The PCB is coupled to one or both of the first and second power sources and comprises a first resistor coupled to a first junction; a second resistor coupled to said first junction and a second junction; a negatively doped bipolar junction transistor (BJT), having a base terminal, an emitter terminal, and a collector terminal, said base terminal coupled to said first junction and said emitter terminal coupled to said second junction; an integrated circuit coupled to said collector terminal of said BJT and said second junction; and an n-channel metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET), having a source terminal and a drain terminal, with the source terminal coupled to the integrated circuit and the drain terminal coupled to the heating element.

Various embodiments of patient-mittens are disclosed and described. Such embodiments may include a hand-cover portion attached to a hollow elongate-sleeve portion. The hand-cover portion may cover the hand and fingers, preventing the patient from scratching themselves. The elongate-sleeve portion may cover a majority of an arm. Opposite from the hand-cover portion, there may be an arm-grabber attached at an end of the elongate-sleeve. This arm-grabber may squeeze the upper arm, above the elbow, to help keep the patient-mitten from coming off. Some embodiments, may include an access-slit on the elongate-sleeve for placing IVs and the like in a patient wearing the patient-mitten. The patient-mitten may help to minimize IVs and vital sign sensors from becoming dissociated from the patient. Some embodiments may be UV permeable to encourage vitamin D production in the patient. Some embodiments may provide a conducive environment for treating skin conditions on the arm, hand, or fingers.

This invention offers a fully protective cowl neck garment with various fasteners designed to attach additional protective gear, such as gloves and shoe coverings. Additionally, a temperature sensor shield is located on the hat and protective mask. This allows the clients or patients the ability to see and to monitor the temperature of their caregivers. The caregiver's temperature is visible on the hat, as well as the face mask. This makes the caregivers accountable to their clients or patients, as well as their colleagues and coworkers. This invention eliminates the worry of contact with infectious diseases or dangerous liquids, by utilizing elastic manual ties and hook-and-loop fasteners to ensure the garment is secured fully on a user's body. Overall, this invention ensures medical professionals, firemen, emergency medical personnel, government workers, and so forth, are protected fully from contagious and infectious diseases, liquids, and so forth.

A hand wear retention system has a cord having a first and second end, the cord for passing through sleeves of a garment, a first adjustable cord lock fastened to the first end, a second adjustable cord lock fastened to the second end, wherein the first and second ends protrude from the sleeves, positions of the first and second cord locks on the cord are adjustable and each of the first and second adjustable cord locks has a fastener for retaining hand wear. In another embodiment, the hand wear retention system has two anchors releasably mounted within the sleeves, each having a separate cord attached thereto, wherein the end of the cord has a cord lock which projects from the sleeve, wherein the cord lock has a fastener for engaging hand wear.

A garment suitable for use in conjunction with a seat belt to enhance the safe use of the seat belt, the garment comprising a front section and a rear section, the front and rear sections being joined together to produce a tube, the front and rear sections combining at one end of the tube to form a neck portion to be located around the neck and shoulders of a child while in use, the front section including one or more channels extending lengthwise down the front section, the channels comprising thinner material than the remainder of the garment and suitable to house or accommodate a strap or a seat belt.

Gloves designed for participation in active, primarily winter, sports activities, and which are intended to allow easy protection against ice and snow. They also protect the wrist area and, in addition, seal a glove for the most part or completely when the glove is not worn.
