Abstract: A method and program product includes detecting that a wearable item is being displayed for viewing by others during an activity of a user wearing the wearable item. The detecting at least including recording outputs from one or more electronic sensors. Location information and time data of the user during the activity are recorded. The recording at least comprising obtaining the location information and time data from an electronic tracking device. At least the recorded outputs, location information, and time data are transmitted to a server system, where the server system processes at least the recorded outputs, location information, and time data for brokering a paid sponsorship of the user.

Abstract: An improved quiet (low noise) hair dryer, which includes a handle for holding the same and supporting its blower assembly having a motor driven centrifugal fan assembly, achieves a significant reduction of noise by employing balanced volume inlets above and below the fan rotor, a special fan rotor configuration having blades with airfoil shapes and a curved trailing edges and diffuser ring in its outlet that employs the Coanda effect in the air exiting the dryer. The dryer can also include a resistive heating element to increase the temperature of the exiting air and, includes the necessary switches and cords for operation of its heating element and electric motor.

Abstract: A method of parametric design of an instrument panel support structure for an instrument panel on a vehicle includes the step of determining an input parameter, such that the input parameter is a three dimensional coordinate defining the instrument panel support structure relative to the vehicle. The method also includes the step of generating a design of the instrument panel support structure using the input parameter and determining if the design of the instrument panel support structure meets a predetermined criteria. The method further includes the step of modifying the input parameter if the design of the instrument panel support structure does not meet the predetermined criteria.
