Abstract: A convertible soothing seat for an infant is provided. The convertible soothing seat includes a support frame and a seat portion pivotably connected to the support frame. The seat portion is pivotable between a soothing configuration and a sleep-safe configuration, and includes a retractable harness. The retractable harness covers a portion of the seat portion in a covering position when the seat portion is in the soothing configuration and retracts to a retracted position wherein the retractable harness does not cover the portion of the seat portion when the seat portion is in the sleep-safe configuration.

Abstract: A baby bouncer with assistance having a base, a seat to receive a baby, a joint connecting the seat with the base and configured to support the seat above the base, and an actuator connected between the base and the seat. The joint permits reciprocating motion of the seat relative to the base. The actuator can impart a driving force on the seat.

Abstract: A method of monitoring the condition of a soothing seat for an infant is provided. The method can include receiving an input from an electronic sensor of the soothing seat, the input indicative of a condition of the soothing seat, receiving one or more pre-determined parameters indicative of the condition of the soothing seat being in an actionable state, determining based on the input from the electronic sensor and the one or more pre-determined parameters that the condition of the soothing seat is in the actionable state, and controlling an output to implement a remedial action.

Abstract: A convertible soothing seat for an infant is provided. The convertible soothing seat can include a support frame and a seat portion pivotably connected to the support frame. The seat portion can actuate between a soothing configuration and a sleep-safe configuration, and can include a retractable harness. The retractable harness can cover a portion of the seat portion in a covering position when the seat portion is in the soothing configuration and can retract to a retracted position wherein the retractable harness does not cover the portion of the seat portion when the seat portion is in the sleep-safe configuration, and the retractable harness can retract in response to the actuation of the seat portion from the soothing configuration to the sleep-safe configuration.

Abstract: An additive manufacturing system includes a housing defining a chamber and a build platform disposed in a lower portion of the chamber. The additive manufacturing system includes a first gas inlet, disposed in a first side-wall of the chamber, configured to supply a first gas flow parallel to the build platform. The additive manufacturing system also includes a second gas inlet configured to supply a second gas flow in a direction substantially perpendicular to the build platform. The additive manufacturing system further includes a gas outlet configured to discharge the first and second gas flows from the chamber.

Abstract: A system for providing securement of a plurality of secure portable encasements including one or more encasements each configured to engage, and subsequently disengage, inseparable interaction with a common docking unit; and one or more common docking units.

Abstract: An additive manufacturing apparatus is presented. The additive manufacturing apparatus includes a housing defining a chamber, a build platform disposed in the chamber, a first gas inlet configured to supply a first gas flow above the build platform, a second gas inlet configured to supply a second gas flow above the first gas flow and in substantially same direction to the first gas flow and a gas outlet configured to discharge a gas flow. An additive manufacturing method for fabricating an article is also presented.

Abstract: A wireless sensor assembly for monitoring conditions in an ambient environment, such as for use in a climate control system for a data center is disclosed. The sensor assembly has a small form-factor housing extending along a longitudinal axis and defining an interior space. A sensor circuit is disposed within the housing and includes at least one sensor element for detecting temperature and/or humidity that is enclosed within a vented sub-chamber of the housing. A mounting member forming part of an exterior surface of the housing mounts the sensor assembly vertically along the at an installation location within an ambient environment being monitored.

Abstract: The present invention relates to blood serum and dermally-derived cells for use in tissue repair. Particularly it relates to blood serum and collagen producing cells for use in the treatment of connective tissue injuries. Preferably the cells and the blood serum are autologous and the connective tissue to be repaired is a tendon or ligament. Also provided is a method of treating connective tissue injuries by the administration of blood serum and collagen producing cells directly to the site of injury. It also relates to the use of blood serum and muscle-like cells for use in the treatment of muscle injury, particularly skeletal muscle injury.
