Abstract

An infant care apparatus includes a base. A drive mechanism and a vibratory mechanism are coupled to the base. A movable stage is movably mounted to the base. An infant support is coupled to the movable stage. The drive mechanism imparts a first cyclic motion to the movable stage, and imparts a second cyclic motion to at least part of the movable stage independent of the first cyclic motion and to the vibratory mechanism so that the vibration motor vibrates the movable stage. The infant support is coupled to the movable stage and moves cyclically in both the first and second cyclic motions. The controller is configured to move the infant support in a selectably variable motion profile with selectable vibration modes selected from different selectably variable motion profiles and selectably different vibration modes for each of the different selectable variable motion profiles.

Abstract

An infant care apparatus including a base, a drive, an infant support, and a controller. The a drive is coupled to the base and has a first electromechanical driver defining a first degree of freedom forming a first axis of motion of a movable infant load seat surface dependent from and movable relative to the base. The infant support is removably coupled to the movable infant load seat surface. The drive is a distributed drive distributed to the base and the infant support, and includes a second electromechanical driver integral with the infant support that defines a second degree of freedom forming a second axis of motion of the infant support. The controller is communicably coupled to the distributed drive and is configured so as to move, via the first and second electromechanical drivers, the infant support relative to the base.

Abstract

A baby bathing system including a bathing tub, having a reservoir and a bath basin connected to the reservoir by a weir discharging bath water from the reservoir into the bath basin. A baby bath support insert is received within the bath basin downstream of the reservoir, the baby bath support insert having a flexible seat and a base projection projecting from the flexible seat towards the bath basin. The base projection is conformally seated against an interior surface of the bath basin and supports the flexible seat raised from the interior surface of the bath basin with the baby bath support insert received in the bath basin. The base projection includes at least one aperture extending through the base projection and disposed so that bath water from under the flexible seat communicates through the base projection with outer sides of the bath basin.

Abstract

Disclosed are embodiments of a system and method for baling recyclable materials and managing the baling of recyclable materials. The apparatus for baling includes a baler for compressing and baling recyclable materials, a scale, label printer, and a processor. Certain embodiments further comprise at least one digital camera, RFID dispenser, and an internet connection that allows the processor to transmit collected data to a remote database for further analysis. The disclosed method for baling recyclable materials comprising the steps of baling materials; weighing the bale automatically using a digital scale operably connected to the processor; recording the weight of the bale automatically; and printing a label which displays the recorded weight of the bale. Additionally, the method may comprise inputting information and/or automatically recording data, and/or automatically transmitting the data associated with a bale to a remote database.

Abstract

An infant care apparatus includes an infant holder, a drive section, a biometric sensor, and a controller. The drive section is coupled to the infant holder and has a motor configured to generate one or more of an action and a motion of the infant holder. The biometric sensor is configured to observe at least one characteristic of an infant within the infant holder. The controller is configured to employ a neural network or state machine that is communicably coupled to the biometric sensor and the drive section, where the controller registers sensor data from the biometric sensor and effects, through the neural network or the state machine, a change in the one or more of the action and the motion of the infant holder.
