Patent number: 11712180Abstract: This disclosure generally relates to systems and methods for detecting, monitoring, and responding to abnormalities in an infant's breathing. One or more sensing devices may collect infant breathing 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 breathing. If infant breathing is determined to have stopped, a corrective action may be performed.Type: GrantFiled: June 18, 2020Date of Patent: August 1, 2023Assignee: HB Innovations, Inc.Inventor: Peter Fornell

Publication number: 20230144816Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 5, 2021Publication date: May 11, 2023Applicant: HB Innovations, Inc.Inventors: Harvey Neil Karp, Peter Fornell

Patent number: 11494881Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: December 29, 2020Date of Patent: November 8, 2022Assignee: HB Innovations, Inc.Inventors: George H. Petkov, Stiliyan Kalitzin, Peter Fornell

Publication number: 20210338972Abstract: An infant calming/sleep-aid device that includes a moving platform and a sound generator, the sound and motion adapted to calm a fussy baby, induce sleep, and maintain sleep under normal conditions. The device makes a determination as to whether sound signals represent sound coming from inside the device or outside the device. If the sound signals are coming from the inside the device, then the signals are evaluated in a specified frequency band to determine whether the sound is a baby cry. If a determination is made that there is a baby cry, then a threshold analysis is performed to quantify the cry and compare it to a threshold value. If the cry is above a specified threshold, the device moves the platform and/or generates sound.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 6, 2021Publication date: November 4, 2021Applicant: HB Innovations, Inc.Inventors: Harvey Neil Karp, Ted Larson, Robert Garbanati, Saryan Mikayel, Peter Fornell, Roy Kosuge, Joe Kopp
