An electrolytic tilt sensor and a method of assembling the tilt sensor. The tilt sensor includes a metallic envelope comprising a metal container and a metal header welded to the enclosure, hermetically sealing the envelope. The envelope defines a chamber that contains an electrolytic solution and a plurality of electrodes. The electrodes extending through the header from outside of the envelope into the chamber. Each electrode is located in a separate aperture within the header and is insulated from the envelope by an insulator located between the electrode and the header. The method of assembling the tilt sensor includes the steps of placing the electrolytic solution into the container through an opening, engaging the header with the opening and welding the container and header to one another to hermetically seal the envelope.

A infant radiant warmer having a bassinet assembly which includes a plurality of optically transparent electrothermal side panels surrounding a mattress assembly upon which a infant can be placed. The side panels serve both as radiant shields which reduce radiant heat losses from the infant and as sources of radiant heat which add to the warmth provided by an overhead infrared heater to the infant. This infant radiant warmer also has an optically transparent draft shield assembly which serves to maintain the environment of the bassinet assembly by inhibiting the effects of drafts, air-conditioning and disruptive temperatures in the atmosphere outside the bassinet assembly. Preferably, a humidifier is provided for humidifying the atmosphere within which the infant is placed.

A thermal probe for measuring and controlling the temperature of a transparent, multi-panel assembly in which one of the panels has an electrically conductive coating which serves as a radiant heat source. A sensor, urged against the panel having the coating, senses the temperature of this panel and controls a power source which powers the coating. A compressible spacing member, fitted between the sensor and the other transparent panel, urges the sensor into proximity with the panel being measured and controlled.
