Abstract A monitoring system includes a sensor, a processing block and an alert generator. The sensor is used to generate images of an infant. The processing block processes one or more of the images and identifies a condition with respect to the infant. The alert generator causes generation of an alert signal if t...

A cradle with a resonant, high efficiency mechanism for swinging (oscillating) the cradle with multiple swinging styles is described. Vertical and horizontal swinging are enabled with a single actuation mechanism. In an embodiment, the actuation mechanism consists of a motor with an eccentric load and a motor contro...

A generic system for enabling resonant oscillations along multiple axes includes a load and an actuator. The load represents a mass or structure that is desired to be oscillated, and is subject by suitable mechanisms to a restoring force upon displacement. The actuator is designed to rotate an eccentric mass about a...
