  • Patent number: 11426598
    Abstract: A reusable adhesive pad with embedded magnets consists of a layer of fibrous cloth with elasticity, a layer of silicone gel padding, and permanent magnets. The fibrous cloth with elasticity is made from fiber materials with a stretchable characteristic. The silicone gel padding is spread out fully and glued on one surface of the fibrous cloth with elasticity. In addition, the silicone gel padding is provided with holes that the permanent magnets with cylindrical or conical outers can be filled in and glued to the adhesive surface of the fibrous cloth with elasticity. Since the other sides of the permanent magnets protrude outwards the surface of the silicone gel padding, applying the invention to the human skin can perform the acupuncture and moxibustion treatment and the magneto-therapy to lessen painful discomfort.

  • Publication number: 20220040554
    Abstract: A swimming timer including a fluid container, a fluid channel, a fluid sensor, a control circuit board and a display device. The fluid channel is connected to the fluid container and the fluid sensor, and the control circuit board is wired with the fluid sensor and the display device. The fluid container is installed and mounted on a side-wall of a swimming lane. When a swimmer starts, turns and stops, the fluid container will be touched and compressed forcing the fluid inside to flow into the fluid channel. The fluid sensor detects the fluid flow and generates electronic signals accordingly for the control circuit board and the built-in timing and stopwatch program to use as the input commands of start, lap and stop to compute the swimming time and the number of swimming laps. The display device is to show the results for the swimmer reference.

  • Publication number: 20210069566
    Abstract: The objective of the invention is to provide a visual rhythmic guide device for swimming training capable of emitting rhythmical flashlights with a given frequency to lead the tempo of movements such as arm stroking and leg kicking for a swimmer. To achieve the objective, the device comprises a waterproof body to house components including a control circuit board, a timer, a gravity sensor (G-Sensor), a LED light source, a screen, a battery, a connection port and a set of input keys. When the device is given a frequency by a swimmer through the input keys, the LED light source will be driven to emit rhythmical flashlights in accordance with the given frequency. The swimmer is able to wear the device on anywhere of the body as long as the rhythmical flashlights can be sensed to adjust and practice the tempo of swimming movements.

  • Publication number: 20210069567
    Abstract: A limb motion measurement device for swimming training includes a sense glove and a sense shoe able to measure and collect the states of moving hands and feet of a swimmer in a training practice, including strength, displacement, velocity, bearing angle, number of times, frequency and time parameters, and to generate a serial of limb motion data of arm stroking and leg kicking motions. These organized and quantified limb motion data can be transmitted outwards to an external computer for the swimmer to study and to produce useful information of more efficient movements and tempos of swimming techniques. Accordingly, the limb motion measurement device for swimming training can be applied to improve swimming techniques in a scientific way.

  • Publication number: 20190329849
    Abstract: A water propelling device is invented to rescue a drowning person with more efficiency and less risks, which includes an adjustable clamp apparatus, a hydro-driving mechanism, a waterproof chamber and a control monitor. The adjustable clamp apparatus is able to fasten various type of life-saving buoy rings. Inside the waterproof chamber, electronic circuit boards, a power supply unit with batteries, a wireless signal communication module and antennas, various sensor modules and an electronic speed controller are wired together as a control unit. The hydro-driving mechanism is at the bottom of the adjustable clamp apparatus, which is connected with the control unit to actuate and control the movements. Wireless signals are transmitted and received between the control monitor and the control unit, allowing a rescuer to operate the water propelling device remotely to deliver a life-saving buoy ring over the surface of water toward the drowning person.

  • Publication number: 20090305822
    Abstract: A method for a satellite positioning system to establish a golf player score database, which uses a golf GPS (Global Positioning System) device to receive geographic position satellite coordinate signals, and, based on the results of computational processing of which, map and digital information of the terrain, terrain features and related geographic information of the corresponding hole of the corresponding golf course are displayed on the golf GPS device or other display device for reference by the user. Furthermore, the user can input golf stroke scores and related information into the golf GPS device for recording and storage, and transmit the information to a player score database of a remote computer for storage. After carrying out comparative analysis of the player score database according to user instructions, the results are transmitted back and displayed on the golf GPS device or other display device for reference by the user.

  • Publication number: 20090228451
    Abstract: A method of the present invention enables every object on a digital map to be set with qualitative attributes comprised of geographical and descriptive properties and data of telecommunications. When browsing through the digital map to query for a designated object on an electronic (such as a computer, PDA, or mobile phone), the resulted digital map of location and corresponding qualitative attributes as well as data of telecommunication of the designated object are displayed on the screen of the electronic device. By simply selecting (clicking or double clicking) the data of telecommunications of the designated object, the modem circuits and related driving mechanisms of the electronic device are actuated to establish connections to the telephone system or the internet system enabling telecommunications through the telephone numbers, the homepages or the internet instant messengers (such as MSN, ICQ, Skype and the like) of the object for further immediate and direct contact.
