An infant care station can include a lighting system, at least one access point, and a processor that can detect that the at least one access point is open. The processor can also provide, using the lighting system, a first color light in response to the detecting that the at least one access point is open, and provide the first color light with a modified brightness or provide a second color light with the lighting system after a predetermined period of time elapses with the at least one access point being open.

A device (4) aligns and connects a housing hood (3) to a housing (2). The device (4) has a first connecting piece (5) and a second connecting piece (6). The first connecting piece (5) has a clamp bearing element (51) and the second connecting piece (6) has a lamella element (61). The lamella element (61) is arranged movably along the clamp bearing element (51). The device (4) has a clamping element (7) for clearance-free clamping the lamella element (61) with the clamp bearing element (51). An alignment of the hood (3) on a housing (2) can be carried out simply and rapidly and requires only weak clamping forces.

A thermotherapy device (1) includes a pivotable wall (2) and a pivoting device (3). The pivoting device (3) has a pivoting axis section (31) connected to the thermotherapy device. A locking element (32) is connected to the pivotable wall (2) and is mounted movably radially to the pivoting axis section (31) and pivotably about the pivoting axis section (31). A blocking element (33) and a holding module (34) for the blocking element (33) are provided. A contact element (35) is permanently connected to the locking element (32) for contacting the blocking element (33). The holding module (34) pushes the blocking element (33) between the pivoting axis section (31) and the contact element (35) when the locking element (32) is moved from a locked position, defined by a first distance to the pivoting axis section (31), into an unlocked position, defined by a second distance to the pivoting axis section (31).

A spring supported tray for mitigating a dominant frequency imparted thereto is provided. The spring supported tray includes a tray including a topside and underside, and configured to support an object on the topside, and N springs supporting the tray, N being a positive integer. A first end of each of the N springs is disposed at the underside of the tray. A second end of each of the N springs is disposed so as to receive vibrational motion imparted to the second end of each of the N springs from a source of the vibrational motion, the vibrational motion having a dominant undesired frequency f.sub.dom. Each of the N springs has a spring constant k defined by the equation: $k=\frac{f_n^{2}4{\pi }^{2}w}{\mathrm{Ng}}$
where w denotes the collective weight of the tray and the object, g denotes the force of gravity, and f.sub.n denotes a natural frequency of the spring supported tray supporting the object, wherein f.sub.n is a lower frequency than the dominant undesired frequency f.sub.dom.

Disclosed herein are methods of enhancing the solubility and delivery of one or more active ingredients found in magnolia extract, or a synthetic analog thereof, in an oral composition.

A method and system tilts an infant-care medical device. In one example, the method and system pivots the infant-care device about the tilt axis by releasing a tilt platform of the infant-care medical device using an actuator to allow the tilt platform to pivot about the tilt axis. The method and system also selectively adjusts a rotational position of the tilt platform relative to a tilt axis. As the tilt platform pivots about the tilt axis, the system and method dampens pivoting of tilt platform using a damper. As so dampened, the pivoting of the tilt platform is counter-balanced such that vibration and/or movements that may be felt by an infant within the infant-care medical device may be reduced.
