Abstract: An athletic head gear having a hard outer shell, at least one soft inner padding cushioning the head of a user from the hard outer shell, and a medicated patch including an adhesive layer contacting the soft inner padding, and a medicated layer for contacting the user's skin, where the medicated patch includes a medicament useful for treating or preventing acne.

Abstract: For a battery-operable device, an overload protector may prevent a catastrophic malfunction. Using the overload protector, a power source may enable controlled delivery of power to the battery-operable device as a result of a timely intervention. More particularly, in mobile devices or systems with variable power consumption components and/or operational modes, the frequency of the occurrence of tripping in a battery may be reduced or even eliminated in some cases. In one embodiment, a battery overload protector may continuously monitor available power from a power delivery unit and alert a processor-based system before a threshold of available power is reached by tracking power consumption against the threshold. The battery overload protector may issue a warning to the processor-based system in order to avoid exceeding the threshold.

Abstract: A voltage regulator for a computer processor having different voltage levels. When a processor starts up from a temperature which is colder than its operating temperature, it requires a higher voltage than normal. A multiplexer selects either the normal voltage or the higher voltage depending on whether the device has been running or just turned on. The selected signal controls the voltage regulator to produce the desired voltage for the processor. Selections may also be made based on other circumstances such as the end of a sleep state or a different mode of operation.
