Abstract: A night light includes a housing, a light source provided in the housing, a speaker provided in the housing, a battery provided in the housing to power the night light, a controller configured to control operation of the night light, a stand adapted to receive the housing to charge the battery, and a sensor configured to detect whether the housing is positioned on the stand or not. The controller is configured to reduce sound volume output from the speaker, or disable a wireless communication port associated with the housing when the housing is not detected to be on the stand.

Abstract: A device for providing light and sound to a surrounding area configured to output sound and light in combination of a breathing cadence to calm a subject. The device includes a light configured to emit light at varying colors and levels of intensity synchronized with varying volumes of the sound output. The intensity of light output may increase during an inhalation period of the cadence and decrease during an exhalation period of the cadence. The cadence may be adjusted, manually or automatically, or matched to a user's breathing pattern, to provide desired light and sound combination to provide a calming effect. The sound output may be white noise, pink noise, or Brown noise, or a recording of other sounds.

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.

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 device for providing light and sound to a surrounding area configured to output sound and light in combination of a breathing cadence to calm a subject. The device may include a light configured to emit light at varying levels of intensity in synchronization with the varying volumes of the sound output by the device. The intensity of light output by the device may increase during an inhalation period of the cadence and decrease during an exhalation period of the cadence. The cadence may vary to assist in calming, or detect the user’s breathing pattern and automatically provide an optimal light and sound combination to achieve calming. The sound output by the device may be noise, such as white noise, pink noise, or Brown noise or recording of a breath or any other sound considered calming.

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 infant calming/sleep-aid device includes a main moving platform that moves in a reciprocating manner and an actuator that drives the reciprocating movement of the main moving platform. The moving head platform is linked to the main moving platform and at least one of a motion sensing device and a sound sensing device are either at or proximate to a moving head platform that is pivotally linked to the main moving platform. A logic circuit links at least one of the motion and sound sensing devices of the infant calming/sleep aid-device to the main moving platform whereby signals detected modulate movement of the main moving platform. A sound generating device is linked to the logic circuit.

Abstract: An infant calming/sleep-aid/SIDS detection device is provided that includes a 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 moving platform is above a carrier and in contact with at least one bearing between the carrier and the moving platform, wherein the moving platform is rotatable in a plane substantially parallel to a major plane of the carrier in an oscillatory manner relative to the carrier and about an axis of rotation. A controllable motor controls movement of the moving platform about the center of rotation of the at least one bearing relative to the carrier, the motor including an oscillating post that engages with a guide track on the moving platform to cause oscillatory movement of the moving platform.
