DETECTION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF HEAD IMPACTS

Systems and methods are provided for determining an acceleration at a location of interest within one of a user's head and neck. At least one of linear acceleration data, angular acceleration data, angular velocity data, and orientation data is produced using at least one sensing device substantially rigidly attached to an ambient-accessible surface of the user's head. The location of interest is represented relative to a position of the at least one sensing device as a time-varying function. An acceleration at the location of interest is calculated as a function of the data produced at the sensing device and the time-varying function representing the location of interest. The calculated acceleration at the location of interest is provided to at least one of the user and an observer in a human-perceptible form.

A driving recorder comprises a main body. The main body has a switch. A front camera is installed in one end of the main body. The other end of the main body is connected to a rear camera through a bended connecting portion. The bended connecting portion can be bended down with a bending angle from 12 degrees to 18 degrees so that when the driving recorder is installed on the helmet, it can record the driving images at the rear of the motorcycle.

Intelligent personal protective equipment

Provided are systems and methods for integrated control and safety systems (ICSSs) that employ intelligent personal protective equipment (PPE). In some embodiments, an industrial plant system includes an industrial safety system (ISS) for monitoring a safety status of an industrial plant and one or more intelligent PPE systems worn by personnel located in the industrial plant. Each of the intelligent PPE systems includes one or more intelligent PPE devices for sensing personal and environmental characteristics of a person wearing the intelligent PPE system, and transmits safety data corresponding to the personal and environmental characteristics sensed. The ISS collects the safety data, determines (based on the safety data) whether a safety incident has occurred and, in response to determining that a safety incident has occurred, executes a response to the safety incident.

Augmented reality system for pilot and passengers

The present disclosure achieves technical advantages as an aircraft having an augmented reality flight control system integrated with and operable from the pilot seat and an associated pilot headgear unit, wherein the flight control system is supplemented by flight-assisting artificial intelligence and geo-location systems. The present disclosure includes an augmented reality flight control system incorporating real-world objects with virtual elements to provide relevant data to a pilot during aircraft flight. A translucent substrate is disposed in the pilot's field of view such that the pilot can see therethrough, and observe virtual elements displayed on the substrate. The system includes a headgear that is worn by the pilot. A flight assistance module is configured to receive data related to the aircraft and provide predictive assistance to the pilot during flight based on the received data based in part on a pilot profile having preferences related to the pilot.

Mouthguard retaining device
10820654 · 2020-11-03 ·

A device for connecting a mouthguard with a helmet includes a clip assembly with a base adapted for connection with the helmet and an arm releasably connected at a first end with the base. The arm is formed of resilient material and operable between an open position for receiving the mouthguard and a closed position for retaining the mouthguard against the helmet. The arm preferably has an elongated concave configuration and includes a second end having a first portion which abuts against the helmet and a second portion for engagement by a finger of a user to displace the arm between the open and closed position.
