A lawn mower or stand-on powered drivable machine has an electrical port that receives current from an alternator powered by the engine or motor. The port receives a plug from a garment worn by the lawn mower operator. The garment includes one or more thermo-electric elements that are powered from current extending through the port. The thermo-electric (TEC) elements may be resistive heaters to warm the operator or TEC coolers to cool the operator. Furthermore, the garment may include a rechargeable battery that powers the thermo-electric elements when the plug is disconnected from the port.

Implementations of a clothing article with an integrated thermal regulation system are provided. An example clothing article with an integrated thermal regulation system is configured to heat a portion of a wearer's body by transferring heat from a warmer first region of the body (e.g., the calf portion of the leg or wrist portion of the arm) to a cooler second region (e.g., the plantar side of the toes or the dorsal side of the fingers). The transfer of heat is facilitated by a thermally conductive fluid that flows between a first thermal transfer bag in heat exchange contact with the warmer first region of the wearer's body and a second thermal transfer bag that is in heat exchange contact with the cooler second region. The thermal transfer bags being held in position by the clothing article into which they have been integrated.

The present invention discloses a warming coat, which belongs to the field of clothes. The warming coat includes a first coat layer, a second coat layer and a heating layer disposed between the first coat layer and the second coat layer, the heating layer including a heating element; and the warming coat further includes a first heat-reflecting layer disposed between one of the first coat layer and the second coat layer and the heating layer. The present invention is used for warming.

A heated article of clothing including a garment body, a heater coupled to the garment body, a heater supply cable configured to provide electrical power to the heater, and a battery pack configured to power to the heater by way of the heater supply cable. The garment body includes a first compartment configured to hold the battery pack, a second compartment configured to alternatively hold the battery pack, and a pass-through connecting the first compartment to the second compartment internally within the garment body such that the battery pack is movable between the first and second compartments while remaining coupled with the heater supply cable.

A lawn mower has an electrical port that receives current from an alternator powered by the lawn mower engine. The current and voltage sent the electrical port depend on a flywheel and stator arrangement operatively connected to the alternator. The stator may be replaceable or interchangeable to selectively determine the alternator current and voltage output. The port receives a plug from a garment worn by the lawn mower operator. The garment includes one or more thermo-electric elements that are powered from current extending through the port. The thermo-electric elements may be resistive heaters to warm the operator or TEC coolers to cool the operator. Furthermore, the garment may include a rechargeable battery that powers the thermo-electric elements when the plug is disconnected from the port.

An article is provided which includes a flexible body configured to cover part of a user's body, at least one humidity sensor coupled to the flexible body and configured to measure a humidity of the user's skin or an internal microclimate; at least one temperature sensor coupled to the flexible body and configured to measure a temperature of the user's skin or an internal microclimate; at least one microclimate control element coupled to the flexible body; a controller functionally coupled to the at least one humidity sensor and the at least one temperature sensor to receive measured humidity and temperature signals as an input and functionally coupled to the at least one microclimate control element, the controller being preprogrammed to maintain the internal microclimate under a discomfort threshold value; a user interface functionally coupled to the controller; a power supply; and a switch.

A biosensory garment comprising removal portions to permit access to parts of a wearer's body. The portions having physiological sensors in contact with the wearer's body. A central processor adapted to receive, process and transmit sensor information to a command computer Wherein the wearer's physical condition can be monitored or recorded over a time period to facilitate medical intervention, ongoing recovery or rehabilitation.

A clothing-type fabric capable of heating itself and cooling itself for the bodily comfort of a wearer includes a fabric body, at least two first electrodes, a second electrode, and a processor. The fabric body includes an inner surface and an outer surface opposite to the inner surface. The at least two first electrodes are disposed above the inner surface and the outer surface. The first electrode disposed above the inner surface can sense a body temperature of a wearer (first temperature value). The first electrode disposed above the outer surface can sense temperature of ambient environment (second temperature value). The second electrode is disposed above the inner surface, and can release heat and absorb heat. The processor can receive the first and the second temperature values, and control the second electrode to release or absorb heat by reference to the first temperature value and the second temperature value.

A voltage control device in one aspect of the present disclosure includes an appliance connector, a voltage output circuit, a manual switch, and a controller. The voltage output circuit outputs an operating voltage based on a direct voltage received from a direct-current power source. In response to a first electric appliance being connected to the appliance connector, the controller controls the voltage output circuit so as to fix the operating voltage. In response to a second electric appliance being connected to the appliance connector, the controller controls the voltage output circuit so as to vary the operating voltage in accordance with a manual operation applied to the manual switch.

A lawn mower has an electrical port that receives current from an alternator powered by the lawn mower engine. The current and voltage sent the electrical port depend on a flywheel and stator arrangement operatively connected to the alternator. The stator may be replaceable or interchangeable to selectively determine the alternator current and voltage output. The port receives a plug from a garment worn by the lawn mower operator. The garment includes one or more thermo-electric elements that are powered from current extending through the port. The thermo-electric elements may be resistive heaters to warm the operator or TEC coolers to cool the operator. Furthermore, the garment may include a rechargeable battery that powers the thermo-electric elements when the plug is disconnected from the port.
