Devices, systems and methods are disclosed which relate to a wearable alert device that emits a physical stimulation upon receiving a signal from a wireless communication device. The wireless communication device is in wireless communication with the wearable alert device, and the wireless communication device sends alerts to the wearable alert device each time it receives an incoming call. The alert is received by the wearable alert device, which in turn emits the physical stimulation to the user wearing it.

A garment with prepositioned, definite sensory stimulating devices attached. These sensory stimulating devices include, but are not limited to, electrical stimulation, audio and physical stimulation such as localised force generation, compression, constriction, vibration, and surround sound. Predetermined and defined actuators allow the wearer to receive tissue, nerve and / or muscle stimulation and / or contraction so that the stimulation is precise as determined by its ability to conform to the scientific methodology of repeatability, reproducibility and reliability; this being due to consistency of actuator positioning in one or multiple locals on the human body. A personal surround sound can also be integrated to the garment to ensure the wearer is always in the optimal position relative the speakers. These actuators can be force generators within the garment for the wearer to feel impact or apparatus or electrodes included in the garment to locally constrict and increase pressure on the wearer.

The present invention relates to a laser hair-loss treatment device. The laser hair-loss treatment device of the present invention comprises a cap provided in such a way as to cover the head of the user and comprises a laser assembly which is provided on the inside of the cap and which receives power and irradiates laser light under control by means of a controller. This hair-loss treatment device further comprises: a resilient pad attached to the inside of the cap; a circuit substrate which is attached to one surface of the resilient pad and which is provided with a heat-emitting body for receiving electrical power and emitting heat; vibrating motors which are provided electrically connected to the circuit substrate, and which are respectively provided in positions where they do not positionally interfere with the heat-emitting body, and which also generate vibrations upon receipt of an electrical power-source supply; and laser assemblies which are provided on one side of the vibrating motors, are electrically connected to the circuit substrate, and one end of each of which is attached to the scalp of the user by being provided passing through and projecting from assembly holes formed in the resilient pads. The laser hair-loss treatment device according to the present invention is beneficial in that it can activate hair-root cells in a complex fashion through thermal stimulation using a heat-emitting element and physical stimulation using a vibrational element and optical-pulse stimulation for a laser diode on the scalp of the wearer, and thereby promote hair growth and prevent hair loss. Additionally, the present invention is advantageous in that it can provide enhanced working efficiency in disassembly and assembly since the laser-diode assembly has a straightforward construction, and in that it can multiply laser and drug penetration since the laser irradiation and vibration are transmitted in a state in which the lens and lens cap are attached to the scalp.

A transformable toy which is transformed without any direct touching by a user, displays visual information that is invisible before the form of the toy is changed, and has a game element in addition to the form change is provided. A transformable toy reversibly transformed between a first form and a second form includes a toy main body which changes its form to form the first form and the second form, a restricting mechanism which restricts the form change of the toy main body, and a transformation activating body for detecting physical stimulation from outside and releasing the restriction by the restricting mechanism. The toy main body includes a display body having visual information thereon, and the display body is disposed at such a position that the visual information of the display body is invisible to a user in the first form while the visual information of the display body is visible to the user in the second form.

A cell / tissue culture apparatus is suitable for a culture of a cultivated object of a cell or tissue adapted for a prescribed portion of a living body of a breast and so on, a culture chamber (18, a culture vessel 10) which accommodates a cell or tissue to be cultivated and also makes a culture fluid (34) circulate is formed by a flexible material (flexible films 12, 14), and the culture chamber is immersed in a fluid (water 8). A pressure or an oscillation is given to the culture chamber installed in the fluid, and a physical stimulation due to the pressure from the fluid or the oscillation of the fluid is given to a cell or tissue under a culture.

A cell / tissue culture apparatus for applying a desired tensile stress to a material to be cultivated such as a cell or tissue as a physical stimulation, thereby enhancing acceleration of culture of the material to be cultivated. The cell / tissue culture apparatus comprises a chamber (a culture chamber 8) for circulating a culture fluid (24), a material to be cultivated (a matrix 32) that is placed and cultivated in the chamber, stress generation means (an electromagnetic stretcher 38, an actuator 56) for causing a tensile stress to act on the material to be cultivated from an outside of the chamber, and control means (controllers 50, 60) for causing the tensile stress generated by the stress generation means to intermit as well as undergo gradual increase or gradual decrease. The material to be cultivated can be caused to undergo expansion or contraction by applying and relieving the tensile stress, thereby applying a physical stimulation necessary for the proliferation to the material to be cultivated.

The invention discloses an interpenetrating network hydrogel based on alginic acid and oligopeptide and a preparation method thereof. The interpenetrating network hydrogel is characterized in that two materials with different gelatinization mechanism properties are combined. A preparation process comprises the following two steps: (1) by utilizing temperature responsive properties of an oligopeptide gel behavior, mixing sodium alginate and the oligopeptide at a temperature higher than a critical gel temperature, and firstly, obtaining first network polysaccharide gel by adding multivalent metal ions; (2) cooling the first network polysaccharide gel to be lower than the critical gel temperature, wherein the oligopeptide is self-assembled between first networks through pi-pi accumulation effect and a hydrogen bond, and is further gelatinized to obtain a second network. The interpenetrating network hydrogel disclosed by the invention has a more dense network structure and higher mechanical strength and the content is not easy to leak; a multi-responsiveness function unit is convenient to design and the releasing of medicines is controlled by using different physical stimulations.

The present invention relates to a pair of functional shoes, which enables both physical stimulation and electrical stimulation to be transmitted to the heel portions of feet and specific portions of ankles, which are helpful in promoting height growth, using the force that is generating while walking, thus stimulating growth plates.
