A protective head support assembly, including a helmet having one or more sensors, a vest, at least one stabilizer tube filled with a fluid, including a first end connected to the helmet, and a second end connected to the vest, and a transducer arranged to receive a signal from the one or more sensors and introduce a magnetic field to the fluid.

The invention includes a protective headpiece and components thereof and methods for their use. Preferred examples comprise a helmet component, a plurality of piers joining said helmet component to a shoulder pad component and an inner hat component permitting the wearer the ability to move the head from side to side and/or up and down within the helmet component without moving the helmet component. The helmet component may comprise a plurality of fluid-filled floating plates or floats on the inner surface thereof to cushion the head against impact during activities including, for example, football, race car driving, military activities and the like.

A protective apparatus for protecting at least a user's neck area from impact forces directed thereto, has a neck-protective structure about the neck area at a distance for bearing and absorbing the impact forces, and a base structure coupled to the protective structure. The protective structure is demountably attachable to an upper body area of the user for supporting the protective structure thereon and for absorbing the impact forces absorbed distributed from the protective structure.

The disclosure provides neck collar devices and systems for the mitigation and prevention of traumatic brain injury, including concussion. Specifically disclosed are adjustable collars and systems, and collars having certain pressure sensing devices.

An Internet of Thing (IoT) device includes a transceiver coupled to a processor. Blockchain smart contracts can be used with the device to facilitate secure operation.

Disclosed herein are wearable articles and methods for the manufacture and use thereof. The wearable articles can comprise compression elements, gripping elements, and support elements containing a rate-sensitive materials which can operate to prevent injury.

An Internet of Thing (IoT) device includes a body with a processor, a camera and a wireless transceiver coupled to the processor.

An articulated cervical spine and neck protection system including an articulated cervical shroud assembly made of a rigid material and including an inner cervical shroud being approximately funnel-shaped and having a funnel portion and a neck portion, the inner cervical shroud is configured to be worn around a neck of a wearer, and the funnel portion configured to cradle a head of a wearer from below such that movement of the head of the wearer causes a corresponding movement of the inner cervical shroud; and an outer cervical shroud having a lower portion and an upper portion including a wall and is sized to sit concentrically around the neck portion of the inner cervical shroud so that the inner cervical shroud is partially nested within the outer cervical shroud that, when worn together, forms a ball-and-socket style articulation with the upper portion of the outer cervical shroud.

An arm and chest exerciser Includes elastic cuffs into which an exerciser places the upper arias. An elastic chest, band connects the cuffs. Moving the user's arms backwardly stretches the chest hand and exercises muscles of the arms, chest and shoulder. A gripping handle connects to the chest band adjacent a midpoint allowing the user or spotter to pull down on the chest hand and appropriately position it on the user's chest. A similar device may be incorporated into a weight lifter's shirt to store energy during a lift and thereby give the user's an ability to bench press heavier weights.

An Internet of Thing (IoT) device includes a camera coupled to a processor; and a wireless transceiver coupled to the processor. Blockchain smart contracts can be used with the device to facilitate secure operation.
