Multifunctional system for use in e.g. space suit for astronaut, for providing treatment of e.g. skin lesions of human, has two pumps supplying fluids and continuously controlled by computer-aided system over sensor unit

Simple SummaryContent extracted from patent full text and abstract with AI.

This patent describes a multifunctional system integrated into a flexible suit (such as a space suit) for use by humans, especially astronauts. The suit contains interconnected fluid and air distribution systems controlled by a computer system. Sensors monitor the user's physical load, allowing the suit to dynamically supply fluids (like water or air) to treat or maintain the wearer's health, such as treating skin lesions or adjusting for changing body conditions.

Use CasesContent extracted from patent full text and abstract with AI.

• Space suits for astronauts to provide real-time skincare and hygiene treatment during missions
• Medical recovery suits for bedridden or immobile patients to improve circulation and skin health
• Wearable therapeutic garments for people with chronic skin conditions
• Smart clothing for extreme environments (e.g., deep-sea divers, miners) to manage microclimate and bodily needs

BenefitsContent extracted from patent full text and abstract with AI.

• Continuous, automated monitoring and adjustment based on real-time sensor feedback for optimal health maintenance
• Enhanced treatment of skin lesions and prevention of complications associated with prolonged suit wearing
• Potential to tailor fluid (e.g., air, water) delivery to the individual's needs, improving comfort and safety
• Reduced risk of infections and other health risks by integrating filtering and circulation systems
• Increased autonomy for users in remote or hazardous environments

Patent Abstract

The system has a flexible cloth piece (1) e.g. full-body suit, including an outer surface (2) and an internal surface (3). A first flexible tube system (5) for fluid i.e. water, and second and third flexible tube systems (6a, 6b) for another fluid i.e. air. Flexible components (4) e.g. ribs, are arranged on an internal surface, and a sensor unit (11) detects load condition of an organism i.e. human. Two pumps (13, 14) supply the fluids, and are continuously controlled by a computer-aided system (17) over the sensor unit, where one of the pumps includes a filter system. The flexible tube systems are formed as a closed circuit.
