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.

A method of generating a customized headgear that includes a plurality of physical features and being usable with a mask component that supplies a flow of breathing gas to the patient's airways. The method includes receiving one or more parameters pertaining to the patient's head, subjecting at least some of the parameters to one or more algorithms to determine at least one of a length of a physical feature of the plurality of physical features and an angle between a pair of physical features of the plurality of physical features, generating an outline of at least a portion of a body which, when formed, is usable to assemble therefrom at least a portion of the headgear, and outputting a pattern usable to enable the formation of the at least portion of the body from at least a first sheet of at least a first material.

A face mask is provided. A face mask comprising a decorative skin, having a strap attached to an outer perimeter of the decorative skin, a respirator attached to a connection piece and utilizes a filter, the connection piece being attached to the decorative skin, a speaker and a microphone mounted to an interior of the face mask, an electronic transceiver module attached to the face mask and a power source attached to the face mask. The strap secures the face mask to a head of the user, the filter is connected to the respirator such that an air-tight seal is formed. The power source powers the speaker, the microphone, and the electronic transceiver module. The electronic transceiver module comprises a processor coupled to a computer memory and non-transitory computer readable media, the processor configured to transmit and receive signals from the electronic transceiver module and the speaker or microphone.

A personal protection and ventilation system is provided. The system includes a gown having front and rear panels, a hood, and visor; a fan; an air tube; and a helmet. The fan is positioned between the wearer and a body-facing surface of the rear panel. The front panel and at least a portion of the hood are formed from a first material including a first spunbond layer, a spunbond-meltblown-spunbond laminate, and a liquid impervious elastic film disposed therebetween. The first material has an air volumetric flow rate of less than about 1 standard cubic feet per minute (scfm). The rear panel is formed from a second material including a nonwoven laminate having an air volumetric flow rate of about 20 scfm to about 80 scfm. Therefore, the fan is able to intake a sufficient amount of air from the environment through the rear panel to provide cooling/ventilation to the hood.

A personal protective headgear is an apparatus fully enclosing a user's head, protecting not only from potential contamination of breathing air but also from potential physical damage. A facial shield is hermetically sealed around the front-facing portion of the apparatus, preventing entrance of unfiltered air. Fans direct air through a set of filters, thus cleansing air entering the apparatus. The apparatus may further be equipped with a variety of interactivity modules, including cameras, speakers, lights, displays, and more. A set of sensors may be utilized to monitor the user and the user's surroundings in different conditions. The apparatus may also include wireless capabilities that allow the wearer to transfer information to and from a remote user, thereby allowing the user to follow instructions or otherwise interact with a guide or other such remote companion. Swappable battery packs allow the user to avoid losing power, even while replenishing power supplies.

A negative pressure respirator assembly may have an exchangeable filter elements, at least one intake valve, a facepiece body comprising a headband and a face shield, an outflow valve, an outflow tube coupled to the outflow valve, the outflow tube directing exhaust in at least one direction selected from the group consisting of parallel to the user's torso and down the user's shirt, into the user's personal protective equipment, and over the user's shoulder.

A headgear device for a user including an integrated face shield, mask and hood. More specifically, the headgear device includes a hood, a face shield, and a moisture barrier fabric to cover the user's mouth when the headgear device is worn and direct air out through a breathable particle filtration fabric.
