Infant Environmental Transition System And Method
US Patent:
5183457, Feb 2, 1993
Filed:
Apr 16, 1990
Appl. No.:
7/509474
Inventors:
James D. Gatts - San Jose CA
Edward M. Buckley - San Jose CA
John W. Jamieson - Alamo CA
Edward M. Buckley - San Jose CA
John W. Jamieson - Alamo CA
Assignee:
Infant Advantage, Inc. - Milpitas CA
International Classification:
A61G 1000
US Classification:
600 21
Abstract:
An infant environmental transition system and method provides an infant with a controlled, healthy transistion from an intrauterine environment to the extrauterine environment, and includes a housing within which the infant is supported by a soft, form-fitting bed. Environmental conditions provided within the housing include simulated motions, sounds and tactile sensations resembling the intrauterine environment. A suspension and drive system controls the degree of movement imparted to the housing and to an infant supported therein. The resulting motion closely approximates the motion experienced by the fetus while the mother is walking. The sound profile simulates intrauterine cardiovascular and gastrointestinal sounds. The system simulates day and night variations in motions and sounds, integrates changes to the environment over time toward the natural extrauterine environment, and may respond to infant activity or other inputs at various intervals.

Infant Environmental Transition System And Method
US Patent:

Filed:

Appl. No.:
7/928911
Inventors:
John W. Jamieson - Alamo CA

James D. Gatts - San Jose CA
Assignee:
Infant Advantage, Inc. - Milpitas CA
International Classification:
A61G 1500, A47C 2002, A61B 1900
US Classification:
128845
Abstract:
An infant environmental transition system and method provides an infant with a controlled, healthy transition from an intrauterine environment to the extrauterine environment, and includes a housing within which the infant is supported by a soft, form-fitting bolster system. The bolster system is comprised of one or more pads, or bolsters, arranged such that they can be placed about an infant. A gentle but firm pressure is exerted on the infant by the bolster or bolsters through the use of straps or by the use of a U-shaped spring covered partially or completely by a bolster or bolsters. This pressure offers a reduction of an infant's stress level, as well as physical stabilization of the infant. Environmental conditions provided within the housing include simulated motions, sounds and tactile sensations resembling the intrauterine environment. A suspension and drive system controls the degree of movement imparted to the housing and to an infant supported therein.
