Abstract: Aspects herein are directed to an apparel item that promotes thermo-regulation through the use of engineered openings, venting, and/or stand-off structures. In exemplary aspects, 20-45% of the apparel item may comprise the engineered openings. Vents may be positioned on the apparel item in areas that experience high amounts of air flow to help channel air into the apparel item. The stand-off structures may be positioned on an inner-facing surface of the apparel item where they help to create a space between the apparel item and the wearer's body surface in which air can flow and help cool the wearer by promoting evaporative cooling.

Abstract: An exciter ring assembly to detect rotational parameters of an axle within a tube has an exciter ring attached to the axle by an elastomer insert. The insert provides a frictional interference fit with the axle. The insert affixes the exciter ring to rotate with the axle. The elastomer insert is supplied with radially-spaced axial channels to enable oil flow past the assembly. The outer member of the assembly is press fit into the axle tube. The outer member remains stationary with respect to the axle tube. The outer member restricts the axial movement of the exciter ring and enables rotation of the exciter ring and provides oil flow across the exciter ring assembly.

Abstract: An apparatus is provided for facilitating operation of a computer input device which includes a tracking member. The apparatus includes a sheet having a top surface configured to engage the tracking member and a bottom surface, and a double sided tape having a permanent adhesive on a first side surface and a removable adhesive on a second side surface. The first side surface of the barrier is affixed to the bottom surface of the sheet by the permanent adhesive, and the removable adhesive is exposed to secure the sheet to a support surface. A cover is located over the removable adhesive on the second surface of the double sided tape to protect the removable adhesive.
