Abstract: A wearable electronic device includes an electrode array for transdermal stimulation of a sensory nerve that itself innervates a body part distal to a worn location of the wearable electronic device. The transdermal stimulation is configured to induce an electrical current or voltage that evokes a sensory impression at an area innervated by the sensory nerve, not at the stimulated sensory nerve itself. In one implementation, the wearable electronic device takes a finger ring form factor worn on a proximal phalanx of an index finger. In this configuration, the wearable electronic device can stimulate a portion of a branch of the median nerve extending through the index finger. Upon stimulation of the median nerve, a user wearing the finger ring may perceive pressure applied to the user's fingertip.

Abstract: In some examples, a first device includes multiple fixed first cameras and a movable second camera. A processor is configured to receive, from at least one of the fixed first cameras, a plurality of first images of an airspace corresponding to an area of operation of an unmanned aerial vehicle, and detect, based at least on the first images, a candidate object approaching or within the airspace. Based on detecting the candidate object, the processor controls a movable second camera to direct a field of view of the movable second camera toward the candidate object. Based on one or more second images from the movable second camera captured at a first location and one or more third images from a third camera captured at a second location, the processor may determine that the candidate object is an object of interest and perform at least one action.

Abstract: According to some examples, an energy harvesting assembly for a projectile comprises an inlet provided at the tip of a casing of the projectile, multiple outlets provided circumferentially around an outer surface of the casing proximate the tip, and an airflow channel structure extending from the inlet in a generally axial direction through a turbine to the multiple outlets.

Abstract: A hair care accessory is provided for use in drying and/or styling hair. The hair care accessory can include an elongate hollow body having a longitudinal axis and an inner lumen extending there through along the longitudinal axis. The hair care accessory can also include a plurality of outlets extending longitudinally along the elongate hollow body and circumferentially therearound. The plurality of outlets can be configured to convey a fluid flow received at an air inlet of the elongate hollow body therethrough and circumferentially around the elongate hollow body to cause the fluid flow to adhere to a surface of the elongate hollow body.

Abstract: According to some examples, a non-incendiary projectile comprises a housing defining an internal cavity, and an energy harvesting structure comprising a first part and a second part, the first part provided on an inner surface of the housing, the second part provided in the internal cavity, the second part further comprising a rotation damping system configured to regulate a rate of rotation of the second part in a rotational direction about a flight axis defined by the housing.

Abstract: A hair care accessory is provided for use in drying and/or styling hair. The hair care accessory can include an elongate frame having a longitudinal axis and an inner lumen extending there through along the longitudinal axis. The hair care accessory can also include a plurality of plates disposed on the elongate frame. The plurality of plates can include a first row of plates that can be spaced circumferentially around a first longitudinal portion of the elongate frame, and at least one second row of plates that can be spaced circumferentially around a second longitudinal portion of the elongate frame. Each plate in the first row of plates can define a first longitudinally extending outlet and each plate in the second row of plates can define a second longitudinally extending outlet. The second longitudinally extending outlet being circumferentially offset from the first longitudinally extending outlet.
