    摘要: A medical imaging support includes a substantially flat radiotransparent platform, a plurality of radiotransparent flaps, and closure mechanisms. The platform has a longitudinal direction between a top edge and a bottom edge. The plurality of sets of radiotransparent flaps have a first set of the radiotransparent flaps positioned closer to the top edge in the longitudinal direction than the second set of radiotransparent flaps, and at least one set of flaps includes a first flap and a second flap where the first flap is fixed to the platform proximate a first side edge and the second flap is fixed to the platform proximate a second side edge. The closure mechanisms are positioned on the first flap or second flap of each set of radiotransparent flaps, wherein the closure mechanism selectively fixes the first flap to the second flap of each set of radiotransparent flaps.

    摘要: A monitoring device may include a housing with: a first connector that mechanically couples to a baby bottle; and a second connector that mechanically couples to a nipple; a tube having a first opening defined by a first edge proximate to the first connector and a having second opening defined by a second edge proximate to the second connector. Moreover, the housing may include a set of sensors that perform measurements associated with feeding. During operation, the monitoring device may perform the measurements while a baby is performing the feeding, where the measurements are associated with sucking, swallowing and breathing by the baby. Then, the monitoring device may dynamically provide feedback based at least in part on the measurements. For example, the feedback may include: change to the feeding (such as when to dynamically pause the feeding), a change to a size of the nipple or the baby bottle, etc.

    摘要: The present disclosure provides an infant blood oxygen saturation monitoring method and an intelligent monitoring device. The infant blood oxygen saturation monitoring method includes the following steps: A, performing reflective testing on soles of an infant by red light λ1 and infrared light λ2 to obtain blood flow signals IMAXλ1 and IMAXλ2 at the soles of the infant, respectively; B, analyzing the blood flow signals to obtain alternating current components IACλ1 and IACλ2 of the blood flow signals, respectively; C, analyzing intensity changes of the red light and the infrared light, and a relationship between blood flow signals and a blood oxygen saturation, and calculating test constants As, Bs, and Cs; and D, combining As, Bs, and Cs with IMAXλ1, IMAXλ2, IACλ1, and IACλ2, and obtaining the blood oxygen saturation of the infant by a blood oxygen saturation calculation formula X:
