The disclosure provides conspicuity devices and methods. A first embodiment includes a glove with at least one elongate lighting device adapted and configured to admit light having an advantageous spectral energy distribution. Additional articles of clothing are provided herein for enhanced conspicuity, such as for emergency workers and athletes.

A wearable equipment is adapted for substation maintenance mobile inspection and includes a binding strap and a controlling wireless communication module. A thermal imager is disposed on one side of the binding strap. A prism display component and a voice interaction module are disposed on the other side of the binding strap. The thermal imager, the prism display component, and a microphone and a speaker of the voice interaction module are connected to the controlling wireless communication module through cables, to transmit information in a power system intranet. An application method includes mounting the wearable equipment to an electric power helmet, and automatically sending an infrared image, a visible light image, power monitoring information, voice, and a video in a power operation area to a background management controlling system for the substation maintenance mobile inspection.

Disclosed herein is a hair retainer for a helmet. The hair retainer comprises a helmet mounting portion configured for mounting the hair retainer to a back edge or an underside of the helmet and a hair retaining portion locatable at an underside of the helmet in a hair retaining configuration for retaining hair thereat whilst a user is wearing the helmet.

The disclosure provides embodiments for potentially reducing and/or preventing head trauma. Headgear apparatuses comprise a head-protection component configured to be worn over a head and to protect the head from an external force. In certain embodiments, the headgear apparatus has an effective mass of at least 5 kg. In other embodiments, the head-protection component is a form-fitting structure, wherein a maximum distance the head-protection component extends from an exterior surface of the head is less than 5 cm. The head-protection component may be interconnected with a neck support and a body support, wherein the head-protection component, the neck support, and the body support comprise a single structure made of a semi-flexible foam material coated in a latex or vinyl composition.

An Internet of Thing (IoT) sport device includes a helmet and sensors including a camera and an accelerometer; a processor; and a wireless transceiver coupled to the processor.

A skin observation system includes a helmet to be placed over the head of a user, a mirror disposed within the helmet in a direct line of sight of the user wearing the helmet, at least one lighting device disposed within the helmet for illuminating the face of the user, a shield disposed within the helmet for shielding the eyes of the user from light emitted by the at least one lighting device, and a filter disposed within the helmet for filtering components of the light emitted by the at least one lighting device. The lighting device is preferably a plurality of laser diodes and the filter is preferably a UV filter. The mirror preferably has a concave surface facing the user.

An apparatus for use by a driver of a vehicle that has turn signals and a brake signal is described. Display circuitry includes lights, and can be supported by the driver while the driver is operating the vehicle. Base circuitry is in wireless communication with the display circuitry, can detect activation of the turn signals and the brake signal, and includes movement sensors. The apparatus can activate the lights in response to activation of the turn signals and the brake signal. In addition, the base circuitry can broadcast an accident alarm in response to detection of movement of the vehicle suggestive of a traffic accident.

A helmet comprising a first protective layer, the first protective layer comprising at least one accessory mount portion for receiving an accessory mount or an accessory, the at least one accessory mount portion being arranged integrally as a part of the first protective layer and configured to disintegrate from the rest of the first protective layer in response to a mechanical impact to the at least one accessory mount portion for preventing the accessory mount portion and/or the accessory from penetrating through the helmet.
