International Classification:

A42B 3/06

A42B 3/12

Abstract:

The present invention is a helmet system that reduces concussions by damping rotational force transmitted to a helmet user. The helmet has an exterior shell and an internal body that moves independently from the exterior shell. At least one magnetic source on the exterior shell's interior has a dipole directed axially at the internal body. At least one magnetic source on the internal body has a dipole aligned with the same axis, directed at the exterior shell. In a resting state magnetic sources generate a weak magnetic field. When an impact rotates the exterior shell, it moves off the initial alignment and closer to the internal body. The previously aligned magnetic sources torque. The magnetic source on the internal body torques in the opposite direction of the rotation, as do all initially aligned magnetic sources impacted. Angular momentum is displaced, diffused, offset, damping rotational force transmitted to a helmet user.

Abstract:

Controlled motion capsules and associated systems and methods are described. Controlled motion capsules can decelerate, and stop, without damaging epithelial walls. If any components fail, a controlled motion capsule, without added energy, becomes its most compact shape, passing harmlessly through the GI tract. Controlled motion capsule may include a shape changing material, comprising a reversible soft copolymer, in a container in the capsule, with a nonionizing radiation emitter, and a controller to activate the nonionizing radiation to expand and contract the shape changing material, on detection of certain conditions or instructions. Expansion of the shape changing material, including contact with epithelial walls, decelerates and can stop the controlled motion capsule movement. Motion control allows scientists to study the microbiome, doctors to deliver intestinal drugs at precise locations, and to closely examine signs of precancerous growth.

Abstract:

A fine cover particularly for use with respirator facemasks comprises one or more components, each defined by a perimeter, holding flexible, breathable material. The components expand to cover part of a respirator facemask and fold smoothly to close exposed surfaces during removal, thereby preventing pathogen shedding. The cInstitute of Medicine, 2006 Reusability of Facemasks During an Influenza Pandemic: Facing the Flu; losed unit is placed in a bag for cleaning, disposal, or testing. Samples taken from fine cover can be tested to detect airborne pathogens, an optimal airborne pathogen monitoring system in medical facilities. In addition, the fine cover may have graphical imagery to directs an observer's gaze in the same patterns followed when looking at an unmasked face, thereby reducing subconscious interaction anxiety.

International Classification:

A41D 13/11

Abstract:

A mask-on-a-stick includes a holding part and a mask unit which are connected, in which the mask unit has a curved shape. When a user is holding the mask-on-a-stick, the mask unit fits naturally over their mouth and lower nose, and the mask unit surface prevents the user from spreading microbial particles to the environment. The widest part of the mask unit fits over the user's mouth, and above this area the mask unit extends to cover the lower nose. The mask-on-a-stick can be manufactured from cellulose-based material at reasonable cost, so as to be disposable, or recyclable after sterilizing, and numerous sizes of the mask-on-a-stick may be made available for customers at restaurants and other locations where people remove facemasks to eat or drink, but need to cover their mouth and nose when talking.

International Classification:

Abstract:

An acoustic wavefront shaping device for altering the propagation of emergency siren sounds is provided. The device includes an enclosed framework containing sound channels mounted before a siren horn. The sound channels are positioned to partition the spherical wavefronts emitted by the siren and transmit each subwavelength portion from the channel's entrance to exit into free space. The interior space of the sound channels contain acoustic meta-atoms that direct subwavelength acoustic energy on meandering paths, which extend the transmission duration. Channels higher up in the framework, and away from the center, have straighter paths that transmit acoustic energy more quickly than other channels. The subwavelength segments exit the channels at different times and reconfigure to form a wavefront that is squat and narrow, compared to spherical wavefronts. This wavefront expands into free space staying closer to the ground and closer to the center of the road than spherical wavefront expansion. The sound channels may be further configured with forced air currents to eliminate backscattering and eddies of acoustic energy flow, and the transmission duration of subwavelength segments may be modified using temperature modification. Flexible meta-atoms can change shape in response to changing sound frequency to maintain wavefront shaping.

International Classification:

A42B 3/06

A42B 3/04

Abstract:

The present invention is a helmet system that reduces concussions by damping rotational forces transmitted to a helmet wearer's head. The helmet has an exterior shell with an internal side that has impact absorption apparatus attached. The helmet also has an internal body worn close to the wearer's head. A gap between the internal body and the impact absorption apparatus close to the shell is maintained with flexible projections. At least one magnet assembly is located with the exterior shell absorption apparatus, with a magnetic pole extending axially inwards, and at least one magnet array is located with the internal body, with the same magnetic pole extending axially outwards. Each internal body magnetic field is axially aligned with a magnetic field of a respective magnet assembly located with the exterior shell absorption apparatus. In a resting state the aligned magnetic fields have little magnetic interaction. The internal body, in contact with the player's head, moves independently from the exterior shell; in one embodiment the internal body moves freely on a skeletal structure. When the wearer's helmet collides with another object, the wearer's head drives the internal body out, and the collision object drives the exterior shell absorption apparatus in. Magnetic repulsion increases. When the collision is tangential, the exterior shell magnet assembly is offset from axial alignment with the internal body, and the magnet array with the internal body torques, so the internal body resists rotational movement, or the internal body moves in the opposite direction of the exterior shell rotation vector. This dampens transmission of rotational forces to the wearer's head. In one embodiment sensors on the internal body detect and send magnetic field acceleration data to a controller, and if the shell's rotation is above a threshold acceleration, the controller inflates an airbag around a user's neck and head to inflate and keep the user's head from moving.

Abstract:

The present disclosure relates to a photodental device that can deliver specific light wavelengths to animal oral cavities, particularly dogs. The device may be provided in a variety of shapes, sizes, and materials, for breeds from under 2 kg (4.4 lbs) to over 115 kg (254 lbs). The device has a container which may protect light sources and may be used to receive light transmission, comprising an illuminating member. The device can further include replaceable housings with photoactivated compounds. The device may be configured for untethered use by an animal. Alternatively, the electro-optical components can be placed in a separate body and transmit light through a tethered connection to a member used by an animal. Sensor components may activate light generation components in predetermined conditions. Alternatively, humans may control activation. The present disclosure also relates to methods of photodentistry using the photodental device as bactericidal treatment and periodontal treatment.
