Abstract: A wireless transmission system logs and communicates a location of an object. The wireless transmission system includes a wireless antenna configured to transmit a first beacon signal and a second advertising beacon signal. The system also includes a processor and a memory that stores instructions executable by the processor. The instructions cause the wireless antenna to repeatedly transmit the first beacon signal through a first number of transmission repetitions spaced at a first repeat interval. After completing the first number of transmission repetitions, the wireless antenna withholds transmission during a transition interval. After the transition interval, the wireless antenna repeatedly transmits the second advertising beacon signal through a second number of transmission repetitions at a second repeat interval. The wireless antenna, memory, and processor may be integrated in to a mountable housing and attached to an object or integrated with the tool.

Abstract: A wearable physical rehabilitation device configured to separate the thighs of a subject to promote proper posture of the pelvis while walking is provided. The device comprises a supporting belt fitted around the subject's waist, a 3D wedge-like PU-foam structure arranged between the subject's thighs, a saddle-shaped structure for receiving the subject's buttocks, and a hollow control handle arranged anteriorly relative to the subject's body. The 3D wedge-like structure has a hole and is attached to the belt by a pair of ascending straps each passing through the hole. Each of a pair of lateral straps passes through the hole and attaches the 3D wedge-like structure to and around one of the thighs. The handle has one pair of descending straps extending therefrom and attaching to the saddle-shaped structure and another pair of ascending straps extending therefrom and attached to each other behind the subject's neck.
