A talking pacifier that will serve as an interpreter and an advocate for the vocally challenged, namely infants. The device contains a microprocessor coupled to a speaker for providing short musings that will appear to be delivered by the user of the device. In a preferred embodiment an activation button releases a baby's musings on everything from potty talk to politics.

A breathing mask for use in administering inhalable medications to a patient in need of an inhaled drug is provided. The mask disclosed herein is particularly useful for use with very young children. The mask is made from a flexible molded plastic silicone or elastomeric material, and has an anthropometrically/anatomically/ergonomically contoured shape to provide a good seal, a comfortable fit, and minimal dead space within the mask. The airway is aligned with nose. There may be an orifice for use with a soother device to calm a child using the mask. Also provided is a visual flow indicator to provide an indication of the quality of the seal of the mask on the face.

A spatial light modulator outputs modulated light including: modulated first light when the spatial light modulator receives first light; and modulated second light when the spatial light modulator receives second light. Projection optics project the modulated light onto: a first pixel region when a component or the spatial light modulator has a first position; and a second pixel region when the component or the spatial light modulator has a second position. The first and second pixel regions partially overlap. A pixel shifter moves the component or the spatial light modulator between: the first position when the spatial light modulator outputs the modulated first light; and the second position when the spatial light modulator outputs the modulated second light.

The invention is concerned with a musical teether for infant. It has a body member including one or more regions or projections on which an infant can bite in use for soothing purpose and a musical unit. The body member is configured to receive or otherwise accommodate the musical unit which is removably engageable with the body member. The teether further has means for transmitting vibrational musical signal from the musical unit to the body member for onward transmission to teeth of the infant, then to jaw bones and skull of the infant, and then to ear bones of the infant, such that the infant can, while biting on the teeth, receive vibrational musical signal arisen from direct vibration on the ear bones of the infant.

A multi-functional pacifier keeps the baby preoccupied while providing entertainment and nutritional benefits. The assembly includes an interchangeable nipple, refillable liquid cartridges for supplying nutritional liquids and nutrients, a rattle toy attached to a clip hook, a detachable teether, and a glow-in-the-dark strap.

One aspect of the present disclosure include a method of utilizing an oro-motor device to activate an audio device, the method includes providing an oro-motor device having a sensor and a nipple; producing a signal when the nipple portion present in an infant's mouth when the nipple portion yields a first measured pressure over an age appropriate predetermined threshold applied to the nipple portion by the infant; responsive to the signal, playing an age appropriate audio recording for a predetermined duration on an audio device; and raising the age appropriate predetermined threshold to a raised threshold proportionally to a difference between the first measured pressure application to the nipple portion and the age appropriate predetermined threshold.

A modular pacifier assembly having a modular mouth guard assembly including a nipple. The modular mouth guard assembly includes a mouth guard shield and a removable mouth guard plate that interconnects into the mouth guard shield.
