The cushion layer as disclosed herein provides soft and plush surface for users to rest their palm upon. The cushion layer not only adds a luxurious touch to the frame 104 but also a practical purpose by reducing pressure points and prompting proper wrist alignment. Next, a strap provided on the frame 104 loops around the palm to fasten a position of the palm on the frame 104. The strap crafted from high quality flexible material, especially leather, as for fastening palm on the frame 104.

[0028] Upon positioning the palm on the frame 104, the microcontroller actuates a pneumatic pusher 202 provided below the frame 104, for extending to push a finger support part with a finger of the user with a stuck ring. The pneumatic pusher 202 used herein is powered by the pneumatic unit comprises of an air compressor, air cylinder, air valves and piston. The air valve that allows entry or exit of the compressed air from the compressor. Furthermore, the valve opens and the compressed air enters inside the cylinder thereby increasing the air pressure of the cylinder.

The pins 107 are equipped with the pneumatic unit that is activated by the microcontroller to provide extension and retraction of the pins 107 in order to creating the gap between the stuck ring and the finger of the user.

[0031] After successfully creating the gap between the stuck ring and the finger of the user, the microcontroller actuates an ultrasonic sensor provided in the housing 101 for detecting a gap height between the finger and the ring. The ultrasonic sensor works by emitting ultrasonic waves and then measuring the time taken by these waves to bounce back after hitting the surface of the gap between finger and ring. The ultrasonic sensor includes two main parts viz. transmitter, and a receiver.

[0032] The transmitter sends a short ultrasonic pulse towards the surface of gap between finger and ring which propagates through the air at the speed of sound and reflects back as an echo to the transmitter as the pulse hits the gap between finger and ring. The transmitter then detects the reflected eco from the surface of gap between finger and ring and calculations is performed by the sensor based on the time interval between the sending signal and receiving echo to determine the gap height of the gap between finger and ring. The determined data is sent to the microcontroller in a signal form. The microcontroller upon receiving the signal compares the received signal with the pre-fed data stored in the microcontroller database and based on the compared data, the microcontroller detects the gap height between the finger and the ring to trigger a microcontroller to actuate a triangular inflation member 108 to insert in the gap if the detected gap height is greater than a threshold gap height.

The inflation unit used herein consists of an impeller that is configured with a motor and linked with the microcontroller. The mechanical energy from the motor is used to transfer air from surrounding to the triangular inflatable member 108. The inflatable member 108 s are laminated of multiple thin polymeric films, when air is inserted in the inflatable member 108 by means of inflation unit, the films are puffed and the member 108 becomes soft. On actuation of the motor, the impeller rotates to suck the surrounding air and directs high speed compressed air within the inflatable member 108 in order to extend and insert in the gap between the finger and the ring to increase the gap.

[0034] Besides, an artificial intelligence-based imaging unit 111 installed in the housing 101 and integrated with a processor for recording and processing images in a vicinity of the housing 101. The artificial intelligence-based imaging unit 111 is equipped with AI (Artificial Intelligent) protocols encrypted in the microcontroller are used to process and analyses the images captured by the camera enabling it to perform various tasks beyond traditional image capturing.

[0035] The AI analysis is performed locally on the camera itself and the real-time processing on the camera enables immediate responses and faster decision-making. The camera, herein captures images of the housing 101 with the help of specialized lenses designed to capture high-quality visuals. The captured data is now pre-processed via the processor to enhance its quality and prepare it for AI analysis. This pre-processing involves tasks such as noise reduction, image stabilization, or color correction. The processed data is fed into AI protocols for analysis which utilizes machine learning techniques, such as deep learning neural networks, to extract meaningful information present in the images. Based on extraction of the data from the captured images, the microcontroller determine a gap created between the ring and the finger. Based on the determined gap created between the ring and the finger microcontroller actuates ball and socket joint 114 and the telescopic link 112 to position the cutting wheel 113 to cut the ring to avoid an injury to the finger.

The pneumatic unit comprises of an air compressor, air cylinder, air valves and piston. The air valve that allows entry or exit of the compressed air from the compressor. Furthermore, the valve opens and the compressed air enters inside the cylinder thereby increasing the air pressure of the cylinder.

[0037] The piston is connected to the cylinder and due to the increase in the air pressure, the piston extends due to which the link 112 extends/retracts the positioning of the motorized cutting wheel 113, herein the ball and socket joint 114 attached to the cutting wheel 113. The ball and socket joint 114 provides a rotation to the cutting wheel 113 for aiding the cutting of the stuck ring to turn at a desired angle. The ball and socket joint 114 is a coupling consisting of a ball joint securely locked within a socket joint 114, where the ball joint is able to move in a 360-dgree rotation within the socket thus, providing the required rotational motion to the cutting wheel 113. The ball and socket joint 114 is powered by a DC (direct current) motor that is actuated by the microcontroller thus providing multidirectional movement to the in order to cut the stuck ring on the finger.

[0038] Thereafter, a semi-cylindrical protective shield 109 attached to a linear actuator 110 provided in the flap 106, wherein the linear actuator 110 extends the shield 109 to create a protective layer on the finger during the cutting. The linear actuator 110 as disclosed herein is comprises of a motor, a lead screw and a nut. When activated by the microcontroller, the motor generates rotational force, which is then converted into linear motion through the interaction between the lead screw and the nut. The lead screw, driven by the motor, turns and causes the nut to move along its threads. This movement pushes or pulls the connected chain, exerting pressure on the targeted rivet. As the actuator 110 extends, it applies the necessary force to extend the shield 109 to create a protective layer on the finger during the cutting, thereby prevent chances of injury to the user finger.

The microphone 120 receives sound waves generated by energy emitted from the voice command in the form of vibrations. After then, the sound waves are transmitted towards a diaphragm configured with a coil.

[0043] Upon transmitting the waves within the diaphragm, the diaphragm strikes with the waves due to which the coil starts moving the diaphragm with a back-and-forth movement in presence of magnetic field generated from the coil. After that electric signal is emitted from the coil due to back-and-forth movement of the diaphragm which is further transmitted to a microcontroller linked with the microphone 120 to process the signal to analyze the signal for detecting voice command given by the user.
