A system assesses activity and displays a unitless activity value. A detector senses activity of a user. A processor reads sensed activity data from the detector. A display displays the unitless activity value. An enclosure houses the detector and the processor. The processor periodically reads the sensed activity data from the detector and processes the data to generate an activity number, the number being used to generate the unitless activity value based upon a maximum number and a display range.

A method of manufacturing an article of personal protective equipment, such as a protective glove, headgear, footwear, suit, or other protective device, wearable by a wearer for protecting the wearer against noxious agents, such as an article of chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear (CBRN) personal protective equipment. The article of personal protective equipment may comprise a plurality of regions that cover different parts of the wearer's body and have different properties, such as different levels of protection against noxious agents, breath ability, heat loss capability, dexterity, tactility, stretchability, and/or another function.

A method of making a moisture-permeable waterproof shoe includes: cutting a substrate to form a cut piece having a main body and two wing portions; ultrasonically welding rear mating edges of the main body, wing lateral edges of the wing portions, front and rear curved edges of each wing portion respectively to a front convex portion and a lateral connecting edge of the main body to form a shoe-like inner sleeve: sleeving the inner sleeve on a shoe last; coating an adhesive on an inner surface of an upper; sleeving the upper on the shoe last and heating the assembly to form a moisture-permeable waterproof foot cover; and fixing a bottom portion of the moisture-permeable waterproof foot cover to a sole.

An article of footwear may include an insert configured to receive a foot of a wearer. The insert may consist essentially of a casing configured to at least partially enclose a foot of a wearer and including a casing material and a high heat capacity material. The article of footwear may also include an outer assembly configured to receive the foot of the wearer when the foot is received within the insert.

Temperature of the extremities is a significant factor in temperature control of the body due to the presence of thermal receptors in the extremities. The brain uses signals from these thermal receptors as an indication of environmental conditions, and responds accordingly. Thermal monitoring of extremities and adjustment of extremity temperature are valuable in controlling body temperature, leading to a more optimum body temperature in an array of environmental conditions. Devices, such as a wearable article, and an apparatus to monitor the temperature of extremities, adjust the temperature of the extremities in response to the monitored temperature.

The present invention relates to a fatigue-reducing safety shoe. The shoe according to the present invention is able to offer the user a high degree of protection in case of accidental events, in accordance with current regulations, together with a higher level of comfort perceived by the user due to a specific configuration of the multilayer sole capable of respecting the ergonomics of the user according to the biomechanics of the walk.

The invention discloses a pair of intelligent massage shoes, each including a vamp, a sole composed of a sole plate and a cushion plate, and massage columns arranged in the sole plate and stretching out of the cushion plate. The massage columns are matched with positions of acupuncture points of a sole, and are driven to carry out a reciprocating motion up and down through a lifting power device, thus massaging the sole. The lifting power device is fixed on a bottom plate, which is connected with an adjustment power device that pushes the lifting power device to move back and forth, thus adjusting the front and back positions of the massage columns to adapt to feet with different sizes. Each shoe has an air pocket charged with air through an electric air charging apparatus, thus forming a space in the shoe adaptive to accommodate the feet with different sizes.
