Pacifier System For Studying And Stimulating The Human Orofacial System

View page
US Patent:
8251926, Aug 28, 2012
Filed:
Aug 22, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/209029
Inventors:
Steven M. Barlow - Lawrence KS, US
Donald S. Finan - Boulder CO, US
Assignee:
University of Kansas - Lawrence KS
International Classification:
A61B 5/103
A61B 5/117
A61J 17/00
US Classification:
600590, 600587, 600595, 606234, 606236
Abstract:
The present subject matter is suited for evaluating biomechanics and electrophysiology of an infant's orofacial system during sucking. The present subject matter includes at least one orofacial sensor and a processor. In various examples, the present subject matter additionally includes one or a combination of: a pacifier having a baglet, a receiver assembly, a stimulation device, a memory, a display, and data acquisition and analysis software. Advantageously, the present subject may non-invasively sample and analyze suck and may stimulate nerve endings in the face of an infant.

Pacifier System For Stimulating And Entraining The Human Orofacial System

US Patent:
20060079814, Apr 13, 2006
Filed:
Aug 22, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/209177
Inventors:
Steven Barlow - Lawrence KS, US
Donald Finan - Boulder CO, US
Rajesh Vantipalli - Lawrence KS, US
Raghavendra Shantha - Lawrence KS, US
International Classification:
A61B 5/103
US Classification:
600590000
Abstract:
This application discusses systems and method for entraining oromotor pattern development, such as the suck, in the orofacial system of an infant having neurological impairments or developmental disabilities. The system includes a baglet, an entrainment device, and a processor. In varying examples, the system additionally includes one or a combination of: a baglet pressure sensor, a memory, a timing circuit, a valve, a receiver assembly, a display device, and one or more data acquisition, data analysis, and stimulus-control software. Options and variations for each feature of the system are various. The present systems provide patterned, rhythmic stimulation to the infant's orofacial system to stimulate and entrain brain development, such as oromotor pattern development.
