摘要:
A pacifier is presented including a nipple configured to receive a plurality of breath and saliva samples from a user, a base portion configured for attachment to the nipple, and an output mechanism attached to the base portion and configured for displaying different nutritional information values. The output mechanism may include one or more removable strips. The plurality of breath and saliva samples received from the user via the nipple are analyzed for nutritional information, preferably, continuously and in real-time, and the nutritional information includes at least one of carbohydrates, fats, minerals, protein, fiber, vitamins, water, salt, sugar, sodium, antioxidants, and phytochemicals.

A lighted item according to exemplary embodiments may generally include a light-conducting/light-transmission portion, which, in turn, may include and/or integrally define one or more indicia. The lighted item may also include a light-transmissive portion. The lighted item may also include at least one light source positioned to emit light into the light-conducting/light-transmission portion, which, in turn, may then conduct or transmit light to the one or more indicia for highlighting the one or more indicia. Light may also be conducted or transmitted through the light-conducting/light-transmission portion to the light-transmissive portion for highlighting an element (e.g., edible, drinkable, confection, non-consumable, etc.).

A retractable tether pacifier device for holding a pacifier to a user when not in use. The device includes a housing with a slot providing an opening into the interior space of the housing. The first end of an elongate flexible ribbon is disposed in the interior space of the housing with the flexible ribbon extending through the slot of the side wall of the housing such that a second end of the flexible ribbon outwardly extends from the side wall of the housing. The second end of the flexible ribbon is attached to a holding ring of a pacifier. The length of the flexible ribbon is retractably extendable from the interior space of the housing. The back face of the housing has a fastener for attaching the housing to a garment of the user.
摘要:
A new Air Responsive Illuminated Pacifier for providing a pacifier having a light source which is activated when an child sucks on the pacifier. The inventive device includes an airtight nipple portion, a handle portion attached to the nipple portion, and a light source and a pressure actuated switch positioned within the handle portion, wherein the switch activates the light source when a child sucks on the nipple portion. A single activation of the light source causes the light source to remain lit for a predetermined time (e.g., 15 seconds). When activated, the light source emits light into a hollow interior cavity of the handle portion. The handle portion is made of a translucent or luminescent material. When the handle portion is made of a luminescent material, the handle portion continues to glow for a substantial time after extinguishment of the light source, thereby enabling a child or parent to easily locate the pacifier in the dark.
摘要:
A pacifier locating system including a pacifier with receiver circuitry coupled thereto. Such receiver circuitry includes a speaker adapted to emit an audible alarm upon the receipt of a speaker actuation signal. A receiver is electrically connected to a battery and the speaker. The receiver is adapted to transmit to the speaker a speaker actuation signal upon the receipt of a radio activation signal via free space. Also included is a transmitter housing with an interior space. Finally, transmitter circuitry is situated within the interior space and includes an actuation mechanism for selectively transmitting an electric activation signal. The transmitter circuitry further includes a battery situated within the interior space of the transmitter housing for powering purposes. A transmitter is situated within the interior space of the transmitter housing and electrically connected between the battery and the actuation mechanism. In use, the transmitter is adapted to transmit via free space the radio activation signal upon the receipt of the electric activation signal, thereby allowing the speaker to identify the position of the pacifier.
摘要:
A pacifier system and method of therapeutically treating premature infants to reinforce non-nutritive sucking is disclosed. A pacifier is connected to a pressure transducer. The pressure tranducer serves to detect sucking intensity and time of sucking. The pacifier system activates a sound source, such as a music source, upon sucking of a minimum intensity being detected for a minimum period of time.
摘要:
A pacifier for an infant is disclosed herein having an elongated shield member supporting a non-luminous nipple formed thereon or wedged against and which projects outwardly from one side thereof. The opposite or reverse side includes a continuous sidewall defining an internal cavity and which is closed by a cap. The cap carries a sheet of luminescent material within the cavity adhesively secured to the cap, a recessed illuminescent graphic representation or a luminescent movable article such as a ball. The luminescent material or substance is separated from and blocked from engaging or contacting the mouth of the infant.

An intelligent pacifier estimates its state based on one or more sensors. Based on the estimated state, the pacifier may provide an alert or notification to a child or caretaker regarding the state of the child. The alert or notification may be generated by one or more output transducers and may increase in level depending on the estimated state. An application program communicates with the intelligent pacifier, allowing the caretaker to review and analyze the data collected by the intelligent pacifier, and to configure the intelligent pacifier. Embodiments of the intelligent pacifier may vary in the number and type of sensors, the number and type of estimated states, and the number and type of output transducers. The intelligent pacifier may be constructed as a single device or may consist of a housing that interfaces to a typical pacifier.
摘要:
An illuminated baby bottle device including a cap, a nipple, a body configured to retain a liquid, and a base. The body includes an inner-wall and an outer-wall. The nipple is affixable and sealed to the cap, and the protective-cover is also affixable to the cap to protect the nipple and maintain sanitary conditions of the nipple, where the cap is affixable to one end of the body. The base is affixable to the body on the opposing end from the cap. Base is affixable to the body, with the base including a power-supply and an audio-source configured to provide an audio-track. The body includes a light-source arranged between the inner-wall and the outer-wall configured to illuminate the baby bottle device. The light-source includes multiple colors and is illuminated by at least one light-emitting-diode.
