MUMBAI, India, Oct. 26 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641122805 A) filed by Chinnam Yuvaraju; and Chamakura Malla Reddy on October 13, 2026, for Neonatal Warming Cradle With Latent Heat Buffered Zonal Heating And Method Of Controlling The Same.
Inventors include Chamakura Malla Reddy; and Chinnam Yuvaraju.
The application for the patent was published on October 23, 2026, under issue no. 43/2026.
Abstract: Abstract A neonatal warming cradle for rural places where the electric supply is weak and often interrupted. A fabric cradle body is hung by two helical springs from a fold out stand. Its wall carries a low voltage heating element divided into independently energisable zones, a sealed phase change material panel of closed cells, a spreading foil and an insulating batt. A control module obtains the mean temperature of the heating element from the ratio of zone voltage to zone current, so the whole element acts as a distributed over temperature sensor. It obtains the mass of the infant from the extension of one spring and fixes a permitted rewarming rate. While supply is present it charges the panel and detects the end of melting from a fall of the effective heat capacity. On failure of supply the stored latent heat holds the surface for a computed holding time.
