by expanding the width of the shaft inside the vagina for a snug fit tight against the vaginal or rectum walls. In some embodiments, there is provided an expandable ring chamber that is inflatable to securely hold a massager device inside the vagina or rectum, allowing for a hands-free experience.
