Systems and apparatus related to automated tightening of a footwear platform including a footwear lacing apparatus are discussed. In an example, a footwear lacing apparatus can include a housing structure, a spool, and a drive mechanism. The housing structure can include a top section and a bottom section. The spool can include a superior surface, a lace spool under the superior surface and a spool shaft with a keyed connection pin. The spool can also be integrated into the top section of the housing structure. The drive mechanism can couple with the spool via the keyed connection pin on the spool shaft. The drive mechanism can be adapted to rotate the spool to tighten or loosen a lace cable integrated into the footwear.

Presented are intelligent electronic footwear with controller automated features, methods for making/using such footwear, and control systems for executing automated features of intelligent electronic footwear. An intelligent electronic shoe includes an upper that attaches to a user's foot, and a sole structure attached to the upper for supporting thereon the user's foot. A collision threat warning system, a detection tag, a wireless communications device, and a footwear controller are all mounted to the sole structure/upper. The detection tag receives a prompt signal from a transmitter-detector module and responsively transmits thereto a response signal. The footwear controller receives, through the wireless communications device, a pedestrian collision warning signal generated by the remote computing node responsive to the response signal. Responsively, the footwear controller transmits a command signal to the collision threat warning system to generate a visible, audible and/or tactile alert warning the user of an impending collision with a vehicle.

An electrical load set circuit and apparatus having at least three control signal lines arranged in parallel, a pair of polarized electrical loads connected between two of the signal lines, and another electrical load connected between a different control signal line and one of the polarized loads. Individual ones of the electrical loads can be selectively activated without requiring an additional common (ground) line. At least two of the control signal lines can be kept in a floating state. A light strip includes plural light set circuits spaced along the control signal lines. In another variation, first and second light points are spaced along the three control signal lines, each including three different color LEDs respectively. Further variations include display devices having rotating and slit patterns of illumination.

The invention relates to the technical field of shoe lights; in particular, to a shoe light device capable of flashing in different modes and a driving method thereof. A motion sensor, an integrated chip and a light-emitting device are integrated on a shoe, and the motion sensor and the light-emitting device are electrically connected to the integrated chip. The integrated chip is configured to control the light-emitting device to emit light in a preset constant-sequence output mode when the duration of reception of pulse signals generated by the motion sensor reaches a preset threshold, so that trigger control over the light-emitting device is realized. The shoe light device capable of flashing in different modes has the advantages of high integrity of elements, simple structure, simple production process, and various integrated cyclic output modes for flashing of the light-emitting device.

A method includes receiving monitoring data from at least one sensing device coupled to a subject and analyzing the monitoring data to identify one or more physiologic parameters of the subject. The method also includes providing signaling to at least one stimulating device in response to the identified physiologic parameters, the signaling comprising instructions to apply a stimulus to the subject. The method further includes receiving additional monitoring data from the at least one sensing device, analyzing the additional monitoring data to identify one or more changes in the one or more physiologic parameters of the subject after application of the stimulus to the subject, and providing additional signaling to the at least one stimulating device, the additional signaling comprising instructions to modify the stimulus applied to the subject based on the identified changes in the one or more physiologic parameters.
