Methods, Systems, and Apparatus for Bi-Directional Communication with Wearable Location Devices
An example disclosed method of receiving first blink data from a first tag, the first tag carried by a wearable location device associated with a monitored individual having a restricted region; determining tag location data based on the first blink data, the tag location data indicative of the monitored individual locations of the monitored individuals; determining if the monitored individual location is within the restricted region; and when the monitored individual location is within the restricted region: identifying a second tag associated with a security person in proximity to the monitored individual location; alerting the security personnel via the second tag as to the monitored individual being located in the restricted region.
SAFETY HELMET WITH ADJUSTABLE COMFORT LINER
A safety helmet is disclosed having a shell and a comfort liner coupled to the inner surface of the shell. The comfort liner is constrained to the front part and to the rear part of the shell, and the helmet has a webbing arranged between the shell and the comfort liner along the upper median portion of the comfort liner. The webbing has a front end constrained to the front part of the comfort liner and a rear end to move the webbing with respect to the shell and cause consequently the change of the overall dimensions of the comfort liner inside the helmet. The webbing is constrained, with respect to the shell, in an operative position corresponding to the overall dimensions of the comfort liner inside the helmet.
Advanced Warning Lighting Systems and Methods for Motorcycle Helmets
An advanced warning light system in a motorcycle has a brake light comprising a plurality of light emitting diodes (LED) wherein each LED is configured to illuminate a first color when a motorcycle brake is depressed and wherein only a subset of LEDs are configured to illuminate when the motorcycle is decelerating not in response to the brake being depressed. The system further has a controller area network (CAN) bus for transmitting messages, at least one controller configured for monitoring operations of a motorcycle, the at least one controller further configured for transmitting a message on the CAN bus when a monitored operation occurs on the motorcycle, the message comprising data indicating that the vehicle is slowing down, and a CAN bus interface configured to receive the message from the CAN bus and determine if the brake is being depressed or if the motorcycle is slowing down not in response to the brake being depressed, the CAN bus interface configured to transmit a message to illuminate all LEDs on the brake light if the brake is being depressed and configured to transmit a message to illuminate only the subset of LEDs on the brake light if the motorcycle is slowing down for a reason other than the brake being depressed. Additionally, the system has a processor configured for receiving the message from the CAN bus interface, the processor further configured for illuminating the brake light or a subset of the LEDs on the brake light based upon the message received to indicate to a driver following the motorcycle that the motorcycle is slowing down.
Ballistic and impact protective system for military helmet assembly
A helmet assembly includes a face shield and a single, center top mounting arrangement that operatively connects a center top location of the face shield to a center front mount on the helmet. The face shield can be raised and lowered about a pivot axis provided in the mounting arrangement between a tilted up, non-use position and a lowered, deployed position. The mounting arrangement can include a detent and two recesses, wherein the detent engages a first recess at a slightly forwardly displaced position to allow ventilation between the helmet and mandible and the face shield and a second recess at the tilted up, non-use position. The recess and detent engagement can be overcome by easy manual force acting on the face shield to reposition the face shield.

Shock absorbers for protective body gear
A shock absorber includes a bottom rim, a top wall comprising a raised central portion and a top rim, a side wall extending between the top and bottom rims, and a corrugation surrounding a periphery of the raised central portion that (i) connects the raised central portion to the top rim, (ii) descends to a depth below half a height of the side wall, and (iii) is separated by a distance from a surface. Impact forces imparted on the shock absorber are attenuated by a first amount in a first stage by resistive yielding of the side wall; by a second amount in a second stage by depression of the central portion and resistive yielding of the corrugation associated therewith; and by a third amount in a third stage by resistive yielding of the corrugation in response to a force applied to the top rim upon contact with the surface.

Support for helmets
The invention relates to a support for helmets formed from a single body defining an upper surface (1) provided with adhesive that can be fixed to the outside of a helmet and a lower surface (2), wherein said body comprises three legs (3, 4) attached to one another at one of their ends, defining a Y shape. Preferably, the angle of separation () between two of said legs is 90 and the angle of separation () with the other leg is 135. Said support allows assuring the stability of a helmet when it is placed on a planar surface with the support, since said three legs act like a tripod.
Break-away tubing for technology gear
Technology devices may be concealed in and outside of conduit's in clothing and accessories. To that end, described herein, are releasable couplers and tube assemblies that can be affixed to clothing and other accessories for safe concealment of technology devices and accessories and to avoid strangulation and other accidental harm should an accessory get snagged, caught, or pulled. The releasable coupler and releasable tube assemblies will break-away from each other or the component or accessory they are attached to when undo pressure is applied. The integration of the releasable coupler and the releasable tube assembly allow one to imbibe inconspicuously and safely. The releasable coupler and releasable tube assemblies also allow for easy removal for cleaning and maintenance purposes.
Multiview body camera system with environmental sensors and alert features
A multiview body camera system with a vest, a helmet, shoulder pads, camera units providing video, directional microphones providing audio, sensors providing motion detection and other functions is described herein. A control module controls camera units, microphones, sensors and all other circuitry. A tamper-proof locking compartment containing elements of the body camera system is operable by a remote control signal transmitted from an authorized party or by a security code. The body camera system features voice command recognition, real time monitoring, recording, storing, remote reporting; alerts the wearer of impending threats, such as approaching cars, persons, objects or gunshots and may incorporate a visor that provides a panoramic view. The body camera integrates all components internally. Bullet resistant material is used in the construction of the vest and helmet. The device operates continuously, and the wearer cannot disrupt the operation without consequence. All recorded data is archived an internal memory.
