Abstract: A method of global movement image stabilization may include calculating a global motion group parameter with respect to first and second sequential frames for two or more elementary 2D motion components of a motion group. Each global motion group parameter may be applied to a motion group vector field that corresponds to the elementary 2D motion component to which the respective global motion group parameter applies to generate a global motion group vector field corresponding to each elementary 2D motion component of the motion group. The global motion group vector fields may be summed pointwise to generate a global motion deformation vector field that provides global motion from the second frame to the first frame. The global deformation vector field may be cumulated with a previous cumulative global deformation vector field that provides global movement from the first frame to one or more previous frames to generate a current cumulative global motion deformation vector field.

Abstract: A pet calming system may include a pet bed including one or more of a breathing device, a massage device, a sound generator, or a heater. The breathing device may be configured to simulate breathing along at least a portion of an interior side of one or more sidewalls of the bed. The massage device may provide a massaging motion along at least a portion of the interior side of the one or more sidewalls. The sound generator may output sound into a bed space of the bed. The heater may provide heat along at least a portion of an interior side of the one or more sidewalls, a base of the bed or both.

Abstract: An infant sleep device may include a platform for supporting an infant, a base upon which the platform is supported, and one or more weight sensors positioned to measure weight of an infant positioned on the platform.

Abstract: A swaddle garment may include a body having a back side and a front side that together define an interior space for swaddling an infant. The front side may include a first side and a second side that are selectively couplable to enclose the interior space. A harness is attached or attachable within the interior space along the backside of the body of the swaddle garment. The harness includes a back side, a torso wrap, and a diaper flap. The back side positions along a portion of the back side of the body. The torso wrap is configured wrap around a torso of an infant and may include a first side and a second side extendable from the back side of the torso wrap. The diaper flap is configured to wrap around a crotch of the infant and may be extendable from the back side of the harness from an anchor end to a securing end.

Abstract: A combination nursing article includes a first piece and a second piece. The first piece may include an upper portion, a lower portion, and an empire waist between the upper and lower portions. The upper portion may include an upper inner layer configured to extend around a bust of a wearer. The second piece may include an upper outer layer configured to be worn as a camisole bra over the upper inner layer. The second piece may also include an elastomeric band configured to extend over the first piece, below breasts and around a torso of the wearer. When worn, a lower edge of the second piece is configured to be lifted and pulled upwardly to expose an upper edge of the upper inner portion and the upper edge of the upper inner portion is configured to be pulled downwardly to expose a nipple for nursing.

Abstract: This disclosure generally relates to systems and methods for detecting, monitoring, and responding to abnormalities in a subject's breathing or heartbeat. One or more sensing devices may collect breathing or heartbeat related data, which may be filtered and converted to a frequency signal. The frequency signal may be monitored for irregularity or stoppage, and a processing module may determine whether the irregularity or stoppage is caused by an actual stoppage or irregularity in breathing or heartbeat. If breathing or heartbeat is determined to have stopped, a corrective action may be performed.

Abstract: An infant calming/sleep-aid device that includes a moving platform and a sound generator, the sound and motion adapted to calm a fussy baby, induce sleep, and maintain sleep under normal conditions. The device makes a determination as to whether sound signals represent sound coming from inside the device or outside the device. If the sound signals are coming from the inside the device, then the signals are evaluated in a specified frequency band to determine whether the sound is a baby cry. If a determination is made that there is a baby cry, then a threshold analysis is performed to quantify the cry and compare it to a threshold value. If the cry is above a specified threshold, the device moves the platform and/or generates sound.

Abstract: An infant calming/sleep-aid/SIDS detection device is provided that includes a main moving platform that moves in a variable manner with accompanying variable sound generation, the sound and motion adapted to calm a fussy baby, induce sleep, and maintain sleep under normal conditions. The device may also have a sensor for detection of pauses in breathing and/or detection of resultant biological changes related to breathing pauses and respond with appropriate stimuli to arouse the baby and allow breathing to recommence.

Abstract: An attachment device is provided which allows a range of accessories to be mounted above a bassinet. The attachment device includes two clamps which are biased by a spring to be pulled toward one another, a vertical pole, and an arm which may be curved such that it attaches to the vertical pole at one end and may be substantially horizontal at the other end. The end of the arm furthest from the pole includes an attachment point for attaching accessories. An adapter may be used to connect the accessories to the attachment point. Specific safety measures may also be provided to prevent the attachment device from falling forward into the bassinet and to allow the attachment device to be removed quickly if necessary.
