Abstract: A system provides a user an interactive graphic software interface to navigate to an image representative of any particular emotion from within a matrix containing representations of a continuous range of emotional states. The user can then send the selected image to one or more other users or to aggregator servers in order to communicate emotions or to tag or rate various things with emotional significance, so that quantitative statistics on emotional significance can be computed for those things. The system can also be used to track emotional state through a range of time periods or geospatial locations.

Abstract: A web is formed from two sheets of polymeric material. An upper sheet includes pockets of any form. A lower sheet is subsequently bonded to the upper sheet which causes the sealing of each of the pockets. A web thus formed may be laminated with a metallic foil or metallized polymeric film. Such a web may also be laminated with a similar web in a face to face relationship so that the pockets interdigitate.

Abstract: A protector pad (10) for a sportsman includes and outer protector (11) adapted to at least partially assume the shape of the area to be protected and an inner shock absorbing pad (12) in the form of an air cushioned pad. The outer protector (11) is formed from moulded plastics material and has longitudinal ribs (13) which permit the protector to achieve a curvature fit around the area to be protected.
