INTELLIGENT WEIGHT SUPPORT SYSTEM

Embodiments may relate to an air-permeable weight support system, which may include a microclimate fabric layer and an air-permeable capacitive sensor layer below the microclimate fabric layer. The air-permeable capacitive sensor layer may include two air-permeable substrates, each carrying a plurality of electrically conductive pathways that are impermeable to air. The two air-permeable substrates may securely position the electrically conductive pathways to define a sensor grid and position the electrically conductive pathways that are impermeable to air to be spaced apart to define a plurality of air pathways for the air-permeable capacitive sensor layer. The sensor data may be used to determine a sleep state of the person using the weight support system. A computer may identify the poses of the person based on the pressure sensor data. A machine learning model may rely on the poses, the heart rates, the respiration rates to determine the sleep state.

An orthopedic pillow assembly for promoting a neutral spinal alignment while sleeping includes first and second shells, which define interior and internal spaces, respectively. The second shell is attached to and covers an upper face of the first shell. A block, which comprises viscoelastic polyurethane foam, is positioned in the first shell and occupies the interior space. An arcuate cutout extends into an upper surface and between opposing ends of the block to define a pair of ridges, with each ridge extending along a respective opposing side of the block. A filler is positioned in the second shell and occupies the internal space. The filler comprises shredded elastomeric foam and thus is moldable to the block's upper surface to define a recess. With a head of a user positioned in the recess, a respective ridge supports a neck of the user to promote a neutral spinal alignment while sleeping.

A travel pillow that is configured to be transported in a flat or closed position. The travel pillow has a pillow body that is configured to support an occipital region of a user's head and upper neck in an opened position. The pillow body has a first end and a second end. The pillow body has two wings attached to a back side of the travel pillow. The wings each has a first end that is attached to the travel pillow. The body of each of the wings extends inward along the pillow body. The inner ends of the wings are free from the pillow body. The wings are configured such that the inner ends are bendable outward away from the pillow body. Bending the wings outward from the travel position causes the pillow body to flex and bend into a u-shape. The u-shape is configured to cup a user's head and neck with the wings providing a base or support to the travel pillow.
