Publication number: 20160262974Abstract: A system and method for balancing the Autonomic Nervous System (ANS) of a person to achieve a desired physiological response requires a computer for translating a measured physiological function into a fundamental tone, ftone. In particular, the fundamental tone, ftone, is based on an inflection between sympathetic and parasympathetic responses from the ANS of the person. Binaural frequencies (f1 and f2) are established to straddle the fundamental tone, ftone, of the person, and are differentiated by a preselected beat frequency, fbeat (i.e. a brain wave frequency). A headphone is then used for simultaneously transmitting a respective binaural frequency (f1 or f2) to a respective auditory canal of the person, to thereby use the beat frequency, fbeat, for achievement of the desired physiological response. Operationally, once it has been ascertained by the computer, the fundamental tone, ftone, can be retrieved from a backup service (i.e. the “cloud”).Type: ApplicationFiled: March 10, 2015Publication date: September 15, 2016Inventors: Todd Mirzai, Robert Edward Grant, Matthew T.

Publication number: 20160262985Abstract: A vented baby bottle (28) is disclosed herein and comprises a bottle (30), a nipple (32), a mounting ring (34), and a vent assembly (36). The principle advantage offered by this invention includes decreasing aeration (gas bubbles) in the bottle's fluid by establishing an air passage (168) through the mounting ring into the interior (48) of the bottle. When this air passage is used in combination with a vent assembly having a self closing vent valve (132), the system allows atmospheric air to vent into the interior of the baby bottle when a lower than atmospheric pressure is created within the bottle, thereby preventing the aeration of the fluid contained in the bottle.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 9, 2015Publication date: September 15, 2016Inventor: Chow Kai Fan
