A system includes an electronic module containing an electronic component and a connector in communication with the electronic component, and a housing defining a chamber and having an opening providing access to the chamber to receive the electronic module. The housing has an interface for removable electronic connection to the connector of the module when the module is received in the chamber, and the housing further has a magnet connected to the housing. The module includes a sensor configured to sense the magnet when the module is received in the chamber, and the module is configured to deactivate the connector when the sensor does not sense the magnet and to activate the connector when the sensor does sense the magnet. The sensor may be a Hall effect sensor and/or the connector may be configured for connection to a USB port in various configurations.

An embodiment provides a band, including: an energy harvesting mechanism that stores energy in response to deformation of the band; a device; and a connection coupling the stored energy of the band to the device. In an embodiment, a force is applied to deform a deformable band along a length dimension of the deformable band. The force acts to move an energy harvesting mechanism of the deformable band such that the energy harvesting mechanism transforms deformation of the deformable band into stored energy. The stored energy may be used, e.g., to collect information using a sensor of said deformable band. Other aspects are described and claimed.

A remote finger switch device and arm mount for an electrical lighting accessory, such as a flashlight, and operation thereof from the finger switch. The switch device can include a remote control unit in electrical contact with the end of a flexible cable. The remote control unit can include an integral finger mount for attachment to a finger of the user. An arm-mount for the flashlight is also disclosed, and includes a wraparound strap, and an arm panel attached to the strap and bearing a Picatinny rail. A base attached to the flashlight clamps tongue-in-groove to the Picatinny rail. The flexible cable can include one end in electrical contact with the remote control unit and a second end in electrical contact with a first connector adapted for being electrically connected to a complementary second connector on the arm-mounted electrical lighting accessory.

A therapeutic apparel article is configured with a supple wearable fabric article that can be configured over limb or nub of an amputated limb. The therapeutic apparel article is configured with a plurality of nodes for detachably attaching vibrating devices thereto. In addition, a control unit having a power source may be detachably attached to the wearable fabric article. A conductive network may extend from the control unit and/or the power source to provide electrical power to the nodes and the vibrating devices attached. A user may attach vibrating devices to various nodes of the wearable fabric article as desired. In addition, the vibrating devices and the control unit can be detached from the wearable fabric article to enable the wearable fabric article to be washed.

A sun protecting cover system including a body cover assembly and an attachment assembly is disclosed herein. The sun protecting cover protects users from the sun and the ultra violet rays that the sun emits. The sun protecting cover substantially covers and protects the shoulders and neck of a user. The user can enjoy the outdoors while minimizing their exposure to the sun with the sun protecting cover. The sun protecting cover has an ultraviolet protection factor from 15 to 50 plus in order to sufficiently protect a user from the ultra violet rays of the sun. The sun and its ultra violet rays are damaging to users' skin as too much sun exposure may lead to sunburns or health concern such as skin cancer. The sun protecting cover is secured to the body of a user with the pair of elastic bands that are included in the attachment assembly.
