Publication number: 20220347358Abstract: A system embodied in an article of clothing for synchronizing one or more breast-pumping sessions of an individual (such as a mother) and milk consumption by a second individual (such as a baby or infant) is described. In particular, based on measurements of a volume of the collected milk as a function of time and received information specifying milk consumption by the second individual as a function of time, a control circuit may determine a need for milk. Then, the control circuit may provide feedback based on the determined need for milk that synchronizes the one or more breast-pumping sessions and the milk consumption. For example, the feedback may alert the individual to initiate a breast-pumping session and/or may provide a signal to a breast pump that initiates a breast-pumping session.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 15, 2022Publication date: November 3, 2022Inventors: Joelle Barral, Venita Chandra, Mary Garrett, Jessica Hudak, Asha Nayak, Erika Palmer, Sandra Waugh Ruggles, Beverly Tang

Patent number: 9113989Abstract: The present invention relates generally to dynamic support devices, methods of providing dynamic support to target tissues, and kits comprising these devices. These devices may have particular utility in providing support to the urethra. The dynamic support devices generally comprise at least one attachment member for attachment to bodily tissue, and at least one support member, where the device capable of assuming a first configuration and a second configuration. The dynamic support devices may be configured to support a target tissue when the device is in its second configuration. The support member may comprise one or more rotating components, one or more deformable components, one or more sliding components, or a combination thereof.Type: GrantFiled: August 14, 2008Date of Patent: August 25, 2015Assignee: The Board of Trustees of the Leland Stanford Junior UniversityInventors: Richard G. Vecchiotti, Venita Chandra, Ross D. Venook, Tatum Tarin

Patent number: 8986188Abstract: The present invention relates generally to dynamic and/or adjustable support devices, methods of providing dynamic and/or adjustable support to target tissues, and kits comprising these devices. These devices may have particular utility in providing support to the urethra. The dynamic support devices generally comprise at least one attachment member for attachment to bodily tissue, and at least one expandable member capable of assuming an unexpanded configuration and an expanded configuration. The adjustable support devices generally comprise at least one attachment member for attachment to bodily tissue, and at least one shape-changing portion that is capable of assuming first and second configurations, each with different shapes. Additionally, the dynamic support devices may comprise features of the adjustable support devices, and vice versa.Type: GrantFiled: April 28, 2008Date of Patent: March 24, 2015Assignee: The Board of Trustees of the Leland Stanford Junior UniversityInventors: Richard G. Vecchiotti, Venita Chandra, Ross D. Venook, Tatum Tarin, Joel Goldsmith
