This invention relates to a wearable adaptative multi-use utility sleeve that enables quick, convenient, and tenacious securement of the multi-use utility sleeve to a person's appendage or torso while also allowing for the swift and convenient attachment and detachment of one or more handheld items to the utility sleeve. The present invention offers several embodiments, each of which utilize a plurality of bistable ribbons, that allow for a one-size-fits-all design that provides the ability to conform to the user's body.

A location and fall detection system (and method) includes a wearable band, a local gateway, and a cloud server. The wearable band includes an MCU, a radio-frequency pulse transmitter that periodically transmits a pulse, and a continuously sensing fall detection sensor. The MCU operates in low power mode except when a pulse is periodically transmitted, and when a fall is detected and a fall alert is transmitted. The gateway includes a radio-frequency pulse receiver and a data communication link to a cloud server. If a periodic pulse transmission is not received within a set period, the gateway transmits a location alert message to the cloud server. If a fall alert message is received the gateway likewise transmits a fall alert message to the cloud server. The band may further include a distress button that when activated, causes a distress message to be sent to the cloud server. The cloud server will contact various responsible parties as specified such as caregivers and first responders.

The multifunctional facemask is intended to improve on conventional facemask devices through an innovative facemask design that is designed to provide a convenient means of carrying while incorporating other problem-solving features. In other words, the device is designed to be rolled up, folded, or carried in a compact form, so as to be worn on the user's wrist as a fancy handkerchief or snap bracelet, when not being used as a facemask. To accomplish this, the device preferably uses buttons to secure the mask device to the wrist. More specifically, the device includes a flexible mask member and a face attachment member. The device further includes one or more fastening elements that can engage with the face attachment member, so as to enable the user to carry the facemask on the user's wrist or elbow. Thus, the multifunctional facemask is a user-friendly face mask device with improved functionality.

A wearable thermoregulation device, system, and method. A thermoelectric device is configured to controllably heat and cool a control surface. A power source is configured to provide power to operate the thermoelectric device. A wireless communications and control module is configured to wirelessly send and receive signals, and to control the thermoelectric device. A carrier structure carries the thermoelectric device, the power source, and the wireless communications and control module, and is configured to be removably carried on the body of a user such that the heated and cooled control surface is in direct contact with the user's skin.

A watch band for a watch can include an antenna that is operable for wireless communication with other devices. The antenna can be embedded within a body of the watch band to protect the antenna from an external environment and to conceal it from view. The antennas can adaptably stretch, bend, and flex with the watch band body, thereby avoiding damage from applied forces while also maintaining the compliance and comfort of the watch band while worn by a user.

A flexible jewelry cable includes a plurality of helical links. Each link has a body that extends helically about a central axis of the link. Each link includes a protrusion extending from an inner surface of the body at or near ends of the body. Each protrusion defines a through hole that is coaxially aligned with the body. The body defines a female recess on the inner surface of the body, each recess corresponding to one protrusion. The recesses are at or near the ends of the body. One recess of a first one of the links is configured to receive one protrusion of a second one of the links and align the hole of the received protrusion with the hole of one protrusion of the first link. The cable includes a string extending through the aligned holes of the protrusions of the links.

A bracelet has a metal wrist piece in an arc of a user's wrist, T-bars implemented on opposite ends, each T-bar comprising a round bar of a length substantially the width of the body of the wrist piece, spaced apart from the body of the wrist piece by a T element, a first compound strap of flexible material with a through passage at one end in the direction of the width, a central slot opening into the passage, and a male snap element presented on a surface of the compound strap proximate an end of the strap opposite the through passage, and a second compound strap like the first but with a female snap element. The bars at the ends of the body of the wrist piece are inserted into the through passages through the slots into the through passages, joining the straps to the wrist piece on opposite sides.

This application discloses a wearable member. The wearable member includes a main body, a gas emitter, and a light source, where the main body includes a first body and a second body; the first body and the second body jointly define a target region; the gas emitter and the light source are disposed in the main body; the gas emitter emits gas to the target region; the light source emits a light beam to the target region; and an overlapped region between a region including the gas and a region including the light beam is used to display an image.

A wrist band for attaching a portable electronic device to a user includes articulating segments which may be releasably connected so as to provide the user the capability of sizing the wristband by adding or removing links as desired. A clasp is also disclosed for securing the wristband to a user. A manufacturing device and method are disclosed for machining complex surfaces on the segments and clasp.

Wearable electronic devices, such as smart watches, can be provided with a band for securing the device to a wearer. The device and the band can include near-field communications (NFC) components that allow the device to uniquely identify the band. Device operations such as the color, theme, or content displayed on the device can be based, in part, on the identification of a particular band. The band may include a miniature NFC tag in an attachment portion of the band that is configured to be received in a recess in a housing of the device. An NFC module for reading the NFC tag can be provided within the recess of the housing, so that the attachment portion of the band and the recess in the device housing position and align the NFC tag with the NFC module when the band is attached to the device.
