A collar sized to be worn around the neck of a human subject has at least one member that defines an arc of less than 360° and greater than 180° having a diameter, a first compressor at a first end of the arc, a second compressor at a second end of the arc and a bend angle sensor. The collar is adapted to exert an inwardly-directed force on the first and second compressors when worn. The bend angle sensor is configured and positioned to detect a bend angle of the collar, wherein the bend angle correlates to the inwardly-directed force on the first and second compressors when worn.

Generating a risk and constraint labeled context map of an operational space is provided. The risk and constraint labeled context map of the operational space corresponding to a user of a cognitive suit is generated to drive the cognitive suit contextually using three-dimension reconstruction, virtual reality, and semi-supervised learning. Labeled risks and constraints in the risk and constraint labeled context map are associated with cognitive suit actuation events to deploy a set of mitigation strategies to address the labeled risks and constraints. An apparatus embedded in the cognitive suit is actuated to deploy the set of mitigation strategies in response to sensing a labeled risk or labeled constraint proximate to the user along a trajectory of the user in the operational space.

There is also provided a self-sustainable body-cooling garment for cooling a body portion of a human or an animal adapted to use the air pumping footwear and a cooling system for cooling the human or animal's body. There is provided a footwear comprising an air pump adapted to pump air when worn by a human or an animal during a pedestrian movement and to store or direct the pumped air for use by a cooling system for cooling the pumped air and using the cooled air for cooling the human or the animal. There is also provided a cooling system comprising an air pump adapted to be embedded within a footwear and a nozzle adapted to cool air pumped using the footwear when worn by a human or animal during a pedestrian movement.

The present invention relates to an inflator mounted on protective equipment, comprising: a main body (100) having a cylindrical structure that is open at the top and bottom thereof, wherein the main body (100) has a key-ball insertion hole (110) and a gas supply hole (120) that are formed on portions of a lateral side thereof, and a bomb (600) for storing compressed air is coupled to the lower side of the main body (100); an eccentric lever (200) that is rotatably coupled to the upper opening of the main body (100) through a rotation shaft (230) and includes a lever (210) that adjusts a downward pressure by rotating an eccentric drum part (220) having the shape of a circular plate; a perforation part (300) that provides a restoring force downward according to the pressure state of the eccentric lever (200) and perforates the bomb (600) to allow the gas in the bomb (600) to be supplied to a user's protective equipment through the gas supply hole (120); and a key-ball (400) that confines the movement of the perforation part (300) while being inserted into the key-ball insertion hole (110) and separates from the key-ball insertion hole (110) according to the state of the outside to operate the perforation part (300).

A brain injury reduction system provides a protective measure that temporarily or decreases venous drainage out of the intracranial compartment during or immediately before and during a sudden change in acceleration of an individual's head. Specifically, a wearable helmet or other wearable structure of the brain injury reduction system detects an impending collision and determines whether a protective measure is needed. If so, one or more actuation devices provides the protective measure to reduce venous drainage through one or both of the internal jugular veins or paravertebral venous plexus. A first actuation device stimulates a gag reflex or valsalva-like maneuver to reduce venous drainage through the paravertebral venous plexus. A second actuation device can physically compress the internal jugular veins. Thus, the brain injury reduction system minimizes the detrimental impact that may occur due to the sudden change in acceleration of the individual's head.

A garment includes a wearer protection assembly for a driver of an open vehicle, such as a motorcycle. The wearer protection assembly is operative to automatically detect for the driver wearing the garment, the driver's departure, for example, as a consequence of a highway accident, from the vehicle. In response to such detection, the wearer protection assembly deploys a normally (prior to departure from the motor vehicle) deflated bladder-like gas reservoir to be explosively inflated with a previously-stored compressed gas. The inflated bladder-like gas reservoir provides a gas-filled volume between an outer surface of the garment and body parts of the thrown person. That gas-filled volume is compressible and the gas within absorbs some of the energy encountered by the thrown person in response to external forces resulting from the accident or other separation-causing event.
