In an aspect, a stress mitigation system is provided for mitigating stresses in a wearer of a headgear configured to apply a load on the wearer that is offset from a CG of a wearer's head. The system includes a first and second cable segments, and a tensioning device. Each cable segment has a first end and a second end, mounted to one of the headgear and the bodywear member respectively. The first ends are laterally inboard and vertically spaced from the second ends. During pivoting of the head in a first direction, the first cable segment changes orientation towards vertical and the second cable segment changes orientation towards horizontal, and during pivoting movement of the head in a second direction. The tensioning device increases tension in any cable segment that changes orientation towards vertical, and reduces tension in any cable segment that changes orientation towards horizontal.

A head utility system (20) comprising: a headset (22) comprising: a first power or data connector (28) for connecting to an off-headset power or data system (30); and a second power or data connector (38); the head utility system further comprising: headwear (24) for wearing over the headset, the headwear comprising: a headwear power or data connector (44) for connecting to the second power or data connector; wherein the second connector and the headwear connector are arranged to be releasably connected when the headwear is worn over the headset, such that power or data can be transferred between the headset and the headwear.

The present invention is directed to a helmet wearing determination system including a imaging means that is installed in a predetermined position and images a two-wheel vehicle that travels on a road; and a helmet wearing determination means that processes an image imaged by the imaging means, estimates a rider head region corresponding to a head of a person who rides on the two-wheel vehicle that travels on the road, compares image characteristics of the rider head region with image characteristics according to the head at a time when a helmet is worn or/and at a time when a helmet is not worn, and determines whether or not the rider wears the helmet.

A helmet body includes an outer shell and an energy management liner with an outer shell lower edge extending between the inner surface and the outer surface of the outer shell. At least two shoulder pad recesses are positioned at a lower edge of the outer shell on a respective left and right sides of the helmet. The energy management liner is adjacent to the inner surface of the outer shell and includes at least two shoulder pads formed of a foamed energy management material. Each of the at least two shoulder pads is received into one of the at least two shoulder pad recesses on the respective left or right side of the helmet, each shoulder pad extending from inside of the outer shell to across at least a majority of a width of the lower edge of the outer shell.

A light-emitting beacon for attachment to a helmet comprising a convex outer surface is disclosed. The beacon comprises a printed circuit board assembly arranged within a hollow space between a carapace and a battery such that a first surface of a circuit board assembly faces the power source and a second surface of the circuit board assembly faces the carapace. The circuit board assembly further comprises a plurality of LEDs arranged on the second surface wherein a first of the LEDs emits a first light visible from a first lateral side of the carapace and a second of the LEDs emits a second light visible from a second lateral side of the carapace. There is also discloses a light activated beacon comprising at least one LED activated or deactivated in response to light sensed by at least one of a plurality of photosensors arranged on the second outer surface. A first of the photosensors senses light shining on a first lateral side of the carapace and a second of the photosensors senses light shining on a second lateral side of the carapace.

A conductive assembly (10) includes a conductive fabric core (12) which includes at least one electrically conductive element woven with the fabric core, optionally first and second impermeable layers (14, 16) enveloping the fabric core (12), first and second spacer layers (18, 20) overlying or within the impermeable layers (14, 16) and first and second conductive shield or screen layers (22, 24) overlying the spacer layers. The shield layers are electrically coupled together in the preferred embodiment for electromagnetic shielding. The spacer layers (18, 20) provide a stable and uniform spacing between the shield or screen conductors (22, 24) and the conductive fabric core (12).

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.

Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to helmet safety compliance systems for use in personal transportation ride-share systems. A rider safety compliance system, may include a personal transport upon which a user can be transported, a physical lock mechanism securely mounted on the personal transport and mechanically adapted to lock and secure a helmet, and a processor adapted to release the helmet from the physical lock mechanism as a pre-determined action for allowing the user to activate the personal transport.

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 a single tether with double thickness terminal ends. The double thickness terminal ends have a plurality of pass-through openings that are adapted to receive a removable securing pin that threadably secures the tether to the neck brace. The tether also secures the helmet to the neck brace and limits its range of motion during an accident. The tether is removable secured to the neck brace on one side then extends from the neck brace to the helmet, then continues from the helmet to the back of the neck brace, then continues further from the back of the neck brace to the opposite side of the helmet, and then is removable secured to the other side of the neck brace. The tether may be slidably or fixedly attached to the helmet and neck brace.
