  • Patent number: 11920771
    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.

  • Patent number: 11877672
    Abstract: An attachment device is provided which allows a range of accessories to be mounted above a bassinet. The attachment device includes two clamps which are biased by a spring to be pulled toward one another, a vertical pole, and an arm which may be curved such that it attaches to the vertical pole at one end and may be substantially horizontal at the other end. The end of the arm furthest from the pole includes an attachment point for attaching accessories. An adapter may be used to connect the accessories to the attachment point. Specific safety measures may also be provided to prevent the attachment device from falling forward into the bassinet and to allow the attachment device to be removed quickly if necessary.

  • Publication number: 20240016416
    Abstract: This disclosure generally relates to systems and methods for detecting, monitoring, and responding to abnormalities in an infant's heartbeat. One or more sensing devices may collect infant heartbeat related data, which may be filtered and converted to a frequency signal. The frequency signal may be monitored for irregularity or stoppage, and a processing module may determine whether the irregularity or stoppage is caused by an actual stoppage or irregularity in infant heartbeat. If infant heartbeat is determined to have stopped, a corrective action may be performed.

  • Publication number: 20230270337
    Abstract: This disclosure generally relates to systems and methods for video detection of breathing rates in a subject, such as a sleeping baby. One or more video cameras may capture video of the subject. The video may be corrected and then a featured signal may be generated from the corrected video. A respiratory rate detector may be built to output a signal that represents breathing of the subject in the video. The signal may be corrected for any double detections. A breathing rate of the subject may be determined, and then the breathing rate of the subject may be output. In some examples, if the breathing rate is determined to be abnormal, an alarm or notification of the abnormality may be generated, or a moving platform on or in which the subject is sleeping may be moved.

    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.

  • Patent number: 11494881
    Abstract: A method of global movement image stabilization may include calculating a global motion group parameter with respect to first and second sequential frames for two or more elementary 2D motion components of a motion group. Each global motion group parameter may be applied to a motion group vector field that corresponds to the elementary 2D motion component to which the respective global motion group parameter applies to generate a global motion group vector field corresponding to each elementary 2D motion component of the motion group. The global motion group vector fields may be summed pointwise to generate a global motion deformation vector field that provides global motion from the second frame to the first frame. The global deformation vector field may be cumulated with a previous cumulative global deformation vector field that provides global movement from the first frame to one or more previous frames to generate a current cumulative global motion deformation vector field.
