Morning sickness, also called nausea and vomiting of pregnancy (NVP), is a symptom of pregnancy that involves nausea or vomiting. Despite the name, nausea or vomiting can occur at any time during the day. Typically the symptoms occur between the 4th and 16th week of pregnancy. About 10% of women still have symptoms after the 20th week of pregnancy. A severe form of the condition is known as hyperemesis gravidarum and results in weight loss.
ANTI-MORNING SICKNESS DEVICE FITTING A MOTOR VEHICLE, MOTOR VEHICLE EQUIPPED WITH THIS DEVICE AND METHOD OF DISPLAYING LIGHT MARKERS INTENDED TO COMBAT MORNING SICKNESS
ANTI-MOTION DEVICE EQUIPPING A MOTOR VEHICLE, MOTOR VEHICLE EQUIPPED THEREOF AND METHOD OF DISPLAYING LIGHT MARKERS INTENDED TO COMBAT MOTION SICKNESS. The invention relates to an anti-motion device equipping a motor vehicle (10), characterized in that the anti-motion device comprises: - a triaxial accelerometer configured to detect the accelerations of the vehicle (10) along 3 axes and emit a corresponding acceleration signal; - display means (12, 12', 12") of luminous markers capable of forming at least one first artificial horizon line (14, 14') at the level of a first interior surface (13) of the motor vehicle and at least one second artificial horizon line (16, 16') at the level of a second interior surface (15, 15') of the motor vehicle, the said first and second artificial horizon lines (14, 16; 14', 16') being perpendicular or substantially perpendicular to each other;- a control unit capable of receiving the acceleration signals emitted by the accelerometer and controlling the display means (12, 12', 12") in such a way that the first and second artificial horizon lines (14, 16; 14', 16') are aligned in a horizontal plane (A), perpendicular or substantially perpendicular to the gravity vector, whatever the accelerations of the vehicle, the control unit being, on the other hand, configured to process said acceleration signals, before controlling the display means (12, 12', 12"), in order to determine in real time an acceleration frequency along each of the accelerometer axes and to control said display means (12, 12', 12") only when said acceleration frequency is lower than a threshold frequency below which motion sickness is likely to occur.
