An electronic motorcycle helmet. The electronic motorcycle helmet includes a helmet having an aperture therein that can receive a head therethrough. A visor is disposed on a front side of the helmet and a display is disposed on an interior surface of the visor. A microprocessor, including a logic that receives a command input directed to one of a plurality of subsystems, toggles the subsystem between an activated state and a deactivated state, and displays a status window on the display corresponding to the subsystem. The plurality of subsystems includes a plurality of cameras disposed about the helmet, wherein each of the cameras is operably connected to the display and can apply a low-light filter for low-light conditions. Other subsystems include a wireless transmitter to wirelessly communicate with an external device, a GPS system, and a battery disposed at a lower edge of the rear side.

An RFID tag assembly and method of use with a RFID tag assembly the RFID tag assembly includes an RFID tag having a mounting substrate having a spacer with a first surface and an opposing second surface, the spacer having a predetermined thickness, a mounting carrier with a substantially planar body with a first portion having first and second ends with two sides defined therebetween and has two or more second portions extending from the body forming free ends each and having selectively attachable adhesive on a portion of the bottom surface being deformably attached to the first portion and with second surface attached to the top surface of the first portion with the first planar surface with the RFID tag position parallel and set apart above the top surface of the carrier at a distance equal to or greater than the predetermined thickness.

METHOD OF COUPLING A MOTION SENSOR TO A PIECE OF EQUIPMENT

Method for coupling a sensor to a piece of equipment, such as a golf club, baseball bat, or tennis racket, that ensures that the sensor is in a known position and orientation relative to the equipment. Compensates and calibrates for degrees of freedom introduced in manufacturing and installation. The method may include manufacturing a sensor receiver that aligns with equipment in a fixed orientation, and that holds a sensor housing in a fixed orientation relative to the receiver. Remaining uncertainties in sensor position and orientation may be addressed using post-installation calibration. Calibration may include performing specific calibration movements with the equipment and analyzing the sensor data collected during these calibration movements.

ADAPTIVE LIGHTING SYSTEM FOR EVEN ILLUMINATION
20220034462 · 2022-02-03 ·

An adaptive lighting system for even illumination is provided. In an embodiment, multiple lamps illuminate light in different areas or zones of the surroundings. These lamps modulate their light output in a known (but imperceptible) pattern. One or more light detectors detects light from the surroundings. Light sourced from each lamp is disambiguated and one or more light time-of-flight delays are calculated for each lamp-light detector pair. Based on these calculated delays, illumination levels of the lights are adjusted so as to produce even illumination.

A Visual Communication System for a Helmet

The present disclosure relates to a visual communication system for a helmet comprising: an array of light emitting devices arranged inside the helmet in a manner such that light emitted by the light emitting device is visible by a user of the helmet; a data communication interface arranged to receive situational related data form one or more sources; and a processing module arranged to process the situational related data and generate a light signal providing driving or riding guidance to the user of the helmet.

Helmet to reduce traumatic brain injuries
11234475 · 2022-02-01 ·

A protective helmet includes a plurality of fluid filled bladders, impact sensors, valves, and pumps wherein the helmet absorbs energy from an impact to protect a person wearing the helmet from traumatic brain injury. The bladders expel fluid in response to a triggering event such as energy from an impact detected as a pressure spike event and/or detected as an acceleration event. A selected bladder may expel fluid to other bladders, to a reservoir, to the environment outside of the protective helmet, or combinations thereof. In embodiments where the bladders need additional fluid after an impact, one or more pumps may refill selected deflated bladders. When a bladder is underinflated, an indicator light may emit light on an outer surface of the protective helmet to warn that the bladder is not yet ready to be placed in operation to absorb another impact.

Helmet accessory mounting system

A helmet accessory mounting system includes a mounting device configured to couple to an outer surface of a side of a helmet. The mounting device includes a plurality of mounting locations configured to removeably couple to at least one accessory. A plurality of the plurality of mounting locations each includes an electrical node. A power supply is coupled to the mounting device. An electrical supply line electrically couples the power supply to each of the electrical nodes and the electrical supply line is contained at least partially within the mounting device.

Protective headgear including a personnel electronic monitor device

Protective headgear for use in dangerous and/or hazardous locations may comprise: a headgear shell; a locator device on the headgear shell for providing location data; a motion sensor on the headgear shell for providing motion data; a memory on the headgear shell and having a unique identifier stored therein and configured to store the location data and the motion data; a transmitter-receiver for transmitting the location data, the motion data and the unique identifier to a remote database and for receiving notification data therefrom; and a user interface responsive to the received notification data to provide a visual notification or an audible notification or a physical notification or a combination thereof.

Point of view video processing and curation platform
11250886 · 2022-02-15 · ·

Embodiments of the present disclosure may provide methods and systems enabled to perform the following stages: receiving a plurality of content streams; retrieving metadata associated with each of the plurality of content streams; processing the metadata to detect at least one target annotation within at least one target content stream; retrieving telemetry data associated with the at least one target content stream; processing the telemetry data and the metadata associated with a plurality of frames in the at least one target content stream to ascertain vector motion data; and mapping a spatial relationship associated with at least one capturing device associated with at least one target content source.

INFLATABLE HELMET
