  • Patent number: 11896351
    Abstract: A fiber-optic sensor matt detects movements of a person on the matt that cause microbending of a fiber-optic cable that is arranged into a symmetric pair of radial ring groups within the matt. There are no cross-over points or overlapping of the fiber-optic cable within the symmetric pair of radial ring groups that could cause fiber wear and noisy readings. Microbending of the fiber-optic cable pressed into a mesh modulates the light intensity received, which is analyzed to extract both respiration and heart BallistoCardioGram (BCG) waveforms by convolution with Daubechies dB5 wavelet and scaling functions. The reconstructed level-4 detail waveform is output as the extracted BCG, while the reconstructed level-6 approximation waveform is output as the extracted respiration waveform. Respiration and heart rates and variations can be generated from the extracted waveforms. An integrated Fast Wavelet Transform (FWT) using dB5 wavelet thus generates both respiration rate and heart rate.

  • Patent number: 11690775
    Abstract: A grasp assist system includes a glove having a glove palm and fingers, with the glove worn on a user's hand. A sensor measures flexion of the glove fingers, and thus a change of position and/or attitude of the fingers is determined. Finger saddles at least partially surround a phalange of a respective one of the user's fingers. The system uses one or more tendon actuators to pull on flexible tendons. Each tendon connects to a respective finger saddle. A controller is in communication with the actuators and sensor(s). The glove may use feedback from optional contact sensors to adjust tension, and may have a built-in restorative force. In executing a control method, the controller selectively applies tension to the tendons in response to finger flexion, via the tendon actuators, at a level sufficient for moving the user's fingers when the user executes a hand maneuver.

In order to enhance the probability of capturing most of the germs expelled, the germ absorbing layer includes various fibers with shapes and patterns. The flexible fibers are treated to have germicide particles in them. The various shapes, sizes, and patterns of the flexible fibers create a large surface area that the germs can contact when they are expelled into the air. Once the germ absorbing layer is used the layer may be discarded and a new layer may be attached to the wearable member for repeated use.

  • Patent number: 10863778
    Abstract: A simple wearable member having germ absorbing layers that include germicide particles is provided. The germicide particles in the germ absorbing layer can capture the germs expelled into the air when a user coughs or sneezes into the wearable member. Once the germs are captured in the germ absorbing layer, the germs are neutralized by the germicide particles. In order to enhance the probability of capturing most of the germs expelled, the germ absorbing layer includes various fibers with shapes and patterns. The flexible fibers are treated to have germicide particles in them. The various shapes, sizes, and patterns of the flexible fibers create a large surface area that the germs can contact when they are expelled into the air. Once the germ absorbing layer is used the layer may be discarded and a new layer may be attached to the wearable member for repeated use.

  • Patent number: 10806194
    Abstract: The composition of beauty gloves consist of gloves, a mirror, cosmetics and cosmetic brushes that are all integrated into a pair of gloves. Beauty gloves give the consumer the freedom of not carrying a handbag or beauty bag while still having the ability to carry a mirror, cosmetics and cosmetic brushes for makeup application almost anywhere. Beauty gloves can be worn while driving, bike riding and with most sports related activities. Prior to beauty gloves, in the current state of art, gloves are used independently as a fashion accessory for warmth and hand protection. Cosmetics, mirrors and makeup brushes are marketed independently or combined in a compact. The invention of beauty gloves integrates the three aforementioned components into one pair of gloves, that include a mirror, cosmetics and cosmetic brushes.

  • Patent number: 10695603
    Abstract: A slap wrap style grip augmentation strap is provided in which the extended securing strap is lined with a bistable ribbon formed of metal or similarly functioning material. The lined strap extends from a wrist loop and provide a self-wrapping ability which allows the user to get a tighter and more uniform grip that was previously much harder or near impossible to obtain with other lifting straps. Gripping efficiency is improved with quickly applied, strong and equal equally applied attachment to a targeted piece of exercise equipment. The use of a strap of the present invention will encourage proper body mechanics during lifting exercises that would help prevent these potential dangers. The instant abstract is neither intended to define the invention disclosed in this specification nor intended to limit the scope of the invention in any way.
