Abstract

An infant environmental transition system provides an infant with controlled simulated movements encountered by an infant in an intrauterine environment. The system includes a suspension system having a plurality of flexures (106) coupled between a base plate (112) and a moving mattress platform (104). A cam shaft assembly (230) includes a groove (235) that engages a linear follower (218) connected to the moving bed platform (104) so that the follower (218) moves along the groove (235) while the cam shaft assembly (230) rotates to move the linear follower (218), and thereby reciprocate the moving mattress platform (104) in a longitudinal direction. The cam shaft assembly (235) also includes an eccentric cam (236) coupled to a rocker (242) that is coupled to one of the flexures (106) to angularly displace the moving mattress platform (104) support on the flexures (106), and thereby provide the composite reciprocating and rotational movements that simulate the intrauterine environment. Pulses of variable width control operating speed of a drive motor (256), and a proximity sensor (254) associated with driver cam shaft provide operational feedback for speed regulation and safe shutdown under adverse operating conditions. Pulse width modulation techniques generates sounds and operate visual indicators on control panel.
