System and methods for managing compliance of a wearer of apparel are disclosed. One method includes receiving an identifier associated with a toe cap for footwear; receiving, via radio frequency, characteristic information associated with the toe cap for footwear; determining a compliance of the toe cap based at least on the identifier and the characteristic information; and providing a response to a wearer of the footwear based at least upon the determination of the compliance.

Briefly, an efficient and scalable processor device is disclosed that uses multi-value voltages for operands, results, and signaling. An array of cells is arranged in rows and columns, and one or more multi-value operands are used to select a cell from the array. A row driver may be used to select a row of cells, and a column driver is used to select a particular column from the selected row. Once a particular cell is selected, a voltage value associated with that cell is passed as an output, which is typically a multi-value result. The multi-value processor is constructed such that the row driver and column driver can be substantially identical, and have a structure that enables significant circuit reuse, provides substantial reduction in size for a circuit layout, has increased layout symmetry, simple scalability, and advantageous power conservation.

The monitoring device provides value to parents by assisting with monitoring their infants via a convenient sensor package, straightforward interface, and informative data. With movement, orientation, and temperature data, some strong indicators of general well-being can be monitored and conclusions extracted without the parent needing to be constantly involved. The low-power transceiver technology also means that the device can integrate with smart devices for even more convenience. Such a smart device can in turn communicate with modem large-scale data storage and analysis centers for data logging and analytics, which allows useful analytics to be passed back to the user. The advanced sensing, displaying, and analyzing of data makes the invention stands out in the field of infant monitoring devices.

A row driver is configured to activate a row line responsive to a signal having one of multiple possible values. A column driver is configured to activate a column line responsive to a signal having one of multiple possible values. The row and column drivers comprise sets of sense amps and decoders. One of a plurality of lines is operably connected to and input/output line responsive to the active row line and column line. The use of sense amps in the row and column drivers enables this flow control circuit to operate with low power consumption and allows the flow control circuit to act as a register.

Device and method for enabling multi-value digital computation

Hardware and processes are provided for efficient interpretation of multi-value signals. The multi-value signals have a first voltage range with is used to indicate multiple numerical or logical values, and a second voltage range that is used to provide control functions. In one example, the multi-value circuitry is arranged as a set of rows and columns, which may be cascaded together. The control function can be implemented to cause portions of rows, columns, or cascaded connections to be powered off, thereby saving power and enabling more efficient operation.

A power turbine is provided in the form of a set of plates that cooperate to form a housing, with a set of spaced apart disks mounted on a shaft within the housing. Some of the plates and disks cooperate to allow gas or steam to be injected to provide a driving force on the shaft, while others of the disks and plates cooperate to form one or more integral pumps. The pumps are used to pull cooling liquid or water into the housing, and to cool the driving disks. In this way, the steam that drives the disks is condensed while still in the housing, with a water level maintained on the driving disks. In operation, the steam directly acts on the disks toward the outer circumference of the disks, but more toward the center of the disk, the steam transfers its energy to the water, and the water transfers the energy to the disk. Since water is less compressible and able to efficiently transfer energy to the disks, the power turbine is able to operate at relatively slow speeds, has good low-speed torque, and still has excellent conversion efficiency.

An ornamental face mask has an upper face portion and a lower jaw portion hinged together solely by elastic bands. The bands are located at the outer edges of the mask and bridge the upper face portion and the lower portion. The lower jaw portion is also designed so as to grip the chin of the wearer when the mask is held over his face by an elastic mounting strap.
