  • Publication number: 20170189262
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention include a method and a device for increasing blood flow and controlling the temperature of a mammal by applying a desired pressure to extremities of a mammal. The device generally includes a pliant body element that is adapted to receive a portion of an extremity of the mammal therein, and then apply a pressure to a portion of the extremity when a pressure is provided to a region in which the extremity is positioned within the pliant body element. By evacuating the region in which the extremity is enclosed, a contact surface area between the extremity of a mammal and the pliant body element is increased, due to the external atmospheric pressure acting on the pliant body element against the skin of the extremity of the mammal. The application of pressure assures that sufficient contact and thermal heat transfer (heating or cooling) is provided to the extremity of the mammal.

  • Publication number: 20170189267
    Abstract: An acupuncture device can include a frame, an enclosure disposed on the frame to protect the frame, multiple stimulators mounted on the frame. The stimulators can be electrically coupled with a controller that transmits electric pulses to the stimulators for electro-acupuncture purpose. The size of the frame is adjustable to fit different body sizes of the users. The stimulators can be carried by the adjustment of the frame. The acupuncture device can also include one or more position references and the stimulators are positioned at relative distances from the position references. When the size of the frame is adjusted, the stimulators are carried by the frame to new positions that are at relative distances from the position references in proportionality with the extent of adjustment of the frame. Hence, the relative distance between a stimulator and a position reference in light of the size of the frame is maintained.
