A system assesses activity and displays a unitless activity value. A detector senses activity of a user. A processor reads sensed activity data from the detector. A display displays the unitless activity value. An enclosure houses the detector and the processor. The processor periodically reads the sensed activity data from the detector and processes the data to generate an activity number, the number being used to generate the unitless activity value based upon a maximum number and a display range.

A test device for determining the prickle property of the fabrics objectively includes nails on a measuring head fixed in an upper region of the test device, wherein the nails come in the contact with stiff fibers. The test device also includes an operation panel, a light source, a camera, a sample holder. The measurement uses a circular movement of the fabric instead of a linear movement unlike the previous studies. The measuring head does not apply any pressure on the fabric, only by lowering the measurement head, the nails squeezed in the head penetrate in the hairs of the fabric. In this situation, during the movement of the head, prickle force caused by the fiber ends can be detected. With the test device, it is possible to test both woven and knitted fabrics.

Embodiments generally relate to personal protective equipment (PPE) (such as gloves, shoes/boots, hoods, protective clothing, etc.) for industrial applications. More specifically, the invention relates to using magnetic particles (e.g. incorporated within or attached/affixed to the PPE) so that a magnetic scan may be run to determine a change (e.g. decrease) in initial magnetic field signature (MFS) for the PPE). The change in MFS is used to determine end of service life of the PPE (such that the protective equipment should be retired or repaired).

An instrumental approach enabling evaluation of efficacy of skin care products is disclosed. Common problems shared by existing methods include first the difficulty whether to test the entire human face, or just focus on the key locations (not determined yet); the difficulty in conducting a repeatable test when human face is hard to fix on and changes between different persons; and how many different skin attributes to test for making a reliable and complete judgment. The instrumental approach of the process tests a sample at once to obtain all the information needed. It shows good repeatability and sensitivity. It yields necessary yet sufficient information in numbers.
