  • Publication number: 20170181518
    Abstract: A method for producing a clamping member of a hair clip includes filling a plastic material into a cavity defined by a fixed mold and a movable mold, forming a clamping member. The plastic material in rectilinear passages and grooves in the movable mold form teeth on a clamping portion of the clamping member. Then, the movable mold disengages from the fixed mold with the clamping member remaining on the movable mold. Next, the clamping member is moved away from the movable mold by a distance. The plastic material in each groove becomes an elongated section. Before the plastic material completely cures, the clamping member completely disengages from the movable mold. The elongated section of each tooth bends downwards due to gravitational force and completely cures to form a hooked section. The remaining portion of each tooth forms a rectilinear section interconnected between the hooked section and the clamping portion.

    Abstract: The invention is a dynamic support pad applied to the mattress. The dynamic support pad includes the bottom layer. Several support bars with parallel space are on the top surface of the bottom layer. The support plate is on the top surface of each support bar. The width of the support plate is bigger than the support bar's width. The bottom layer, support bar and support plate are all made of the cotton material. The invention has novelty structure and skillful design. It can fit the dynamic support automatically by matching the human body curve. Its shape will deform automatically in accordance with the human body curve and the force bearing of spine. The support bar will deform in varying degrees by the pressure of different parts of human body when people lie in bed. Thus, each part of human body will contact the mattress's top surface closely in accordance with body curve. People can turn over freely and naturally while they sleep and people won't feel bone pains while they wake up.

    Abstract: In one example, we describe a method and system for infant's development, which is a disc system, with various combinations and extensions. The brain is the only organ that constantly reorganizes itself based on experiences or lack thereof. Babies are born with millions of neurons. Through a process called ā€œpruningā€, certain ā€˜circuits’ are fine-tuned through repeated practice and stimulation. This occurs from birth, throughout early childhood. The purpose of the SensiMo Disc is to provide an infant, e.g., typically, up to the 25 lbs. and/or 29 inches long, sensorimotor stimulation, while lying in a prone or supine position, with minimal active movement of the head or extremities. As the child lays supine or proneon, on the SensiMo disc, the child's tactile, vestibular, and proprioceptive systems are stimulated. This helps develop the child's sensorimotor system. Many other variations and combinations, plus advantages, are discussed.

    Abstract: A robotic mannequin system includes a plurality of articles of clothing. A mannequin is provided. The mannequin has a torso, a pair of arms, a pair of legs and a head. Each of the articles of clothing is worn on the mannequin such that the mannequin displays the articles of clothing. An actuating array is coupled to the mannequin. The actuating array is in mechanical communication with the arms, the legs and the head. The actuating array urges each of the arms, the first legs and the head to move with respect to the torso. Thus, the mannequin may mimic human motion. Each of the arms, the first legs and the head position the articles of clothing in a selected pose. Thus, the mannequin may enhance an appearance of the articles of clothing.
