professional life, so they do not get sufficient
time to take care of their babies. It may be
expensive for the household to afford a nanny.
After long working hours, they have to take care
of the home along with the baby.
Hospitals have neonatal and maternity units.
Nurses in these units have to take care of baby
and sooth them whenever they cry.
The system is designed to help parents and
nurses in infants care. The design aims at
following points:
1. Cradle starts swinging automatically when
baby cry and swings till the baby stops crying.
2. Sounds an alarm when mattress gets wet.
3. Sounds an alarm if baby cries for more than a
stipulated time indicating that baby needs
attention.

B. Automatic E-Baby Cradle Swing based on

Baby Cry
By Misha Goyal & Dilip Kumar
International Journal of Computer Applications.
Volume 71–No.21, June 2013

E-Baby Cradle swings automatically when baby

cries, for this it has a cry analyzing system which
detects the baby cry voice and accordingly the
cradle swings till the baby stops crying. The
speed of the cradle can be controlled as per the
user need. The system has inbuilt alarm that
indicates two conditions first when the mattress
is wet, which is an important parameter to keep
the baby in hygienic condition, second when
baby does not stop crying with in a stipulated
time, which intimated that baby needs attention.

3. NEED OF PROJECT
A. Scope
The main feature of our product is to create the
communication between parents and their
babies when they are not together. We want the
parents to be able to see their babies by phone
and softly rock the cradle to comfort babies
when they cry.

B. Benefits
The benefits of our product are listed as three
main aspects:

reciprocating motion, or vice versa. The arm may

be a bent portion of the shaft, or a separate arm
or disk attached to it. Attached to the end of the
crank by a pivot is a rod, usually called
a connecting rod (conrod). The end of the rod
attached to the crank moves in a circular motion,
while the other end is usually constrained to
move in a linear sliding motion.

A. Bending With Power Press Brakes:
Bending is a process by which metal can be
deformed by plastically deforming the material
B. Bearing Data and changing its shape. The material is stressed
beyond the yield strength but below the ultimate
tensile strength. The surface area of the material
does not change much. Bending usually refers to
deformation about one axis.
Bending is a flexible process by which many
different shapes can be produced. Standard die
sets are used to produce a wide variety of shapes.
The material is placed on the die, and positioned
in place with stops and/or gages.
