  • Patent number: 8663126
    Abstract: The wearable acoustic device for monitoring breathing sounds includes an acoustic sensor and audible/visual indicators triggered by device electronics indicating normal, abnormal, and severity of abnormal bronchial asthmatic breathing. An elastic belt holds the device. Fasteners disposed on the belt allow the belt to be secured around the baby's chest. An oximeter may be connected to the device to measure percentage oxygen intake of the baby. A processor disposed in the device processes the oximeter and acoustic signals via an algorithmic sequence that looks for oxygen intake and the presence of bronchial asthmatic breathing vs. a normal breathing/oxygen intake sample stored in memory on the device. A transmitter powered by rechargeable batteries wirelessly transmits the alarm condition to the baby's caretaker. Depending on the normality/severity of the infant's breathing, an audible alarm sounds. The visual indicator displays severity of the breathing condition.

  • Patent number: 8568352
    Abstract: A nursing device for feeding infants with a cleft lip and/or cleft palate includes upper and lower portions. The upper portion includes a bottle with an opening in its top for containing a liquid, a nipple and a screw cap for maintaining the nipple in sealing engagement with the opening. A submersible pump is disposed in the bottom of the bottle and connected to an opening in the nipple by a tube. A lower portion of the device includes a motor and a magnetic coupling for activating the pump. A microprocessor control timer includes means for regulating the timing and flow of a feeding cycle with a display for help in regulating the feeding cycle. Alternatively, the motor, pump, controls, and power supply may be disposed at the top of the bottle as a removable unit.

  • Patent number: 8568351
    Abstract: A nursing device for feeding infants with a cleft lip and/or cleft palate includes a nipple body and a tube operatively attached at one end to a pump for pumping liquid and operatively attached at the other end to the nipple body. The tube passively regulates the amount of liquid being pumped, ensuring that the infant can feed with minimal mess from the infirmities of cleft lip and/or cleft palate. The nipple body includes an outer flange and a cap for sealing engagement with the top of a nursing bottle. A shield can be used to cover the nipple body, which serves to protect and form a temporary reservoir for the liquid dispensed through the nipple body.
