Abstract
A device for use by an individual for sexual pleasure varying in form, i.e. shape, during its use and allowing for the user to select multiple variations of form either discretely or in combination and for these dynamic variations to be controllable simultaneously and interchangeably while being transparent to the normal use of the device, including the ability to insert, withdraw, rotate, and actuate the variable features manually or remotely. According to embodiments of the invention localized and global variations of devices are implemented using fluidics and electromagnetic pumps/valves wherein a fluid is employed such that controlling the pressure of the fluid results in the movement of an element within the device or the expansion/contraction of an element within the device.
Claims9
A portable device comprising:
- a battery powered hydraulic pump for pumping a hydraulic fluid from a pump inlet to a pump outlet;
- a fluidic circuit comprising a fluidic loop fluidically coupled between the pump outlet and the pump inlet, the fluidic circuit comprising:
- a first fluidic actuator capable of varying at least one of its shape, size, orientation and hardness using the hydraulic fluid;
- a first electrically controlled fluidic switch for controlling flow of the hydraulic fluid flowing between the pump outlet, the pump inlet and the first fluidic actuator.
