  • Sleeping pad, beddings and bumpers to improve respiratory efficiency and environmental temperature of an infant and reduce the risks of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) and asphyxiation
    Patent number: 6055690
    Abstract: Rebreathing carbon dioxide and overheating of the infant are contributing causes of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) and asphyxiation. The characteristics of conventional crib mattresses, beddings and bumper pads contribute to rebreathing of carbon dioxide and overheating of the infant and may be contributing environmental causes of SIDS, asphyxiation, apnea syndromes and hypoventilation. The present invention consists of improved sleeping pads, beddings and bumper pads which reduce rebreathing of carbon dioxide and overheating and provide increased crib ventilation to stimulate breathing.

  • Goniometer
    Patent number: 5163228
    Abstract: A system for measuring an inputting range of motion data to a computer comprises a goniometer for measuring range of motion and for producing a range of motion signal from those measurements. A plurality of switches are carried by the goniometer for producing control signals. An interface device receives the range of motion signal and digitizes that signal to produce range of motion data. The interface device also receives the control signals which are used to control the input of the range of motion data to the computer.
