Abstract: There is disclosed an apparatus having a scene monitor to capture the images or videos, storing a first plurality of data most recently obtained over a predetermined length of time to the apparatus. The main controller comprises a transceiver for performing wireless communication and continuously/regularly sends a copy of the first plurality of data to a separate mobile computing device for safe keeping . . . In the event of attack or an emergency, the transceiver of the personal security apparatus sends the first plurality of data and second plurality of data to mobile computing device and the mobile computing device transfers the first plurality of data and second plurality of data to a secure server.

Abstract: Provided herein is a balancing device for preventing accidental fall out of a wireless earbud OR TWS, when the wireless earbud is dislodged during any activity such as but not limited to exercise or running activities. The balancing device includes a flexible element arranged to wrap around the back of the ear; and a counterweight, wherein the flexible element is configured to hang over the top of a user's ear and the counterweight is attached to the flexible element to counteract the weight of the wireless earbud, thereby the wireless earbud is stopped from slipping off and falling to the ground, when the earbud is accidently dropped or dislodged from the ear. The balancing device is compatible with a regular ear-rings or any other ear jewellery with a metal plate with a hole.

Abstract: A wearable electronic device having at least one analog information indicator; a digital display for displaying information; at least one actuation mechanism, coupled to the at least one analog information indicator, for rotating the at least one analog information indicator in at least one of a clockwise and counterclockwise direction; and a controller, operatively coupled to the at least one actuation mechanism and the digital display, for coordinating the positioning of the at least one analog information indicator based on the information being displayed on the digital display. A method of facilitating the display of information on a digital display of a wearable electronic device is also provided.

Abstract: A device for carrying cordage includes a flexible, elongate and planar inner core having two opposite longitudinal sides and two opposite ends; and a cord wound around the two opposite longitudinal sides of the inner core along a longitudinal direction between the two opposite ends. The inner core and the wound cord together form an insert which has sufficient rigidity that facilitates full insertion of the insert into the sheath, strap, belt, or enclosure without bunching or kinking of the cord in a way that blocks a trailing portion of the cord from inserting into the sheath, strap, belt, or enclosure. A method for manufacturing the device is also disclosed.

Abstract: A device for carrying cordage and survival tools including a flexible and elongate inner core, a cord wound around the inner core, and an outer sheath provided with an open end through which the inner core with the cord wound therearound is inserted. The outer sheath with the inner core and cord inside can be used as a watch strap for carrying thereon a watch case and a box disposed underneath the watch case for carrying survival tools. A method for manufacturing the device for carrying cordage and survival tools is also disclosed.

Abstract: A system in a method are provided for sending and receiving messages between a point located on the ground and a point located on an aircraft via an Iridium Short Burst Data Service. The messages may conform to Airlines Electronic Engineering Committee (AEEC) Specification 618. The messages may be ground-to-air messages or air-to-ground messages. The messages may be ACARS messages and at least some of the messages may have a length exceeding a maximum payload of the Iridium Short Burst Data Service. ACARS messages, which exceed the maximum payload of the Iridium Short Burst Data Service may be segmented and each of the segments may be sent in respective Iridium Short Burst Data messages via the Iridium Short Burst Data Service. When the separate Iridium Short Burst Data messages are received, the segments may be combined to reconstruct the ACARS message for delivery to an intended destination.
