Abstract: A hygiene monitoring device includes an elongate flexible sensing panel defining a longitudinal axis and a transversal axis and having a longitudinal length that is longer than its transversal width, and a data logger unit attached to the flexible sensing panel. The data logger unit defines a longitudinal axis and a transversal axis, and has a longitudinal length that is longer than its transversal width, and, when the data logger unit is attached to the sensing panel, the longitudinal axis of the flexible sensing panel is aligned along the longitudinal axis of the data logger unit. The flexible sensing panel includes a flexible substrate which carries a first sensing element, wherein a fastening material is disposed at a first surface of the flexible sensing panel and said data logger unit is disposed on the opposing, second surface of the flexible sensing panel.

Abstract: An ergonomic welding arm (1) includes a plurality of arm links (14, 20, 24) coupled by a plurality of joints (12, 18, 22). Each of the plurality of joints (12, 18, 22) is configured to allow the plurality of arm links (14, 20, 24) to be rotated about an axis with respect to a directly adjacent arm link (14, 20, 24). A first end of the welding arm (1) is configured to engage a support (4) for supporting the welding arm (1). A second end of the welding arm (1) is configured to engage a welding torch (10).

Abstract: A welding helmet includes a helmet shell contoured to substantially cover a user's face, and a neck guard removably attachable to a bottom portion of the helmet shell. The neck guard has a predetermined contour, aligning with a portion of the helmet shell contour, and is configured to cover at least a portion of a user's neck when the welding helmet is fitted to the head of the user. The neck guard is removably attachable to the helmet shell by a mechanical fastening arrangement, which can include a plurality of fasteners.
