Abstract: The Climatic Enhancer is a sexual/sensual massager. A battery operated controller sends 3.0 volts and low amperage signal to the electric motor/counterweight (see DWG B). This current rotates the counterweight producing a small stimulating vibration. The electric motor/counterweight transfers this vibration into the rubber silicone pad produced from the mold spreader (see DWG C). The mold spreader is sown onto a base cloth (see DWG D) then an upper layer of cloth (per DWG D) is sown over the spreader and base cloth. This allows the user to have a soft and cushioned pad to press against and receive the vibration sensation in their coital area. This product has quick disconnect clips that attach the Climatic Enhancer to allow it to be placed around the wearer's leg (see DWG A).

Abstract: A non-invasive method and apparatus are provided for treating orthostatic hypotension and for reducing the effects caused there from.

If the displacement sensor did not sense any substantial movement of the body part for a predetermined period of time the processor sends a signal to a vibrating mechanism. The signal activates the vibrating mechanism causing vibration of the body part for increasing blood and fluid flow in the lower extremities.
