A headset apparatus configured to be worn by a user operating outdoor power equipment. The headset may include a noise cancelling system and/or enhanced glasses.

A head guard is provided. The head guard includes one or more sensors as part of an sensory input and communications system. The head guard wirelessly communicates data to remote computing devices for intelligent data collection.

A system (1) for assisting a field operator, in particular a maintenance field operator, by a remote assistant (51) equipped with a viewer (50) comprises a first group of components configured to be connected to a support (10) wearable on the operator's head, including a first video camera (11), a local viewer (13) arranged to be watched by the operator, a first control unit (15) and a first wireless connection interface (19). The system also comprises a handpiece (20) providing a visual sensor (21) such as a video camera or a thermal imaging camera, a serial port (24) for connecting a peripheral device (30) such as an instrument or a sensor or a video source, a second control unit (25) and a second connection interface (26). The connection interfaces (15,25) are configured for mutually changing, locally or through a remote server (99) available through a data network (3), data streams (12,22,32) coming from the video camera (11), from the visual sensor (21) or from the peripheral device (30), respectively, intended to be displayed by the local viewer (13). Moreover, the connection interfaces are configured for exchanging the data streams with the assistants (51) remote viewer (50) through the remote server (99). The system (1) also comprises a scenario-switching device (80) for displaying a same data stream of interest (42) at the same time to the local viewer (13) and to the remote viewer (50), said data stream of interest selected among data streams (12,22,32) related to the scenarios (11′,21′) framed by the video camera (11) and by the visual sensor (21), respectively, and to the data obtained from the peripheral device (30).

The invention relates to a protective helmet, comprising an outer shell (1) for distributing impact forces and an antenna (2) for transferring a radio signal, which antenna is arranged at least partially inside the outer shell (1). The outer shell (1) consists of a main material in a main region (5). The protective helmet is characterized in that the outer shell (1) consists of a cut-out material in a cut-out region (6), the cut-out material having a lesser damping effect on the radio signal in comparison with the main material. The invention further relates to a method for producing a protective helmet.

A system is provided for use by athletes and their coaches during practice. The system includes an electronic system configured for inclusion in a helmet. The electronic system includes a transparent display screen coupled to the helmet, a processor coupled to the transparent display screen, a camera coupled to the processor and a first wireless transceiver coupled to the processor. The system also includes a handheld processing device. The handheld processing device includes a second wireless transceiver configured to communicate video content with the first wireless transceiver, an interactive display screen configured to display the first video and a video editing application configured to edit the first video to generate a second video including a simulated player technique superimposed in the first video. The second video is communicated from the handheld processing device to the electronic system for display to the athlete via the transparent display screen.

There is no other self-inflatable football collar in the American football equipment market. Upon impact to the helmet, this collar is designed to catch in lower lip of the football helmet and transfer the force from the head and neck of the collar and shoulders.

A helmet attachment may include a body, a connector, and a fastener. The body may have a rim and a concave inner surface configured to engage convex outer surface of a helmet. The connector may be coupled to the inner surface of the body and the connector may be configured to engage a helmet connector. The fastener may extend from the rim and be configured to engage an element coupled to the helmet.

A flex cell for absorbing energy from an applied force includes a panel attached to a flex cage. The flex cage is made from a resilient material that allows deformation of the flex cage when a force is applied to the flex cell. The flex cell is attachable to a support surface. In some instances, the flex cell is detached from the support surface when sufficient force is applied to the flex cell.

A head and neck restraining system includes a helmet, a neck brace structure, and a tether system. The neck brace structure includes a neck extension that is attached to shoulder extensions. The tether system includes at least one ring structure that is configured to attach to the helmet and a single tether material that slides through the at least one ring. The single tether material is guided along the neck extension and attached to the shoulder extensions. The at least one ring structure is positioned between the neck and shoulder extensions along the single tether material and splits the load on the helmet to the neck extension and the shoulder extension along to the single tether material created by exerted forces.
