A safety helmet to be used by a person in low light conditions, includes: a cap, to cover the person's head; a wing, which surrounds the entire perimeter of the bottom of the cap; and a visor, which corresponds to a projection of the wing on the front of the cap. The cap also includes a belt, which surrounds the perimeter of the lower part of the cap, over the wing and the visor, which in turn includes at least one front lighting module; at least one rear lighting module; at least two side lighting modules, arranged on each side of the rear lighting module; at least one accelerometer; at least one controller element, which controls the operation of the front, rear and side lighting modules and the accelerometer; and at least one button to control the operation of the front, rear and side lighting modules.

A chinstrap sock to be worn by athletes comprising a tubular body having a skin facing surface for contacting a portion of a wearer's body, and an outer surface opposed to the skin facing surface; an opening in the tubular body for extension therethrough; and a first welt and a second welt affixed to opposite ends of the tubular body in surrounding relation to the opening, the first welt and the second welt each comprising a circularly-knitted fabric integral with the tubular body and extending therefrom to; the tubular body portion being a knitted construction comprising: a skin-facing surface comprising a metal-, metal oxide-, and/or metal salt-containing yarn portion.

A camera system includes a motorcycle helmet having an energy-absorbing inner liner, an outer shell surrounding at least a portion of the energy-absorbing inner liner, and a number of pockets in the motorcycle helmet. Each pocket includes an opening in the outer shell and a recess in the energy-absorbing liner. The camera system also includes a number of cameras in the pockets in the motorcycle helmet, and each camera includes a lens, an image sensor, and a processor. The camera system also includes a number of lens covers covering the cameras, and each lens cover is conformal with a portion of the outer shell proximate to the lens cover such that the cameras and the lens covers do not appreciably increase the aerodynamic drag of the motorcycle helmet.

A personal sterilization system, including a base unit defining an air intake, a fan, and a fluid path from the air intake to the fan; at least one UVC light source positioned to illuminate at least a portion of the fluid path with UVC light; a delivery conduit attached to the base unit in fluid communication with the fan; and a dispersion device configured to be worn in proximity to a person's face, the dispersion device defining a fluid inlet attached to the delivery conduit, and at least one fluid outlet configured to disperse pressurized air.

An assisted perception (AP) module comprises an attachment mechanism to attach the AP module to a helmet, and a housing to integrate modular components of the AP module. The housing comprises a front portion and side portion, the front portion located over an eye of the user. The modular components include sensors to collect information about an environment as sensor data, and processors located in the side portion. The processors execute one or more assisted perception engines that process the sensor data from the sensors into enhanced characterization data. Output devices electronically communicate the enhanced characterization data to a user, wherein at least one of the output devices protrudes from the front portion of the housing in front of an eye of the user.

A helmet assembly for a spacesuit or other protective suit is disclosed. In embodiments, the helmet assembly includes an external face shield attachable to the spacesuit and providing the spacesuit user with a forward field of view. The helmet assembly includes suit status displays hard-mounted to the external face shield at a periphery or edge of the forward field of view (e.g., upper, lower, left, right). Each suit status display includes a linear or one-dimensional array of individual light emitting diodes (LED) in communication with a suit controller of the spacesuit. Each LED array receives from the suit controller suit status data (e.g., consumables levels, suit performance, position data) communicated to the user by illuminating one or more of the individual LED units.

There is provided a connector for connecting first and second parts of an apparatus, comprising: a first part; a second part, opposing the first part; and two, or more, arms extending between the first part and the second part connecting the first part and the second part, the arms being formed from a deformable material and configured to deform to allow the first part and the second part to slide relative to each other at a low friction interface; the first part comprising a first sliding surface; the second part comprising a second sliding surface, opposing the first sliding surface, the low friction interface being provided between the first and second sliding surfaces; the first part comprising a first attachment part on a side of the first sliding surface opposite to the second sliding surface, configured to connect the first sliding surface to the first part of the apparatus; the second part comprising a second attachment part on a side of the second sliding surface opposite to the first sliding surface, configured to connect the second sliding surface to the second part of the apparatus.

An augmented-reality device is used with a surveying system to guide a base station, such as a total station, during relock after loss of line of sight with a surveying instrument, such as a surveying pole with a reflective prism. A position of the surveying instrument in relation to the augmented-reality device is calculated while an object in the environment blocks line of sight from the base station to the surveying instrument. A position of the surveying instrument in relation to the environment is calculated based on the position of the surveying instrument in relation to the augmented-reality device. The position of the surveying instrument in relation to the environment is used by the base station to point toward to the surveying instrument.

Various embodiments herein provide a hard hat with a removable light assembly. The hard hat includes an outer shell with one or more windows. The removable light assembly is removably coupled to an interior surface of the outer shell. The removable light assembly includes a support structure and one or more lights (e.g., light emitting diodes (LEDs)) coupled to the support structure and positioned behind respective windows of the one or more windows. In embodiments, the light assembly may include an arm that extends from the support structure to an underside of a brim of the outer shell. A power control element may be disposed on the end of the arm to control the one or more lights. Other embodiments may be described and claimed.
