This invention relates to a massager and a massing method. There has been known a conventional leg massager described in Japanese Utility Model Registration No. 3043777. However, there are great differences between individuals in their configurations of the legs, i.e. the above-knee and below-knee parts. Specifically, the shape of the leg portion from ankle to calf of leg differs greatly in individuals, the conventional massager has suffered a disadvantage such that it is difficult to massage the whole leg sufficiently with a single roller and the work becomes onerous where changing the roller in accordance with the shape of the leg. In the light of the foregoing disadvantages of the conventional massager, the present invention was made to provide a massager comprising stays connecting a plurality of rollers, and operating parts extending longitudinally from the stays. With the massager, a massage can be applied to the arm or leg of a user by handling the operating parts extending so as to incline the stays for adjusting the inclination of the stays, consequently to allow the rollers to conform to the shape of the arm or leg and exert massaging pressure on the arm or leg while rotating the rollers along the arm or leg without weakening the massaging pressure. Thus, the massage can be given to the entire aim and leg of the user in an unrestrained operation without restricting the posture of the user being massaged with the massager. In order to solve all of the conventional problems imposed by the conventional massagers, according to the present invention there is provided a massager comprising stays, operating parts formed on the stays, and roller means comprising a plurality of rollers, which are rotatably supported by the stays for holding an arm or leg between the rollers and adjustable in distance therebetween by handling the operating parts to change the inclination of the stays. That is, smooth rolling pressure can readily be given to the arm or leg by handling the operating parts to allow the rollers to conform to the configuration of the arm or leg and rotating the rollers along the arm or leg held between the rollers, while varying the inclination of the stays to adjust the distance between the rollers.

The invention discloses a single-leg structure for a wheel-leg type robot in leg-arm mixing operation. A cockroach is simulated by applying bionic mechanism principles, and front three joints, namely a buttock joint, a hip joint and a knee joint, are arranged; rear three operating joints are respectively a first ankle joint, a second ankle joint and a third ankle joint; steering engines of the three front joints are directly connected with femur parts and drive the femur parts to rotate; a driving motor of the first ankle joint also adopts a direct-driving manner; for the rear two joints, because of the limit to the total length of a single leg and a demand for preventing motion interference, the second ankle joint is driven by adopting worm wheels and a worm; the third ankle joint uses gears to transmit power; a rolling wheel is arranged between the knee joint and the first ankle joint, and the switchover between a wheel rolling mode and a walking mode can be realized. The single-leg structure disclosed by the invention has the advantages that a tail end can form various postures, and many postures can be adopted when the robot stands or walks; whether the robot performs single-leg-arm mixing operation or double-leg-arm coordination, many route planning methods can be selected, and the flexibility is high.

A system of mobile devices that reduces the transmission strength of outgoing signals originating from a handheld device, and sends such signals to a second device, situated near or on a lower-body location, where the signals may be amplified to the current permitted maximum transmission strength vis-a-vis the brain (SAR), or above that level to the greater maximum strength permitted in the areas of, e.g., the feet and ankles, where the signal is then sent outward. The devices divert radio frequency (RF) radiation exposure downward toward the lower extremities. The intelligence and power of the devices may be split between two or more devices, resulting in longer use time, deeper and more complex computing capability, and fewer disruptions due to power. In addition, a benefit in one or more embodiments is better, more reliable reception, due to the use of two or more coordinated receiving antennas.
