Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate to an apparatus for providing pressurized, thermally conditioned air, comprising a casing, a housing in the casing describing an airflow pathway with an air diffusing outlet proximate to an outlet opening for providing a stream of pressurized air through the outlet opening, a convective module disposed part of the housing and the outlet opening via the airflow pathway. The apparatus can include a first sensor input port adjacent to a portion of the casing and configured to receive a signal indicative of a first physiological indicator and a first sensor output port adjacent to a portion of the casing and configured to transmit the signal indicative of the first physiological indicator. The apparatus can include a controller configured to determine a first physiological indicator value from the first sensor input port and perform at least one operation.

Abstract: Cushioning articles include a layer with a plurality of cuts arrayed in a pattern. The cuts are gaps and the gaps do not form apertures allowing one to see through the layer when the layer is in an unstressed state, but in a stressed state, at least some of the cuts become gaps that are perforations through the layer. In the stressed state the layer expands to form the cushioning article. The cushioning article may be a multi-layer article with another layer that is contacted to the stressed layer in the stressed state to hold the layer in a stressed state.
