Abstract: There is provided an electroencephalogram (EEG) sensing assembly. The EEG sensing assembly includes a support layer having an outer side and an opposite inner side for facing a head of a user and at least one sensing electrode. The at least one sensing electrode includes an electrically conductive layer positioned against the inner side of the support layer, a resilient member positioned between the support layer and the electrically conductive layer, and a pair of cooperating snap rings including a first snap ring positioned against the conductive layer and including prongs for engaging through the electrically conductive layer, the resilient member, and the support layer and a second snap ring positioned against the outer side of the support layer and including a socket for snap-fitting the prongs of the first snap ring for retaining together the electrically conductive layer, the resilient member and the support layer.

Abstract: A neurofeedback headgear is provided. The neurofeedback headgear comprises a head receiving portion, a brim portion, an EEG sensor assembly and an emitter. The EEG sensor assembly includes one or more sensing electrodes located on the inner side of the head receiving portion, for contacting the forehead of the user and sensing brain activity when the headgear is worn. The EEG sensor assembly also includes a microcontroller in communication with the sensing electrodes, the microcontroller being mounted to the inner side of the head receiving portion and concealed under the concealing layer. The emitter emits a visual feedback according to the state of brain activity determined by the microcontroller, the visual feedback being located within a field of vision of the user when the headgear is worn by the user.

Abstract: A method for wrapping at least a portion of an article (22) including folding the wrapper material (60) to cover at least one first peripheral face (24, 30) such that each one of at least two first wrapper sections extends beyond a respective first lateral edge (32) of the at least one first peripheral face (24, 30) and such that each one of at least one second wrapper section extends beyond an upper edge (38, 40) of a respective one of at least one second peripheral face (30, 24), folding and securing each first section against one of the at least one second peripheral face (30, 24), and folding and securing each second section against the respective second peripheral face (30, 24). The wrapper material (60) remaining at least partially grabbed until at least one of the at least one second section is secured.

Abstract: An apparatus for removing ice from an electric cable is disclosed. This apparatus comprises an impact actuator, an impact member in the from of a rod, and a fastener to hang the apparatus from the electric cable. The apparatus can be remotely activated and can be activated many times before reloading. Triggering of the impact actuator produces an impact between the rod and the electric cable suitable to produce a shock wave that propagates along the electric cable to cause the accumulated ice to break and fall on the ground.
