The present invention is a compact wallet designed to present a minimal silhouette in a shirt, pants or purse pocket. Novel features hold the silhouette to the minimal dimensions of a credit card while affording maximal expandability for content storage and accessibility. A novel method makes additional features modularly available.

In various embodiments, a carry (or carrying) bag is provided that includes an interior, substantially cut-resistant security panel assembly with a matrix of wires secured between or on one or more flexible material layers. Also in various embodiments, the security panel assembly may be positioned intermediate the bag outside wall and a lining of the bag, and in other embodiments, may also take the form of an expansion panel. Second or secondary locking fasteners are also provided to lock first or primary fasteners to or within the carrying bag, to provide security for compartments and pockets. A strap with one or more security cables, and various locking fasteners, may be attached to the carry bag. Methods for forming such security panel assemblies, expansion panels, and carrying straps are also disclosed.

An accessory for a mobile electronic device includes a platform and a wallet. The platform is adapted to be attached to the mobile electronic device or a case for the mobile electronic device. The wallet is removably attached to the platform and configured to hold one or more objects associated with a user of the accessory.

An accessory for a mobile electronic device includes a platform, a wallet, and a grip accessory coupled to the wallet. The platform is adapted to be attached to the mobile electronic device or a case for the mobile electronic device. The wallet is attached to the platform and configured to hold one or more objects associated with a user of the accessory. The grip accessory is adapted to permit a user of the accessory to securely grip the accessory and includes a base and a gripping element movable relative to the base.

A device comprises a first tube having a first diameter and a second tube having a second diameter. A spring may be disposed between the first tube and the second tube. The spring may couple the first to the second tube. A plurality of tines may be disposed at a first end of the first tube and at a first end of the second tube.

A theft resistant handbag assembly for thwarting purse snatchers includes a shell, a trigger, and an antitheft module, which is operationally coupled to an actuator and comprises an alarm and a heater. The shell, which defines an interior space, has a top that is open. A handle that is coupled to the shell is configured for a user to carry the shell. A line is coupled to and extends between the trigger and a wrist strap, which is configured to position around a wrist of the user. Decoupling of the trigger, which is removably coupled to the actuator, activates the actuator. In an event the shell is snatched, the line is positioned to pull the trigger to decouple it from the actuator, positioning the actuator to actuate the alarm, to sound to draw attention to a purse snatcher, and the heater so that the purse snatcher drops the shell.

An activity classifier system and method that classifies human activities using 2D skeleton data. The system includes a skeleton preprocessor that transforms the 2D skeleton data into transformed skeleton data, the transformed skeleton data comprising scaled, relative joint positions and relative joint velocities. The system also includes a gesture classifier comprising a first recurrent neural network that receives the transformed skeleton data, and is trained to identify the most probable of a plurality of gestures. The system also has an action classifier comprising a second recurrent neural network that receives information from the first recurrent neural networks and is trained to identify the most probable of a plurality of actions.

Described herein are examples of a versatile insulation and secure storage system including an insulated sleeve, a first pocket, a second pocket, a fastener, and a multifunctional device. The insulated sleeve may be configured to surround and thermally insulate a container. The first pocket may be configured to hold a card a first card vertically within the insulated sleeve, and the second pocket may be configured to hold an identification card or driver's license within the insulated sleeve. The fastener may be configured to provide quick and reliable access to the second pocket. The multifunctional device may be attachable to an outer surface of the insulated sleeve, wherein the multifunctional device comprises various integrated components configured to provide additional functionality to the system.

A mechanical wallet or cardholder can be opened using one hand by sliding a top or second plate along rails parallel to a bottom or first plate. A card arm forces cards in the cardholder (i.e., located between the first and second plates) out a second end of the cardholder in a fanned or stepped fashion. A magnet in the card arm and in a first end of the frame (opposite the second end of the cardholder and frame) cooperate to return and retain the card arm and first plate in the closed position. A card lock at the second end of the frame retains cards in the cardholder when the cardholder is in the closed position and allows the cards to be pushed from the second end of the cardholder by the card arm when the second plate is moved to the open position.
