  • Patent number: 5913834
    Abstract: A system for generating and delivering various types of sensory effects to a fetus or so-called "fetal child" through a mother's abdomen and simultaneously allowing for the monitoring of the effects on the fetus. In a preferred embodiment, the system relies upon the generation of light of various intensities, wavelengths or color to provide certain types of stimulation to the fetus. Vibrations or magnetic effects can also be transmitted across the abdomen wall of the mother to the fetus. The system utilizes a belt which is worn about the abdomen of the mother and includes transducers located in the region of the fetal child for imparting the desired sensory effect. A stethoscope or like device can be mounted in and carried by the belt and is designed for juxtaposition to the abdomen and in proximity to the fetus. The stethoscope head piece can be worn by the mother to determine the effects of the stimulus on the fetus.

  • Patent number: 5764776
    Abstract: A system for generating and delivering various types of sensory effects to a fetus or so-called "fetal child" through a mother's abdomen and simultaneously allowing for the monitoring of the effects on the fetus. In a preferred embodiment, the system relies upon the generation of light of various densities, wavelengths or color to provide certain types of stimulation to the fetus. Vibrations or magnetic effects can also be transmitted across the abdomen wall of the mother to the fetus. The system utilizes a belt which is worn about the abdomen of the mother and includes transducers located in the region of the fetal child for imparting the desired sensory effect.

  • Patent number: 5491756
    Abstract: A system for generating and delivering sound to a fetus or so-called "fetal child" through the mother's abdomen and which also allows for the monitoring of the effects of sound on the fetal child. The system comprises a belt adapted to be worn about the abdomen area of the mother and includes speakers located in the region of the fetal child for imparting sound through the abdomen wall to the fetal child. The speakers are connected to a sound generator, such as a tape recorder or the like. A stethoscope sensor is mounted in and carried by the belt and is also located in juxtaposition to the abdomen in proximity to the fetal child in order to determine the effects of the sounds on the fetal child. The stethoscope sensor is attachably connected to a stethoscope adapted to be worn by the mother or other user.
